19世紀の半ば頃、インドネシアのスンダ国(ジャワ島西)の王女達をもてなす為、王子達に連れられた楽団が考え出したという、ツィターとフルートを中心としたアンサンブル曲のV.A。洗練された伴奏に合わせ様々なインスピレーションの詩が歌われるスンダ族の魂の表現であり、夜になると農民たち数人の音楽家が集まり、これら伝統的な詩を何時間も歌い聴き続ける風習があるとの事。オリジナルは1995年リリース、こちらは2021年の新装リイシュー版。



Tales of unlucky love, evocations of dazzling landscapes, nostalgia of the past splendour of the kingdom of Pajajaran (16th c.)... The sources of inspiration of these poems, sung to a refined accompaniment of zithers and flute, are endless and run deep in the souls of the Sundanese people.
In Indonesia, in the Sunda country (west of the island of Java), in about the middle of the 19th century, in order to entertain the princesses of the city of Cianjur, it occurred to a group of musicians, led by a prince smitten with poetry, to create a new type of small instrumental formation. It included, besides the kacapi zither, one or two additional, smaller rincik zither, and a suling flute. This ensemble was designed to accompany a narrator of pantun poems. Soon, several styles were developed in the different regions to adapt to this new genre –called tembang sunda (“Sundanese singing”)–, and in accordance with which several cycles of anonymous poems of all kinds were set to music. Tembang sunda is the music form that is the most widespread in Sunda. In the villages, when night falls, peasants often gather around a few musicians and listen for hours to these traditional poems. They are tales of unlucky love, or nostalgic descriptions of dazzling mountainous landscapes or unexpected lakes, or evocations of the past splendour of the kingdom of Pajajaran (5th-16th c.). The sources of inspiration are endless, but all of these poetic themes run deep in the souls of the people of Sunda. The repertoire draws not only from the ancient, anonymous Hindu heritage, but also from numerous poems and compositions from the 19th century to the present day.
