The Brief History of Pura Mangkunegaran Palace According to Pamodyo (2010, PP.1-5) Pura Mangkunegaran Palace is one of tourist attractions in Solo which is located on Jl. Ronggowarsito, Surakarta, Central Java. Mangkunegaran Palace or usually called Pura Mangkunegaran was established by Prince Mangkunegoro I or Praja Mangkunegaran or Raden Mas (R.M.) Said who is also known as Pangeran Samber Nyawa. Raden Mas Said was born in Kartasura Palace on April 17, 1725. He is the son of Prince Aryo Mangkunegoro and R.A Wulan. Patih Danurejo who was the vice regent of Mataram Kingdom and King’s assistant exiling Aryo Mangkunegoro to Srilanka because he had family affair with the mistress of Paku Buwono II, Dewi Larasati. In 1740, there was the China rebellion against the Dutch in Batavia. This rebellion was followed by Mataram Kingdom and regions around it. Raden Mas Said, who was still young, and his brother joined with Mataram people fighting against the Dutch. They left the palace and went to Nglareh region in Wonogiri. It caused R.M Said more powerful and stronger because the people supported his struggle. Patih Kadunawarsa from Mangkunegaran suggested him to join with Sunan Kuning in Randu lawang region to fight together. He also joined his father in law, Kanjeng Pangeran Mangkubumi, to fight against the Dutch which wasin alliance with Sultan Hamengkubuwono I. R.M. Said won in every fight against the Dutch. After all of the struggle, the Dutch and alliance offered R.M Said to sign a territorial land agreement namely Perjanjian Gianti in Kali Cacing, Salatiga City. According to the agreement, R.M Said was crowned as Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Aryo Mangkunegoro and had an equal position with the othercommit kings to of user Java.

Supanggah aDepartment of Physics, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya, Indonesia bDepartment of Engineering Physics, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Bandung, Indonesia cDepartement of Karawitan, Institut Seni Indonesia, Surakarta, Indonesia Abstract Pendopo Mangkunegaran Surakarta is a building that has a volume of 3000 m3, a pyramid form of roof, and no walls. The objective of the research in this paper is to explore the condition of Listening Level (LL), a sub-sequence Reverberation Time (Tsub), Clarity (C80, D50) and Inter-Aural Cross Correlation (IACC) at Pendopo Mangkunegaran Surakarta. To quantify the acoustic parameters of the Pendopo, microphones were located in the area of the King, distinguished guests, dancers, and audience. The source of sound is located at the corner of where the Gamelan is played. The sound of Gamelan at the corner of the Pendopo produces a diverse distribution of sound and reverberation time in the room, especially in the center of the room. It is concluded that the acoustic quality of Pendopo building is appropriate for Javanese Gamelan performances with a well-developed spatial effect. © 20152015 The The Authors. Authors.

Frederick This thesis discusses one central problem: What happened to Indonesian historiography in the New Order (1966-98)? To analyze the problem, the author studies the connections between the major themes in his intellectual autobiography and those in the metahistory of the regime. Proceeding in chronological and thematic manner, the thesis comes in three parts. Part One presents the author’s intellectual autobiography, which illustrates how, as a member of the generation of people who grew up in the New Order, he came into contact with history. Part Two examines the genealogy of and the major issues at stake in the post-New Order controversy over the rectification of history. Part Three ends with several concluding observations. First, the historiographical engineering that the New Order committed was not effective. Second, the regime created the tools for people to criticize itself, which shows that it misunderstood its own society. Third, Indonesian contemporary culture is such that people abhor the idea that there is no single truth.

    Nyai Bei Mardusari, a Wife of Mangkunegara VII and a famous Surakarta Dancer and Pesindhdn (1936) Singer-dancers ( talgdhek) with small gamelan at roadside warung (1955) Photographs by Claire Holt WHO IS TH E PESINDHEN? NOTES ON THE FEMALE SINGING TRADITION IN JAVA R. Anderson Sutton* Those who have attended performances of gamelan music in Central Java can be in no doubt that the solo female singer (pesindhen) is accorded a role of special prominence. Usually situated conspicuously in front of the gamelan, she is set off from the male instrumentalists for all to see. Amplifiers often blast her voice at peak volume over the full gamelan ensemble. In the performance of many pieces she is given solo passages (andhegan), which draw all attention exclusively to her. One of my teachers in Java, Suhardi, used to tell me that there was no sense in playing gamelan if there were no pesindhen. Although for some pieces he would adopt the "loud-playing" style, with no vocal or soft-sounding instruments of any kind, he was like most Javanese performers and listeners in his fondness for the "soft-playing" style— in which a pesindhen is an essential component. Commercial cassette recordings of gamelan music, almost without exception, feature the vocal line of the pesindhen at a much higher dynamic level than that of any instrumental part. On the covers of cassettes appear the names and often the photographs of the pesindhen (usually several)* 1 who sang in the recorded perform­ ance. The names of these singers are generally well known, and buyers often choose a particular cassette because it features one of their favorite pesindhen.

One of the biggest sugar factory in Java was the sugar factory owned by Mangkunegaran Kingdom (Praja Mangkunegaran). The sugar factory represented a capitalist industrial culture that prioritized rationality. On the other hand, the process of supplying raw materials for sugar factories in vorstenlanden area (Praja Kejawen) was highly dependent on Javanese farmers who were strong with their agrarian culture. This paper aimed to figure out the interaction between the two cultures, which together carried out the sustainability of the sugar industry in Java. The interaction of these two cultures was seen from the components of the actors, activities, and places of the Tasikmadu Sugar Factory owned by Praja Mangkunegaran as a case study with a historical approach. The finding of the study indicated that there was acculturation between capitalist industrial culture and Javanese agrarian culture, which could be seen in the aspects of the actors, activities, and architectural layout of the Tasikmadu sugar factory.
