    Angin

    Angin (The Wind) was a setting based on a poem written by Bagus Syafrieza Paradhika, dedicated to Okie Hosea (July 8th, 1981-July 30th, 2020). The music implies a lot of word painting technique such as ‘rainbow’, ‘ stop’, and others. (Jakarta, April 24th, 2020) Mendesau berkesah berhembus lirih Menyampaikan pesan Kesan malam merindukan nurani Memimpikan fajar berpelangi Bertahtakan mentari Berhasrat menuju cakrawala meninggi Membawa perih dambaan hati Bertiup lirih semilir gemerisik Berpilin-pilin mensunyi sesekali berhenti… Membawa pergi rahasia hati. Akankah gejolak batin pergi berakhir? Senyap bertenang angin malam Sampaikan salamku padanya Buah hati kenangan pesona Yang dulu ada kini tiada… Sang penguasa hidup dan semesta padaNya lah segala asa. Bagus…

    Perjalanan Angan

    Perjalanan Angan (Journey of Thoughts) was inspired by the busy traffic in Jakarta. Cherly described the beginning as someone is walking through a crowded situation where people are chatting, the cars are honking, a bakso (meatball) seller is passing by and the ambulance’s siren is heard, when suddenly the thoughts of that person slowly enters one’s own imagination built by the surroundings. With a lot of ideas and imagination, one is dancing in one’s own head. (Jakarta, May 27th, 2019) The music score of this song is published and distributed by Muziksea LLP. Click here to purchase.

    Star Light, Star Bright

    Star Light, Star Bright’s main idea is to imitate the twinkling stars, which represented by the rhythm pattern at the beginning of the song. As it was initially written for primary students, the composer tried to make it as simple as possible by having repetitive patterns, only with different keys and tempo.
