The musicalization of a dozen of Sapardi’s poems made the evening felt so special. The audience is invited to contemplate the melodious music composed from the two maestros’ poems.
The popular poem “Hujan Bulan Juni” was also sung and greeted with boisterous cheers from the audience who also sing along.
Tak ada yang lebih tabah
dari hujan bulan Juni
Dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya
Kepada pohon berbunga itu
The atmosphere was enlivened even more when the artists asked one of the audience members to choose a favourite poem and sing along. The audience member chose “Kartu Pos.” Another interesting poem is “Sajak Kecil Tentang Cinta,” heart-warmingly describing one’s feeling when falling in love.
