This text is for questions 18 to 22. A long time ago, there was a Kingdom in East Java called Kediri. Once it was ruled by Tunggul Ametung after the former king, Kertajaya was defeated. Tunggul Ametung had a very beautiful wife named Ken Dedes. In the meantime, there lived Ken Arok, the ruler of Tumapel who built his own empire called Singosari. One day, Ken Arok accidentally saw Ken Dedes and decided that he had to have Ken Dedes as his wife, at any risk. However, Ken Dedes was Tunggul Ametung’s wife, so he decided to kill Tunggul Ametung. Then he ordered a “keris” from priest named Mpu Gandring. It took a long time to make the weapon because the priest had to perform some rituals. Ken Arok was impatient to wait for the keris to be completed. He wanted to marry Ken Dedes very quickly. So he visited Mpu Gandring and asked whether the keris was completed. Mpu Gandring said that it wasn’t completed yet. On hearing the priest’s answer, Ken Arok became so angry then he took the semi-completed keris and stabbed the priest. Before he died, the priest cursed the keris. This weapon is well known as the Mpu Gandring’s keris. Later, Ken Arok lent the keris to Kebo Ijo, a petty criminal. Kebo Ijo was so proud that he showed it to everyone. At night, Ken Arok retrieved it and successfully killed Tunggul Ametung. Kebo Ijo was framed as the killer, but before he could talk, Ken Arok killed him with the keris. In the 5th years of his reign, a man called Anusapati wanted the throne of Singosari from Ken Arok. Anusapati then killed Ken Arok using the Mpu Gandring’s keris. Later Tohjaya, the son of Ken Arok and his concubine named Ken Umang, wanted to take revenge for his father death. During the 21st year of Anusapti’s rule, Tohjaya invited Anusapati to gamble and when Anusapati was having fun, Tohjaya killed Anusapati, again with Mpu Gandring’s keris. After Anusapati’s death, his son Ranggawuni wanted the throne. Tohjaya sent Lembu Ampal to attack Ranggawuni and his companion, Mahesa Cempaka. However, Lembu Ampal realized that Ranggawuni was the right person to be king so he joined Ranggawuni and they fought against Tohjaya. Tohjaya was killed with Mpu Gandring’s keris. In the end, it is said Ranggawuni and Mahesa Cempaka realized that Mpu Gandring’s keris would only cause chaos and death, so they threw the keris into the Java Sea. The legend said that it turned into a dragon. Taken from PR Bahasa Inggris X, Intan Pariwara 2012.

Sasando is a harp-like traditional string musical instrument from Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The name of Sasando derives from “sasandu” which means vibrating or sound instrument. My uncle has one. He can’t play it really well, but knows the technique of how to play it. He bought it during a trip to East Nusa Tenggara last year. My uncle’s Sasando is a bamboo tube that serves as the frame of the instrument. The tube is surrounded by several wooden wedges, where the strings are stretched from the top to the bottom. The wedges are to hold the strings higher than the tube surface, to produce various lengths of strings which create different musical notations. The bamboo tube is surrounded by a bag-like fan of dried lontar or palmyra leaf, which is used as the resonator. My uncle once showed me how to play it; that is with both hands reaching the strings on bamboo tube through the lontar opening on the front and the player’s fingers pluck the strings similar playing a harp.
