Tembang sunda, also called seni mamaos cianjuran, is a style of classical vocal music that originated in the
Kabupaten Cianjur during the Dutch colonial period (mid-nineteenth century). The traditional vocal portion is sung free verse poetry, the instrumental accompaniment being performed on kacapi (zither), suling (bamboo flute) and sometimes, rebab (violin). A more modern, and metrical, form of lyrics exists that is called panambih.[1]
laras pelog convey a light mood, the last four in laras sorog
are more slow and grave. The change to laras sorog usually takes place at midnight and lasts til sunrise.
