Ananda Sukarlan's new song-cycle for tenor & piano will be premiered in Louisville, USA, on November 17th at WUOL 90.5 FM classical radio and broadcast by internet radio throughout the whole world. "3 S Dalam Cinta" (3 S in love) is a song-cycle in Indonesian consisting of 3 love songs for tenor and piano based on poems by Sitor Situmorang and Sapardi Djoko Damono. The second one, "Pria yang (pergi) jauh" was written in 2009 as ...a farewell song to its dedicatee, Farman Purnama, who left for his studies in Holland and since then has often been performed, and this year Ananda has added 2 songs to sandwich it and complete them as a cycle. They now are :Malam Kebumen (Sitor Situmorang), dedicated to Dani Dumadi
Pria yang (pergi) Jauh (Sapardi Djoko Damono, Sonet no.3), ded. to Farman Purnama
Surat Kertas Hijau (Sitor Situmorang), ded. to Ivan Yohan.
The World Premiere in Louisville will be performed by tenor Samuel Tandei and pianist Ruthanne Fulton, and will be broadcast live. They will complete the program with other Ananda's other songs for medium-high voice Dalam Sakit (Sapardi Djoko Damono, dedicated to all who died of AIDS), Meninggalkan Kandang (Eka Budianta, in memoriam Prof. Dr. Fuad Hassan), Oktava Tanggal Tua (Eka Budianta) and Kama (on poem written in jail by Ilham Malayu) as well as other classical songs by Western composers.
