These are words to songs learned in Java (Solo or Bandung) around 1910
by a Canadian singer named Eva Gauthier. She later had American
composer Charles T. Griffes set the pieces for piano and voice. She
also sang several pieces by a composer named Paul Zeelig, who had
spent several years in Java.
Does anyone know the provenance of these songs? I am sure that some of
the words are wrong! Is the first song in Sundanese?
The translations were done by Christine Lemelin, a French Canadian
singer who hopes to recreate Gauthier's repertoire, assisted by a
Javanese resident of Montreal.
