Betty Beath - Nawang Wulan, Guardian of the Earth and Rice.wmv

Nawang Wulan, Guardian of the Earth and Rice (1980) voice and piano. According to Javanese legend, Nawang Wulan was a heavenly nymph whose wings were stolen one day while she was bathing. She was compelled to live on earth and to marry Joko Tarub to whom she bore a child. When eventually, she found her wings she returned to heaven, but she promised to come again whenever the child might need her help. In this poem Subagio Sastrowardojo gives her a more general protective role as the guardian of the earth and rice. I love the writing of Sastrowardojo and this was a reason I decided to set the original text which was Bahasa Indonesia. Betty Beath.
