K. P. H. Notoprojo

Kanjeng Pangeran Harjo Notoprojo (Hanacaraka: ꦑꦤ꧀ꦗꦼꦁꦦꦔꦺꦫꦤ꧀ꦲꦂꦗꦟꦡꦦꦿꦗ), also known as Tjokrowasito, Wasitodipuro, Wasitodiningrat, among other names (March 17, 1909 – August 30, 2007), was one of the most highly respected performers of Javanese gamelan.

He was then given a title similar to a prince: K. P. H. Notoprojo, or Kanjeng Pangeran Haryo, which remained his name until the end of his life.

He grew up in the Paku Alaman palace, and began studying gamelan at age five from his legal father, R.W.

Notoprojo, following extended residencies in Solo, furthered this process, perhaps to the point in which the style of the Pura Pakualaman could be heard as largely Solonese in character.

He composed music for the new genre of sendratari dance-drama in the 1960s, including the first performances held at the Lara Jonggrang temple complex in Prambanan.

Scores of his works, as well as a two-volume set of his notation for vocal music, are published by the American Gamelan Institute.

According to the note by Brown in the reissued version of that CD, "Puspawarna" was one of Carl Sagan's favorites on the record.

According to Mantle Hood, "It is accepted that no other Indonesian has even approached the contributions of this man in helping the world know the great gamelan traditions of Java.
