Editing Indonesia Raya (section)

===Orchestration===
Initially, there had been no orchestral version of the anthem. Thus in 1950, The Indonesian Government made an appeal to [[Jozef Cleber]] to compose a symphonic rendition of "Indonesia Raya".<ref>{{cite web |title=Indonesia Raya; the National Anthem of Indonesia {{!}} Indonesia Investments |url=https://www.indonesia-investments.com/culture/culture-columns/indonesia-raya-the-national-anthem-of-indonesia/item2410 |website=www.indonesia-investments.com |access-date=24 June 2022}}</ref>

Cleber at the time had been among the 46 people of the Cosmopolitan Orchestra, under direction of Yvon Baarspul, sent by the [[Netherlands]] government to help the Indonesian government for its own music development in Jakarta. "Jos" Cleber was an experienced arranger not only of western songs but also for Indonesian pop songs such as ''Di Bawah Sinar Bulan Purnama'' and ''Rangkaian Melati''. 
 
''Indonesia Raya'' was recorded under Cleber's direction on a newly acquired Phillips [[Reel-to-reel audio tape recording|recorder]] in early 1951 with musicians from all three radio orchestras of [[Radio Republik Indonesia|RRI]] Jakarta and the tape was played for President [[Sukarno]]'s approval. Sukarno found the performance too frilly and asked for something like the [[Flag of Indonesia|red and white Indonesian flag]], and in the [[Grave (tempo)|grave tempo]] of the Dutch anthem [[Wilhelmus]]. Cleber considered this last impossible, though he discerned some of the character of the [[la Marseillaise|Marseillaise]] in the tune and made a second arrangement marked ''maestoso con bravura'' as a compromise. This met Sukarno's approval, but he requested that the climax be prepared by a ''grazioso'' ("Liefelijk") section. This final version of the anthem remained in use for 47 years.
 
The arrangement starts with a ''Tutti'' of strings and trumpets (in Verse A) that represents a brave and an elegant sound, and in the middle of the song (in Verse B) is played smoothly by strings, and finally (in Verse C) comes another ''Tutti'' of strings and trumpets, together with the timpani, snare drums and cymbals, giving it a brave sound fitting for a national anthem that was respected by the people.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070929133301/http://www.kompas.com/kompas-cetak/0008/17/NAPER/indo08.htm Bondan Winarno: "Indonesia Raya" Versi Jos Cleber] ''Kompas'', 17 August 2000</ref>
