Tembang macapat is a traditional poetry literary work living and developing in Java and karawitan is a voice art resulting from gamelan or human voice in harmony with slendro and pelog. To find out what the role of tembang macapat is in karawitan, the author employed Esthetic approach. Sardjono said that an individual can enjoy a beautiful rhythm of tone melody and lyric touching the feeling or the one can be impressed with hearing the poem, the rhyme of which read with intonation and timbre provoking or evoking the feeling. From this statement, the author could find out the role of tembang macapat in karawitan. The role of tembang in karawitan has an important inseparable position between karawitan and tembang macapat. Such the position is on gending presentation with many vocal arrangements. Tembang macapat in karawitan art in this article plays 5 roles: (1)gerongan, (2) gending sekar, (3) kaseling, (4) bawa and (5)palaran. Out of the 5 roles, tembang macapat plays an important position in karawitan, because through the tembang macapat’s entry into karawitan, the presentations of gending in karawitan becomes fresher and preferred more by people and can deliver the message containing education values more easily.
