Abstract
The lack of assessment of the meaning inlearning macapat songs at school makes the value contained in pupuh Gambuh Serat Wedhatama as a teaching material for macapat song cannot be conveyed.This study aims to identify and describe the Islamic religious caste contained in macapat song. Macapat song is an indigenous Javanese drum that mostly contains the virtue of life. The function and role of macapat songs are as the educational means to instill noble cultural values and religious values into society. The source of this research is Serat Wedhatama pupuh Gambuh song made by KGPAA Mangkunegara IV. The religious caste in this study is interpreted through four levels of Islamic spiritual experience. The research employed semiotic analysis of Riffaterre through hermeneutic codes.The results of the study find four religious castes contained in Serat Wedhatama pupuh Gambuh. Those religious caste include: syariat (Shari'a), tarekat (way),hakekat (substance), and makrifat (knowledge). The four levels of the human group are characterized by the way of worship, purification, and the degree of intimacy with God. The results of this research are expected to enrich the repertoire of studying meaning in macapat songs particularly in Gambuh song in Serat Wedhatama.
