Very good
grade 7!
I believe you are now
ready for our next lesson!
Listen to this music.
How would you describe the music?
Can you identify the instruments you hear in
the music?
 If you find it
difficult, that's okay
because the music
was produced by a
gamelan ensemble
from Indonesia.
 That will be our
lesson today!

GAMELAN ENSEMBLE
Vocabulary:

ensemble- a group of musicians, actors, or

dancers who perform together.
What is
Gamelan
Ensemble?
A gamelan is a kind of
musical ensemble typically
featuring a variety of
instruments such as
metallophones, xylophones,
drums, and gongs; bamboo
flutes, bowed and plucked
strings, and vocalists may
also be included.
Where does
Gamelan
Ensemble come
from?
A gamelan ensemble is a
traditional musical group
from Indonesia, particularly
associated with the islands
of Java and Bali.
On the map, where are Bali
and Java located in Indonesia?
Java, Indonesia
Bali, Indonesia
Let’s discover the different
musical instruments of the
Gamelan Ensemble?
For ease of understanding, we will group it
into four categories:
Metallophones Bamboo Flutes
Cradled Gongs
Bowed and
Hanging Gongs Plucked Strings

Drums
Xylophones
1. Metallophone
Saron:
The saron typically consists of seven bronze bars placed on top
of a resonating frame (rancak). It is usually about 20 cm (8 in)
high, and is played on the floor by a seated performer.The sarons
are struck with a mallet (tabuh) in the right hand. Typically the
striking mallet is angled to the right to produce a fuller sound.
1. Metallophone
Demung and saron barung generally use a wooden mallet,
while the peking mallet is made of a water buffalo horn,
which gives it a shriller sound. The left hand, meanwhile, is
used to dampen the previous note by grasping the key, in
order to prevent a muddy sound. On repeated notes, the
note is usually dampened half a beat before it is struck again.

2. Cradled Gongs
Bonang:
The bonang is a collection of small gongs
(sometimes called "kettles" or "pots") placed
horizontally onto strings in a wooden frame
(rancak), either one or two rows wide.
3. Hanging Gongs
A kempul is a type of hanging gong used in
Indonesian gamelan. It is often placed with the gong
suwukan and gong ageng hanging on a single rack,
at the back of the gamelan, and these instruments
are often played by the same player with the same
mallets.
The gong ageng (Kromo Javanese meaning large gong,
ngoko is gong gedhe) is the largest gong in a Javanese and
Balinese gamelan. It is used as to mark the largest phrases in
the structure. In small structures, the gong ageng is used to
mark larger groups than the smaller gong suwukan. In the
larger gendhing, only the gong ageng is used. It is typically
pitched to match the 6 of the gamelan.
4. Drums (Kendhang)
Kendang (Javanese: Kendhang) Keeping the tempo and
signaling transitions. is the primary drum used in the Gamelan
ensembles of Java and Bali as well as various Kulintang
ensembles in other Southeast Asian countries such as
Malaysia, Brunei and the southern Philippines. They usually are
placed on stands horizontally and hit with the hands one either
side while seated on the floor
5. Xylophones
The gambang is used in a number of gamelan ensembles. It is
most notable in the Balinese gamelan Gambang. In Javanese
wayang, it is used by itself to accompany the dalang in certain
chants. Within a full gamelan, it stands out somewhat because
of the high speed of playing, and contrasting timbre because of
its materials and more because it has widest melodic range
which the other instruments don't have.
