| | Central Javanese Gamelan |
| | There are two scales in Javanese gamelan music, "slendro" (pentatonic) and "pelog" (heptatonic-pentatonic). | | | However, the voices are not used as "lead" instruments in court gamelan (as opposed to wayang kulit, shadow puppet theater) and blend with or complement the sound. | | | Different gamelan sets have different sonorities, and are used for different pieces of music; many are very old, and used for only one specific piece. |

| | BALINESE MUSIC (GAMELAN) |
| | Gamelan music is the sum of diverse foreign influences. | | | Throughout this book gamelan gong kebyar has been the "default" ensemble for discussing musical instruments and technicalities because it is the orchestra that visitors are most likely to encounter in a formal performance setting, and the kind of gamelan that most Balinese are likely to know something about. | | | At temple festivals, the exuberance of the 4-tone gamelan angklung's melodies ring out in bold contrast to the solemn and grave lelambatan compositions often heard playing simultaneously right across the courtyard. |

| | TOWARD AN APPRECIATION OF JAVANESE GAMELAN |
| | The University of Hawaii Gamelan concerts differ from the Javanese uyon-uyon because the performers here are members of a Javanese music study group-amateurs in the best sense of the term. | | | On the other hand, unlike Western musicians, Javanese performers have the freedom to "develop" a theme, to edit a piece, to drastically vary the tempo and dynamics, to "improve" or improvise on the music as they play it. | | | Thus in our "concerts", the musicians move from one position to another in order to put into practice what they have learned. |
