In Balinese Gamelan Music, Michael Tenzer, a noted Professor of Music at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, presents an introduction to many types of Balinese gamelan ensembles, each with its own established tradition, repertoire and context. The instruments and basic principles underlying the music are introduced, providing listeners with the means to better appreciate the musicand its importance not only in Bali but around the world.The gamelan music of Bali is a centuries-old kaleidoscope of sound and rhythm that is recognized today as one of the world's most sophisticated musical traditions. Despite rapid changes in contemporary village life, hundreds of groups still perform regularly around this tiny islandfrom isolated mountain hamlets to the bustling precincts of Denpasar, Kuta and Ubud. The primary function of gamelan music in Bali is to accompany religious rituals. Each village typically maintains several different gamelan sets, using each one for a different set of occasions. Music is memorized, and rehearsed in village meeting halls, temples, or private homes. When a gamelan group accompanies a Balinese dance performance, the close coordination between the dancers' movements and the music is established through a complex system of interactive cues and responses. Performance standards are extremely high and even with Bali's rapid modernization in recent years, the gamelan tradition remains vital and largely undiminished by outside musical influences.Chapters include:An Introduction to Balinese MusicA Brief History of the Music Through the Late Twentieth CenturyThe Construction and Tuning of InstrumentsBasic Principles of Gamelan MusicThe Music for the Baris DanceEnsembles and RepertoireMusic in Balinese SocietyThree Generations of Balinese MusiciansGetting InvolvedBalinese Music Since 1990 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 650 4 Music, Asian 650 4 Music |xHistory And Criticism 650 4 Gamelan 655 0 Electronic books. |=^A491897 700 1 Tenzer, Michael |=^A289977 700 1 Moja, I.
