Summary:
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 island ... The primary function of gamelan music in Bali is to accompany religious rituals. ... 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. This authoritative book ... presents an introduction to many types of Balinese gamelan ensembles ... The instruments and basic principles underlying the music are introduced, providing listeners with the means to better appreciate the music--P. [4] of cover.
