Gamelan Music of Indonesia, Part 1

In this video lecture I'll introduce you to the gamelan tradition of Java and Bali, with a couple of musical examples drawn from Jeff Todd Titon's Worlds of Music. You should supplement this lecture with this video, wherein Mike Simpson explains and demonstrates the difference between slendro and pelog tuning:    • Gamelan Tuning Systems - Slendro & Pelog   I also recommend that you treat yourself to this concert performance of Kosalia Arini, a gendhing that I dissected in my video lecture:    • Kosalia Arini
