Programme

The multiple and prolific gamelan tradition on the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali bears a common thread in the form of a set of percussion instruments, with the regular inclusion of bamboo flutes. Their music exhibits a wide range of sounds and genres, depending on the materials used to make the instruments and the area of origin. Most of the instruments in the gamelan gong kebyar are made of bronze. The term kebyar, which can be translated as ‘to burst open’, synthesises some characteristic traits of the music composed for this type of gamelan, distinguished by abrupt contrasts in tempo, dynamics, and texture. Although it emerged in a politically uncertain context due to the recent colonisation, some speculate that its aesthetics may have been affected by this.

Gamelan Barasvara, a gamelan gong kebyar group permanently residing at the Museu de la Música, will perform a series of original kebyar-style pieces, such as the tabuh kreasi baru, newly created instrumental compositions, and the short dances named tari lepas.
