The four instrument families are: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Today we are going to explore the percussion family. Get your tapping fingers and toes ready! The percussion family includes all of the instruments that are “struck” in some way. We have no official records of when humans first used percussion instruments, but from ancient times, drums have been used for tribal dances and for communications of all kinds. Today, there are more instruments in the percussion family than in any other. They can be grouped into two types: 1. Percussion instruments that make just one pitch. These include: Snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, wood block, gong, maracas and castanets Triangle Castanets Tambourine Snare Drum Wood Block Gong Maracas Bass Drum Cymbals 3 2. Percussion instruments that play different pitches, even a melody. These include: Kettle drums (also called timpani), the xylophone (and marimba), orchestra bells, the celesta and the piano Piano Celesta Orchestra Bells Xylophone Kettle Drum How percussion instruments work There are several ways to get a percussion instrument to make a sound. You can strike some percussion instruments with a stick or mallet (snare drum, bass drum, kettle drum, triangle, xylophone); or with your hand (tambourine).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE “Sound Come-Unity”: Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker September 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Deborah Wong, Chairperson Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley Dr. René T.A. Lysloff Dr. Liz Przybylski Copyright by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker 2019 The Dissertation of Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments Writing can feel like a solitary pursuit. It is a form of intellectual labor that demands individual willpower and sheer mental grit. But like improvisation, it is also a fundamentally social act. Writing this dissertation has been a collaborative process emerging through countless interactions across musical, academic, and familial circles. This work exceeds my role as individual author. It is the creative product of many voices. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Professor Deborah Wong. I can’t possibly express how much she has done for me. Deborah has helped deepen my critical and ethnographic chops through thoughtful guidance and collaborative study. She models the kind of engaged and political work we all should be doing as scholars. But it all of the unseen moments of selfless labor that defines her commitment as a mentor: countless letters of recommendations, conference paper coachings, last minute grant reminders. Deborah’s voice can be found across every page. I am indebted to the musicians without whom my dissertation would not be possible. Priya Gopal, Vijay Iyer, Amir ElSaffar, and Hafez Modirzadeh gave so much of their time and energy to this project.

    Supplernental Note on a Recent Javanese Gamelan Record by Ernst Heins The first longplaying record of Javanese gamelan music to be issued outside Indonesia has recently been made available on the international market under the title, Gamelan Music from Java, PHILIPS 631 209 PL (stereo 831 209 PY). The recordings were made, with the kind permission of H.R.H. the Susuhunan, at the royal kraton of Surakarta. The court musicians (nijaga Palem) usually rehearse twice a week, on Wednesday and "Saturday evenings, in the audience-hall of the palace, the pendapa Sasanasewaka. The music on the Philips disc consists of compositions played during these rehearsal-periods at the request of Mr. Nusjirwan Tirtaamidjaja, who also made the recordings, late in December 1963. Copies of Mr. Tirtaamidjaja’s recordings were deposited in the Ethnomusicological Archive sec­ tion of the Institute of Musicology, University of Amsterdam. In homage to its founder and former director, the late Dr. Jaap Kunst, the Archive chose two pieces from Mr. Tirtaamidjajafs collection and edited them as a gramophone record. The following note is not designed to demonstrate the disc’s various merits or demerits. It is merely intended to supply some additional relevant informa­ tion which, for lack of space, could not be included in the notes on the record’s sleeve. TUKUNG Of the two pieces selected, the gending bonangan ”Tukung” (18 minutes), in pelog patet barang, (or rather its nuclear theme) has been rendered in~staff notation on the sleeve of the disc, mainly to facilitate analytical listening to the two paraphrasing (panerusari) instruments, the bonang barung (low bonang) and the bonang panerus (high bonang), whTch lend their name to this type of composition (gending bonang).

  • HUMAN GAMELAN LESSON ONE ] May 26, 2011
    [HUMAN GAMELAN LESSON ONE ] May 26, 2011 Lesson by: Vera H. Flaig B.Mus. B.Ed. Ph.D. Description: This lesson explores the concepts of Frequency (speed of a vibration commonly known as pitch) and Duration (length of vibration) through movement and sound. Curricular Outcomes: This lesson is best for older Primary and younger Junior students (grades 3-5). At the conclusion of this lesson, students will be able to understand the various layers that make up the texture of gamelan music. Given that these layers are based upon the duration and frequency of the vibration of each instrument, they will then be able to apply their knowledge to more complex problem solving related to the physics of sound production. Materials: large room with plenty of space for movement plus the following items: a frame-drum, a xylophone (with wooden bars) and a metalophone; a white board with different-colored dry-erase markers; and a CD or MP3 player. You will also need: the notation and a recording of “Bubaran Kembang Pacar,” and the Introduction to Javanese Gamelan power-point slides (in the resources folder), plus a projector. Getting Ready Write out the notation for “Bubaran Kembang Pacar” on the white board. Just write out the numbers for the balungan without any extra symbols for the structural parts; these will be added later. Set up the xylophone (the one with wooden bars) and the metalophone in the following manner: take off the E key, put the F key in its place and add an F# key. Put stickers on the instrument with number 1 being a B, 2 = C; 3 = D; 4 = F; 5 = F#; and 6 = G.

  • The Javanese Gamelan Kyai Madu Laras (Venerable Sweet Harmony)
    THE JAVANESE GAMELAN KYAI MADU LARAS (VENERABLE SWEET HARMONY) A gift to the Faculty of Music from The Minister of Forestry of The Republic of Indonesia H.E.SUDJARWO JEREMY MONTAGU THE BATE COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL INSTRUMENTS UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD FACULTY OF MUSIC St.Aldate’s, Oxford £ 1.00 Sixth Edition Jeremy Montagu Among the earliest evidence for the Javanese Gamelan are a few instruments found archæologically and carvings on the eighth century AD Temple of Boro- bodur, which include bonangs1, sarons and gongs. Some instruments, including the rebab and the tarompet (a shawm which is displayed in the Shawm Case), were introduced with Islam in about the 14th century, and by the 15th century gamelans existed much as they do today. An increase in the number of instru- ments has continued, and the inclusion of a full set of kenongs and kempuls is comparatively recent. There are many varieties of gamelan in Indonesia today, consisting of different types and combinations of instruments, some with instruments made of bamboo, some with instruments of bronze, others with those of iron, and some with large numbers of instruments, and some with only a few. The Gamelan Kyai Madu Laras is the classic type of Central Javanese gamelan and is a full double gamelan of high-quality bronze instruments. It came to us from Klaten, a small town halfway between the two great centres of Central Javanese gamelan, Surakarta (or Solo) and Yogyakarta (or Jogya), as a most generous gift from the Minister of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, His Excellency Sudjarwo.

Commissioned by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, the original version of Ba Yin (The Eight Sounds) was written for and premiered NOTES by Chen Yi by the Rascher Saxophone Quartet and the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra on October 27, 2001 in Stuttgart, Germany. I adapted the work for saxophone quartet and wind ensemble for the PRISM Quartet and UMKC Wind Symphony under Steven Davis. This new version was premiered on October 4, 2015 at Helzberg Hall of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Missouri. In ancient China, music was called “The Eight Sounds” (Ba Yin), as it was played with eight kinds of instruments made with metal, stone, silk, bamboo, gourd, clay, leather, and wood. In my concerto, Ba Yin, I use a saxophone quartet and a chamber wind ensemble to recall my impressions of music played by villagers on old traditional instruments in various ensembles in China.

  • Synthesizing a Javanese Gong Ageng
    SYNTHESIZING A JAVANESE GONG AGENG Lydia Ayers Andrew Horner The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Department of Computer Science Clear Water Bay, Kowloon Hong Kong ABSTRACT Kuttner 1990, Rossing 1994, Zheng 1994, Horner, Ayers and Law 1997, Hibber 2003) and orchestral gongs This paper considers the spectral properties of a originally from Turkey and China (Risset 1969, Javanese Gong Ageng, the large gong used in gamelan Chowning 1973, Harvey 1981). Our previous work music to mark the end of each gong cycle. The gong explored the tones of the Woodstock gamelan, a tone has about a dozen significant partials. The tubulong instrument rather than a set of gongs (Horner amplitude modulation of this gong is a characteristic and Ayers 1999). The Indonesian gongs are relatively part of its spectral evolution, and includes some unexplored by comparison, and the Gong Ageng has a synchronized frequency modulation when multiple lower and more focused pitch than its Chinese and components occur at nearly the same frequency. We Turkish counterparts. have developed an additive synthesis Csound implementation for synthesizing the Gong Ageng. The Section 2 of this paper outlines the spectral properties of model produces a tone that is very similar to the the Gong Ageng and Section 3 gives an additive original. synthesis model of the instrument, which is implemented in Csound (Vercoe 1992). 1. INTRODUCTION 2. SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF THE GONG The Gong Ageng is the large bronze gong that marks AGENG the end of each gong cycle in Indonesian music. Gongs as large as 135 centimeters (54 We analyzed a Gong Ageng that is part of Kyai Parijata, inches) have been created in the a Javanese gamelan from the 19th Century (Heins 1969) past, but gongs larger than about that is still used in weekly performances at the Nusantara 80 centimeters (32 inches) are Museum in Delft, the Netherlands.
