Gamelan Music of Bali


Gamelan Music of Bali

These are field recordings by ethnomusicologist Deben Bhattacharya. The back cover says that the field recordings are "unrehearsed field recordings of Gamelan music made in Balinese villages in 1973-74. The instruments consist of a large variety of metallophones, such as xylophones, suspended gongs, gong chimes, zithers, spike-fiddles, flutes and drums. Colour photos and explanations in the booklet."

Tracklisting:

1. Ceremonial Funeral Music: Tabuh Lelambatan Lawas (Longor) {21:12}

2. Mahabharata [From a shadow play called "Wayang Kulit"] {13:42}

3. Barong (Dance-Drama) {13:09}

4. Trunajaya (Victory for the Young) {12:21}
