Description
This book combines ethnography, philosophy and musical analysis for an in-depth look into the social context and musical praxis of gamelan gong gede, the largest gamelan orchestra of bronze gongs and percussion on the island of Bali. The Hindu -Balinese notion of three human qualities called triguna serves as an interpretive framework for categorizing the musical repertoire according to both widespread religious knowledge and more esoteric wisdom.
