Listen to Gendang Keteng-Keteng, Two excerpts, and follow the accompanying Active Listening guide in Worlds of Music. What do you hear in the recording that theoretically relates the music to the gamelan music you have heard so far?
What will be an ideal response?
• Two bamboo tube zithers (keteng-keteng) filling in the music, giving it a busy and dense gamelan-like texture.
• The kulcapi (small two-stringed lute) plays a repeating, cyclic melody.
• The porcelain bowl (mangkuk) and gong-like sounds (from striking a bamboo disk attached to the zithers) create parts resembling the coinciding punctuations and binary subdivisions/rhythms of gamelan gongs.
