Compare and contrast Balinese and Javanese gamelan styles
What will be an ideal response?
• Both Bali and Java use similar gamelan instruments based on same scale system (pélog and sléndro) and similar gong punctuation.
• Both areas use gamelan music for ritual celebrations (not in private residences in Bali, however).
• Balinese gamelan music tends to have less standardized gamelan instrumentation, to be strictly instrumental, to be characterized by abrupt changes in tempo and loudness (episodic formal structure), to demonstrate a dazzling technical mastery by the musicians, and have a more "exciting, dynamic and exuberant" sound than Javanese gamelan music.
