Gamelan Beleganjur

Gamelan beleganjur is another ensemble featured during ceremonies. You heard this type of gamelan accompany the processions that took place during temple anniversaries and at cremations. All of the instruments are portable, borrowed from the much larger stationary ensemble called gamelan gong kebyar, or occasionally from gamelan angklung. The heavy gongs are strung up on poles; the drums are carried on a strap around the neck; and the rack of kettle gongs is divided up so that each kettle gong is carried and played by one musician.
