Gamelan Beleganjur Reyong & Two Note Skeletal Melody - Demo 1

Gamelan Beleganjur

In the first clip, Made plays the individual reyong parts. He uses the tromping instrument from the gamelan gong kebyar ensemble for the demonstration. The tromping; however, is never used in a gamelan beleganjur ensemble.

The typical beleganjur marching ensemble requires four performers for reyong part. Each performer carries one of the tuned reyong gongs. The reyong parts are organized into an 8 beat cycle that repeats frequently throughout the performance.
