	Pelog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pelog is one of the two essential scales of gamelan music native to Bali and Java, in Indonesia.
		Since the tuning varies so widely from island to island, village to village, and even gamelan to gamelan, it is difficult to characterize in terms of intervals, but a rough approximation in terms of 9-tone equal temperament is:
		For example, Gamelan gong kebyar instruments have no keys for barang or dada, because gong kebyar music is always played in the pelog selisir subset (tones 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6; heard in the audio example above).

		The most prominent use of gamelan for a religious occasion is the nearly continual playing of the massive gamelan sekaten in the courtyard of the main mosques in Yogyakarta and Surakarta to mark the birth of the prophet each year.
		However, gamelan instruments, compositions and music theory have all been implicated in mystical beliefs linked to Sufism and Tantrism (Sastrapustaka, 1984 and Becker, 1993); certain pieces are believed to be spiritually powerful (even dangerous) and gamelan performance is sometimes used for meditation.
		Gamelan is an important element in certain rituals such as sacred dances performed annually at the major palaces or purification ceremonies involving special shadow play (ruwatan).

	Gamelan
		Gamelan music is an integral part of all cultural activities in Java such as wayang kulit (leather puppets) performance, court dance, uyon-uyon (symphony orchestra performance), etc. There are two kinds of laras (tuning) in gamelan, namely slendro (comparable to minor key in Western music) and Pelog (major key).
		The pengendang (drumer) is the conductor of the gamelan orchestra.
		All the gamelan players are sitting cross-legged on a mat during a performance.

	A World in Two Cities
		Although the gamelan tradition is one of community and the group becoming more important than the individual, both philosophically and concretely, modern changes in the way gamelan needs to exist to thrive have altered the pedagogical experience somewhat.
		Learning to play in a gamelan through endless hours of simply playing in an ensemble is not the norm as it once was.
		Gamelan exists roughly now in Indonesia on these two planes: one of serious professional-level playing and one of more casual playing just for enjoyment.

	Gamelan of Central Java I: Classical Gendings - CD / cdRoots
		The gamelan music of the central region of Java uses two basic scales: the first of these, comprising five notes is called slendro while the other of seven notes is called pelog.
		Each piece is based around one or the other of these two scales which means that in order to perform the whole repertory the gamelan orchestra must have two sets of instruments at its disposal, one tuned to slendro the other to the pelog.
		Listeners to Classical Gendings are sure to be enchanted by the circularity of the sounds produced by the gamelan orchestra as well as by their timbral qualities and the polyphonic patterns they create.

	Gongsmithing article
		The richly polyphonic music of the Javanese gamelan entrances the ear, while the appearance of the ensemble, with its assortment of gongs suspended from carved teakwood supports framing an extravagance of bronze kettles and keys, delights the eye as well.
		Because the primary cost of gamelan manufacture has always been the purchase copper and tin, materials which were particularly precious during wartime, we can presume gamelan commissions virtually ceased during the economic and cultural dislocation from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s.
		Thus, the vanishing of the art, forecast by Kunst in 1933 and then decried by him in 1949, must be understood primarily as a symptom of a terribly distressed economy, and not as indicating disinterest or inability on the part of gong smiths.
