Ancient ceremonial music played on the gamelan gong (usually a gong kebyar nowadays) is complemented by the plaintive tones of a gamelan angklung across the courtyard and preferably also by a rare, sacred ensemble with specific associations to cremation rituals, the gamelan gambang (see Schaareman 1980).
Next comes the gamelan angklung (if there is one), the tower, the beleganjur group, and the remainder of the crowd; in grand cremations, a pair of gendèr wayang (bronze-keyed metallophones that are mainly identified with Balinese shadow-puppetry performances) may be played from opposite sides of the base of the tower as it is carried along.
