	A Dance-Drama of the Balinese Courts
		Gambuh is critical to the study of Balinese performing arts, as it is seen as the source of all Balinese dance-drama that exists today.
		Gambuh has a rich vocabulary of dance movements which are the basis for much of Balinese dance except, of course, for forms indigenous to Bali (e.g., Rejang and Berutuk).
		The complex melodies and drum patterns of Gambuh became the base from which almost all of the now "classical" forms of Balinese music arose, and the relationship between the music and the dance became a model for forms that were to follow.

	Gambuh: A Dance-Drama of the Balinese Courts
		Gambuh is said to preserve the "manners and ideals of the highly civilized Javanese/Balinese court life of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries."45 Perhaps it is this preservationist function that has encouraged such conservatism in the Gambuh tradition.
		In the movements of Gambuh, we see elements that are similar to the ancient Rejang58 in some of the female roles as well as movement phrases which imitate the Balinese environs, such as the swaying of palms and lizards crossing water.
		Gambuh served an important political function: it glorified the ruler and told the tales of political and romantic exploits of Raden Panji and the courts of East Java.

	Informat.io on Gamelan
		Gamelan orchestras are common to the Indonesian islands of Java, Madura, Bali, and Lombok (and other Sunda Islands), in a wide variety of ensemble sizes and formations.
		Traditions of gamelan have long been established in the Philippines, Malaysia and Suriname due to emigration, trade, or diplomacy.
		Gamelan music typically is rhythmmically organized by nested cycles, a feature that ethnomusicologists call "colotomy." The most prominent colotomic part is the gong ageng which is said to rule the ensemble.

	Gambuh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Esoteric and highly stylized, by turns raucous and stately, Gambuh is believed to have originated in the court of the mighty East Javanese Majapahit era (13-16th centuries) which ruled Bali as well as much of Southeast Asia at the time.
		It is poignant to witness the last of the real Gambuh experts, I Gede Geruh, aged and crippled, as he teaches a young male dancer the strong roles in Pedungan village at dusk.
		Gambuh belongs to the bebali or semisecular class of dances which are performed in the second courtyard of temples.

	Dancers of Bali Gamelan from Peliatan, 1952 liner notes
		Gamelan generally utilizes a five-tone octave (four for gamelan angklung), whether it be in the sléndro tuning of gender wayang or the pélog tuning of most other genres.
		This gambangan is suggestive of the gambang ensemble itself, using the reong bronze kettles to suggest the role of the bamboo gambang instruments, and the gamelan kebyar's gangsa metallophones in the role of the gamelan gambang's saron, playing the basic pokok melody.
		The traditional accompaniment of the gamelan pelegongan has all but given way to the dominant gamelan Gong Kebyar, and the thirty- or forty five-minute legong is often shortened to fifteen minutes, adapting to the requirements of tourist entertainment.

	Jack Straw Featured Artist Residency: Emma Zunz
		In 1994, Pak Sinti created a new type of gamelan ensemble called Manikasanti, which means "jewel for peace." Manikasanti features a new tuning system that allows for the playing of various Balinese modes and musical scales, and was inspired by his long study of ritual vocal and instrumental music.
		Gamelan Siwa Nada has a nine-tone tuning system that allows it to produce this scale as well as several others including pelog and slendro.
		This is the only gamelan of its type in the world and Pak Sinti has recently completed a composition, windu sara, which utilizes all nine tones of the tuning system and is only capable of being played on Siwa Nada.

		As much as Balinese Gamelan is known in the West, one of their most unknown ensembles is the Gambuh Theater.
		It is probably not proper to consider Gambuh a Gamelan ensemble because it doesn't have the 'xylophone' type instruments like Gangsa or Saron.

	BALINESE MUSIC
		The typical instruments used in a gamelan are drums, flutes, keyed metal instruments known as metallophes, and bronze gongs.
		It is often said that "a gamelan… is only as good as its gong." However, there is no set combination for these instruments and there is not necessarily always a gong.
		The gamelan makers, or the gongsmiths, arrived with the Majapahit and are called pande gong.

	Gamelan : dance & repertoires
		For example, gambuh is a dance in Bali that is not accompanied by a gamelan.
		The music of gambuh (Malay wayang kulit) is indeed percussive, it has the kendang (gendang), knobbed gongs, and it belongs to the traditional music of Bali (Malaya).
		It is a musical world completely different than gamelan, although the occasional presence of kendang/gendang and knobbed gongs reflects an ancient Indo-Javanese substratum or a later Javanese influence and remind us where we are.

		In Bali, an ensemble playing the island's traditional music is known as a gamelan (gamelan is singular, gamelen is plural).

		It was in the 1910s that the gamelan gong kebyar was created for the specific purpose of accompanying traditional Balinese dancing (which has been influenced by Indian Hindu dancing).

		kempur functions as the gong (i.e., of gamelan gong gede or gamelan gong kebyar), as is also true in gamelan gambuh
		However, here, in contrast to Gambuh, the dance is highly abstract and the relation to the story's plotline is more impressionistic than literal.
		Basic musical and choreographic elements derived mainly from Gambuh, although there is also a strong imprint of the trance dance Sanghyang Dedari ("trance-dance ritual of the celestial nymphs") in the dance style [Note: this is the same ritual from which the interlocking vocal chanting of Kecak derived.]
