Comment
The Gamelan Selunding is one of three that are preserved in Tenganan, an autonomous village in eastern Bali, and a small republic still faithful today to its original tradition. There are three communal houses in Tenganan, each of them belonging to one of the three Associations of young people: our Selunding is that of Temu Kadja, the Common House of the North. This orchestra is composed of metallophones of different sizes, all with iron blades. The drums, which do not has no drum, is ensured by small cymbals, tjéng-tjéng, the only instrument which is not made of iron, but of an alloy of bronze and silver.The timbres are therefore exclusively metallic and, in fact, the together tinkles like a sumptuous carillon. Dedicated to sacred music and certain ritual dances, the Selunding is an ensemble that, even in Bali, we rarely hear. "Of the three pieces of Selunding reproduced here, the first, REDJANG, is the ritual dance of the 1st month of the year. The young girls of the village, adorned with very beautiful clothes and their most precious jewels, arrange themselves in lines in front of the Balé Agung, a high and vast platform where the members of the government meet daily, and where the most important ceremonies take place. To the sound of the orchestra, their groups wave gracefully to celebrate the annual rebirth of the divine children of Begawan Djaya Pangus, the mythical founding hero of the village."
