Description

Explore the complex musical world of the Balinese gender wayang in this academic study from Routledge. This book provides a detailed examination of the quartet of metallophones, known as gender, that accompanies the traditional Balinese shadow puppet play, wayang kulit. Dr. Nick Gray examines the processes of musical variation, which serve as the primary method for creating new music within this genre. The text looks at how these musical processes affect the social and historical study of Balinese music, as well as musical aesthetics and concepts of creativity. By investigating the relationship between composition and improvisation, this work addresses core ethnomusicological questions in a fresh way. This addition to the SOAS Studies in Music series is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in international music styles and the specific compositional methods used in Balinese shadow puppetry.
