Especially, if there are members of the palace that married the Javanese tradition.This means that every nation is certain to have art, but its form is different from one nation to another.As a separate show, Gamelan music is usually combined with the voices of the singers (the male singers called wiraswaradan and the female one called waranggana ).Here is a history of Javanese gamelan that you should know.
![]() In the Balinese language there is the term gamblan which then may be the term gamelan. If Beckers opinion is true, of course the term gamelan is found also in Burma or in some areas of mainland Southeast Asia, but it is not. In the reliefs of the temple, there are several musical instruments consisting of drums, bamboo flutes, harps, stringed and picked strings, and bells. Musical instruments that sketched in the reliefs of Borobudur Temple were used to play the gamelan. At the time of influence of Hindu-Buddhist culture developed in Majapahit Kingdom, gamelan was introduced to Javanese society in Majapahit Kingdom. It was this god who invented the musical instrument gong, which was used to summon the gods. The first gamelan musical instrument created was the gong, which was used to summon the Devas. Sang Hyang Guru then recreated some other equipment like two gongs, until finally formed a set of gamelan. The broadcasters became a member of the Islamic mysticism (tariqa) who fled from Bagdad, when the city was invaded by Mongol Man in 1258. The idea of mystic was warmly welcomed in Java, since since the days before the entry of Islam, the Hindu-Buddhist cultural tradition which is found in Java is dominated by mystical elements. The gamelan was used as a process for mildly Islamicizing Java through their culture and spirituality, although there will be syncretism (Islamic fusion with Javanese or Islamic kejawen ) done by the Javanese people themselves. Then outside of the wishes of Kalijaga who wanted a culture primarily Java follows the religion or the understanding of Islam, and not the religion or the Islamic understanding that follows the culture. This habit began to disappear, when the Javanese society had been affected by Islams own understanding. Since Majapahit, Demak, Pajang and Mataram, and so many Gamelan Sekaten changed hands from one ruler to another leader, or passed down from generation to generation. However, the journey of history has not ended, because Mataram Hadiningrat itself then also broke into two, in 1755 AD through the agreement Giyanti, or become Surakarta and Yogyakarta. However, it can not be ascertained which of the two Mataram Hadiningrat fractional kingdoms that got Gong Kiai Sekar Delima of Brawijaya V heritage and Gong Kiai Sekati Sunan Kalijaga heritage. The result of the historical research conducted by Depdikbud (Ministry of Education and Culture) in 1991-1992 stated that Gamelan Sekaten must be a pair, each of Mataram Hadiningrat (Surakarta and Yogyakarta) fractions, and make new Gong as their partner (Kiai Nogowilogo and Guntur Sari). Karawitan is a term used to describe the soft music of gamelan. Karawitan art using gamelan instruments is found in the art of dance and sound art of Javanese, which is as follows. When there was an official event of the kingdom in the palace, it usually used the strains of gamelan music as accompanist.
