langgam jawa





























langgam jawa is a regional form of indonesian kroncong music most often associated with the city of surakarta (solo). as is the case with traditional kroncong music, langgam jawa utilizes a variety of non-native instruments, such as the flute, guitar, ukulele, cello and violin. however, these instruments are performed using a seven-tone javanese gamelan scale known as pelog. the cello typically plays the role of a gamelan ciblon drum, with the performer slowly plucking or slapping the strings in a percussive fashion.

irama





























"irama" is the term used for tempo in gamelan. it can be used with elaborating instruments. it is a concept used in javanese gamelan music, describing melodic tempo and relationships in density between the balungan, elaborating instruments, and gong structure. it is distinct from tempo (javanese: "laya"), as each "irama" can be played in different tempi. "irama" thus combines "the rate of temporal flow and temporal density"; and the temporal density is the primary factor.
