gamelan at English => English (The Britannica Concise) Of Explained:
Indigenous orchestra of Java and Bali, and more generally of Indonesia and Malaysia, usually consisting largely of gongs, xylophones, and metallophones (rows of tuned metal bars struck with a mallet). Gamelan polyphony is complex and many-voiced. The melody is taken by the voice, flute, or rebab (a bowed stringed instrument); under it, most of the other instruments provide rhythmic paraphrases of the melody, producing a shimmering, variegated texture. The gamelan has influenced such Western composers as C. Debussy, O. Messiaen, J. Cage, S. Reich, and P. Glass.
