Gamelan semar pegulingan

Gamelan semar pegulingan is an old variety of the Balinese gamelan. Created at the beginning of the 19th century, the style is sweeter and more rhythmically varied than typical gamelan music. Gamelan semar pegulingan means "gamelan of the love God." The ensemble includes suling and a pair of gendérs, played with hard mallets. It was originally played near the sleeping chambers of the palace, but is now often played to accompany the legong dance.
