Javanese Gamelan Paper

Objective:

• Write a 2-3 page (500-750 word) detailed description of any Central Javanese gamelan performance. Use the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive as your point of access to Javanese gamelan videos and audio clips when choosing one for the project.

• Include background information about the instruments, the piece, what the function might be (ritual, palace, village), dance that might accompany, etc. The liner notes for Smithsonian Folkways and UNESCO publications are very useful sources to find out this information, crosscheck a few sources to make sure

• The choice of performance is up to you! Find one you enjoy!

• Otto has taken the time to record a video with step by step instructions on how to navigate the archive. Here is the link:

Library Access

Founded in 1961, the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive is one of the largest “world music” media archives in North America and includes traditional, folk, popular, and art musics from Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific islands, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Take some time to review the archive. There are thousands and thousands of resources that people have spent years discovering. I hope you will find it interesting!

Things to consider when writing:

• Examine the history of your gamelan of choice

• Consider comparing and contrasting your gamelan of choice with other gamelans

• Evaluate what is unique compared with other sources and styles.

• Incorporate vocabulary that were used in class or in related reading materials

Format:

• Use a standard collegiate format that you are comfortable writing in, such as MLA,

Chicago, or APA format

• Write in Times New Roman font at 12 point font size, 1 inch borders, double spaced

• You may write in English or Bahasa Indonesia (if you are comfortable writing in that language)

• Include a bibliography that includes a citation for the Javanese gamelan performance that you chose and any additional sources you might have used

*Note: The bibliography does not count as page length, and additional sources are encouraged but not required

Good Luck!!
