The Malay gamelan (Malay/Indonesian: gamelan Melayu; Jawi: ݢاميلن ملايو) is a style of music originated from Indonesia, performed in Malay-populated regions of Indonesia (particularly in North Sumatra, Riau and Riau Islands) and Malaysia (particularly in Pahang, Terengganu and Johor) as well.

Etymology

The word of Gamelan derived from the term in Template:Lang-jv, which means "hitting" or "striking" refer to playing of percussion instruments or the act of striking with a mallet, + an (noun-forming suffix). While the word of Melayu refer to the Malays which had its correlation to Melayu Kingdom.

History

Joget Gamelan is one of the classical Malay dance. This classic dance was first performed at the Palace in the Riau-Lingga (present-day Indonesia) in the 17th century. It was first performed in public in Pekan, Pahang in 1811 in the wedding ceremony of Tengku Hussain, the son of Sultan Abdul Rahman who ruled Lingga, with Wan Esah, the younger sister of Bendahara Ali from Pahang. It was first introduced in Terengganu after Tengku Mariam, a princess in Pahang, married Tengku Sulaiman, the prince to Tengku Zainal Abidin from Terengganu. In 1913, the Malay Gamelan tradition disappeared from the abolition of the Riau-Lingga Sultanate and later moved to Pahang, and until it spread to Terengganu. The Malay gamelan was first brought to Kuala Lumpur in 1969 in a public performance. Since then, it has become a part of the Malaysian arts and cultural heritage. Gamelan is commonly played during formal occasions like weddings and traditional ceremonies, such as the wayang kulit. In the past, about 80 traditional gamelan music were performed but this has now been reduced to 50, with 12 songs being the common ones, some of them include Timang Burung, Ayak-Ayak and Seri Rama Balik.

In 2021, Gamelan was listed as a Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, part of the intangible cultural heritage of Indonesia.

Instruments

Based on the gamelan set discovered in 1966 at Istana Kolam, Terengganu, a set of Terengganu Malay gamelan consists of seven basic instruments:

  1. Keromong, also known as bonang (a set of 10 small kettle gongs)
  2. Gambang (a wooden xylophone)
