Music school receives instrument from Bali that requires 11 players By |onalhan Nelson Of thff f mrralil The percussion department at the Univer sity music school is the recipient of a rare in strument from Itali called the Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra. The instrument itself was donated by an Oregon couple who decided to bring it back with them from Indonesia. The Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra took 12 carvers to make and was a village project promoted by |ohn and Claudia Lynn “While on the island of Lombok, the Lynns were immersed in the music and cultural tradition of the people of Indonesia. They strongly feel that the music of that culture can be shared with music students of Oregon." said Charles Dowd, a University per cussion professor. The instrument itself is a symbol of deep religious meaning and was blessed by Midiyanto Putro, the music director of the lavanese Gamelan in Portland, after arriving in Eugene. Putro fasted for 48 hours before the in strument's blessing. According to ritual, a prayer must be said and shoes must be remov ed before the instrument can be played. Other rituals include offering flowers to the instrument and a banquet before each per formance. Most importantly, a person should never step over any part of the Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra Unlike most percussion instruments that require a single player, the Gamelan Surunadi Sari Indra Putra requires 11 players to make the instrument complete. Portions of the Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra include Kiong (nippled gongs), Ceng-Ceng (cymbals), lublang (pitched bars), and Kendang (a two headed drum played with the hands). The Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra is not only an unusual instrument but also a rare one. I)owd says the instrument will bring the rich heritage of Indonesian culture to the music school. Because the instrument originates in Bali. Putro, also a master drummer/percussionist, had to come down and show Dowd the proper techniques of playing the Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra and also give him a little history about the instrument. Dowd took the percussion ensemble and began to teach them a dedicatory piece he composed for the instrument. “At a time like this, the dedication of a wonderful new per cussion instrument. I feel very fortunate to be a percussionist. We percussionists are immersed in classical, jazz, fusion, music from Africa, Bast India and Brazil by our nature of being 20th century players. This new experience of playing on an Indonesian instrument adds yet another playing experience to our global perspective," Dowd said. The University Percussion ensemble will present the Gamelan Suranadi Sari Indra Putra in a concert at Beall Hall on Thursday, May 19 at 8 p in.
