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.
