" Gongs "
Explanation:
- The gong ageng is a musical instrument from Indonesia that is used in Javanese gamelan. It is the largest of the bronze gongs in the Javanese and Balinese gamelan orchestras, as well as the only huge gong in Javanese.
- Unlike the more well-known Chinese or Turkish tam-tams, Indonesian gongs have a set, concentrated pitch and sound nothing like a crash cymbal.
- Each gamelan has at least one huge gong, although two are more typical, and ancient gamelans may have three or more. The gong ageng often has its own name, which may be bestowed upon the full ensemble of instruments.
- The agung is a pair of wide-rimmed, vertically hanging gongs employed as a supporting instrument in kulintang ensembles by the Maguindanao, Maranao, Sama-Bajau, and Tausug peoples of the Philippines.
- The gong ageng is regarded as the most significant instrument in a gamelan ensemble: the gong is supposed to house the gamelan's soul or essence.
- Before Gong ageng performances, ceremonial gifts of flowers, food, and incense are frequently made.
