A gamelan angklung is a bronze orchestra that includes four-toned metallophones, gongs,
drums, and flutes. Simple patterns played upon the instruments interlock and combine to
form large structures of great complexity and beauty. The gamelan angklung that we will
play was specially handcrafted in Bali for the College and was named Chandra Buana,
or “Moon Earth,” at its dedication on April 16, 2000, in Reisinger Concert Hall.
