This book is a wide-ranging study of the varieties of gamelan music
in contemporary Java seen from a regional perspective. While the
focus of most studies of Javanese music has been limited to the
court-derived music of Surakarta and Yogyakarta, Sutton goes beyond
them to consider also gamelan music of Banyumas, Semarang and east
Java as separate regional traditions with distinctive repertoires,
styles and techniques of performance and conceptions about music.
Sutton's description of these traditions, illustrated with numerous
musical examples in Javanese cipher notation, is based on extensive
field experience in these areas and is informed by the criteria
that Javanese musicians judge to be most important in
distinguishing them.
