Description:
Gending is a Balinese word meaning simply 'instrumental composition', and this work takes as its starting point the colours, textures, rhythmic pattens and formal procedures of Balinese music.
Gending is in five movements, and these relate to various forms of Balinese music ranging from the solemn ritualistic to secular theatrical and dance pieces. It was written in 1968.
