What does pathet literally mean? How does the literal meaning of pathet relate to its musical meaning in gamelan music (use Worlds of Music, p. 355)
What will be an ideal response?
• Pathet literally means "limit."
• In the case of gamelan music it means placing limitations on the piece in question—which tones will be emphasized in the balungan melody, pitch level of other parts, the mood (for example, calm or agitated), or the time of performance during the day/night.
