How is a gendhing named? (See margin note in WOM, p. 224 and description on p.227) and to what do the different parts of the title of CD 2:4 refer?
What will be an ideal response?
• Javanese gendhing normally have three parts to their titles, the formal structure, the melody, and the scale system.
• Bubaran refers to the formal structure of the piece; in this case, bubaran means sixteen beats per major phrase, four kenong beats per major phrase. (The kenong is the largest of the kettle gongs.)
• "Kembang Pacar" (a kind of red flower) is the name of a particular melody.
• pélog is the scale system used in the modal category of pathet nem.
