The Angklung, Kulintang and Gamelan full chromatic set orchestra are all originally come from Siglap Secondary School which the name unfortunately, is erased ever it since merge with Coral Secondary School. School name and History is not preserved. I am an ex-siglapian and I Don't understand why the government allow certain well-known school like Yusof Ishak Secondary School to stay while Siglap Secondary School to leave. Both have Rich history but it appears that Siglap Secondary School is less.... valuable? Of course we understood the merging importance but it is reprehensible to allow one rich historic school to stay and neglecting the other. But Anyway, amazing Performance by Meridian SS. I only hope that this music and art will be passed on to younger generations in the future.

Keren... Harmonisasi melodi dari gamelannya sangat bagus. Baru sadar kalau gamelan yang dimainkan bernada diatonis. Awesome 👍👍👍 Salam dari Indonesia

I loved this. Thank u for sharing it

[@yutikamariana64]

turut bangga gamelan bisa menggaung di luar negeri.. biar lebih menantang... harusnya membawakan lagu klasik dari daerah gamelan itu berasal.. agar tidak menghilangkan ciri khasnya.. satu pertanyaan buat mereka... apakah mereka juga paham nada slendro dan pelog??.. kalau tidak di ajarkan sama saja hanya memakai baju tanpa mengenal si pembuatnya... salam seniman dari Jawa...

[@salmadama8]

Di video selanjutnya membawakan lagu manyar sewu kak 👍

Isin aq dadi wong jawa rabisa nabuh gamelan

[@abbasayub5685]

it sounds diatonic scale to my ears, not the original pentatonic gamelan

[@6s6k]

Abbas Ayub yup this isn't the Pelog or Slendro Gamelan. This is Chromatic Gamelan.

Gamelan diatonik. Timbre instrumen gamelan namun bernuansa diatonik. Tak jadi masalah yang penting instrumennya dibeli dari produsen gamelan Indonesia.
