Free Concerts at the National Music Museum
By Elyse Brightman
The Plain Talk
The National Music Museum will be hosting musician Dr.
Will Peebles for a free live concert with his gamelan degung on
Friday at 12 noon in the Arne B. Larson Concert Hall.
Peebles is coming to the museum from Western Carolina
University in North Carolina where he is a music professor and
former dean of the school of music.
“(Peebles) will be bringing his set of gamelan instruments.
He’ll actually be traveling with a van full of instruments and
we’ll be having instruments on display in the middle of the
stage,” said Dr. Deborah Check Reeves, curator of education
and the curator of woodwind instruments at the National
Music Museum and director of NMM’s all-volunteer gamelan
ensemble, Tatag.
The gamelan is a percussion orchestra made up of bronze
type instruments played with a mallet. Bronze type instruments
are gongs, xylophones, pots and similar instruments.
More specifically, Peebles will be playing the gamelan degung traditional to the Western Java province of Indonesia.
“What makes his gamelan different than the one we have
(at the museum) is that his particular gamelan is from Western
Java, it is very much made in the Sudanese tradition,” Reeves
said.
The gamelan at the museum is made in Surakarta in Cen-

tral Java and comes from a different tradition than the western
part of the island.
“Think about the violin,” Reeves says. “We call it a violin
if it’s used for classical music but if it’s used for folk music
we call it the fiddle and yet it’s the same instrument, it’s just
a different way of playing and a different kind of music that’s
played on it.”
According to Reeves, the instrument from Western Java is

a smaller ensemble and requires less people to play. Peebles
will be joined by musicians from Vermillion’s own gamelan
ensemble.
“(Peebles) will be playing on one of the more elaborate
instruments, one that uses a lot of notes,” Reeves said. “Then
to fill in the other parts, it will be volunteers from our gamelan
ensemble based here at the museum so several different
people will be learning how to play gamelan degung in a
couple of hours.”
Anyone who has seen the museum’s gamelan ensemble
play will notice some similarities and differences between the
two instruments.
“At first look, the instruments are going to be similar,
they’re going to be bronze pots and bars of the xylophone type
instruments and they will rest on a wood frame but if you start
to look at them more carefully, you’ll start to see differences
in design,” Reeves said. “Some of the pot instruments will be
in a different configuration instead of just being a couple rows,
they will be in kind of a semi-circular shape.”
On May 1, the museum’s ensemble, Tatag, will hold a
concert with the gamelan from Central Java and concert goers
will have the chance to hear the differences in the two instruments.
“People have to realize it’s two different types of gamelan
and two different types of music. But they’ll be seeing some of
the same people,” Reeves said.
