Puppets

Puppets have been used for centuries

in Indonesia to tell the stories of the

ancient epics, the Ramayana and the

Mahabarata, as well as ancient myths.

Modern stories also utilize this ancient art

form for contemporary audiences.

Puppets fall

into two major

classifications,

wayang kulit

-

the leather or

shadow puppet

of Central Java,

and

wayang

golek

-wooden

puppets of West

Java. There are

several varieties

of wooden puppets. Some expatriats enjoy

collecting the same character by various

artisans, or all the characters in a scene

or story, or just characters that strike

their fancy. Good guys, bad guys, gods,

demons, nobles, giants, clowns, princes

and princesses and monkeys, all can be

found in traditional puppet forms. Less

Percussion Instruments

Percussion means striking. All

percussion instruments make musical

sounds when struck by the hands, by the

À

ngers, or by some suitable implement.

Bells and gongs, bars of wood or

metal, and even bowls and thin stones

make

À

ne percussion instruments. The

orchestras of Eastern people sometimes

have a wonderful variety of these and other

kinds of percussion instruments, including

drums of every size and shape. But in

Western symphony orchestra percussion

instruments are not very numerous. The

bowl-shaped kettledrums, or timpani, are

.almost always present. They give a clear,

de

À

nite note and a sonorous tone that can

be as soft or as loud as the player wishes.

Other types of drums may also be used.

Cymbals are brass plates that are

clashed or jangled together. The triangle

is a metal rod left open at the corner. The

xylophone is a row of wooden bars. The

glockenspiel has metal bars that sound

ringing and enchanting. It is often played

by a keyboard, called a celesta. Only the

kettledrums are regular percussion sections

of the orchestra in Western music.
