- Baris Melampahan
- All the instruments are percussion (you hit them) - march-like.
- Instruments come as a set and are 'sacred'. There are strict rules e.g. you cannot step over the instruments.
- Last beat of the bar is emphasised i.e. the 6 with a circle around it (circle means to be played on the Gong).
- Pelog scale - a 5 note scale. Pelog comes from the word pelag meaning 'fine' or 'beautiful;.
- Has a strong beat - 8 beats to a bar making it suitable to march to.
- Instruments made from types of metals - like warriors armour.
- Contrasting section (loud and quiet) e.g. loud angsel section and quiet 'usual tune' - could reflect high's and lows of war.
- Music would have been passed down from generation to generation - aural tradition
- The music has a set 'seqeuce' or order.
- Each instrument has its own very specific purpose e.g. the gong is to emphasise the end of each bar or section - could represent different roles of soldiers in war.
