@g-k-machine any chance you recall what this number is?

"SETLIST

1. Qiroah pak Yaser 1
Qiroah (recitation of the Quran) is a common practice in Islamic communities. While officially not belonging to music, Arab reciters make use of various Maqamat (specific tonal material). When Islam arrived in Java, Javanese adapted the practice of Qiroah by using the Javanese pelog scale. Nowadays this tradition has almost become extinct, replaced by common imitations of the original Arab style. I made this recording in 2020 with Muhammad Yaser Arafat (pak Yaser), an Indonesian scholar who learned the old-school Qiroah Jawa by himself and who even wrote his thesis about this. Thanks to Gerrit who put my attention on the rare Bantul azan in pelog, thanks to Rusdyha who helped me finding Bapak Yaser and, of course, thanks to Pak Yaser himself.

2. Gamelan Monggang
Gamelan Monggang is an archaic set of instruments from around the 13. century. The tuning of the instruments consist of only 3 pitches and there is only one composition which can be played on the set. It is only played at the most important rituals in the central Javanese palaces like Royal weddings, funerals: or Islamic festivals (for instance the celebrations of Ramadan). This recording is from the CD “Original Javanese Music: Gamelan Music, Vol. 3 (Gending-Gending Klenengan)”, an Indonesian production.
[See “The Functions and Values of Gamelan of the Yogyakarta Palace” from Yuan Hsin Tung]

3. Macapat 1 (Maskumambang Pelog Nem)
Macapt is a classical Javanese form, basically the recitation of a poem. While a Macapt doesn’t have an obvious Islamic function, Pak Yaser explicitly mentioned Macapt as a strong influence on the Javanese style Qiroah. This recording is from the CD “Gamelan of Central Java - 18 Solo Music”, recorded by John Noise Manis.

4. Gamelan Sekaten 1 (Gendhing Glendheng)
Gamelan Sekaten are also archaic Gamelans. They have been created around the 16/17 century. Javanese only play on them once per year: at the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. This recording is from the CD “Gamelan of Central Java - 26 Sekaten Continuum Surakarta”, played by musicians from Keraton (palace) Surakarta, recorded by John Noise Manis.

5. Qiroah pak Yaser 2
(see above)

6. Gendhing bonangan Dhenggung Turulare pelog nem
A “Gending bonangan” is a typical form in Javanese Gamelan music which can be played on mostly any modern Javanese common-practice Gamelan. They belong to the “loud” style of the repertoire which omits all soft instruments. While not directly having a connection to Islam, their relationship towards Gamelan Sekaten could be understood as the inverse relationship Qiroah Java - Macapt, since they are basically a modern version of the old loud style Gamelan Sekaten. This recording is from the CD “Gamelan of Central Java - 33 Court Music Gems”, played by musicians from ISI (conservatory) Surakarta, recorded by John Noise Manis.
