The Gamelan Sekaten (or Sekati) is a ceremonial gamelan (musical ensemble) from central Java, Indonesia, played during the annual Sekaten festival. The word "sekaten" itself is derived from syahadatain or shahada, the first requirement for converting into Islamic faith. Traditionally it is played once per year, on the occasion of Mawlid, Muhammad's birthday, for the week from the 6-12 of the month of Mulud (the third month of the Javanese calendar, corresponding to the Islamic Rabi' al-awwal). On this celebration it is brought from the palace at 11 pm to two pavilions before the Great Mosque. It is played every day during that week except the Thursday night/Friday morning. On the eve of the birthday proper, it is returned at 11 pm.

  • El gamelan Sekaten (o Sekati) és un conjunt de gamelan cerimonial de Java central, interpretat durant el festival anual Sekaten. La paraula "sekaten" deriva de syahadatain (o shahada), el primer requeriment per a convertir-se a l'islam. Es toca un cop a l'any, coincidint amb el Mawlid, l'aniversari de Mahoma, que correspon a la setmana que va del 6 al 12 del mes de Mulud (el tercer mes del , que a la vegada, correspon al Rabí al-àwwal islàmic). Durant la celebració, aquest gamelan es treu del palau a les 11 de la nit, i es col·loca sota dos pavellons situats davant la Gran Mesquita. Allà s'hi interpreta música tots els dies de la setmana, exceptuant la nit del dijous i el matí del divendres següent. El vespre del dia de l'aniversari pròpiament dit es torna a guardar el conjunt a les onze de la nit. Es creu que el conjunt va ser creat pel primer príncep musulmà de Java o per un dels , amb l'objectiu de convertir a la fe islàmica a javanesos reticents. No obstant, és molt probable que ja existís des d'abans i que la música s'emprés per propagar la fe. Des del punt de vista estilístic, el conjunt Sekaten és fort i majestuós, ja que ha d'atraure a la gent a la mesquita. Tradicionalment es deia que, si l'intèrpret del saron era capaç de tocar tant fort com per trencar una de les làmines de bronze, rebria una recompensa del sultà. El gamelan Sekaten no inclou ni cantants ni els instruments de timbre més suau, a diferència de la majoria de conjunts Javanesos. Els conjunts es guarden als palaus reials. Hi ha dos conjunts datats del segle xvi que es conserven dins els de Surakarta i Yogyakarta, i dos més a Cirebon, un d'ells a Keraron Kasepuhan i l'altre a Keraton Kanoman. Anteriorment també se'n trobaven a Madura i a Banten. Els conjunts de Yogyakarta tenen els noms de Kyai Guntur Madu i Kyai Naga Wilaga, els de Surakarta, Kyai Guntur Madu and Kyai Guntur Sari. Segons , el gamelan Sekaten existeix dividit en meitats, cadascuna de les quals es troba en una de les dues corts rivals a Surakarta i Yogyakarta, sent una la complementària de l'altra. El gamelan Sekaten està afinat segons el sistema pelog, però és més greu que els conjunts estàndard d'avui en dia. Benjamin Brinner afirma que, d'entre tots els conjunts de Java, el Sekaten és el més gran, sorollós i greu. Recentment, el gamelan de l' (ISI), a Surakarta, va encarregar la construcció d'un conjunt Sekaten que fos compatible amb altres gamelans, amb l'objectiu d'interpretar composicions experimentals. Històricament, el conjunt Sekaten va jugar un rol notable en el desenvolupament del gamelan perquè va marcar un canvi d'ús del bonang, passant de ser l'instrument melòdic més important, com ho és en els conjunts Munggang i , a guiar el conjunt, tot tocant les notes en patrons anticipatoris. Al conjunt, els intèrprets se situen a ambdós costats del bonang, fet que pot haver determinat la configuració actual de les olles, que té per principal objectiu facilitar l'execució de les octaves.

  • The Gamelan Sekaten (or Sekati) is a ceremonial gamelan (musical ensemble) from central Java, Indonesia, played during the annual Sekaten festival. The word "sekaten" itself is derived from syahadatain or shahada, the first requirement for converting into Islamic faith. Traditionally it is played once per year, on the occasion of Mawlid, Muhammad's birthday, for the week from the 6-12 of the month of Mulud (the third month of the Javanese calendar, corresponding to the Islamic Rabi' al-awwal). On this celebration it is brought from the palace at 11 pm to two pavilions before the Great Mosque. It is played every day during that week except the Thursday night/Friday morning. On the eve of the birthday proper, it is returned at 11 pm. The ensemble is said to have been created by Java's first Muslim prince, or one of the Wali Sanga, in order to convert reluctant Javanese to the Islamic faith. However, it almost certainly already existed, though the music was probably used to propagate the faith. The style of the Sekaten ensemble is very loud and majestic, because it seeks to attract people to the mosque. It was said that if a saron player was able to play so hard that he broke one of the bronze keys, he would get a reward from the sultan. The gamelan sekaten includes neither singers nor the soft instruments, unlike most Javanese ensembles. The ensembles are kept in the royal palaces. Two sets dating to the 16th century are found in each of the kraton in Surakarta and Yogyakarta, and two in Cirebon, one at Keraton Kasepuhan and one at Keraton Kanoman. Previously they were found in Madura and Banten as well. The names of the sets at Yogyakarta are Kyai Guntur Madu and Kyai Naga Wilaga; those at Surakarta are Kyai Guntur Madu and Kyai Guntur Sari. According to Benjamin Brinner, the gamelan sekaten, exists in halves: divided between the two rival courts in Surakarta and Yogyakorta, each court had a matching second half made. The pitches of the Sekaten ensemble is in pelog, but lower than standard ensembles today. According to Benjamin Brinner it is the lowest pitched, largest, and loudest ensemble in Java. In recent times the gamelan at commissioned a special Sekaten set that would be compatible with their other gamelan, to be used in new experimental compositions. Historically, the Sekaten ensemble is notable in the development of the gamelan because it marked the change from the use of the bonang as the most important melody instrument, as it is in the earlier Munggang and ensembles, to "leading" the ensemble by playing the pitches in anticipating patterns. In the ensemble, players sit on opposite sides of the bonang, which may have led to the modern configuration of pots, which is aimed at making octaves comfortable. (en)
