The gamelan anklung is an orchestra of Indonesian percussion instruments (metallophones) tuned in pairings with one slightly higher and one slightly lower than nominal pitch, which creates a beautiful shimmering effect. "Gineman" is a traditional piece for gamelan anklung beginning with an improvisatory introduction, followed by the melody in strict time and ends with a rapid, rhythmically interlocking section called the kotekan.

Ave Maria
By Gustav Holst
Performed by the TWU Concert Choir
