| Title means "safe, secure." This piece is played in pelog pathet barang by the musicians from the Ngudya Wirama gamelan group. This piece is a great example of polyphonic stratification. Different instruments elaborate the melody at different tempi. The vocal text used by the singer isn't specific to this piece, but a well-known verse fitted to many pieces. |

| "Kosalia Arini" modern gong kebyar style context? |
|
Definition
| Balinese gamelan is played often accompanying virtuosic dance. Kebyar means "flash" or "dazzle." There is a lot of shimmer due to weirdly tuned unison notes. Overall design of these pieces are not cyclic or rigidly binary like in Javanese gamelan. The pieces are like fantasias, or exuberant studies in contrast. |
