A Javanese gamelan ensemble is primarily composed of percussion instruments and features metallophones (metal xylophones) and knobbed gongs. Gamelan performances often emphasize the collective nature of music, with individual parts combining to form a complex whole. This gamelan music is performed on one of the 18 gamelan sets belonging to the sultan, who resides at the Palace of Yogyakarta, on the island of Java.
