Translation - Indonesian Bahasa Indonesia
Awalnya, alat musik instrumen gamelan dibuat berdasarkan relief yang ada dalam Candi Borobudur pada
abad ke-8. Dalam relief di candi tersebut, terdapat beberapa alat musik yang terdiri dari kendang, suling
bambu, kecapi, dawai yang digesek dan dipetik, serta lonceng.
Sejak itu, alat musik tersebut dijadikan sebagai alat musik dalam alunan musik gamelan jawa. Alat musik
yang terdapat di relief Candi Borobudur tersebut digunakan untuk memainkan gamelan. Pada masa
pengaruh budaya Hindu-Budha berkembang di Kerajaan Majapahit, gamelan diperkenalkan pada
masyarakat Jawa di Kerajaan Majapahit.
Konon, menurut kepercayaan orang Jawa, gamelan itu sendiri diciptakan oleh Sang Hyang Guru Era Saka,
sebagai dewa yang dulu menguasai seluruh tanah Jawa. Sang dewa inilah yang menciptakan alat musik
gong, yang digunakan untuk memanggil para dewa.
Alunan musik gamelan jawa di daerah Jawa sendiri disebut karawitan. Karawitan adalah istilah yang
digunakan untuk menyebutkan alunan musik gamelan yang halus. Seni karawitan yang menggunakan
instrumen gamelan terdapat pada seni tari dan seni suara khas Jawa, yaitu sebagai berikut.
1. Seni suara terdiri dari sinden, bawa, gerong, sendon, dan celuk.
2. Seni pedalangan terdiri dari wayang kulit, wayang golek, wayang gedog, wayang klithik,
wayang beber, wayang suluh, dan wayang wahyu.
3. Seni tari terdiri dari tari srimpi, bedayan, golek, wireng, dan tari pethilan.
Seni gamelan Jawa tidak hanya dimainkan untuk mengiringi seni suara, seni tari, dan atraksi wayang. Saat
diadakan acara resmi kerajaan di keraton, digunakan alunan musik gamelan sebagai pengiring. Terutama,
jika ada anggota keraton yang melangsungkan pernikahan tradisi Jawa. Masyarakat Jawa pun
menggunakan alunan musik gamelan ketika mengadakan resepsi pernikahan.

Bio
I graduated from Gajayana University majoring in faculty of letter. I got my first job as a call center officer in a pay tv media and I handle both of customer in Bahasa or English. I worked as a call center officer for two years. Then, I joined in a manufacturer company which boss is from Taiwan and he is only able to speak English. As the time passing, I became his translator who have duties to translate to him directly in a conversation or a written document.
Now, I have resigned from that company and started to become full time freelance translator. I really enjoy to translate everything and my favorite topic is about Javanese culture. The reason is because I live in Central Java - Indonesia which becomes the source of the art and culture of Javanese.
