Gong chime
A gong chime is a generic term for a set of small, high-pitched bossed
pi phat
. For this reason, such ensembles are sometimes called "gong chime ensembles" or "gong chime orchestras," and the broad variety of music "gong chime music."
Gong chimes typically are played either in a soloistic style, providing a virtuosic embellishing role, or providing a rhythmic role, for example, in a
colotomic structure.[1]
The term may also be used to refer to hand-held tuned gongs played in high rhythmic density, such as the older Indonesian-Balinese reyong, and gangsa, and also some ensembles of minorities within the mountainous interior of Vietnam.[1]
