In CD 2:4, where in elapsed seconds, does the initial complete statement of the four-gongan melody of Bubaran Kembaran Pacar end? (Hint: the last beat of the initial statement of the balungan melody coincides with the punctuation by the gong ageng.)
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

 1:00
1:04 The second statement of the Main melody starts at 1:04.
What happens to the tempo at the end of the piece? Where in elapsed seconds does this tempo change start to occur?
 The tempo slows down at the end of the piece, starting at about 3:20.

Answer to Question 2

See if you can hear the patterns of repetition in the melody. Study the accompanying Close Listening guide of the demonstration track CD 2:4 in WOM, pp. 225 as you listen.
Follow the entrances of the different percussion instruments as they enter, creating punctuation layers and adding rhythmic texture to the music.
Note how the rhythmic texture becomes denser as each instrument enters and also note how all of the percussion parts are subdividing the gongan phrase into different units. Some of these subdivision units are short and close together, other subdivision units are longer and further apart. Yet all the punctuating percussion parts interlock together.
Notice that the rhythmic tension builds until it is resolved by the cyclic recurrence of a strong beat where several punctuating instruments coincide including the Gong, which marks the ends of all major phrases gong ageng.
