Answer to Question 1

 Gendhing means gamelan piece or gamelan composition.

Answer to Question 2

 Javanese music is more closely related to other aspects of life than music in the concert-music-culture of the West (see Chapter 3). . . . presentations of the more traditional gamelan music are best understood as social events that involve gamelan music.
 as entertainment and for ritual purposes at important life events (weddings, births, and so on)
 to accompany dance or theater, for example, accompanying shadow puppet theater (wayang kulitsee Fig 7-7, WOM p. 323)
