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, p. 104.). . . . 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, Worlds of Music p. 343).

Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
