Details
In McPhee’s description of the score, the core of the ensemble is a “‘nuclear gamelan’ composed of two pianos, celesta, xylophone, marimba, and glockenspiel,” giving it a highly percussive balance of sound. The orchestra is augmented by two Balinese gongs and cymbals.
Gong has also been performed by The Royal Ballet and Ballet West.
