Although it concludes tonight's concert, this medley of pieces is one of several that is used as the overture to an allnight wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performance. The progression from larger to smaller musical forms creates a sense of increasing urgency. By the end of the overture, the melodic material is reduced to repeated notes, with very little elaboration.
