There are three Gending Gambir Sawit I had been listening. The first one is from Riris Raras, the second is from Gamelan Nyai Saraswati and the last one is from Karawitan Ngesti Budhojo.
On Nyai Saraswati version, Suling accompanies Rebab and Gambang playing pathetan that set feeling before Gending begin. I like this Gending in a way it plays bonangan. Bonang has become dominating elaborating instrument in this piece as oppose to Riris Raras version. In ciblonan (Javanese term for sound you heared when you play your hand on top of water) , bonang player plays interlocking and intermittent style, ornamenting the Gending.
Gambang cengkok in Nyai version seems tend to complement bonangan while on Riris Raras version more independent. But, sure, both versions are played beautifully.
On Riris Raras , the bawa - solo male vocal - at the beginning of gending is stronger and "manteb".
On Karawitan Ngesti Budhojo, I heard siteran more elaborating the Gending then Gambang.
