I chose this song because I liked hearing the santur in class. This song is 10 minutes long. It is a solo on the santur. There are no other instruments or voices. It looks like he’s playing on a stage in a large auditorium. He is sitting down and is dressed casually. He seems like he’s a professional on this instrument and has been playing for a long time. The song stays a pretty similar tempo all the way through. It looks like he is playing from memory. The purpose of this song seems to be for performance and other people’s enjoyment.
