Absolutely loved this. Now go find some fun music performed on gamelan!

That was really beautiful. Such an excellent adaption of the music, instantly recognizable once she got to the main theme but entirely her own take on the song.

Moyun also came up in another topic, and I see that since then she has earned a YouTube award. In that video she described herself as an “amateur,” and some of the comments on YouTube discuss whether that’s too strict of an interpretation. I’m inclined to think if you cover Pachelbel’s Canon with 4 of your instrument, you’re a pro at it.

As a bit of an aside, this is not just beautifully played, it is also beautifully recorded. What a treat!

I’m reminded of the old Folk Music Center store in Claremont CA near the Pomona Colleges. The FMC walls and open spaces were filled with instruments, including some Japanese kotos, rather like (but simpler than) the zither in this posting. I managed to learn to somewhat play the Stones’ SATISFACTION on koto. But nobody should be subjected to that. 8-(
