fast it was when it was at the final part of the song. This is with exception to the
middle part of the song wherein it was sung in moderation (moderato).
The same few lines Pong Pong Guinapong... seem to be repeated over and
over again for the whole span of the song. Even if it reached the verse, there was
still an audible background singing the same few lines. Like the Lulay, the singers
complemented each other by the imitation of lines produced at successive intervals.
Thus, I think the texture of the music is polyphonic.
In terms of dynamics, I think it was getting stronger (crescendo) with added
monosyllable voice emphasis at the very end which by the way was, for me,
startlingly good. The melody or movement was ascending.

First of all, I think the tempo was Presto which means very fast then it
became Prestissimo which means very very fast. It kept maintaining that sort of
chasing scene. And her hand movements were very very fast as well. For a girl her

The song is monophonic because there is no accompaniment. It was just the
violin and nothing else.
The Musical Form of this song is in Sonata form / Ternary form. The moment
that the statement part transitioned to the fantasia part, I knew that it was going to be
a Sonata form. Just like how Marsalis explained it, the Fantasia sounded like
chasing a pet to the whole building of the mall.
The rhythm was exciting and jumpy. I enjoyed the performance. Overall, I
consider it as an intense piece.
