		The Korean-born, U.S. resident komungo performer and composer Jin Hi Kim plays a custom-made electric komungo in addition to the regular instrument.

	Cycle of Sixty
		The traditional Korean instrument Komungo has both frets and moveable bridges.
		The sounds the instrument produces are determined both by the length of the strings (as is the case with guitar or violin) and by the unique playing technique.
		Because it is played by striking the string with a bamboo stick, the Komungo has a sound that is more percussive than that of other string instruments, which are plucked or bowed.

		Inspired by a passage from Exodus ("Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way..."), the composer states her intent as one of realizing her image of angels in sound.
		Unfortunately, the delicate sounds of the Komungo were completely drowned out by the orchestra for the first half of the piece, until the sound engineer fixed the microphone.
		During solos, where the orchestra was silent, the Komungo provided a plangent and appealing sound; once the amplification was corrected, its violent strums and arpeggios provided an unusual foil for the forte orchestral passages.
