ANSWER:
Answers will vary.
• Melodies are based on five-note (pentatonic) scales, with the same melody played simultaneously at different pitch levels. giving a distinctive, rich quality to the music.
• Individual pitches are distributed to different panpipe players, so that one performer (or group) is resting while another is playing the next part of the melody; a procedure known as hocketing.
• The k'antu "Kutirimunapaq" is in three sections. with each section repeated in addition to the entire cycle being repeated two times. The sectional repetition extends the piece to accommodate the continuous dancing that goes along with the music.
