Music Homework

You might include the overall effect/intention of each (for example, the difference between ramé and alus), or group instrumentation, playing techniques (and implements) and instrument sound qualities, the ensemble's set-up, performance occasions and locations, the use/non-use of improvisation, etc. What similarities are there between the two?
OR: Describe how kotekan interlocking works - what are the names of its basic parts, and how do they fit together?
