Long Mora and Final Korvai

The Long Mora is a reductive composition that signals the end of the solo.
A typical Long Mora would have the structure:
A, A', A, B
A, A', A, B
A, A', A, B/2
A, B/2
A, Mora (2B in duration)
This Long Mora fits this pattern, with the unusual feature of alternating on each beat between
Khanda Gati and Tisra Gati (5 and 6 subdivisions per beat).

The Final Korvai, in Tisra Gati, is played three times,
with variations of the Mora on each repetition.
At the ending of the Korvai, the vocalist enters to resume the song.
