The trigram for Sah Jang is 2 broken lines over a solid one. The spirit of this poomsae is thunder and it should be performed with power, and dignity. It begins with the sound of actual thunder, to establish the mood. It was composed as a darker theme, in a minor key, but one of strength. Lots of perfect octave repetitions play the simple melody, while a rich pulsing background gives it a solid, strong foundation. 49 seconds.
