Does this include non-Western "noble" music (e.g. Chinese court music)?

There are many forms of music that have been new and innovative but
aren't classified as pop (e.g. glitch).

If I were to Lojbanize "symphony", I would say "simfoni", which would
more easily be recognized by speakers of non-Western languages such as
Indonesian (simfoni) and Japanese (シンフォニー | shinfonii).

I might also suggest "simtoga" as a pseudo-lujvo fu'ivla from "simxu
tonga", which would be a semantic approximation of how "symphony" is
translated into Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc.

I would prefer "zgigi'a" (zgike-gidva) (in fact, "conduct" is one of
the gloss words of "gidva").
