Sonokoma is the name of the last song of eleven songs which make up the court ritual ceremony called Kagura. The text of this short song simply says, 'let us feed our horse,' and the title sonokoma is taken from the first word of the text, meaning 'that horse.' The piece is performed twice, the first time in a slower tempo called Sandobyoshi, and the second time in a faster tempo called Age-byoshi. In the latter, the piece is danced by a dancer dressed in the costume of an ancient civil bureaucrat.
