Ann, thanks for reminding me to name that tune. Actually, six “tunes”: the Háry János Suite, which I know that you like, and which I have come to like greatly. It portrays an elderly veteran reminiscing rather untruthfully about his gigantic role in repelling and defeating Napoleon I. The ballet videos are striking; the music might be an acquired taste, but I favor the movements which spotlight the santouri-cimbalom. The best of these instruments feature pedals for extra control. There is documentation of Babylonian dulcimers that are early examples.
For those who are interested, here is movement 5 of the Suite from a video made in Utah by an orchestra conducted by Maurice Abravanel. It remains the best I have found.

And for santouri, heck, there’s so much to select from. Maybe:
