Like a lot of the composition of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (or at least the first quarter of the game that I have played), the format is pretty similar for the three areas you explore on your way to a temple. Link land, you wander through a forested/mountainous/desert area solving puzzles here and there before you reach a similarly themed temple. Each area has its own music as does the temple. Lanayru Desert is the third area you visit of (at least?) the first three and unlike the previous two, has a couple of themes due to Link interacting with time stones (not those) which can create pockets of the past. While in these pockets, the theme changes to give an additional cue that the player is in a different time. It is the original music though that I really noticed.
I think I just really like the flute instrument (what type of flute I could not tell you) and the simplicity of the melody. There is a combined beauty and longing that comes across, probably because this is not a fast bolero from the Gerudo Valley although it is ever so slightly reminiscent of the music from Ocarina of Time's Spirit Temple (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi69ucEpv38) in its feeling of desolation. That is pretty much it
