Zitat von ToadyA form of music used to commemorate important events originating in The Winter of Focus. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. A singer recites the words of a (name of poetic form here) while the music is played on a rire. The entire performance is at a hurried pace, and it is to be very loud. It is performed using the yaniye scale. Throughout, when possible, performers are to use grace notes, locally improvise and alternate tension and repose.
The singer always does the main melody and should stress the rhythm.
The rire always does the main melody, should be spirited, uses mordents and modulates frequently.
The form has the following structure: a brief passage and a brief finale.
The simple passage is performed in the lari rhythm. The passage should always include a falling-rising melody pattern and always include a falling melody pattern.
The finale is performed in free rhythm. The passage should often include a falling-rising melody pattern with flattened third degree on the fall, sometimes include a rising melody pattern with sharpened fourth degree as well as grace notes, sometimes include a falling melody pattern with grace notes and sometimes include a rising-falling melody pattern with grace notes.
Scales are conceived of as two chords built using a division of the perfect fourth interval into eleven notes. The tonic note is a fixed tone passed from teacher to student.
As always, the yaniye heptatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named aro and datha.
The aro tetrachord is the 1st, the 3rd, the 9th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
The datha tetrachord is the 1st, the 4th, the 8th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
The lari rhythm is a single line with four beats. The beat is stressed as follows:
| - x x x |
where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
