The Meandering Tone

The Meandering Tone is a form of music used during marches and military engagements originally devised by the groom of the gloom hag Avuz Moistenrims. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. A chanter recites nonsensical words and sounds. The entire performance should be delicate. The melody has long phrases throughout the form. Only one pitch is ever played at a time. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, performers are to modulate frequently.

• The chanter always does the main melody.
• The Meandering Tone has the following structure: an introduction and a passage.
• The introduction is at a walking pace, and it is to start loud then be immediately soft. The chanter's voice ranges from the middle register to the high register.
• The simple passage gradually slows as it comes to an end, and it is to become louder and louder. The chanter's voice ranges from the low register to the middle register.
