The Glittery Wonder
The Glittery Wonder is a form of music used during marches and military engagements originally devised by the elf Yonali Senseden. The rules of the form are applied by composers to produce individual pieces of music which can be performed. A singer recites any composition of The East Guilds while the music is played on three fetha and a niceci. The musical voices are joined in melody. The entire performance is to be moderately loud. The melody has short phrases throughout the form. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, composers and performers are to make trills, play rapid runs and alternate tension and repose.
- The singer always does the main melody.
- Each fetha always does the main melody. The voice stays in the watery high register.
- The niceci always does the main melody.
- The Glittery Wonder has the following structure: a verse and a chorus all repeated two times.
- The verse should be lively and is at a free tempo. The singer's voice stays in the middle register and each of the fetha stays in the watery high register. Only one pitch is ever played at a time in this passage.
- The chorus should feel heroic and gradually slows as it comes to an end. The singer's voice ranges from the middle register to the high register and each of the fetha stays in the watery high register. This passage is richly layered with full chords making use of the available range.
