The Euphonious Panicle

The Euphonious Panicle is a devotional form of music originating in The Reprobate of Blustering. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. The music is played on a digraxal, a uxagordalkom and a omox. The musical voices cover melody, harmony and rhythm. The entire performance is extremely fast, and it is to be moderately loud. The melody has short phrases throughout the form. It is performed using the gaxog scale. Throughout, when possible, performers are to use mordents, locally improvise and syncopate. From beginning to end, when improvising, artists should always include a rising-falling melody pattern with glides, often include a falling-rising melody pattern with flattened second degree on the rise as well as grace notes, sometimes include a falling melody pattern with grace notes, arpeggios and staccato and always include a rising melody pattern with rapid runs.

• The digraxal always does the main melody and should be vigorous.
• The uxagordalkom always should be merry. The voice uses its entire range from the raspy low register to the fragile high register.
• The omox always should feel heroic.
• The Euphonious Panicle has the following structure: an introduction and a brief passage.
• The introduction is voiced by the melody of the digraxal and the harmony of the uxagordalkom. This passage features only melodic tones and intervals. The passage is performed in the dosno rhythm.
• The simple passage is voiced by the melody of the digraxal, the rhythm of the uxagordalkom and the rhythm of the omox. Only one pitch is ever played at a time in this passage. The passage is performed in the orustrur rhythm.
• Scales are constructed from twenty-two notes dividing the octave. In quartertones, their spacing is roughly 1xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxO, where 1 is the tonic, O marks the octave and x marks other notes. The tonic note is fixed only at the time of performance.
• The gaxog heptatonic scale is constructed by selection of degrees from the fundamental scale. The degrees selected are the 1st, the 4th, the 5th, the 9th, the 14th, the 15th and the 19th.
• The dosno rhythm is a single line with thirty-two beats divided into four bars in a 8-9-11-4 pattern. The beat is stressed as follows:
• | - x x - - x - - | - - x - x x - - x | - - - x - x x x x - x | - - x x |
• where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
• The orustrur rhythm is a single line with eight beats divided into four bars in a 2-2-2-2 pattern. The beat is stressed as follows:
• | - x | x - | x - | x x |
• where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
