The Jammy Kumquat-Limes

The Jammy Kumquat-limes is a form of music used for entertainment originating in The Banded Funnel. The rules of the form are applied by composers to produce individual pieces of music which can be performed. A chanter recites any composition of The Capybara-Person of Saturating. The entire performance is extremely fast. The melody has short phrases throughout the form. Only one pitch is ever played at a time. It is performed using the rekom scale and in the ozlomig rhythm. Throughout, when possible, composers and performers are to play arpeggios and play legato.

• The chanter always does the main melody and should perform with feeling.
• The Jammy Kumquat-limes has a well-defined multi-passage structure: a chorus and a brief verse all repeated one to two times, a bridge-passage and a lengthy verse and a chorus.
• The first chorus is to be loud. The chanter's voice ranges from the middle register to the high register.
• The first verse is to be very loud. The chanter's voice covers its entire range.
• The bridge-passage is to be loud. The chanter's voice covers its entire range. The passage should be composed and performed using glides and rapid runs.
• The second verse is to become louder and louder. The chanter's voice ranges from the middle register to the high register. The passage should be composed and performed using rapid runs.
• The second chorus is to be very loud. The chanter's voice stays in the low register.
• Scales are constructed from twelve notes spaced evenly throughout the octave. The tonic note is a fixed tone passed from teacher to student. Every note is named. The names are tamosh (spoken ta), muzlom (mu), ozol (oz), mer (me), zulal (zu), kistek (ki), lesul (le), sak (sa), odulimozsen (od), nebulursed (ne), rokul (ro) and elomamar (el).
• The rekom pentatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords spanning a tritone and a perfect fourth. These chords are named kekorith and tinos.
• The kekorith trichord is the 1st, the 5th and the 7th degrees of the semitone octave scale.
• The tinos trichord is the 8th, the 9th and the 13th (completing the octave) degrees of the semitone octave scale.
• The ozlomig rhythm is a single line with three beats. The beats are named comthad (spoken co), tigir (ti) and erith (er). The beat is stressed as follows:
• | - x x |
• where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
