The Fuchsia Petal

The Fuchsia Petal is a form of music used for entertainment originally devised by the elf Bilalo Tressedray. The rules of the form are applied by composers to produce individual pieces of music which can be performed. A singer recites the words of Scoop Turquoise while the music is played on a thimire. The musical voices bring melody with harmony. The entire performance is to become softer and softer. The melody has short phrases throughout the form. Never more than an interval sounds at once. It is performed using the aweme scale and in the cenopu rhythm. Throughout, when possible, composers and performers are to alternate tension and repose.

• The singer always does harmony and should be vigorous.
• The thimire always does the main melody and should be spirited.
• The Fuchsia Petal has the following structure: a brief introduction and a brief passage.
• The introduction is fast. The thimire covers its entire range from the wispy low register to the muddy high register and the singer's voice stays in the high register.
• The simple passage is at a hurried pace. The thimire ranges from the warm middle register to the muddy high register and the singer's voice ranges from the low register to the middle register.
• Scales are conceived of as two chords built using a division of the perfect fourth interval into eight notes. The tonic note is a fixed tone passed from teacher to student. After a scale is constructed, the root note of chords are named. The names are aratha (spoken ar) and imeri (im).
• As always, the aweme hexatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named eyo and datha.
• The eyo trichord is the 1st, the 5th and the 8th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
• The datha tetrachord is the 1st, the 3rd, the 5th and the 8th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.
• The cenopu rhythm is a single line with two beats. The beat is stressed as follows:
• | x x |
• where x is a beat and | indicates a bar.
