The Wax of Lilacs
The Wax of Lilacs is a devotional form of music directed toward the worship of Aditha Hailedbeaches the Glacial originally devised by the elf Yarare Drunkenecho. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. A singer recites any composition of The Sheen of Sweetness while the music is played on a thimire. The music is melody and rhythm without harmony. The entire performance is to be very soft. The melody has short phrases throughout the form. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, performers are to use mordents, play staccato and play legato.
- The singer always should be broad.
- The thimire always should bring a sense of motion. The voice ranges from the wispy low register to the warm middle register.
- The Wax of Lilacs has the following structure: a theme and a brief series of variations on the theme possibly all repeated.
- The theme is voiced by the melody of the thimire and the rhythm of the singer. The passage is at a free tempo. The thimire ranges from the wispy low register to the warm middle register and the singer's voice ranges from the middle register to the high register. This passage features only melodic tones and intervals.
- The series of variations is voiced by the melody of the singer. The passage is half the tempo of the last passage. The singer's voice ranges from the low register to the middle register. Only one pitch is ever played at a time in this passage.
