The Euphoric Sparkle
The Euphoric Sparkle is a devotional form of music originally devised by the elf Amayi Braidmosses. The form guides musicians during improvised performances. A chanter recites any composition of The Profane Cysts while the music is played on a iqua. The musical voices are joined in melody. The melody has mid-length phrases throughout the form. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, performers are to modulate frequently and play arpeggios.
- The chanter always does the main melody.
- The iqua always does the main melody.
- The Euphoric Sparkle has a well-defined multi-passage structure: three unrelated passages, a bridge-passage and a finale.
- Each of the simple passages should be made with feeling and is very fast, and it is to be moderately soft. The chanter's voice ranges from the low register to the middle register and the iqua covers its entire range from the wavering low register to the dark high register. This passage features only melodic tones and intervals.
- The bridge-passage should feel mournful and is at a walking pace, and it is to start loud then be immediately soft. The chanter's voice covers its entire range and the iqua stays in the dark high register. Only one pitch is ever played at a time in this passage.
- The finale should feel playful and moves more quickly than the last passage, and it is to start loud then be immediately soft. The chanter's voice ranges from the middle register to the high register and the iqua covers its entire range from the wavering low register to the dark high register. This passage features only melodic tones and intervals.
