The Silky Aquamarine

The Silky Aquamarine is a form of music used during marches and military engagements originally devised by the goblin Nguslu Muddyhexes. The rules of the form are applied by composers to produce individual pieces of music which can be performed. The music is played on a thefira, a ethefa and a efiva. The musical voices cover melody, harmony and rhythm. The entire performance should be spirited, and it is to be soft. The melody has long phrases throughout the form. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, composers and performers are to syncopate, play arpeggios and play staccato.

• The thefira always does the main melody.
• The ethefa always provides the rhythm. The voice stays in the watery middle register.
• The efiva always does harmony.
• The Silky Aquamarine has the following structure: a theme and a series of variations on the theme possibly all repeated.
• The theme is at a hurried pace. Chords are packed close together in dense clusters in this passage. The passage should be composed and performed using glides.
• The series of variations is fast. This passage typically has some sparse chords. The passage should be composed and performed using glides.
