The Adoration of Sparkles
The Adoration of Sparkles is a form of music used for entertainment originally devised by the elf Ruyava Beigeplain. 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 corowa. The melody has short phrases throughout the form. It is performed without preference for a scale and in free rhythm. Throughout, when possible, composers and performers are to use grace notes, use mordents, alternate tension and repose and play arpeggios.
- The corowa always does the main melody, should evoke tears and is to fade into silence.
- The Adoration of Sparkles has a well-defined multi-passage structure: an introduction, three to four brief unrelated passages and a coda.
- The introduction is moderately fast. The corowa ranges from the muddy middle register to the rippling high register. This passage is richly layered with full chords making use of the available range.
- Each of the simple passages is consistently slowing. The corowa ranges from the raspy low register to the muddy middle register. This passage typically has some sparse chords.
- The coda is extremely fast. The corowa ranges from the muddy middle register to the rippling high register. This passage features only melodic tones and intervals.
