Talk:Old Albic music

Thanks for this Jörg! Are the carans single or double reeded? I assume the caranar is like a regal and has single reeds, or am I wrong there? (If so, a lovely, raucous sounding instrument, in my opinion!) Have you worked out any scales or modes? Is the music monophonic or polyphonic, etc.? Since the siphilir almost certainly has whistle-like pipes (much like an organ's pipes *here*), is the siphil a recorder or flageolet like instrument? I notice you explicitly leave out the "brass" instruments -- horns, cornetts, trumpets, busines and the like -- is that intentional? Do the Elves have no tradition of such instruments?

As for vocal music, do they have any place for very high male voices (counter tenor) or very low male voices (basso profondo)?

Have you tried writing or recording any Elvish music? Even some nice folk melody? Elemtilas 12:01, 21 November 2012 (PST)

Thank you for your appreciation! The carans are double-reeded, I think, but I am not sure yet. The music is polyphonic or homophonic. What regards the brass instruments, they are indeed missing; I think the Elves have them. The whole page is very much work in progress, and I am putting up more stuff as I find out. They may have counter tenors and basso profondo. The scales and tunings are also still unexplored. What regards writing Elvish music, I haven't written any yet.
