Classical Tseezh music

Ancient Tseezh music was described in terms of poetry. Singing was just the same thing as reciting poetry, or a stylized way to recite poetry. For dance they just had rhythmic percussion. Religious ceremonies used dances and incantations instead of music as such

Tuning

Classical Tseezh music was Aristoxenean, i.e. it had no fixed tuning system. Melodies were based on the contours of speech.
