Verse:Irta/Music

European Christian music

Same as in our timeline up to the First Remonitionist Reformation in the 15th c.

Should be heavily influenced by Buddhist cultures by the end of 2nd Remonition

So Bach (and our functional harmony?) isn't really a thing at all

Remonitionist music

An alternate evolution of our Renaissance music, becomes more meditative and chanting/intoned singing-based by 2nd Remonition.

Irta Baroque

A neo-medievalist movement, "what if Baroque used 17edo/17wt"

Baroque dance suites in 17edo which use Baroque dance rhythms but not our Baroque harmony

Todo: Cantillation tropes

Folk music

Tsarfati Jewish folk songs are known as טאָנאהאן donăthăn in Ăn Yidiș (singular טאָן don; cognate to Irish dán 'poem (among other meanings)'). They may be in Ăn Yidiș or in a macaronic mixture of Ăn Yidiș, Hebrew, and other languages. They have some traditional Hivantish and Irish elements but are unique. Like in our timeline, Hasidic Judaism is also an influence with its emphasis on dancing, devotion, and wordless melodies.

Instruments from Gaelic music:

• pib-ilăn - uilleann pipes
• fethăł (from in-universe OIr **fethal, from Early Romance *vitola) - fiddle
• cłorșăch - a version of the Celtic harp (If you say "Jew's harp" in Irta they'd likely think you mean this.)

Instruments from Hivantish music:

• șeyņăł - kantele

Modern cłorșăchăn are usually electro-acoustic.
