Instruments

The Lõisian string orchestra has a much wider variety of instruments than our timeline's common-practice orchestra; it's comparable to Carleen Hutchins's Violin Octet. It's made up of the following instruments:

  • pochette (þe poczte, þí poczten); tuned a fourth above our violin
  • violin (þe fiþlín); slightly larger than our violin and tuned the same or a whole step below (F-C-G-D)
  • viola (þe altfiþel); tuned like our viola
  • tenor violin (þe fiþel or þe tienerfiþel); tuned a fourth or fifth below the viola
  • violoncello (þe boriefiþel); tuned an octave below the viola
  • bass (þe básfiþel); tuned an octave below the tenor violin
  • contrabass (þe jetenfiþel); tuned an octave below the cello
  • subcontrabass (þe risьfiþel); tuned two octaves below the tenor violin
  • mega-bass (þe þurьzefiþel); tuned two octaves below the cello

Forms

  • þe klózel = discant clausula; contrapuntal piece based on a melismatic passage in a chant
  • þí siúfnie = symphony
  • þe lióþer = solo sonata with accompaniment; instrumental equivalent of the Lied
  • þe briótstúcz = piece in variation form
  • þí fancie = fantasy
  • þe vurdiel / þí trópe = a vocal equivalent of the klózle, as in some medieval motets
  • þí opre = opera
  • þe lióþ = Lied; art song
  • þe valterь = waltz
  • þe miéniel = minuet
  • þe czake = chaconne
  • þí mazurke = mazurka
