Music

Ancient Tseer music centered around poetry and rhythm. As such, poetic structure such as rhyme and meter, and narrative structure, contributed to much of the "music". For the ancient Tseer, singing was merely a stylized way to recite poetry, and as such more emphasis was placed on literary merit, diction and delivery. For dance they just had rhythmic percussion. Religious ceremonies used dances and incantations instead of music as such.

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

Plays were basically a kind of pansori, accompanied by drums playing different rhythms based on mood and possibly with multiple characters on stage, complete with an Ancient Greek style chorus.
