[[Sjowaazheñ]] music is either monophonic or homophonic. Accompaniment, if present at all, is sparse and consists of only one voice (in addition to percussion). | |||
Sjowaazheñ | Some Sjowaazheñ instruments are the lute (''ya'ook''), the erhu (''shjhedgaañt''), the lyre (''biliiwid''), various end-blown flutes (''joweet' ''), the base drum (''khool'') and the woodblocks (''ghonyeeñ''). String instruments usually are unfretted but marked at perfect fourths. | ||

The Sjowaazheñ tradition takes a purely melodic, rather than harmonic, approach to tuning, unlike the [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin/Music#Talman_music|Talman]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond/Music|Bjeheondian]] traditions. Sjowaazheñ scales are traditionally based around tetrachords or pentachords which divide the perfect fourth into three or four intervals. Innovations over the years have led to finer divisions or "n-chords" of the perfect fourth in more "sophisticated" music. The general term for an n-chord in Sjowaazheñ is ''hañbaac'' (pl. ''hañbaacin''). | The Sjowaazheñ tradition takes a purely melodic, rather than harmonic, approach to tuning, unlike the [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin/Music#Talman_music|Talman]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond/Music|Bjeheondian]] traditions.
