Traditional Wiobian music places much emphasis on melody, often having two melodic voices in counterpoint for high-class music, though more modern music often calls for more dense orchestration. (read: cobbled together from gamelan, Southeast Asian and Baroque influences. Some Korean stuff will probably get in too) The music is based on a scale with fifteen notes per octave, that is capable of both small movements in melody and harmonic shifts ranging from the subtle to the dramatic. A wealth of inharmonic instruments such as metallophones (Ɉürl-Zrong-Smiḥ), marimbas (Geim-Zrong-Smiḥ), cymbals and drums serve as ingredients for this sonic landscape. However also valued are harmonic instruments (such as stringed instruments e.g. the plucked or bowed zither-like ''Tünd'', the strummed and fretted ''Þaus-Bung'', and the bowed ''Nisch&Ker''; as well as fixed-pitch wind instruments; and last but not least the human voice), for their ability to imitate the human voice and to emphasize canonically harmonic intervals. | Traditional Wiobian music places much emphasis on melody, often having two melodic voices in counterpoint for high-class music, though more modern music often calls for more dense orchestration.
