Verse:Hmøøh/Faadab Tseer/Ancient: Difference between revisions

Ancient Tseer music centered around poetry and rhythm. As such, poetic structure such as rhyme, meter, and narrative flow contributed to much of the rhythm and thus 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. Dances were accompanied by rhythmic percussion. Religious ceremonies used dances and incantations instead of music as such.

Plays were performed as a kind of pansori, accompanied by drums playing different rhythms based on mood and possibly with multiple characters on stage, sometimes even with Ancient Greek style choruses accompanied by regular drumbeats.
