Avian music tends to emphasize harmony, rhythm and timbre much more than melody, which most in-universe sapient passerines consider a part of language instead. Much of avian music is based on chord-scale theory. In songs, the melody is considered part of the lyrics and is in the chord-scale the music is currently in (most passerine languages are tonal and some even require producing two notes at once). Avian music uses many kinds of inharmonic timbres (many more than human music) as well as harmonic ones. | Avian music tends to emphasize harmony, rhythm and timbre much more than melody, which most in-universe sapient passerines consider a part of language instead.
