Music in Urcea: Difference between revisions

"{{wp|Irish music|Traditional music}}", called "river music" in other countries, is a genre of folk music that developed in [[Urcea]]. As opposed to other forms of Urcean music, it is thought that traditional music descends from Urcea's [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] roots as opposed to other, supposedly [[Latinic people|Latinic]] forms of music. Within earlier kinds of traditional music there were at least ten instruments in general use. These were a small and a large harp, the timpan (a small string instrument played with a bow or plectrum), the fife, the flute, a bassoon-type horn, hornpipes, bagpipes, a kind of trumpet, and bones. Modern traditional bands often employ accordions, fiddles, acoustic guitars, electric bass guitars, and other instruments, though modern traditional music is differentiated from many other forms of Urcean popular music by its lack of a full drum kit. Traditional music often employs more overtly nationalist or patriotic lyrics than other genres. Though its songs are widely known as classics it does not have a strong contemporary media presence.
