The development of traditional Fortunan music as it is known today began during the Marenian Era, and the rise of the Norvians allowed for the Aspirian Isles to further develop a unique identity entering into the Common Era. Different Fortunan groups created their own distinct instruments and styles, however percussion instruments such as drums and gongs are the most popularly used on the isles. A commonly seen practice is framing small drums or gongs in order of pitch, oftenly played by one to two musicians. These mainly serve in a rythmic role in large performances, although it's not uncommon for use in solo performances. Two-headed drums are commonly played in performances within the Aspirian Isles with different groups having their own distinct drum designs and unique way of playing such as the use of hands or sticks. Fortunan flutes serve as the main wind instruments used on the isles, varying in sizes to produce different pitches and are typically end blown. String instruments are less commonly used for traditional music, and more modern instruments would only begin seeing use as the islands further developed in the 19th century and into the 20th century. |
