urSol

the Chanter

"Harmony is the sound that goodness makes."

UrSol the Chanter had two voices: one light and gentle for speech, one deep and resonate for song that could calm thunder or make waterfalls still. Music, he said, is the most ephemeral form of sculpture and therefore the most powerful. He wore his hair tied in a club; the knots it formed were varied for each chant and loosened at lesser conjunctions. He had the art to sing one note that made all the different stones of the valley tremble.

He is a fine musician who can sing a third row of harmony. His voice is loud and deep, sufficient enough to make the rocks vibrate.

He taught Jen about technique, which enables him to make a better, more considered contribution when playing music; but urSol had never taught him that music is revealed, not invented.

 

This is his Skeksis counterpart:
