“Tempo” is a term used to refer to the speed of a musical piece. Tempo - He’s a cursed creature who needs to get a kill every 16 beats or he dies. Playing her is more stressful to me than playing Aria and I’m not joking. She is named after the nursery rhyme “Mary had a little lamb”. Mary - She has a little lamb (little lamb, little lamb) We love this energy though, Coda is my gender now. I honestly thought Coda was gender neutral or masc this entire time, I only saw her referred to as “she” on her wiki page and have never heard it in any gameplay or speedruns in my life. The dorian mode is a minor mode (which are usually said to be sad and gloomy) with a major sixth interval (which is said to add a small amount of optimism), commonly used in jazz and blues.Ĭoda - Creature of unknown origin most difficult character the achievement “Impossible, Right?” is gained when beating all zones with her.Ĭoda refers to the concluding segment in a musical piece, reflecting her status as the game’s final character.Ĭoda is also Italian for the word “tail”, which is emphasized by her holding her dagger with her tail in her character portrait. This rules for spoiler reasons! Beat Melody’s story!įrom the Roman name Octavianus, which was derived from the name Octavius, derived from Latin octavus meaning "eighth”ĭoves are symbols of peace and also songbirds.ĭorian - Cadence’s father, Melody’s husband, Eli’s brother.

The octave relationship is a natural phenomenon that has been referred to as the “basic miracle of music,” the use of which is “common in most musical systems." The interval between the first and second harmonics of the harmonic series is an octave. Octavian (Bard) - his wiki page is all spoilers please don’t look him upĪn Octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double its frequency. This fits her role as the character assigned to player 2 when there are multiple players. Other playable characters that are unlocked as you progress and have names with music themes or connotations.Ĭhoral - Choral is the name of the colorswap sprite for Cadence.Ĭhoral is named after choral music, which is music written to be performed by an ensemble of multiple singers (called a choir or chorale). Prequel story added in the Amplified DLC.Ī nocturne is a single-movement piece themed around the night, usually written for solo piano, and bats are a nocturnal animal, being mostly active at night. In a more literal sense, aria is the Italian word for air, a possible reference to Aria being killed in one hit by anything, as if she could be killed by so much as a strong breeze. The only run more difficult is Coda, who has all of that and moves at double time.) (Within the game, Aria dies on hit, dies on a missed beat, and can only use the default dagger. In music, an aria is a self-contained piece for a single voice, possibly a reference to either Aria’s sheer independence and determination or the fact that she may only use a single weapon, her dagger.įurthermore, arias are specifically written to be difficult to perform, in order to provide expert concert singers with an opportunity to truly demonstrate their skill. Act 2 of the story.Ī melody, from the greek word melōidía, meaning singing or chanting, is a linear sequence of notes that are the main focus of music.Īria - Melody’s mother, Cadence’s grandmother. Cadence became cursed by the NecroDancer after he revived her from a lethal fall into the crypt. In a more literal sense, the word cadence comes from the Latin word cadentia, which means “a falling”. This may be related to how, in the game’s story, Cadence is searching for her own resolution as to what happened to her father, Dorian. In music, a cadence is a progression of chords that ends a phrase, section, or composition (harmonic cadence) or a rhythmic pattern that indicates the end of a phrase (rhythmic cadence), with the purpose of creating a feeling of resolution.


I tried my best to redact spoilers for the game past the first 2 cutscenes of the story.Ĭadence - the default character. I used the entries from each character’s “trivia” section on their wikia to fill out the name description and fill in when needed.

Mod Viktor here! I’ve been playing a lot of Crypt of the Necrodancer recently and I’m obsessed with the music-themed names! I’ve been feeling a little guilty about this blog not having any content as-of-late, so I’ve decided to make a list of names in COTN! They all have music meanings or associations, so these names will be listed again in our main Music Theme list when it’s made in the future. Music Themed Names from “Crypt of the Necrodancer”
