UrSol The Chanter
The Dark Crystal | Character
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.
The puppet was donated to the Smithsonian - "urSol the Chanter is part of the urRu, or Mystic, race which are slow-moving, peaceful creatures." (See links.)
