| dbo:abstract | The rhaita or ghaita (Arabic: غيطة) is a double reed instrument from North Africa. It is nearly identical in construction to the Arabic mizmar and the Turkish zurna. The distinctive name owes to a medieval Gothic-Iberian influence. In southern Iberia, various sorts of wind instruments, including the related shawm, are known as gaitas, but in northern Iberia gaita refers only to bagpipes. The rhaita was featured in The Lord of the Rings soundtracks by Howard Shore, specifically in the Mordor theme. American composer John Corigliano calls one of the movements of his 1975 Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra "Rhaita Dance", asking the oboist to imitate a rhaita by pushing the reed further into his or her mouth. In 1981 while composing the soundtrack to Altered States Corigliano again called for oboists to mimic the rhaita sound during Three Hallucinations. (en) La rhaita o ghaita (in arabo: غيطة) è uno strumento a doppia ancia proveniente dal Nordafrica. È quasi identico nella costruzione al mizmar arabo ed allo zurna turco. Il nome distintivo si deve a un'influenza gotico-spagnola medievale. Nella Penisola iberica meridionale vari tipi di strumenti a fiato, tra cui il correlata shawm, sono noti come gaitas, ma nel nord della Penisola iberica si parla solo di zampogne. Il suono è forte e spettacolare. La rhaita è stata usata nelle colonne sonore della serie Il Signore degli Anelli di Howard Shore, in particolare nel tema di Mordor. Il compositore americano John Corigliano definisce uno dei movimenti del suo Concerto per Oboe e orchestra del 1975 "Rhaita Dance", chiedendo all'oboista di imitare una rhaita spingendo ulteriormente la canna nella bocca. Nel 1981, mentre componeva la colonna sonora di Stati di allucinazione, Corigliano chiese nuovamente agli oboisti di imitare il suono della rhaita durante Three Hallucinations. (it) |
