Rondalla

Japanese: rondalla
Rondalla

… [Ikebata Yukiura]
[Music, Dance]
In the center, where intermarriage and Christianization are prominent, European music is performed in its original form, and while retaining Spanish influences, new Philippine music and dance styles have been created. For example, the ensemble form known as "rondalla" supports gatherings where familiar melodies are sung in unison, parallel thirds, or part chorus, accompanied by guitar, mandolin, and fretted bass, and where people dress up in ballroom-style dance-like costumes and dance with patterned steps. In addition, Malay traditions such as the "candle dance" (where candles are placed on plates in the hands or on the head) and the "tingkling" bamboo dance (where long bamboo poles are beaten rhythmically, and the dancers dance acrobatic with regular steps to avoid getting their feet caught) have been arranged in a Western style and passed down.

From [Hota]

...But within that range, the rhythm is detailed and subtle. The ensemble that plays the jota, called the rondalla, is made up of the bandurria, the laúd (both of which are stringed instruments with a plectrum similar to a flat mandolin), and a guitar, and the male and female dancers in traditional costumes use castanets. Another characteristic of the dance is that the male dancers jump high in the air.

[音楽,舞踊]
 混血とキリスト教化が顕著な中心部では,ヨーロッパ音楽をそのままの形で演奏したり,スペイン的色彩を残しながらも新しいフィリピン様式と呼べる音楽と舞踊をつくりあげている。たとえば〈ロンダヤrondalla〉という合奏形態は,ギター,マンドリン,フレット付きベースを伴奏に,ユニゾン,3度平行,パート合唱による親しみやすい旋律をうたい,社交ダンス的に着飾りパターン化したステップで踊る集いの場を支えている。さらに,マレー系の伝統であった〈ろうそく踊〉(ろうそくを立てた皿を手や頭にのせる)や竹踊〈ティンクリンtingkling〉(長い竹の棒をリズミカルに打ち合わせ,踊り手は足をはさまれないように規則正しいステップでアクロバット的に踊る)などが,西洋的にアレンジされて受け継がれている。…

…しかし,その範囲内で節まわしはこまかく微妙である。ホタを演奏するロンダーリャrondallaと呼ばれる合奏団の構成はバンドゥリアbandurria,ラウードlaúd(以上いずれもフラット・マンドリンに似たプレクトラム使用の弦楽器),ギターなどにより,民族衣装をつけた男女の踊り手はカスタネットを用いる。男の踊り手が高くとび上がるのも特徴である。…
