vibraphone

Japanese: ビブラフォン
vibraphone
A type of idiophone, played with two sticks held in each hand. It is also called a vibraphone or vibe for short. A rich, vibrato-infused reverberation is produced by rotating an electric fan under each sound plate and attaching a resonator underneath it, which gives it its name. It can sustain a sound longer than a normal glockenspiel or marimba, and the pitch and quality can be subtly changed, creating a unique expression not found in conventional melodic percussion instruments. Since its invention in the United States in 1916, it has been widely used in dance music and jazz, with masters such as L. Hampton appearing. In the classical genre, it was pioneered in Berg's opera Lulu (1935), and there are also magnificent examples of its use in Boulez's Le Marteau sans maître.

Japanese:
体鳴楽器。鉄琴の一種で,両手に持った桴(ばち)で演奏。バイブラフォン,略してバイブともいう。各音板の下に電動ファンを回転させ,その下に共鳴管をつけることによってビブラートのついた豊かな余韻が得られ,名称もビブラートに由来。通常の鉄琴やマリンバより長く音を持続でき,音高や音質も微妙に変化させられるため,従来の旋律打楽器にない特有の表情が生まれる。1916年に米国で考案されて以来ダンス音楽やジャズで盛んに使われ,L.ハンプトンらの名手が登場。クラシック系統でもベルクのオペラ《ルル》(1935年)などを先駆に,ブーレーズの《ル・マルトー・サン・メートル》などの見事な用例が知られている。
