メキシコのアンサンブル(楽団)の一形態。もともとはハリスコ地方の民俗的アンサンブルであったが、現在ではメキシコを代表するポピュラー音楽のアンサンブルになっている。マリアッチという名称は、しばしば婚礼mariage(フランス語)などに呼ばれて演奏していたことに由来するといわれている。現在の標準的な編成は、トランペット2~4、バイオリン3~5、ギター類各種(スパニッシュ・ギター、五弦小型ギターのビウエラ、六弦大型ギターのギタロンなど)3~5である。これに声楽がつくことも多い。トランペットの輝かしい音色、バイオリンの奏でる甘美な旋律、ギター類の刻む細かいリズムに特色がある。 [田井竜一] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
