The morna (pronunciation in both Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole: (:ˈmɔɾnɐ)) is a music and dance genre from Cape Verde. Lyrics are usually in Cape Verdean Creole, and instrumentation often includes cavaquinho, clarinet, accordion, violin, piano and guitar. Morna is widely considered the national music of Cape Verde, as is the fado for Portugal, the tango for Argentina, the merengue for Dominican Republic, the rumba for Cuba, and so on. The best internationally known morna singer was Cesária Évora. Morna and other genres of Cape Verdean music are also played in Cape Verdean migrant communities abroad, especially in New England in the US, Portugal, the Netherlands, France, West Africa and parts of Latin America. == As a music genre == As a music genre, the morna is characterized by having a lento tempo, a 2-beat bar (sometimes 4)〔Brito, M., ''Breves Apontamentos sobre as Formas Musicais existentes em Cabo Verde'' — 1998〕 and in its most traditional form by having an harmonic structure based on a cycle of fifths,〔Martins, Vasco, ''Música Tradicional Cabo-verdiana Vol. I — A morna''〕 while the lyrics structure is organized by musical strophes that alternate with a refrain. The morna is almost always monotonic,〔Sousa, P.e J. M. de, ''Hora di Bai'' — Capeverdean American Federation, Boston, 1973〕 i.e., it is composed in just one tonality. Compositions that use more than one tonality are rare and generally they are cases of passing from a minor to major tonality or vice versa. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morna (music)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
