Non-lexical vocables, which may be mixed with meaningful text, are a form of nonsense syllable used in a wide variety of music. A common English example would be "la la la". ==Traditional music== Non-lexical vocables are used in Yodeling, Blackfoot music and other Native American music, Pygmy music, the music of the Maldives, Irish Music, and Highland Scots music. Vocables frequently act as formal markers, indicating the beginning and end of phrases, sections or songs themselves,〔Heth, cited in 〕 and also as onomatopoeic references, cueing devices, and other purposes.〔("Native North Americans in Canada" ), ''The Canadian Encyclopedia Historica: Encyclopedia of Music in Canada''. Accessed 01/23/07.〕 The Blackfoot, like other Plains Indians, use the consonants ''h'', ''y'', ''w'', and vowels. They avoid ''n'', ''c'' (''ts'') and other consonants. ''i'' and ''e'' tend slightly to be higher pitches, ''a'', ''o'', and ''u'' lower ones.〔Nettl, Bruno (1989). ''Blackfoot Musical Thought: Comparative Perspectives'', p.71. Ohio: The Kent State University Press. ISBN 0-87338-370-2.〕 The AIM Song has its origins in the Plains; as such, it holds similar characteristics to Blackfoot song. It is intended as an intertribal song, so the use of non-lexical vocables prevents bias to one particular language. Other traditional musical forms employing non-lexical vocables include: * Canntaireachd (ancient Scottish practice of noting music with a combination of definite syllables for ease of recollection and transmission) * Eefing (Appalachian vocal technique similar to beatboxing) * Puirt à beul (traditional Scottish and Irish song form that sometimes employs nonsense syllables) * Nigun in Jewish religious music * Joik or luohti (improvised Sami chant employing nonsense syllables and few or no lyrics) 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「Non-lexical vocables in music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
