Oriental riff
The Oriental riff, also known as the Asian riff, is a musical riff or phrase that has often been used in Western culture as a trope or stereotype of orientalism to represent the idea of the Orient, China, Japan or a generic East Asian theme. The riff is sometimes accompanied by the sound of a gong.
== History ==
The Oriental riff is a Western invention, dating back to the "Aladdin Quick Step" used in an ''Aladdin'' stage show, ''The Grand Chinese Spectacle of Aladdin or The Wonderful Lamp'', in 1847. The notes used in the riff are part of a pentatonic scale, giving the riff a resemblance to East Asian music in the Western mind. However, "while the 'Oriental riff' is associated with Asia, and usually China in particular, this generic exotic riff can sound characteristically Asian, Native American, or old English. It represents a nonspecific otherness."〔Berti, Jim and Bowman, Durrell (2011). ''Rush and Philosophy'', p.193. ISBN 978-0-8126-9716-2.〕
