The ''xeremia'' ((:ʃəɾəˈmi.ə), plural ''xeremies'') is a type of bagpipe native to the island of Majorca (''Mallorca'').〔 *〕 It consists of a bag made of skin (or modern synthetic materials), known as a ''sac'' or ''sarró'' which retains the air, a blowpipe (''bufador''), a melody pipe or chanter (''grall''), and several, generally three, drones (''bordons''). The primary drone (''roncó'') sounds a tonic note, but the other drones are sometimes simply false drones for ornamentation. The ''xeremia'' has a distinctively bright and piercing sound, which has traditionally accompanied festivals and other activities in the islands throughout history. ==Name== The name ''xeremia'' is of French origin. The Old French word ''chalemie'' over time became ''charemie''. This is related to the influence of Occitania during the Kingdom of Aragon, as Catalan was quite strong from the year 531 to approximately 1131, as the Occitan cultural centre expanded through the means of minstrels and bards, throughout the territory that would later be known as Catalonia.〔 The instrument's name may be used in the singular or in the plural and has several variants, depending on the location. In Ibiza the instrument exists only without a bag, but is called also Xeremia. In the Balearic Islands it is called ''xeremia'', ''xirimia'', ''xeremies'' o ''xirimies'' while in Catalonia it is known as ''sac de gemecs''. 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「Xeremia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
