It provided a place for melancholy and reflection, dark and deep thoughts, regret and musical solitude. In my research through the lament form I can connect my investigations throughout Jewish, Romanian, Albanian, Greek musics. Very few people know that I play the Highland bagpipes since I was a teen (I&#8217;ve got a beautiful instrument from Peter Henderson Ltd.). In Scottish music I&#8217;m especially into p\u00ecobaireachd music (also Pibroch or ce\u00f2l m\u00f2r). A \u201cclassical\u201d image of this is the solo pipes player facing the stormy sea or slowly walking and playing on the battlements of a castle.\u2028\u2028The Romanian Doina can be related to the lament form. B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k linked the Romanian doina to the Turkish\/Arabic Makam system. Until the first half of the 20th century, both l\u0103utari and klezmer musicians were recorded using a taksim as an introduction to a tune. The taksim would be later replaced by the doina, which has been described as being similar, though not totally identical to the taksim. The doina is a free-rhythm, highly ornamented (usually melismatic), improvisational tune. The improvisation is done on a more or less fixed pattern (usually a descending one), by stretching the notes in a rubato-like manner, according to the performer&#8217;s mood and imagination.<\/p>\n<p>A lament or lamentation is a passionate expression of grief, often in music, poetry, or song form. Laments constitute some of the oldest forms of writing, and examples exist across human cultures. In music, an elegy is rarely a funeral piece but a work of a darker and more somber nature. In the medieval period, an elegy was about death, but by the time of the Romantic period, the elegy had become a personal reflection upon death. \u2028If we go back to Laments, in post-medieval music, the lament came to be characterized by a falling bass pattern. This was first used by Monteverdi in his Lament of the Nymph, published in 1638. The young girl of the song is ruing the loss of her beloved, who has betrayed and left her. \u2028In poetry, laments are found in the earliest works, from the Illiad and the Odyssey to Beowulf. In the Bible\u2019s Old Testament, there are the Lamentations of Jeremiah.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Roberto Paci Dal\u00f2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visual and sound artist, composer, musician, director, researcher \u2013 his work has been presented in museums, theatres, festivals and biennials around the world.
