spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/8145 The symbolic significance of the ghaita as used in Moroccan Sufism Paterson, Hilary Bruinders, Sylvia Performance and Dissertation Includes bibliographical references (leaves 68-71). ...a serendipitous discovery of the Aissawa Order of Morocco ... lead me to become interested in the music of Morocco and particularly the use of oboes by the people of that country. I had already heard recordings of the Master Musicians of Jajouka, another Moroccan group who uses oboes, but saw that this group is already very well documented, and hoped that a study of the Aissawa would be more interesting because of their relative obscurity. They are a particularly interesting group because they are one of the few Sufi Orders that use the ghaita in their spiritual ceremonies (even though it is used widely as a secular ceremonial instrument), and this fact tempted me to explore the importance of the instrument to the group. 2014-10-06T11:31:59Z 2014-10-06T11:31:59Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MMus http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8145 eng application/pdf College of Music Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
