Question

Haydn’s 82nd symphony earned its nickname by imitating a form of this instrument associated with dancing bears. Gavottes (“guh-VOTS”) may be extended with a section named after a type of this instrument called the musette. The Galician gaita (20[1])is one of these instruments, (20[1])another type of which may play pibroch (“PEEB-ruck”) tunes (20[1])and was once classified as a weapon of war. (20[2])It’s not an oboe, but a “pastoral (20[1])symphony” from Handel’s Messiah was inspired by Italian shepherds (20[1])who played this instrument, (20[2])called (*) pifferari. (10[2])Covering the chanter’s holes changes (10[1])the pitch of this instrument, (10[1])which has three drones and (10[1])a blowstick (10[2])in its (10[1])“Great (10[2])Highland” (10[1])type. (10[6])For 10 points, name this woodwind instrument with an inflated sack that is popular in Scotland. ■END■ (10[10])
