The play opened with the singers and two instrumentalists, the rebec and recorder players, and the others grouped inside the entrance at the back of the nave. |
Flamenco owes its existence to the Moorish invaders in the 8th century who not only brought their music to the region but also the rebec, the spiritual ancestor of the guitar. |
The four members play harp, lute, gittern, recorder, pipes plus vielle and rebec and are joined by the female vocal trio Voice. |
The rebec was played with a bow, probably of wood and horsehair. |
This rebab is an exact counterpart of the rebec formerly popular in Western Europe. |
Bonnivet, during his investment of Milan, had posted Bayard with a small corps in the village of rebec. |
