Rhaita
The rhaita or ghaita (Arabic: غيطة) is a double reed instrument from West North Africa, specifically Morocco, Algeria and Mauritania.It is nearly identical in construction to the Arabic mizmar and the Turkish zurna.The rhaita was featured in The Lord of the Rings soundtracks by Howard Shore, specifically in the Mordor theme.American composer John Corigliano calls one of the movements of his 1975 Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra "Rhaita Dance", asking the oboist to imitate a rhaita by pushing the reed further into his or her mouth.In 1981 while composing the soundtrack to Altered States Corigliano again called for oboists to mimic the rhaita sound during Three Hallucinations.
