campana

Also known as bells

strumento musicale

AI overview

A bell is a percussion instrument made from a hollow cup-shaped object that produces sound when struck, either by an internal clapper, an external hammer, or a loose sphere inside it. Bells matter because their curved design creates an efficient resonator that vibrates to produce a strong, clear tone when struck.

... Idiophones Struck idiophones Idiophones struck directly Percussion idiophones Percussion vessels Bells Percussion vessels, owing to the solidity and elasticity of their substance, vibrate and radiate sound when struck either with non-sonorous objects (hand, stick, striker) or against non-sonorous objects. The vibration is weakest near the vertex of the struck surface. The player creates clearly defined individual strokes. (en)

La campana è una tipologia di strumento musicale, appartenente alla classe degli , definita come contenitori, suonati con un oggetto non sonoro, in cui la vibrazione è più debole vicino al vertice. Si differenziano dai gong, in cui invece la vibrazione è più forte vicino al vertice. Nelle campane da chiesa il suono è prodotto generalmente dalla percussione di un pendolo di ferro dolce detto batacchio (o battaglio) sulle pareti interne della campana stessa. Per quanto riguarda lo strumento occidentale è solitamente in bronzo, ed è utilizzato nel mondo cristiano per scandire il tempo dai campanili delle chiese e come richiamo per funzioni, ricorrenze ed eventi riguardanti la comunità; viene suonato dai campanari.
