Question

A composition for violin and orchestra supposedly inspired by this ethnic group’s music opens “G, up to C, D, long E-flat, (15[1])D, turn (15[1])on D, C.” A soprano of this ethnicity is symbolized by a “fate motif” beginning with fortissimo tremolo D-A double-stops on strings. A sustained trill on low E accompanies a ballet scene in which a woman of this ethnicity exorcizes the ghost of her dead husband (-5[1])in a “Ritual (*) Fire Dance.” (-5[1])A high-register aragonaise begins a fantasy on an operatic woman of this ethnicity by Pablo de Sarasate that quotes her seguidilla. A ballet about these people, El amor brujo, is by a composer who repopularized an Andalusian genre of these people characterized by guitar and clapping. For 10 points, Carmen is a member of what itinerant ethnic group that developed flamenco music? (10[2])■END■

ANSWER: Romani [prompt on Gypsy by asking “that term is considered a slur, what is the group’s endonym?”] (The first line refers to Pablo de Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen.)
