termcat.cat Institut d'Estudis Catalans - Diec2 charivari - wikipedia Charivari (or shivaree or chivaree) or Skimmington (or skimmington ride; England) (German: Katzenmusik) are terms for a folk custom in which the community gives a noisy, discordant mock serenade, frequently with pounding on pots and pans, also known as rough music. The loud, public ritual evolved to a form of social coercion, for instance, to force an as-yet-unmarried couple to wed. This type of social custom arose independently in many rural village societies, for instance in France, England, Italy, Wales and Germany, where it was part of the web of social practices by which the small communities enforced their standards. The community used noisemaking and parades to demonstrate disapproval, most commonly of disapproved marriages and remarriages, such as a union between an older widower and much younger woman, or the too early remarriage by a widow or widower. Members of a village would decide on a meeting place where everyone could plan what was to be done. Regional variations[edit]
