  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

  • A New Species of Instrument: the Vented Trumpet in Context
    1 A NEW SPECIES OF INSTRUMENT: THE VENTED TRUMPET IN CONTEXT Robert Barclay Introduction The natural trumpet is the one instrument not yet fully revived for use in the performance of Baroque music. A handful of recordings are available and very rarely a concert featuring solo performances on the instrument is given, but to a great extent the idiosyncrasies of the natural harmonic series are still considered to be beyond reliability in the recording studio or in live performance. Most current players have taken to using machine-made instruments with as many as four fi nger-holes placed in their tubing near to pressure nodes, so that the so-called “out-of-tune harmonics” of the natural series (principally f’/f#’, and a” ) will not be unpleasant to modern sensitivity. The vented instruments that have resulted from this recent “invention of tradition” are often equipped with so many anachronistic features that the result is a trumpet which resembles its Baroque counterpart only superfi cially, whose playing technique is quite different, and whose timbre is far removed from that expected for Baroque music. Among publications that deal with the compromises made to natural instruments in modern practice, those of Tim Collins, Richard Seraphinoff, and Crispian Steele-Perkins deserve especial mention. Collins provides an excellent summary of the characteristics of the natural trumpet, and an analysis of the current state of playing of the instrument.1 Seraphinoff concentrates on the early horn, and discusses the pros and cons of the use of vent holes in so-called historical performances.2 Steele-Perkins summarizes the develop- ment of the modern Baroque trumpet and provides practical advice on the selection of instruments3 All three authors highlight the tension that has arisen within the fi eld of early brass performance.

  • Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
    NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays.

  • The Instrument of Royalty
    Chapter 1 The Instrument of Royalty In This Chapter ▶ Getting acquainted with the brass family ▶ Taking the first steps toward playing the trumpet ▶ Improving as a trumpeter ▶ Staying at the top of your game ings and queens have used the authority of the trumpet sound as part Kof their pageantry since the Egyptian pharaohs. That tradition con- tinues: The wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana was accompanied by a brilliant trumpet solo, and modern-day royalty and other dignitaries are invariably announced by trumpet fanfares. More than any other instrument, the trumpet has always had a mystique about it. Nothing against the clarinet or the flute, but neither of those instru- ments blew down the walls of Jericho or announced the end of all things, as in Handel’s Messiah. By learning to play the trumpet, you’ve decided to be part of a wonderful tradition. All in the Family — The BrassCOPYRIGHTED Family, That Is MATERIAL The trumpet is a member of the brass family, which shares a rich history and development. All members of the brass family have one thing in com- mon, besides being made mostly of brass: They’re all sounded by the buzz- ing of the lips. (That makes them part of an even larger family, the lip-reed instrument group.) Every brass instrument has a mouthpiece, usually detachable from the instru- ment, against which the lips buzz. It, too, is made of a brass alloy. The mouth- piece consists of a rim on which the lips rest, a cup into which the air is blown, and a throat, which is a narrow opening that streams the air into the instru- ment.

I will delve into different parts of the world and show how trumpet music plays a role in the production of ceremonies, within a society, the pageantry of ceremonies and the properties or war. In addition to this, I will discuss the trumpet's physical evolution and the development of its use in different musical genres. Because the trumpet has been around for thousands of years, it has become a diverse instrument, it has evolved into a different looking and sounding instrument, and has taken on a different relevance according to the culture in which it is used. I will discuss many aspects of the trumpet, from the music that it plays, to the societal significance of that music. I have concluded that the trumpet has a much greater impact on culture than is generally known, affecting almost every aspect of many cultures around the world throughout history.

  • Modern Horn Playing in Beethoven: an Exploration of Period Appropriate Techniques for the Orchestral Music of Beethoven for the Modern Horn Player
    Modern Horn Playing in Beethoven: An Exploration of Period Appropriate Techniques for the Orchestral Music of Beethoven for the Modern Horn Player Matthew John Anderson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Timothy Salzman, Chair David Rahbee Jeffrey Fair Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ©Copyright 2016 Matthew John Anderson I. Abstract The historically informed movement has made it increasingly apparent that orchestras can no longer interpret Beethoven, Mahler, Mozart, and Bach in exactly the same manner. It is now incumbent upon each member of the orchestra, as well as the conductor, to be aware of historic performance traditions in order to color the music with appropriate gestures. It is therefore important for horn players to explore the hand horn traditions of the baroque, classical, and early romantic periods in an effort to perform the correct inflections in a way that the composer might have expected the music to sound. As an example, in the second movement of the Beethoven’s third symphony, beginning in the second half of the eighteenth measure from the end of the movement and going into the next measure, the second horn goes from a concert middle C down a half step to a B natural. Original practice would cause the B natural to be ¾ covered which would have caused tension in the sound. Modern horns can just depress second valve to play the note giving a completely different color. The intention of this document is to inform current and future generations of hornists techniques to not only re-create sounds of the period on modern instruments, but also to create new pathways to learning repertoire through deconstructing the orchestral passages, creating new ways towards a complete understanding of the literature.
