  • The Orchestra in History
    Jeremy Montagu The Orchestra in History The Orchestra in History A Lecture Series given in the late 1980s Jeremy Montagu © Jeremy Montagu 2017 Contents 1 The beginnings 1 2 The High Baroque 17 3 The Brandenburg Concertos 35 4 The Great Change 49 5 The Classical Period — Mozart & Haydn 69 6 Beethoven and Schubert 87 7 Berlioz and Wagner 105 8 Modern Times — The Age Of The Dinosaurs 125 Bibliography 147 v 1 The beginnings It is difficult to say when the history of the orchestra begins, be- cause of the question: where does the orchestra start? And even, what is an orchestra? Does the Morley Consort Lessons count as an orchestra? What about Gabrieli with a couple of brass choirs, or even four brass choirs, belting it out at each other across the nave of San Marco? Or the vast resources of the Striggio etc Royal Wedding and the Florentine Intermedii, which seem to have included the original four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie, or at least a group of musicians popping out of the pastry. I’m not sure that any of these count as orchestras. The Morley Consort Lessons are a chamber group playing at home; Gabrieli’s lot wasn’t really an orchestra; The Royal Wed- dings and so forth were a lot of small groups, of the usual renais- sance sorts, playing in turn. Where I am inclined to start is with the first major opera, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. Even that tends to be the usual renaissance groups taking turn about, but they are all there in a coherent dra- matic structure, and they certainly add up to an orchestra.

  • Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire
    Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire by Peter Hurd; reorganized and amended by Holger Hoos, editor-in-chief since 2020 version 1.2 (21 March 2021) This collection is based on the catalogue of musical works requiring heckelphone or bass oboe instrumen- tation assembled by Peter Hurd beginning in 1998. For this new edition, the original version of the repertoire list has been edited for accuracy, completeness and consistency, and it has been extended with a number of newly discovered pieces. Some entries could not (yet) be rigorously verified for accuracy; these were included nonetheless, to provide leads for future investigation, but are marked clearly. Pieces were selected for inclusion based solely on the use of heckelphone, bass oboe or lupophone, without any attempt at assessing their artistic merit. Arrangements of pieces not originally intended for these instruments were included when there was clear evidence that they had found a significant audience. The authors gratefully acknowledge contributions by Michael Finkelman, Alain Girard, Thomas Hiniker, Robert Howe, Gunther Joppig, Georg Otto Klapproth, Mark Perchanok, Andrew Shreeves and Michael Sluman.

Hmong Music in Northern Vietnam: Identity, Tradition and Modernity Lonán Ó Briain May 2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music University of Sheffield © 2012 Lonán Ó Briain All Rights Reserved Abstract Hmong Music in Northern Vietnam: Identity, Tradition and Modernity Lonán Ó Briain While previous studies of Hmong music in Vietnam have focused solely on traditional music, this thesis aims to counteract those limited representations through an examination of multiple forms of music used by the Vietnamese-Hmong. My research shows that in contemporary Vietnam, the lives and musical activities of the Hmong are constantly changing, and their musical traditions are thoroughly integrated with and impacted by modernity. Presentational performances and high fidelity recordings are becoming more prominent in this cultural sphere, increasing numbers are turning to predominantly foreign- produced Hmong popular music, and elements of Hmong traditional music have been appropriated and reinvented as part of Vietnam’s national musical heritage and tourism industry. Depending on the context, these musics can be used to either support the political ideologies of the Party or enable individuals to resist them.

  • Oboe in Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 OboeinOxfordMusicOnline Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Oboe article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/40450 Oboe (Fr. hautbois ; Ger. Oboe ; It. oboe ). Generic term in the system of Hornbostel and Sachs for an aerophone with a double (concussion) reed (for detailed classification see AEROPHONE ). The name is taken from that of the principal treble double-reed instrument of Western art music (see §II below). I. General 1. Oboes. The AULOS of ancient Greece may sometimes have had a double reed, and some kind of reed aerophone was known in North Africa in pre-Islamic times. Instruments of the SURNĀY type became established with the spread of the Arab empire around the end of the first millennium CE; they were possibly a synthesis of types from Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria and Asia Minor. From there the instrument, then used in a military role, spread into conquered areas and areas of influence: to India, and later, under the Ottoman empire, to Europe (around the time of the fifth crusade, 1217–21; there may already have been bagpipes with double reeds there) and further into Asia (to China in the 14th century). As the instrument spread, it came to be made of local materials and fashioned according to local preferences in usage, shape and decoration: the ŚAHNĀĪ of north India has a flared brass bell; the SARUNAI of Sumatra has a palm leaf reed and a bell of wood or buffalo horn; the ALGAITA of West Africa is covered with leather and has four or five finger-holes.

  • A HISTORY of the OBOE from ANTIQUITY to 1750 Thies IS
    379 A HISTORY OF THE OBOE FROM ANTIQUITY TO 1750 THiES IS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS by Perry 0. Stephens, B. M. E. McKinney, Texas August, 1955 PEFACE The purpose of this study is to trace the development of the oboe and its use from the primitive double reed instruments to the oboes of the Baroque Period. Toward the end of this period the oboe became thoroughly established as an important section in the symphony orchestra and has remained so to the present time. The history of the oboe is not a clearly defined one since it dates from antiquity and has developed with other double reed instruments such as the bagpipe. There have been recent attempts to assimilate the per- formance of music of the Baroque and earlier periods. There- fore, the quality of the sound and the limitations of the instruments must be considered in order to achieve an accu- rate reproduction of the performance. It is in this area that this study should be of some benefit. The writer is primarily concerned with documentary references to the genesis of the oboe. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PRFACE.. .. ... iii LIST OF ILTTTiOK. * v LIST OF PLATES . vii Chapter I.

    2019/20 Spielzeitbuch 2019/20 Spielzeitbuch 3 VORWORT Verehrtes Publikum, geht es um die Grundfragen unserer Existenz, so unterschiedlich die Herangehensweisen in einer Welt, in der die Verkürzung von und Stilmittel der verschiedenen Komponisten Inhalten immer mehr zum bestimmenden auch sein mögen: Zeigt Verdis LA FORZA Merkmal unseres Umgangs miteinander DEL DESTINO eine Welt, in der das Verzeihen wird, markiert das Musiktheater einen unver­ keinen Platz hat, widmet sich Chaya Czernowin zichtbaren Gegenpol. Hier geht es nicht in HEART CHAMBER den Anziehungs­ um Vereinfachung, sondern darum, den und Abstoßungsenergien, die die Beziehung Dingen auf den Grund zu gehen. Zu fragen, zweier Menschen prägen. Spürt Britten in was Menschen zu ihrem Handeln treibt und seinem MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält, den Verwirrungen nach, die sich aus ist die Aufgabestellung, die sich als roter dem Ineinandergreifen von Trieb und Liebe Faden durch mehr als 400 Jahre Oper zieht ergeben, zeigt Tschaikowskij in seiner und Komponisten heute ebenso antreibt wie PIQUE DAME einen Außenseiter, dem der zu Zeiten Mozarts. Musiktheater, so wie Glaube an das Glück im Kartenspiel zum wir es verstehen, ist Sinnsuche, egal, ob ein einzigen Lebensinhalt geworden ist. Und Werk diese Fragen mit großen, die ganze sowohl der dänische Außenseiter­Komponist Gefühlswelt einer Figur offenbarenden Arien, Rued Langgaard, dessen einzige Oper mit der Entfesselung orchestraler Klang­ ANTIKRIST wir erstmalig in Berlin zeigen, gewalt oder durch das Aufzeigen von beunruhi­ wie auch Richard Wagner in seinem RING genden Leerstellen beantwortet. Um diese DES NIBELUNGEN waren von der Aufgabe erfüllen zu können, nimmt es sich Idee durchdrungen, der Menschheit durch Zeit und erreicht mit der emotionalen Kraft die Kunst den Weg hin zu einer besseren seiner musikalischen und dramatischen Mittel, Existenz zu zeigen.
