  • 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).

  • The Pros and Cons of Choosing Vienna Horn in a Symphony Orchestra
    The Pros and Cons of choosing Vienna horn in a Symphony Orchestra [22.05.2017.] [Austris Apenis (1523633Z)] [KM] ArtEZ University of the Arts Supervisor: [Marjolijn van Roon] THE PROS AND CONS OF CHOOSING VIENNA HORN IN A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 2 Preface There is a tendency in the horn sections in symphony orchestras now-a-days that the new auditionees are allowed to play on instruments only from certain manufacturers. There are not so many of them that are accepted among professional horn players and the difference in sound is not very large. A particular example are the orchestras in Vienna, especially Vienna Philharmonics and Vienna State Opera. Following a long tradition the horn sections play only Vienna horn. The sound and build of these instruments is very different than that of the modern horns. My research is, what are the pros and cons of choosing Vienna horn in a symphony orchestra? And what kind of benefit would it bring to the symphony orchestra if the horn sections play Vienna horn? In this research I have interviewed horn players and horn manufacturers from Austria, Germany and Great Britain and come to some stunning conclusions and revelations about the connection between the build of the horn and the technique to play it, the past experimentations of bettering Vienna horn designs and the growing popularity of the Vienna horn around the world. I thank all the horn players and manufacturers, Wolfgang Vladar, Dave Claessen, Engelbert Schmid, Andreas Jungwirth, Tim Barrett, Rob van de Laar, Stefan Blonk and Rene Pagen, who supported my research and were very enthusiastic in answering my questions and providing me with essential information about Vienna horn, its history, construction, playing technique and the differences between Vienna, modern double and natural horns! THE PROS AND CONS OF CHOOSING VIENNA HORN IN A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 3 Abstract This research is about finding out what are the pros and cons of choosing Vienna horn to play in a symphony orchestra.

Consequently current research efforts often seem to operate in the manner of archaeologi- cal excavations; at times it is only as one layer is painstakingly uncovered that the configurations of another are revealed. This was certainly the experience of this contribution, which began as an investigation into late fifteenth-century Italian instrumental prac- tices. The early phases of the Italian study involved sifting through many archival documents, and one initial miscellaneous impression was that German players frequently appeared in Italian ensembles. Pursuit of this almost casual observation led first to an awareness that German presence in Italy was substantial, then, further, to the fact that the oltramontanidominated aspects of instrumental music.

Since very little material has been presented concerning the history of the trombone, it is hoped that the illustrations and explana- tions contained herein will be a contribution toward a repre- sentation of music from different composers and periods. The music covered gives a picture of the use of the trombone from the Renaissance through to the beginning of the Romantic Period. The results of this study are presented in three main sections: (1) The history of the trombone in the Renais- sance; (2) The history of the trombone in the Baroque; (3) The history of the trombone in the Classical Period, and up to the time of Schubert. In the first section, the trombone is described in its original form and illustrations show its use in the music of the Renaissance. The use of the trombone in the Baroque era, and its place in the various forms of sacred and secular music are presented in the second section. The third section is concerned mainly with the further development of the trombone in orchestral literature, iii culminating with the introduction and establishment of the instrument in the symphony.

  • Soprano Cornet
    SOPRANO CORNET: THE HIDDEN GEM OF THE TRUMPET FAMILY by YANBIN CHEN (Under the Direction of Brandon Craswell) ABSTRACT The E-flat soprano cornet has served an indispensable role in the British brass band; it is commonly considered to be “the hottest seat in the band.”1 Compared to its popularity in Britain and Europe, the soprano cornet is not as familiar to players in North America or other parts of world. This document aims to offer young players who are interested in playing the soprano cornet in a brass band a more complete view of the instrument through the research of its historical roots, its artistic role in the brass band, important solo repertoire, famous players, approach to the instrument, and equipment choices. The existing written material regarding the soprano cornet is relatively limited in comparison to other instruments in the trumpet family. Research for this document largely relies on established online resources, as well as journals, books about the history of the brass band, and questionnaires completed by famous soprano cornet players, prestigious brass band conductors, and composers. 1 Joseph Parisi, Personal Communication, Email with Yanbin Chen, April 15, 2019. In light of the increased interest in the brass band in North America, especially at the collegiate level, I hope this project will encourage more players to appreciate and experience this hidden gem of the trumpet family.

    Homer Rodeheaver: Reverend Trombone Douglas Yeo Historic Brass Society Journal (peer-reviewed) Volume 27, 2015 The Historic Brass Society Journal (ISSN1045-4616) is published annually by the Historic Brass Society, Inc. 148 W. 23rd Street, #5F New York, NY 10011 USA YEO 1 Homer Rodeheaver: Reverend Trombone Douglas Yeo Introduction Since his death in 1955, Homer Rodeheaver (1880–1955) has slipped into obscurity, an astonishing fact given that he played the trombone for as many as 100 million people in his lifetime. While not nearly so accomplished as the great trombone soloists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries such as Arthur Pryor, Simone Mantia, and Leo Zimmerman, Rodeheaver’s use of the trombone in Christian evangelistic meetings—par- ticularly during the years (1910–30) when he was song leader for William Ashley “Billy” Sunday—had an impact on American religious and secular culture that continues today. Rodeheaver’s tree of influence includes many other trombone-playing evangelists and song leaders, including Clifford Barrows, song leader for the evangelistic crusades1 of William Franklin “Billy” Graham. While Homer Rodeheaver was one of the most successful publishers of Christian songbooks and hymnals of the modern era—he owned copyrights to many of the most popular gospel2 songs of the first half of the twentieth century—and was the owner of and a recording artist with one of the first record companies devoted primarily to Christian music, the focus of this article is on Rodeheaver as trombonist and trombone icon, his use of the trombone as a tool in leading large congregations in singing, the particular instruments he used, his trombone recordings, and his legacy and influence in inspiring and encouraging others to utilize the trombone as a tool for large-scale Christian evangelism.
