  • 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).

  • Tuning In” Podcast Terminology
    H+H “TUNING IN” PODCAST TERMINOLOGY Alto A designation for a range of the human voice, between soprano and tenor. Both women and men perform in the alto range. Aria A song movement which features a soloist singing in a steady tempo (as opposed to the unmeasured, sung-speech style of the recitativ). In addition to the standard continuo accompaniment, an aria can call for a few additional instruments and sometimes even feature a solo instrument, such as the solo violin in “Erbarme dich”. Bass Used to describe a musical instrument and the lowest line of music, in this case it refers to a range of the human voice below tenor. Bass line The lowest written line of music, usually carried out by instruments such as cellos and double basses along with a doubling keyboard instrument such as the organ or harpsichord. In some instances, Bach composes a bass line for an instrument in a higher range, such as the oboe da caccia, but keeps the voice and other instrument or instruments above that range. Chorale A movement which typically features a four-part hymn supported by the orchestra such that the high-pitched instruments play the same line as the sopranos, mid-range instruments play the alto line, etc.; in a Lutheran service, chorale movements allowed the congregation to join in song. Continuo As in Basso Continuo, or “Continuous Bass.” Refers to the group of players who play the lowest line of the music, typically a keyboard instrument such as organ or harpsichord, sometimes a plucked instrument such as theorbo (bass lute), and a sustaining instrument such as the cello; bass instruments which provide the harmonic foundation throughout the entire Passion, even in solo vocal movements (for which the rest of the orchestra does not play).

    Sound Recording Reviews Wagner: Parsifal (excerpts). Berlin State Opera Chorus and Orchestra (a) Bayreuth Festival Chorus and Orchestra (b), cond. Karl Muck. Opal 837/8 (LP; mono). Prelude (a: December 11, 1927); Act 1-Transformation & Grail Scenes (b: July/ August, 1927); Act 2-Flower Maidens' Scene (b: July/August, 1927); Act 3 (a: with G. Pistor, C. Bronsgeest, L. Hofmann; slightly abridged; October 10-11and13-14, 1928). Karl Muck conducted Parsifal at every Bayreuth Festival from 1901 to 1930. His immediate predecessor was Franz Fischer, the Munich conductor who had alternated with Hermann Levi during the premiere season of 1882 under Wagner's own supervi­ sion. And Muck's retirement, soon after Cosima and Siegfried Wagner died, brought another changing of the guard; Wilhelm Furtwangler came to the Green Hill for the next festival, at which Parsifal was controversially assigned to Arturo Toscanini. It is difficult if not impossible to tell how far Muck's interpretation of Parsifal reflected traditions originating with Wagner himself. Muck's act-by-act timings from 1901 mostly fall within the range defined in 1882 by Levi and Fischer, but Act 1 was decidedly slower-1:56, compared with Levi's 1:47 and Fischer's 1:50. Muck's timing is closer to that of Felix Mottl, who had been a musical assistant in 1882, and of Hans Knappertsbusch in his first and slowest Bayreuth Parsifal. But in later summers Muck speeded up to the more "normal" timings of 1:50 and 1:47, and the extensive recordings he made in 1927-8, now republished by Opal, show that he could be not only "sehr langsam" but also "bewegt," according to the score's requirements.

These general models seem to be valid for all members of the family, yet the sound of a clarinet is distinguishable from the sound of a saxophone or an oboe. Though the conical bore of an oboe or a bassoon has a strong effect over the timbre difference, it doesn’t seem to be a sufficient explanation for the specific character of these double-reed instruments.

First an orchestral violinist, Pácal then studied voice with Gustav Walter in Vienna and sang as a chorister in Cologne, Bremen and Graz. In 1895 he became a member of the Vienna Hofoper and had a great success there in 1897 singing the small role of the Fisherman in Rossini’s William Tell. He then was promoted to leading roles and remained in Vienna through 1905. Unfor- tunately he and the Opera’s director, Gustav Mahler, didn’t get along, despite Pacal having instructed his son to kiss Mahler’s hand in public (behavior Mahler considered obsequious). Pacal stated that Mahler ruined his career, calling him “talentless” and “humiliating me in front of all the Opera personnel.” We don’t know what happened to invoke Mahler’s wrath but we do know that Pácal sent Mahler a letter in 1906, unsuccessfully begging for another chance. Leaving Vienna, Pácal then sang with the Prague National Opera, in Riga and finally in Posen. His rare records demonstate a fine voice with considerable ring in the upper register. -Internet sources 1858. 10” Blk. Wien G&T 43832 [891x-Do-2z]. FRÜHLINGSZEIT (Becker).

  • Instrument Descriptions
    RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it.

  • The Source Spectrum of Double-Reed Wood-Wind Instruments
    Dept. for Speech, Music and Hearing Quarterly Progress and Status Report The source spectrum of double-reed wood-wind instruments Fransson, F. journal: STL-QPSR volume: 8 number: 1 year: 1967 pages: 025-027 http://www.speech.kth.se/qpsr MUSICAL ACOUSTICS A. THE SOURCE SPECTRUM OF DOUBLE-REED WOOD-VIIND INSTRUMENTS F. Fransson Part 2. The Oboe and the Cor Anglais A synthetic source spectrum for the bassoon was derived in part 1 of the present work (STL-GPSR 4/1966, pp. 35-37). A synthesis of the source spectrum for two other representative members of the double-reed family is now attempted. Two oboes of different bores and one cor anglais were used in this experiment. Oboe No. 1 of the old system without marking, manufactured in Germany, has 13 keys; Oboe No. 2, manufactured in France and marked Gabart, is of the modern system; and the Cor Anglais No. 3 is of the old system with 13 keys and made by Bolland & Wienz in Hannover. Measurements A mean spectrogram for tones within one octave covering a frequen- cy range from 294 to 588 c/s was produced for the oboes by playing two scrics of tones. One serie was d4, e4, f4, g4, and a and the other 4 serie was g 4, a4, b4, c 5' and d5. Both series were blown slurred ascending and descending in rapid succession, recorded and combined to a rather inharmonic duet on one loop. The spectrograms are shown in Fig. 111-A- 1 whcre No. 1 displays the spectrogram for the old sys- tem German oboe and No.
