  • 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).

  • Introducing the Harmonica Box Concertina
    Introducing The Harmonica, Button Box and Anglo Concertina The harmonica, the Anglo concertina and the button accordion are three instruments that operate on a similar blow/draw or push/pull principle. This means, in theory at least, that if you can get your mind around the way one of them works then moving on to another will be familiar, even relatively painless. So if you can rattle out a tune on the mouth organ you should at least have an idea how the concertina or button accordion works. A full octave of musical tones or steps contains 12 notes, 13 if you count the next octave note. (To get an octave note just means doubling, or halving, the frequency, such as by halving the length of a guitar string, or causing a reed to vibrate half, or twice, as fast). A scale containing all those 12 notes is called a chromatic scale. Most basic songs and tunes however only need a select 8 of these tones, the familiar ‘doh, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, doh’ thing, that’s 7 only notes, or 8 if you count the second ‘doh’. This is called a diatonic scale. The harmonica, Anglo concertina and button accordion are diatonic free reed instruments, in general they come with just the basic 7 notes that you will need to play most tunes, in one set key or starting point. And they make those notes when air is blown over little metal reeds that sit snugly in a frame. Each button, or hole on a harmonica, has two reeds and makes two different sounds, one when the bellows are pushed together, or you blow into a harmonica, another when the bellows are pulled apart, or you draw air in.

    BnF Archives et manuscrits Rencontres autour de l'édition phonographique Rencontres autour de l'édition phonographique 2012-... 36 entretiens enregistrés (fichiers son numérique) .- 39 photographies numériques Bibliothèque nationale de France. Département de l'Audiovisuel Fonds produit par : Bibliothèque nationale de France. Département de l'audiovisuel . Service des documents sonores. Le fonds contient des documents en français. Présentation des entretiens De nouvelles musiques font leur apparition dans le sillon contestataire et revendicatif de mai 1968 : le free jazz, les musiques improvisées, les "musiques du monde" d’Amérique du sud ou d’Afrique, le rock psychédélique et progressif, le post-rock ou plus tard le punk rock ainsi que de nouveaux artistes de la chanson française aux textes plus engagés ou décalés. Les deux labels français alors hégémoniques, Barclay et Vogue, s'intéressent essentiellement au jazz traditionnel et à la chanson française à textes. Leurs essais de productions de ces nouvelles musiques (rock essentiellement) pâtissent de l'absence d'ingénieurs du son et de techniques d'enregistrement appropriées. Cette période va donc voir émerger de nouveaux labels souhaitant défendre ces nouveaux courants musicaux. Leurs contributions, pour certains, ne s'arrêtent pas à la production de disques. Ils n'hésitent pas à accompagner ces nouveaux groupes et artistes sur scène, en trouvant de nouveaux lieu de représentation, en organisant des réseaux de diffusions de la musique (via les MJC) ou encore en se lançant dans l'aventure que constitue la création des premiers festivals de musique. Aussi, comme le souligne Éric Deshayes etDominique Grimaud, "dans ces années politiquement combattantes, faire de la musique, être musicien est un mode de vie qui devient en lui-même un moyen d’action".
