    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 Snare Drum Roll

    ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND DRAMA The Snare Drum Roll Lúcia Viana da Silva Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 HEC, Master of Fine Arts in Symphonic Orchestra Performance Spring Semester, 2017 Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 higher education credits Master of Fine Arts in Symphonic Orchestra Performance Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg Spring semester, 2017 Author: Lúcia Viana da Silva Title: The Snare Drum Roll Supervisor: PhD Maria Bania Examiner: PhD. Tilman Skowroneck ABSTRACT Key words: orchestral percussion, snare drum, technique, roll. Like most other percussion instruments, the snare drum was introduced relatively late in the symphonic orchestra, and major changes and improvements concerning its playing techniques are still taking place. One of the most distinctive aspects of the snare drum is the roll, which consists of a challenge that most percussionists face eventually during their career. This project reflects my research on the snare drum roll during the last two years, gives a short background of snare drum playing and its technical development, and provides observations and reflections of different techniques to play a roll. As a percussionist myself, I analyzed and practiced on the execution of rolls as part of the research. This project includes notes on my interpretation of four orchestral excerpts, showing how technical development and control over the roll open musical possibilities to the orchestral percussionist. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMTS I would first like to thank my supervisor, PhD Maria Bania, who was always available and responsive to my questions and supportive of my ideas. Her enthusiasm and constant demand gave me the drive and encouragement for writing this thesis.

Farbe Textschwarz Auszug) The World Atlas of Musical Instruments Illustrations Anton Radevsky Text Bozhidar Abrashev & Vladimir Gadjev Design Krassimira Despotova 8 THE CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUMENTS THE STUDY OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, their history, evolution, construction, and systematics is the subject of the science of organology. Its subject matter is enormous, covering practically the entire history of humankind and includes all cultural periods and civilizations. The science studies archaeological findings, the collections of ethnography museums, historical, religious and literary sources, paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Organology is indispensable for the development of specialized museum and amateur collections of musical instruments. It is also the science that analyzes the works of the greatest instrument makers and their schools in historical, technological, and aesthetic terms. The classification of instruments used for the creation and performance of music dates back to ancient times. In ancient Greece, for example, they were divided into two main groups: blown and struck. All stringed instruments belonged to the latter group, as the strings were “struck” with fingers or a plectrum. Around the second century B. C., a separate string group was established, and these instruments quickly acquired a leading role. A more detailed classification of the three groups – wind, percussion, and strings – soon became popular. At about the same time in China, instrument classification was based on the principles of the country’s religion and philosophy. Instruments were divided into eight groups depending on the quality of the sound and on the material of which they were made: metal, stone, clay, skin, silk, wood, gourd, and bamboo.

Similarly, the cost of a fully stocked drum kit is far in excess of what an average enthusiast can afford. The maintenance of such equipment can be expensive and keeping the instruments properly tuned involves a considerable amount of time. All this can discourage many from seriously learning to play percussion instruments. Musicians draw inspiration from the world around them and in many cases are unable to construct a new piece due to the lack of readily available instruments. The V-Drum is a low-cost, portable drum kit whose implementation is based in Augmented Reality. With the V-Drum, any person with interest can learn to play percussion instruments and even construct music with the variety of virtual instruments at their disposal.

    Making Music from Around the World

    The Birmingham Botanical Gardens Making Music From Around The World The Birmingham Botanical Gardens & Glasshouses Introduction In the Music National Curriculum, one of the general requirements for study throughout Key Stages 1, 2 and 3 is the inclusion of music from ‘a variety of cultures, Western and non-Western’. However, it is not always that easy to find ways of introducing a multicultural dimension to the teaching of music in the classroom. At the Botanical Gardens we have an exciting collection of musical instruments made from natural materials, which come from around the world. These instruments are available for workshop sessions, which allow the pupils to explore a new world of sound and learn more about the places they come from and the people who make them. This booklet describes the fascinating instruments available; the plant materials used in their construction and practical fun activities that can be carried out with the pupils at the Gardens. Acknowledgements Many thanks must go to Andy Wilson from Knock on Wood for supplying us with most of our instruments and helpful background information. Musical Instruments Africa Bean Pod Rattle Perhaps the simplest rattle of them all. This example is the pod of the Royal Poinciana tree from Madagascar. Baobab Rattle Another simple rattle using the fruit and seeds of the Baobab tree. Another kind of seed pod rattle. Possibly using Capala fruits from the Passiflora group of plants threaded onto a stick. Nyatiti Uses a calabash as the body of the instrument which acts as the sound box.

  • Following the Trail of the Snake: a Life History of Cobra Mansa “Cobrinha” Mestre of Capoeira

    Following the Trail of the Snake: a Life History of Cobra Mansa “Cobrinha” Mestre of Capoeira

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF THE SNAKE: A LIFE HISTORY OF COBRA MANSA “COBRINHA” MESTRE OF CAPOEIRA Isabel Angulo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Jonathan Dueck Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology, School of Music, University of Maryland Professor John Caughey American Studies Department, University of Maryland This dissertation is a cultural biography of Mestre Cobra Mansa, a mestre of the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira angola. The intention of this work is to track Mestre Cobrinha’s life history and accomplishments from his beginning as an impoverished child in Rio to becoming a mestre of the tradition—its movements, music, history, ritual and philosophy. A highly skilled performer and researcher, he has become a cultural ambassador of the tradition in Brazil and abroad. Following the Trail of the Snake is an interdisciplinary work that integrates the research methods of ethnomusicology (oral history, interview, participant observation, musical and performance analysis and transcription) with a revised life history methodology to uncover the multiple cultures that inform the life of a mestre of capoeira. A reflexive auto-ethnography of the author opens a dialog between the experiences and developmental steps of both research partners’ lives. Written in the intersection of ethnomusicology, studies of capoeira, social studies and music education, the academic dissertation format is performed as a roda of capoeira aiming to be respectful of the original context of performance. The result is a provocative ethnographic narrative that includes visual texts from the performative aspects of the tradition (music and movement), aural transcriptions of Mestre Cobra Mansa’s storytelling and a myriad of writing techniques to accompany the reader in a multi-dimensional journey of multicultural understanding.
