  • 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 Equality of Kowtow: Bodily Practices and Mentality of the Zushiye Belief
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Journal of Cambridge Studies 1 The Equality of Kowtow: Bodily Practices and Mentality of the Zushiye Belief Yongyi YUE Beijing Normal University, P.R. China Email: [email protected] Abstract: Although the Zushiye (Grand Masters) belief is in some degree similar with the Worship of Ancestors, it obviously has its own characteristics. Before the mid-twentieth century, the belief of King Zhuang of Zhou (696BC-682BC), the Zushiye of many talking and singing sectors, shows that except for the group cult, the Zushiye belief which is bodily practiced in the form of kowtow as a basic action also dispersed in the group everyday life system, including acknowledging a master (Baishi), art-learning (Xueyi), marriage, performance, identity censorship (Pandao) and master-apprentice relationship, etc. Furthermore, the Zushiye belief is not only an explicit rite but also an implicit one: a thinking symbol of the entire society, special groups and the individuals, and a method to express the self and the world in inter-group communication. The Zushiye belief is not only “the nature of mind” or “the mentality”, but also a metaphor of ideas and eagerness for equality, as well as relevant behaviors.

  • De La Música Tradicional De China. Selección
    Discografía de la música tradicional de China. Selección Biblioteca Fundación Juan March Esta selección discográfica ha sido preparada con motivo de la exposición El principio Asia. China, Japón e India y el arte contemporáneo en España (1957-2017) y del ciclo de cinco conciertos Oriente y la música occidental. Durante la preparación de esta discografía no han sido incluidos numerosos registros publicados en China de muy difícil localización en Occidente. Tampoco se mencionan grabaciones sonoras anteriores al vinilo. Las músicas que aparecen en estos discos son un breve apunte de la riqueza musical tradicional que aún se practica en este país. Muchos de estos soportes sonoros han sido y son, además, fuente de estudio para compositores e intérpretes occidentales. La influencia de estas músicas sobre las técnicas compositivas, el timbre vocal e instrumental o sobre la concepción del tiempo musical es esencial para comprender una gran parte de la historia musical del siglo XX. Selección discográfica de José Luis Maire Biblioteca Fundación Juan March Abril de 2018 Música y canto budista La liturgia budista y taoísta en China tiene una historia de casi 2000 años y todavía se practica ampliamente en la actualidad. Desde su llegada a China hasta las llamadas tres dinastías del Norte y del Sur (420-589 d. C.), el budismo sufrió un proceso de consolidación hasta su profunda adaptación. Como numerosos documentos históricos demuestran (textos, pinturas y esculturas), el budismo introdujo en China nuevos géneros y prácticas rituales de una manera progresiva. Uno de los géneros más representativos y específicos de la liturgia vocal china es el denominado canto fanbei, caracterizado por la construcción de melodías melismáticas surgidas como consecuencia de un proceso de transculturación con las formas nativas de China.

    MATHEMATICS, RHYTHM, AND NATURAL LANGUAGE IN CHINESE AND EUROPEAN CULTURE by Daniela Galante Sommario La ricerca in didattica negli ultimi anni si è mostrata sensibile alle problematiche della multicultura e nella cultura cinese, l’applicazione della matematica nel linguaggio della musica è assai diversa rispetto all’Occidente. Infatti, in Occidente il linguaggio musicale si è evoluto nella direzione di una complessa forma architettonica, con complesse strutture ritmiche, timbriche e formali. Viceversa, la cultura cinese presenta da millenni caratteri di continuità e di unità specifici come quello del sistema di scrittura, non di carattere alfabetico, ma costituito da caratteri indipendenti, ciascuno con un proprio valore semantico e fonetico, con un significato concreto la cui forma ha necessariamente influenzato il pensiero, la cultura e la musica cinese. Dallo studio è emerso che in Cina la natura dell’arte musicale è correlata al suono, in quanto espressione di potenza trascendente. In Occidente i compositori da secoli imitano la natura, invece nella cultura cinese il musicista non deve imitare nulla poiché la musica è natura che si manifesta attraverso l’espressione umana del suono. La mancanza di documenti scritti rende difficile l’analisi del vasto patrimonio musicale cinese e ancor più impegnativo il confronto con quello occidentale. All’interno di questa concezione, proprio perché la lingua cinese è monosillabica, la dimensione ritmica è il principale elemento del linguaggio musicale abbinato alla matematica e si è tramandata per secoli con la caratteristica dell’immutabilità, cioè senza sviluppare una pratica e di conseguenza una notazione mensurale articolata e complessa. Abstract Research in Education in recent years has shown itself sensitive to issues of multiculturalism and in Chinese culture the application of mathematics in the language of music is very different from the West.
