A Review of the Origin and Evolution of Uygur Musical Instruments
2019 International Conference on Humanities, Cultures, Arts and Design (ICHCAD 2019) A Review of the Origin and Evolution of Uygur Musical Instruments Xiaoling Wang, Xiaoling Wu Changji University Changji, Xinjiang, China Keywords: Uygur Musical Instruments, Origin, Evolution, Research Status Abstract: There Are Three Opinions about the Origin of Uygur Musical Instruments, and Four Opinions Should Be Exact. Due to Transliteration, the Same Musical Instrument Has Multiple Names, Which Makes It More Difficult to Study. So Far, the Origin of Some Musical Instruments is Difficult to Form a Conclusion, Which Needs to Be Further Explored by People with Lofty Ideals. 1. Introduction Uyghur Musical Instruments Have Various Origins and Clear Evolution Stages, But the Process is More Complex. I Think There Are Four Sources of Uygur Musical Instruments. One is the National Instrument, Two Are the Central Plains Instruments, Three Are Western Instruments, Four Are Indigenous Instruments. There Are Three Changes in the Development of Uygur Musical Instruments. Before the 10th Century, the Main Musical Instruments Were Reed Flute, Flute, Flute, Suona, Bronze Horn, Shell, Pottery Flute, Harp, Phoenix Head Harp, Kojixiang Pipa, Wuxian, Ruan Xian, Ruan Pipa, Cymbals, Bangling Bells, Pan, Hand Drum, Iron Drum, Waist Drum, Jiegu, Jilou Drum. At the Beginning of the 10th Century, on the Basis of the Original Instruments, Sattar, Tanbu, Rehwap, Aisi, Etc New Instruments Such as Thar, Zheng and Kalong. after the Middle of the 20th Century, There Were More Than 20 Kinds of Commonly Used Musical Instruments, Including Sattar, Trable, Jewap, Asitar, Kalong, Czech Republic, Utar, Nyi, Sunai, Kanai, Sapai, Balaman, Dapu, Narre, Sabai and Kashtahi (Dui Shi, or Chahchak), Which Can Be Divided into Four Categories: Choral, Membranous, Qiming and Ti Ming. -
"Tal-Grixti" a Family of Żaqq and Tanbur Musicians
"TAL-GRIXTI" A FAMILY OF ŻAQQ AND TANBUR MUSICIANS Anna Borg Cardona, B.A., L.T.C.L. On his visit to Malta, George Percy Badger (1838) observed that Unative musical instruments", were "getting into disuse" (1). Amongst these was the Maltese bagpipe known as żaqq'. A hundred years later, the żaqq was stil1 in use, but evidently still considered to be waning. By the end of the first half of the twentieth century, the few remaining żaqq musicians were scattered around the isla:nd of Ma1ta in Naxxar, Mosta, Siġġiewi, Dingli, Żurrieq, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Marsa, Mellieħ.a and also on the sister island of Gozo, in Rabat. By the time Partridge and Jeal (2) investigated the situation between 1971 and 1973, they found a total of9living players in Malta and none in Gozo. Now the instrument is no longer played and may be considered virtually extinct. Zaqq players up to the early part of the twentieth century used to perform in the streets and in coffee or wine bars. They would often venture forth to nearby villages, making melodious music to the accompaniment of percussive instruments such as tambourine (tanbur) or fiiction drum (rabbaba, żuvżaJa). It was also not uncommon to witness a group of dancers c10sely followingthe musicians and contorting to their rhythms. This music came to be expected especially a.round Christmas time, Feast days (Festi) and Camival time. The few musicians known as żaqq players tended to pass theit knowledge on from generation to generation, in the same way as other arts, crafts and trades were handed down. -

About Two Types of Universalism in the Musical Instruments of the Kazakhs

Zhurgenov Kazakh national academy of arts E-mail: [email protected] 4Kurmangazy Kazakh National Conservatory E-mail: [email protected] 5E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The aim of the study is to investigate common features and differences between musical cultures of nomadic and settled Turks in Kazakhstan via comparative qualitative research methods. As a result, Timbre-register variation is actively used in dombra music. The compositional form of the kui - buyn (link) and with using transposition - suggests a register differentiation of the musical space. In conclusion, the timbre-register principle of development should be taken into account in the analysis of instrumental samples (dombra kui –tokpe and shertpe) and vocal-instrumental music not only of the Kazakhs, but also of other Turkic peoples.

The Poetics of Persian Music
The Poetics of Persian Music: The Intimate Correlation between Prosody and Persian Classical Music by Farzad Amoozegar-Fassie B.A., The University of Toronto, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Farzad Amoozegar-Fassie, 2010 Abstract Throughout most historical narratives and descriptions of Persian arts, poetry has had a profound influence on the development and preservation of Persian classical music, in particularly after the emergence of Islam in Iran. A Persian poetic structure consists of two parts: the form (its fundamental rhythmic structure, or prosody) and the content (the message that a poem conveys to its audience, or theme). As the practice of using rhythmic cycles—once prominent in Iran— deteriorated, prosody took its place as the source of rhythmic organization and inspiration. The recognition and reliance on poetry was especially evident amongst Iranian musicians, who by the time of Islamic rule had been banished from the public sphere due to the sinful socio-religious outlook placed on music. As the musicians’ dependency on prosody steadily grew stronger, poetry became the preserver, and, to a great extent, the foundation of Persian music’s oral tradition. While poetry has always been a significant part of any performance of Iranian classical music, little attention has been paid to the vitality of Persian/Arabic prosody as its main rhythmic basis. Poetic prosody is the rhythmic foundation of the Persian repertoire the radif, and as such it makes possible the development, memorization, expansion, and creation of the complex rhythmic and melodic compositions during the art of improvisation. -

FEATURES of DUTAR PERFORMANCE Khodjaeva R.М
FEATURES OF DUTAR PERFORMANCE Khodjaeva R.М. Email: [email protected] Khodjaeva Ruzibi Madievna - Associate Professor, DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE ON PUBLIC INSTRUMENT, STATE CONSERVATORY OF UZBEKISTAN, TASHKENT, REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN Abstract: in dutar performance, he usually does not always show the strokes necessary for the performance. Therefore, during each performance, the teacher sets a task to perform certain notes on the appropriate bar (for example, with a single stroke or tremolo, which note to play 'up or down'), and requires the student to follow these lines. If the student is not able to complete the task set by the teacher, the teacher will have to write the appropriate bars on the notes. The right choice of playing style (left hand position) is also required in instrumental performance. This allows for efficient use of execution techniques. Keywords: dutar, genre, hatch, note, pedagogy, string, composer. ОСОБЕННОСТИ ДУТАРНОГО ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬСТВА Ходжаева Р.М. Ходжаева Рузиби Мадиевна – доцент, кафедра исполнительства на народных инструментах, Государственная консерватория Узбекистана, г. Ташкент, Республика Узбекистан Аннотация: в дутарном исполнительстве обычно не всегда показывают штрихи, необходимые для исполнения. Поэтому во время каждого выступления учитель ставит задачу - исполнять определенные ноты на соответствующем такте (например, с помощью одного удара или тремоло, при этом нота воспроизводится «вверх или вниз») и требует от ученика следовать этим строчкам. Если ученик не может выполнить задание, поставленное учителем, учитель должен отметить соответствующие штрихи в нотах. Правильный выбор стиля игры (положение левой руки) также необходим в инструментальном исполнении. Это позволяет эффективно использовать техники исполнения. Ключевые слова: дутар, жанр, штрих, нота, педагогика, струнный, композитор. UDС 078 Music, with its unique nature, has a great influence on the spiritual world of students. -
Folksongs of the Turkic World
Journal of Literature and Art Studies, November 2016, Vol. 6, No. 11, 1343-1370 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.11.008 D DAVID PUBLISHING Folksongs of the Turkic World János Sipos Institute for Musicology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary The long-term goal of my research has been to systematize and compare by musical criteria the folk songs of Turkic groups and ethnicities living around them. Here I rarely touch on instrumental folk music, the repertoire of professional or semi-professional performers, the most recent strata, seldom or just occasionally discuss art music and the cultural, social and anthropological implications of music are only sporadically considered, too. There are close connections between the languages of Turkic groups but their musical stocks are fundamentally different. Actually, that is not surprising, because these people are, at least in part, Turkified, and through their substrata (that is people absorbed by them) they are in genetic and cultural relations with several non-Turkic peoples. My research therefore has repercussions; apart from the Turkic-speaking peoples tied by culture, language and history, upon their neighbors and partly absorbed other peoples, creating the foundation for an even broader future comparative ethnomusicological research of Eurasian groups. This paper is aimed to provide a very short summary about the findings of my field researches into the folk music of different Turkic-speaking people between 1987 and 2015. I introduce the sources, the collecting work and the methods of processing and analyzing the songs. I also give an analytical introduction to the folksong of Anatolian Turks, Azeris, Turkmens, Uzbeks (and Tajiks), Karachay-Balkars, Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, a Sufi Turkish community in Thrace and the area of the Volga-Kama-Belaya region.
