Historic A trumpet is made out of quite a long metal tube folded back on itself into an oblong shape. If you were to unwind a normal orchestral trumpet (called a B-flat trumpet) the tube would be about 1.5 metres long.. The trumpet usually has a detachable Factoid mouthpiece and three valves on the top of the instrument which the trumpeter presses to help change notes. It also has short lengths of tube which can be pulled “The quality of tone of the out or pushed in to help alter the pitch of the instrument.

  • Soprano Cornet
    SOPRANO CORNET: THE HIDDEN GEM OF THE TRUMPET FAMILY by YANBIN CHEN (Under the Direction of Brandon Craswell) ABSTRACT The E-flat soprano cornet has served an indispensable role in the British brass band; it is commonly considered to be “the hottest seat in the band.”1 Compared to its popularity in Britain and Europe, the soprano cornet is not as familiar to players in North America or other parts of world. This document aims to offer young players who are interested in playing the soprano cornet in a brass band a more complete view of the instrument through the research of its historical roots, its artistic role in the brass band, important solo repertoire, famous players, approach to the instrument, and equipment choices. The existing written material regarding the soprano cornet is relatively limited in comparison to other instruments in the trumpet family. Research for this document largely relies on established online resources, as well as journals, books about the history of the brass band, and questionnaires completed by famous soprano cornet players, prestigious brass band conductors, and composers. 1 Joseph Parisi, Personal Communication, Email with Yanbin Chen, April 15, 2019. In light of the increased interest in the brass band in North America, especially at the collegiate level, I hope this project will encourage more players to appreciate and experience this hidden gem of the trumpet family.

  • Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
    NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays.

  • Characterization And' Taxonomy Acoustical Standpoint
    Characterization and' Taxonomy of Historic Brass Musical Instruments from ae Acoustical Standpoint Arnold Myers Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 1998 I" V *\- Abstract The conceptual bases of existing classification schemes for brasswind are examined. The requirements of a taxonomy relating to the character of brass musical instruments as experienced by players and listeners are discussed. Various directly and indirectly measurable physical parameters are defined. The utility of these parameters in classification is assessed in a number of case studies on instruments in museums and collections. The evolution of instrument design since 1750 in terms of these characterization criteria is outlined. Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work is my own. ? r % *} Acknowledgements I have been encouraged and helped by many in my investigations. My supervisors, D. Murray Campbell in the Department of Physics and Astronomy Christopher D.S. Field, and John Kitchen in the Faculty of Music have provided wise guidance whenever needed. Raymond Parks, Research Fellow in Fluid Dynamics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, has given unfailing support, and has been responsible for much of the measuring equipment I have used. David Sharp has used the pulse reflectornetry techniques developed in the course of his own research to obtain bore reconstructions of numerous specimens for me. Herbert Heyde kindly discussed the measurement of historic brass instruments with me. Stewart Benzie has carried out instrument repairs for me and made the crook described in Chapter 5. I am grateful to the curators of many museums for allowing me access to the historic instruments in their care.

  • The Brass Instrument Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
    113 THE BRASS INSTRUMENT COLLECTION OF THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART IN NEW YORK HERBERT HEYDE The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses a large, comprehensive collection of musical instruments. Managed by one of seventeen curatorial departments, the Musical Instruments Department, it contains approximately 4,500 instruments. Roughly forty percent of them are of western, the rest of non-western origin. The Egyptian, Islamic, Arms and Armor, Medieval Departments, and a few other departments, house some additional instruments. Another resource consists of iconographic representations of musical instruments that are to be found in almost all departments. They are included in The Performing Arts Index of RIdIM.1 The western brass, or “lip-vibrated” instruments of the Musical Instruments Department amount to only 283 items—an indication that this fi eld was never a priority of the museum’s collecting activities. The basis of The Metropolitan Museum of Art musical instruments collection was provided by Mary Elisabeth Adams Brown (1842-1918), who donated her collection from 1889 in successive installments in the name of her husband, John Crosby Brown. Beginning with 276 instruments in 1889, the gift ultimately amounted to more than 3400 items in 1918. To be precise, before Brown’s donation there was already a collection of forty-four instruments in the museum, given by Joseph William Drexel (1833-1888), a wealthy amateur musician and philanthropist in New York. The Brown family, of British origin, engaged in international banking and graciously supported American culture, including education and theology. Besides musical instruments, Mrs. Brown collected lace, embroidery, and portraits of musicians, which are now kept in the Prints and Drawings Department of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.2 A few years after the Crosby Brown collection began to arrive in 1889, the museum provided gallery space for its public display.

  • Rhetoric Level - Music
    Catholic Schoolhouse Year 3 - Rhetoric Level - Music Quarter 4 – Brass Instruments Class Opener: Brainstorm all the places and genres that you recall in which brass instruments commonly perform. Which are your favorites? Can you easily tell when you are hearing a brass instrument versus another kind of instrument? How can you tell? Brass Instruments The brass family of instruments are wind instruments usually made of brass or other metal through which a sound is produced by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece and using the lips, chin and tongue to alter the pitch. Brass instruments are aerophones, or wind instruments, and though they may appear fairly complicated, they are really just a long metal tube through which air travels. These metal tubes are typically bent into S-curves or loops to make them more compact and easy to handle, but if they were each to be stretched to their maximum length, it would be evident that the shorter instruments produce higher sounds than the longer ones. That is because the column of air in the instrument, like the length of the string on a violin or cello, is what vibrates and determines the pitch. The pitch of a brass instrument can be altered by using the lips alone to reach the octaves, fifths and fourths, but the remaining notes are produced by means of valves, which redirect the air through the metal tube in various directions, or slides, which lengthen the metal tube to various degrees. Brass mouthpiece image credit Basic brass instruments include the trumpet, French horn, trombone, and tuba.
