  • 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).

  • Following the Science
    November 2020 Following the Science: A systematic literature review of studies surrounding singing and brass, woodwind and bagpipe playing during the COVID-19 pandemic Authors: John Wallace, Lio Moscardini, Andrew Rae and Alan Watson Music Education MEPGScotland Partnership Group MEPGScotland.org @MusicEducation10 Table of Contents Overview 1 Introduction Research Questions Research Method 2 Systematic Review Consistency Checklist Results 5 Thematic Categories Discussion 7 Breathing Singing Brass playing Woodwind playing Bagpipes Summary Conclusions 14 Recommended measures to mitigate risk 15 Research Team 17 Appendix 18 Matrix of identified papers References 39 Overview Introduction The current COVID-19 situation has resulted in widespread concern and considerable uncertainty relating to the position of musical performance and in particular potential risks associated with singing and brass, woodwind and bagpipe playing. There is a wide range of advice and guidance available but it is important that any guidance given should be evidence- based and the sources of this evidence should be known. The aim of the study was to carry out a systematic literature review in order to gather historical as well as the most current and relevant information which could provide evidence-based guidance for performance practice. This literature was analysed in order to determine the evidence of risk attached to singing and brass , woodwind and bagpipe playing, in relation to the spread of airborne pathogens such as COVID-19, through droplets and aerosol.

  • Instruments of the Orchestra
    INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA String Family WHAT: Wooden, hollow-bodied instruments strung with metal strings across a bridge. WHERE: Find this family in the front of the orchestra and along the right side. HOW: Sound is produced by a vibrating string that is bowed with a bow made of horse tail hair. The air then resonates in the hollow body. Other playing techniques include pizzicato (plucking the strings), col legno (playing with the wooden part of the bow), and double-stopping (bowing two strings at once). WHY: Composers use these instruments for their singing quality and depth of sound. HOW MANY: There are four sizes of stringed instruments: violin, viola, cello and bass. A total of forty-four are used in full orchestras. The string family is the largest family in the orchestra, accounting for over half of the total number of musicians on stage. The string instruments all have carved, hollow, wooden bodies with four strings running from top to bottom. The instruments have basically the same shape but vary in size, from the smaller VIOLINS and VIOLAS, which are played by being held firmly under the chin and either bowed or plucked, to the larger CELLOS and BASSES, which stand on the floor, supported by a long rod called an end pin. The cello is always played in a seated position, while the bass is so large that a musician must stand or sit on a very high stool in order to play it. These stringed instruments developed from an older instrument called the viol, which had six strings.

  • "Ei, Dem Alten Herrn Zoll' Ich Achtung Gern'"
    Stephanie Klauk, Rainer Kleinertz, Sergi Zauner Zur Edition der Werke von Tomás Luis de Victoria Geschichte und Perspektiven Tomás Luis de Victoria (ca. 1548–1611) genoss bereits zu Lebzeiten internationalen Ruhm. Aus Ávila stammend war er lange Zeit in Rom – dort zudem mit einem deutlichen Bezug zu Deutschland1 – und schließlich wieder in Spanien tätig, so dass Drucke, Abschriften und Editionen seiner Werke gerade in den genannten Ländern nicht überraschen. Bisher liegen zwei im engeren Sinne musikwissenschaftliche (Gesamt-) Ausgaben seiner Werke vor: Opera omnia in acht Bänden, herausgegeben von Felipe Pedrell (Leipzig 1902–1913) und Opera omnia in vier Bänden, herausgegeben von Higinio Anglés (Barcelona 1965–1968).2 Unabhängig davon, dass die Ausgabe von Anglés ein Torso blieb, entsprechen beide Ausgaben weder nach Maßstäben der Vollständigkeit noch der Edition heutigen wissenschaftlichen Standards. Sie basieren nahezu ausschließlich auf den zu Lebzeiten des Komponisten erschienenen Drucken seiner Werke:3 • Motecta quae partim quaternis, partim quinis, alia senis, alia octonis vocibus concinuntur (Venedig 1572) 1 Auch wenn es keinerlei Belege für einen Aufenthalt Victorias in Deutschland gibt, so steht seine beson- dere Beziehung zu Deutschland außer Frage. Neben seinen vielfältigen Verbindungen zum Collegium Germanicum in Rom, an dem er zunächst Schüler, später Musiklehrer war, widmete Victoria zwei seiner Drucke politischen und kirchlichen deutschen Persönlichkeiten. Basierend auf der Widmung seiner Motecta (Venedig 1572) an den Bischof von Augsburg und Kardinal Otto Truchsess von Waldburg (1514– 1573) entwarf Raffaele Casimiri die Hypothese, Victoria habe von 1568 bis 1571 als Nachfolger Jacobus de Kerles die private Kapelle des Kardinals geleitet (Raffaele Casimiri, Il Vittoria. Nuovi Documenti per una biografia sincera di Tommaso Ludovico de Victoria, in: Note d’Archivio per la Storia Musicale 11 [1934], S.

  • Instrument Descriptions
    RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it.

  • The Source Spectrum of Double-Reed Wood-Wind Instruments
    Dept. for Speech, Music and Hearing Quarterly Progress and Status Report The source spectrum of double-reed wood-wind instruments Fransson, F. journal: STL-QPSR volume: 8 number: 1 year: 1967 pages: 025-027 http://www.speech.kth.se/qpsr MUSICAL ACOUSTICS A. THE SOURCE SPECTRUM OF DOUBLE-REED WOOD-VIIND INSTRUMENTS F. Fransson Part 2. The Oboe and the Cor Anglais A synthetic source spectrum for the bassoon was derived in part 1 of the present work (STL-GPSR 4/1966, pp. 35-37). A synthesis of the source spectrum for two other representative members of the double-reed family is now attempted. Two oboes of different bores and one cor anglais were used in this experiment. Oboe No. 1 of the old system without marking, manufactured in Germany, has 13 keys; Oboe No. 2, manufactured in France and marked Gabart, is of the modern system; and the Cor Anglais No. 3 is of the old system with 13 keys and made by Bolland & Wienz in Hannover. Measurements A mean spectrogram for tones within one octave covering a frequen- cy range from 294 to 588 c/s was produced for the oboes by playing two scrics of tones. One serie was d4, e4, f4, g4, and a and the other 4 serie was g 4, a4, b4, c 5' and d5. Both series were blown slurred ascending and descending in rapid succession, recorded and combined to a rather inharmonic duet on one loop. The spectrograms are shown in Fig. 111-A- 1 whcre No. 1 displays the spectrogram for the old sys- tem German oboe and No.

  • Research Report: Hybrid Clarinet Project
    STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CCRMA Research Report: Hybrid Clarinet Project Romain Michon and John Granzow December 4, 2013 In the past thirty years we have seen a wide range of studies on the physical modeling of mu- sical instruments using the waveguide technique. We now have at our disposal sophisticated models encompassing a large array of musical instruments. While the waveguide technique is both efficient and allows for the creation of effective models, it remains dependent on the precise control of the parameters of the model as well as on the quality of the excitation that is used to drive them. Many works on the control of waveguide physical models and on the modeling of nonlinear excitations have been carried out. However, the link between these two parameters is generally understudied. Indeed, for most musical instruments, the excitation is the element that has the greatest num- ber of parameters to control and is thus the hardest element to model. The properties of the bore of a clarinet for example (but this also applies to most of the woodwind and brass in- struments) can only be modified by tone holes, that are very discrete controllers (they can be opened or closed or half closed in some cases). On the other hand, the interactions between the mouthpiece and the player are extremely complex and difficult to simulate on a computer. This problem has been addressed in many ways in the past with different solutions for almost every case. Yamaha, for example, created a breath controller that worked with the VL1 synthe- sizer series1. For violins, Esteban Maestre developed a technique where the parameters of the physical model are controlled by gesture data acquired from real world performers[3].

    Mystery Instrument Trivia! ACTIVITY SUMMARY In this activity, students will use online sources to research a variety of unusual wind- blown instruments, matching the instrument name with the clues provided. Students will then select one of the instruments for a deeper dive into the instrument’s origins and usage, and will create a multimedia presentation to share with the class. STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO identify commonalities and differences in music instruments from various cultures. (CA VAPA Music 3.0 Cultural Context) gather information from sources to answer questions. (CA CCSS W 8) describe objects with relevant detail. (CACCSS SL 4) Meet Our Instruments: HORN Video Demonstration STEPS: 1. Review the HORN video demonstration by San Francisco Symphony Assistant Principal Horn Bruce Roberts: Meet Our Instruments: HORN Video Demonstration. Pay special attention to the section where he talks about buzzing the lips to create sound, and how tightening and loosening the buzzing lips create different sounds as the air passes through the instrument’s tubing. 2. Tell the students: There many instruments that create sound the very same way—but without the valves to press. These instruments use ONLY the lips to play different notes! Mystery Instrument Trivia! 3. Students will explore some unusual and distinctive instruments that make sound using only the buzzing lips and lip pressure—no valves. Students should use online searches to match the trivia clues with the instrument names! Mystery Instrument Trivia - CLUES: This instrument was used in many places around the world to announce that the mail had arrived. Even today, a picture of this instrument is the official logo of the national mail delivery service in many countries.

  • Let's Play Bassoon
    LET’S PLAY Bassoon By Hugo Fox Hugo Fox From 1922 until 1949, Hugo Fox served as principal bassoonist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, where he acquired an almost legendary reputation as one of the outstanding bassoonists of his era. During fifteen years of this period, he was instructor of bassoon at Northwestern University, and many of his students became ranked among the prominent bassoonists of America. During this period, his studies of the acoustics of the instrument and a desire to experiment, prompted him to form the Fox Bassoon Company, which now produces the well-known instru- ments that bear his name. 2 INTRODUCTION: This booklet has been prepared for the bandmaster or woodwind instructor who teaches the instrument, while not being an accomplished bassoonist. It is intended to serve as a handy reminder of some of the more important points to consider when starting a student, maintaining the instrument, and finishing reeds or reed blanks. The fingering chart is based on competent professional practices, and while not extensive in its treatment of alternate fingerings, is sufficiently complete to be used with almost any properly constructed instrument. 3 INDEX Introduction ....................................................................2-3 Starting the Student on Bassoon .................................... 5 Assembly of the Bassoon ...............................................6-7 Care of the Instrument ...................................................8-9 The Reed.....................................................................10-11 Fingering Charts .........................................................12-22 4 STARTING THE STUDENT ON THE BASSOON Either transfer the students from another instrument, or bassoon, much like when playing trombone. The air start them directly on bassoon. If you have access to a stream must have a clear, unobstructed path through the short-reach model bassoon, it is practical to start them in reed, continuing through the instrument.
