The author explores one possible map through the journey. 28 The Flute In Jazz: Window on World Music by Peter Westbrook The historical timeline of the flute in jazz is hardwon and brief, but it’s growing fast— in both time and space, as it spreads outward to embrace the music of a global community. 36 Seeking François Devienne 28 by William Montgomery Mysteries still shroud much of the life of this French Revolution-era flutist and composer, but one element is certain: the prolific output and enduring quality of Devienne’s work. A noted flutist and pedagogue describes what he discovered following his detective work throughout Europe and speculates about the questions that remain.

  • LINER NOTES Recorded Anthology of American Music, Inc
    FLUTES New World Records 80403 Works by ROBERT BEASER PAUL SCHOENFIELD JOSEPH SCHWANTNER In 1986, three composers and three flutists met in a novel commissioning project supported by a National Endowment Consortium Commissioning Grant. Flutists Ransom Wilson, Carol Wincenc, and Paula Robison, each a longtime supporter and performer of new music, asked Joseph Schwantner, Paul Schoenfield, and Robert Beaser to write new works for flute and orchestra. On this recording, each solo artist presents the orchestral work composed for him or her, as well as a flute and piano "encore" by the same composer. When Aftertones of Infinity, Joseph Schwantner's first professional composition for symphony orchestra, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1979, a world of new commissions opened up to him. Born in Chicago in 1943 and trained there at the American Conservatory and Northwestern University, Schwantner had been on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music since 1970. He then was composer-in-residence with the Saint Louis Symphony from 1982 to 1985. According to Schwantner, his piece A Play of Shadows represents "an attempt to mirror [Ransom Wilson's] dramatic and compelling musical personality." Schwantner's evocative titles--Music of Amber, Distant Runes and Incantations, and A Sudden Rainbow are some of his other instrumental works -indicate a creative approach grounded in poetic imagery. "Sanctuary.../ deep forests,/a play of shadows..." is the haiku-like beginning of a brief epigraph the composer wrote in the score of A Play of Shadows, and the music's blend of repose and airy brilliance capture this image in sound.

  • The Mathematics of Musical Instruments
    The Mathematics of Musical Instruments Rachel W. Hall and Kreˇsimir Josi´c August 29, 2000 Abstract This article highlights several applications of mathematics to the design of musical instru- ments. In particular, we consider the physical properties of a Norwegian folk instrument called the willow flute. The willow flute relies on harmonics, rather than finger holes, to produce a scale which is related to a major scale. The pitches correspond to fundamental solutions of the one-dimensional wave equation. This \natural" scale is the jumping-off point for a discussion of several systems of scale construction|just, Pythagorean, and equal temperament|which have connections to number theory and dynamical systems and are crucial in the design of keyboard instruments. The willow flute example also provides a nice introduction to the spectral theory of partial differential equations, which explains the differences between the sounds of wind or stringed instruments and drums. 1 Introduction The history of musical instruments goes back tens of thousands of years. Fragments of bone flutes and whistles have been found at Neanderthal sites. Recently, a 9; 000-year-old flute found in China was shown to be the world's oldest playable instrument.1 These early instruments show that humans have long been concerned with producing pitched sound|that is, sound containing predominantly a single frequency. Indeed, finger holes on the flutes indicate that these prehistoric musicians had some concept of a musical scale. The study of the mathematics of musical instruments dates back at least to the Pythagoreans, who discovered that certain combinations of pitches which they considered pleasing corresponded to simple ratios of frequencies such as 2:1 and 3:2.

  • Download the FLUTE of WAYMAN ALEXANDER CARVER
    1 The FLUTE of WAYMAN ALEXANDER CARVER Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: July 2, 2011 2 Born: Portsmouth, Virginia, Dec. 25, 1905 Died: May 6, 1967 Introduction: From the very first day I heard Wayman Carver‟s flute on the Spike Hughes sessions, I have been a great fan. Not only was he the first (together with Alberto Socarras) to improvise on flute, but he was more than just a pioneer on that instrument. His soli certainly have lasting qualities for musical and not only for historical reasons. He might have recorded more extensively, if he had chosen an instrument less „modest‟! His sound was probably not among the loudest ones on Chick Webb‟s dancing nights, therefore he never became a „name‟ to the public, not even the general jazz public. I sincerely believe he deserves a solography, although it is much too brief. Some years after writing Wayman Carver‟s solography in 1983 (Jazz Solography Series, Vol. 14), I met his daughter Avis and the whole family in Atlanta, a great pleasure for me! Together we made a website for his 100 years anniversary in 2005. History: Wayman Alexander Carver was bom December 25,1905 in Portsmouth, Virginia. His parents were Alexander and Catherine Carver. Wayman was the second bom of eight children – four boys and four girls. At an early age, Carver showed not only an interest in but talent for music. Both his father and uncle were accomplished musicians who played in the Metropolitan Marching Band of Portsmouth. The band was a combined jazz and marching band composed largely of “earmusicians”.
