  • An African-American Contribution to the Percussion Literature in the Western Art Music Tradition
    Illuminating Silent Voices: An African-American Contribution to the Percussion Literature in the Western Art Music Tradition by Darrell Irwin Thompson A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Mark Sunkett, Chair Bliss Little Kay Norton James DeMars Jeffrey Bush ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 ABSTRACT Illuminating Silent Voices: An African-American Contribution to the Percussion Literature in the Western Art Music Tradition will discuss how Raymond Ridley's original composition, FyrStar (2009), is comparable to other pre-existing percussion works in the literature. Selected compositions for comparison included Darius Milhaud's Concerto for Marimba, Vibraphone and Orchestra, Op. 278 (1949); David Friedman's and Dave Samuels's Carousel (1985); Raymond Helble's Duo Concertante for Vibraphone and Marimba, Op. 54 (2009); Tera de Marez Oyens's Octopus: for Bass Clarinet and one Percussionist (marimba/vibraphone) (1982). In the course of this document, the author will discuss the uniqueness of FyrStar's instrumentation of nine single reed instruments--E-flat clarinet, B-flat clarinet, alto clarinet, bass clarinet, B-flat contrabass clarinet, B-flat soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, and B-flat baritone saxophone, juxtaposing this unique instrumentation to the symbolic relationship between the ensemble, marimba, and vibraphone. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I first want to thank God, for guiding my thoughts, hands, and feet. I am grateful, for the support, understanding, and guidance I have received from my parents. I also want to thank my grandmother, sister, brother, and to the rest of my family for being one of the best support groups anyone could have.

  • 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.

  • 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 Nonlinear Physics of Musical Instruments
    Rep. Prog. Phys. 62 (1999) 723–764. Printed in the UK PII: S0034-4885(99)65724-4 The nonlinear physics of musical instruments N H Fletcher Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra 0200, Australia Received 20 October 1998 Abstract Musical instruments are often thought of as linear harmonic systems, and a first-order description of their operation can indeed be given on this basis, once we recognise a few inharmonic exceptions such as drums and bells. A closer examination, however, shows that the reality is very different from this. Sustained-tone instruments, such as violins, flutes and trumpets, have resonators that are only approximately harmonic, and their operation and harmonic sound spectrum both rely upon the extreme nonlinearity of their driving mechanisms. Such instruments might be described as ‘essentially nonlinear’. In impulsively excited instruments, such as pianos, guitars, gongs and cymbals, however, the nonlinearity is ‘incidental’, although it may produce striking aural results, including transitions to chaotic behaviour. This paper reviews the basic physics of a wide variety of musical instruments and investigates the role of nonlinearity in their operation. 0034-4885/99/050723+42$59.50 © 1999 IOP Publishing Ltd 723 724 N H Fletcher Contents Page 1.

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.

Dutilleux is best known for his approach towards orchestral timbre and color and his works exhibit an individual style that defies classification. This dissertation will be dedicated to exploring the interpretive issues presented in Henri Dutilleux’s composition for cello and orchestra, Tout un monde lointain… The quotations taken from Baudelaire’s poetry found in this score above each movement leave the performer with many unanswered interpretive questions. Through researching Dutilleux’s use of quotation in other scores, examining the intricacies of Baudelaire’s poetry and considering the existing publications pertaining to his concerto, one will be considerably better equipped to answer the varying questions sense of mystery raised by these quotations. Such analysis will aid one in interpreting and executing his concerto with a heightened understanding of Dutilleux’s musical language within the aesthetics and context he provides through his quotations of Baudelaire.
