Kireilis Denton, Texas August, 1964 PREFACE It is the purpose of this thesis to present a study of music written for the clarinet during the period from 1600 to 1800. The first part is a history of the clarinet showing the stages of development of the instrument from its early predecessors to its present form, Part one also explains the acoustics of the clarinet and its actual invention. The second part deals with composers and their music for the clarinet. No attempt is made to include all music written for the instrument during the prescribed period; rather# the writerss intention is to include chiefly those works by composers whose music has proven to be outstanding in clarinet literature or interesting historically. The order in which the works themselves are taken up is chronological# by composers# with comment on their styles as to form, harmonic content, melodic content# rhythmic content, problems in phrasing, or any other general technical problem. All of these elements are illustrated with examples taken from the music, iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OFILLUSTRATIONS.*.......................... V Chapter I.

Keith Bowen Royal College of Music, London [email protected] ABSTRACT but their sounds have so far been mostly inaccessible, apart from the small number of restored instruments. Historical woodwind instruments in museums or The principle upon which the main methodology of private collections often cannot be played, by virtue of this paper is based is that the sound of a wind instrument their poor condition or the risk of damage. Acoustic is largely dominated by the shape of its air column, as impedance measurements may usually be performed on indicated by its resonance or ‘input impedance’ spectrum instruments in good condition, but only if they are in [6, 7]. This is not to say that the mouthpiece/reed is playable condition. Many museum specimens are unimportant, but that, at least up to the middle of the not. However, If the bore shape and tone holes are clarion register, it has a much smaller effect on the measured accurately, we are able to compute the acoustic intonation of each note than does the air column [8, 9]. impedance of the instrument for all fingerings.

Standard acoustic computational methods were pitch, intonation, temperament, fingerings, effects of bore used to calculate the impedance spectra for each note of shrinkage and even the timbre of the notes. A simple the instrument, and two tests of the accuracy were linear, plane- and spherical-wave computational model, performed: one by measuring the input impedance directly originally developed for calculating the acoustic in the laboratory, and the other by playing tests on the impedance of conical-bore woodwinds, is here applied to instrument, measuring the frequency of the note emitted at bass clarinets for the first time.

  • 1 Turkish Classical Clarinet Repertoire
    Turkish Classical Clarinet Repertoire: Performance, Accessibility, and Integration into the Canon, with a Performance Guide to Works by Edward J. Hines and Ahmet Adnan Saygun D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarah Elizabeth Korneisel Jaegers Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee Dr. Caroline A. Hartig, Advisor Dr. David Clampitt Professor Katherine Borst Jones Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson 1 Copyrighted by Sarah Elizabeth Korneisel Jaegers 2019 2 Abstract While American and western European works make up the majority of the classical clarinet repertoire known and studied in the West, works of Turkish origin are the focus of this document. Though over 100 pieces of Turkish classical clarinet repertoire exist, they are widely unknown to Western musicians, uncatalogued, and seldom performed. Consequently, although the clarinet is a staple of Turkish music and is extremely popular in the country’s folk tradition, classical clarinet music by Turkish composers remains difficult for Western musicians to find and acquire. The history of Anatolia as a cultural melting pot resulted in diverse and unique classical and folk musical traditions, both based on the makam modal system. Unlike the Western tradition, which developed twelve-tone equal temperament, the octave in the Turkish modal system comprises twenty-four unequally-spaced tones. The clarinet was introduced to Turkey by Giuseppe Donizetti (1788–1856), who traveled to Turkey at the behest of the sultanate to found European-style bands. Particularly appreciated was the clarinette d’amour, pitched in G.

I am using the term ‘Industrial Revolution’ in its widest sense – not necessarily from the first use of industrial machinery at Coalbrookdale, for example (the Industrial Revolution did start in England), or whatever other landmark of the beginnings of our modern age that a variety of people have used. What I have in mind is the change from a mainly rural, mainly feudal economy to an urban, partly industrial, economy, with two important, for us, concomitant changes: a rise in the level of tech- nology and the rise of an urban middle class.

Killinger ABC Practical Application #2 August 2006 A Beginner’s Approach to the Licorice Stick History of the Clarinet Th e clarinet dates back to the 1600s, to an instrument called the chalumeau (possibly French in origin). Th e chalumeau was a cane pipe measuring about nine inches long. It had seven holes, including a thumb hole, and a range of not much more than an octave. Its range was low and limited. Th e low range on the modern clarinet continues to be named for the chalumeau. Sometime in the 1700s, a German woodwind maker named Johann Denner improved the chalumeau and invented the early clarinet. Two keys were added to expand the range by giving it an upper register. Denner may have also given it a separate mouthpiece and reed. By 1750 the clarinet’s body had taken the basic shape we see today. By the 1820s clarinets had 12 to 13 keys and in 1850 the Boehm key system had been introduced. Th is key work system was currently being used on the fl ute and eliminated some very diffi cult fi ngerings. Th e Boehm system placed each hole so that each note would have the same tone quality and made a key system to cover all of the holes. It was a success and became popular around the world, replacing the Albert system which is still used in some parts of Europe.

  • TED LEWIS - an INTERVIEW in Conversation with James A
    TED LEWIS - AN INTERVIEW In conversation with James A. Drake A commercial and academic author and retired college president, James A. Drake earned the Ph.D. degree from the Ohio State University. To earn “pocket money,” Drake played piano and clarinet in a pub near the Ohio State campus. “I was the back-up ragtime pianist when the owner of the place, who was a fine pianist, took a night off,” Drake recalled, “but I was mainly the clarinetist in the small band that he hired to play there. Because I had studied clarinet with a well-known local teacher, I regarded it as ‘my’ instrument, so I collected recordings of the great jazz clarinets—especially Ted Lewis, whom I had met when he gave a show at the Ohio State Fair in the 1950s.” In 1968, through an Ohio State professor, Jerome D. Folkman, the rabbi of Temple Israel in Columbus and a personal friend of Ted Lewis, Drake conducted what became one of the most thorough interviews that Lewis ever gave. During the next ten years, with funding from pioneer recording director and arranger-conductor Gustave Haenschen, Drake conducted similarly detailed interviews with clarinets Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Jimmy Lytell and Barney Bigard, among others. “Each of these legendary clarinetists had very different perspectives about their instrument and their careers,” Drake said. “Most of them were not ‘fans’ of Ted Lewis’s clarinet style, but all of them acknowledged and respected him as a pioneer in popularizing jazz as a musical form.” Ted Lewis, aboard ship returning from Europe, 1928.
