Grooversity is fun, interactive and inclusive. Every person and instrument is equally important and essential for the ensemble.

  • 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).

A time came where I jumped the fence 20 years ago to perform and tour with Paul Simon and I am still with him. That experience along with a lifetime of interest and devotion to our planet’s diversity led me to Under One Sun. Ever since my earliest days back in Cleveland and long before I actually understood the importance of it, the idea for a group like Under One Sun had been in my mind. So, as my musical journey led me from one continent to another, and I experienced a planet crying out for understanding of “the other,” over time this team of players cosmically came forward. It was my way of saying “we can celebrate because we want to find common ground and celebrate our differences.” It took a minute, but I eventually assembled opportunities so we could all meet and share our respective music.

  • Instrument: Pandeiro, a Carnival Tambourine Country: Brazil
    ROOTS OF RHYTHM: EXTENSIONS - CHAPTER 1: THE PANDEIRO FROM BRAZIL Instrument: Pandeiro, a Carnival tambourine Country: Brazil Flag: The green Brazilian flag features a large yellow diamond in the center with a blue celestial globe. Twenty-seven white five-pointed stars represent each of 26 states and the Federal District. The stars are arranged in the same pattern as the night sky over Brazil. The globe has a white equatorial band with the motto ORDEM E PROGRESSO, which means Order and Progress in Portuguese. Size and Population: Brazil is the largest country in South America. It has a total area of 3,286,488 square miles, making it slightly smaller than the United States. It occupies almost half of the subcontinent of South America, and it is the fifth largest country in the world. As of July 2005 Brazil had an estimated population of 186,112,794, the sixth largest in the world. About three fourths of Brazil’s population lives in urban areas and mostly along the coast. São Paulo, with over seven million inhabitants, is the seventh largest city in the world. There is considerable diversity in the population: it includes 55 percent white (including Portuguese, Germans, Italians, Spanish, and Polish), 38 percent mixed white and black, 6 percent black, and 1 percent others (including Japanese, Arabs, and Amerindians). Brazil's Indian population of over 200,000 live mainly in the northeastern Amazon region. Geography and Climate: The landscape of Brazil is mostly flat with some rolling lowlands in the north and some plains, hills, mountains, and a narrow belt on the coast.

  • Pandeiro 1 Pandeiro
    Pandeiro 1 Pandeiro Pandeiro Other names Pandeiro, drums Classification hand percussion Playing range High sound of jingles, plus some have a skin with a lower sound. Related instruments Riq, Buben, Dayereh, Daf, Kanjira, Frame drum The pandeiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [pɐ̃ˈdejɾu]) is a type of hand frame drum. There are two important distinctions between a pandeiro and the common tambourine. The tension of the head on the pandeiro can be tuned, allowing the player a choice of high and low notes. Also, the metal jingles (called platinelas in Portuguese) are cupped, creating a crisper, drier and less sustained tone on the pandeiro than on the tambourine. This provides clarity when swift, complex rhythms are played. It is held in one hand, and struck on the head by the other hand to produce the sound. Typical pandeiro patterns are played by alternating the thumb, fingertips, heel, and palm of the hand. A pandeiro can also be shaken to make sound, or one can run a finger along the head to create a "rasp" noise. The pandeiro is used in a number of Brazilian music forms, such as Samba, Choro, Coco, and Capoeira music (see Capoeira songs). The Brazilian pandeiro derives from the pandeireta or pandereta of Spain and Portugal. Some of the best-known pandeiro players today are Paulinho Da Costa, Airto Moreira, Marcos Suzano, Cyro Baptista, and Carlinhos Pandeiro de Ouro. Artists such as Stanton Moore use it non-traditionally by tuning it low to sound like a floor tom with jingles, mounting it on a stand and integrating it into the modern drum kit.

Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.

This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled

  • Candomblé Rhythms for Drum Kit
    A Cannibalist's Manifesto: Candomblé Rhythms for Drum Kit Peter Alastair McGrath-Kerr ORCID: 0000-0002-8965-7046 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Melbourne Conservatorium of Music Faculty of Fine Arts and Music University of Melbourne May, 2019 Abstract Afro-Brazilian rhythms from the tradition of Candomblé have had a significant influence on Brazilian secular music. That influence can be found in samba, choro, Brazilian jazz, and popular music. Although Candomblé and associated musical practices have been investigated by musicologists and sociologists, the rhythmic and contemporary performance aspects are poorly represented in academia. As an Australian musician with a long-time interest in Brazilian music, it became a natural progression for me to develop an interest in the rhythms that form the basis of so much Brazilian music. As a drummer, my research has involved the adaptation of traditional drumming practices to the modern drum kit, with an emphasis on groove creation and improvisation. This is a creative research project that combines recordings with analysis. My processes and outcomes will in part be analysed relative to Oswaldo de Andrade's Manifesto Antropofágico (the Cannibalist Manifesto) - where the cultural cannibal seeks to absorb multiple and diverse influences in order to create something new. 2 Statement of Originality I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purpose, and is fewer than the maximum word limit in length.

Why? Because you can be creative! Although there are time-honored traditions on how to play these instru- ments, in the last 30+ years we have seen and heard several variations on playing techniques and available sounds. Percussionists from around the world, in classical, pop, jazz, studio, and world music settings have been discovering and utilizing these other techniques with great success. It is important that you know and understand the basic playing techniques and available sounds first. These will serve you quite well in concert band, wind ensemble, and orchestral settings. Many of you will have the opportunity to play percussion in a jazz ensemble or perhaps in a band of your own. That’s where these performance variations will really come into play. These variations are based on the performance techniques of similar instruments from cultures around the world, and today’s orchestral players are finding many of these quite useful, too. The most important thing is to have fun! Try these only as a starting point – there is no limit to the use of your own creativity. Triangle When holding the triangle in a clip in the standard fashion, it is possible and often desirable to muffle the sound of the triangle with the heel and/or the fingers of the hand that is holding the clip. The following ex- ample is one way to attain a useful pattern using this technique.
