  • 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).

  • PROGRAM NOTES Antonio Vivaldi Piccolo Concerto in C Major, RV
    PROGRAM NOTES Antonio Vivaldi Born March 4, 1678, Venice, Italy. Died July 28, 1741, Vienna, Austria. Piccolo Concerto in C Major, RV 443 Details regarding the composition and first performance of this concerto are unknown. The concerto is scored for piccolo and string orchestra with harpsichord. Performance time is approximately twelve minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first performance of Vivaldi's Piccolo Concerto, RV 443 was given on a special June Festival concert at Orchestra Hall on June 9, 1966, with Walfrid Kujala as soloist and Antonio Janigro conducting. Our only previous subscription concert performances of this concerto were given on May 6, 7, and 8, 1982, also with Kujala and with Sir Georg Solti conducting. The Orchestra first performed this work at the Ravinia Festival on July 13, 1969, under Antonio Janigro, and most recently on August 11, 1973, under Lawrence Foster, with Kujala as soloist on both occasions. A 1966 performance of Vivaldi's C major piccolo concerto with Walfrid Kujala as soloist and Antonio Janigro conducting is included in From the Archives, vol. 21. The most original, popular, and influential Italian composer of his time, Vivaldi was very quickly forgotten. Within a hundred years of his death, he had achieved the ultimate fate of most composers—complete oblivion. After he was finally rediscovered in the early twentieth century, and eventually became one of the most performed of all composers again, he often was written off as excessively prolific and facile. Stravinsky famously dismissed his entire career as "the same concerto four hundred times," an assessment that was not just unkind, but also unfair.

Anyone who has a very good ear who wants to dedicate time to practicing In band or orchestra, one of the strongest players in the section as it is a solo part and requires confidence Placement of the piccolo in band Best in second row next to the Eb Clarinet player. Conductors don’t necessarily hear the same balance that is heard out in the hall so placement further away from the conductor is better Role of the piccolo in band Icing on the cake as highest voice in band Adds color, humor and at times lyricism Differences between flute and piccolo Just because one can play flute well, doesn’t mean they can play piccolo well Differences in response and intonation Some upper register can be flat on piccolo as opposed to flute Smaller margin of error for pitch on piccolo Placement on lip higher than on flute Demands more endurance and strength Use of air-not as much is required on piccolo. Sometimes necessary to expel air while playing as oboe players often do How flute playing helps piccolo playing Keeps embouchure more relaxed Technique How piccolo playing helps flute playing Builds endurance especially in upper register

  • Dissertation Chapter 4 for Peter Westbrook
    The 19th-Century French Five-Key Flute and the Modern Boehm-System Flute in Cuban Charanga by Jessica Valiente Of interest to many flutists working in charanga is the kind of flute that is commonly associated with the genre. For those who are not familiar with the term, a charanga is a Cuban dance-music ensemble consisting of a solo flute lead, vocals, violins, piano, bass, congas, and timbales. It has a history that reaches back 100 years,1 and it is most strongly associated with Cuban popular dance styles such as the danzón, the mambo, the chachachá, and the pachanga. This dance music ensemble achieved international popularity, beginning in the 1950’s. Charanga has a characteristic that distinguishes it from most other western music styles that utilize the flute today. Charanga flutists play in an extraordinarily high register, inhabiting the third and fourth octaves most of the time, seldom venturing down into the second octave. This is because charanga developed at a time before sound amplification. As the lead voice, the flute must be heard over a large ensemble that includes at least two (frequently three) percussionists. The high register cuts through the din. Unfortunately, many flutists today are not usually aware of the fingerings for notes more than a whole step into the fourth octave. Charanga flutists 1 For more about charanga, there are graduate theses by John Murphy, Danilo Lozano, Ruth Witmer, myself, and a monograph by Sue Miller, listed in the Suggested Reading section at the end of this article. 1 have had to create the necessary technique via experimentation.

  • Info Sheet Piccolo 2 for an Article on Embouchure Holes) Should Be Used When Playing Traditional Irish Music
    STEVE TADD WOODWIND REPAIRS (.co.uk) 07734 543011 Traditional ‘Irish’ Marching Band and Session Flutes (Nov 2017) There is no such thing as a ‘traditional’ Irish Flute but there is a traditional style of playing (defined by metre, articulation, tone, and ornamentation) that is much easier to achieve on some instruments compared to others. Irish ‘Session’ Flutes These are simple system ‘concert’ flutes pitched in ‘C’ (originally used in concert bands and Orchestras) and are often used nowadays to play traditional Irish dance music. The naming system for these flutes is based on the orchestral naming system – the instrument is named according to what note is actually heard when the note referred to as ‘C’ on the instrument is played – so whether the lowest note is D or C these flutes are ‘in C’ (in contrast the note referred to as C on Tenor Sax actually sounds a Bb - so Tenor Saxes are ‘in Bb’). With study and close attention to detail the metres and articulation of traditional Irish dance music can be replicated on any Flute, it is the tone and ornamentation which is more problematic. A wooden Flute is considered to produce a more traditional tone and certainly at least a wooden head- joint (with a traditional embouchure – refer to Info sheet Piccolo 2 for an article on Embouchure holes) should be used when playing traditional Irish music. The ornamentation used in traditional Irish Flute playing ought to mimic the ornamentation used when playing the Tin whistle and Uillean pipes; not only is this different from modern Flute ornamentation but it is acoustically impossible to achieve on all but true Simple System Flutes.
