A woodwind instrument with a thumb-hole and (generally) seven finger-holes. It is the chief Western member of the class of duct flutes, i.e. flutes with a whistle mouthpiece, being distinguished from most other members particularly by its thumb-hole. Invented (or imported to Europe) during the Middle Ages, it was one of the most common wind instruments of the Renaissance and continued to play an important role in the Baroque. After being little used during the Classical and Romantic periods, it was resuscitated in the early 20th century and featured prominently in the early-music revival. Today it is a widely popular educational and amateur instrument and has attracted a skilled body of professionals. Recorders are made in different sizes, with compasses corresponding to different vocal ranges. There are four main instruments in use today: the descant (known in the USA as the ‘soprano’; lowest note c″); treble (in the USA ‘alto’; lowest note f′), tenor (lowest note c′) and bass ( f). Sopranino ( f″) and great bass ( c) instruments are also fairly common. The treble and tenor are written for as non-transposing instruments, but music for the sopranino, descant, bass and great bass is customarily written an octave below their sounding pitch. See also ORGAN STOP . I. The instrument 1. Nomenclature. The verb ‘to record’, meaning ‘to remember for oneself, to recall to another’, derives from the Latin recordari , ‘to remember’; thus a recorder was a rememberer or relater, such as a minstrel or, by extension, his instrument (E.

  • For Most Musicians, Building and Maintaining a Career Substantial
    For most musicians, building and maintaining a career substantial enough to last two decades would be an accomplishment worthy of recognition and deserving of celebration. However, while we celebrate Chatham Baroque’s 20 years of excellence, we do so fully understanding that for this group – rightly described as “one of Pittsburgh’s greatest treasures” – time has a different relevance. Today, they mark the grand finale of their 20th season with the Pittsburgh premiere of J.S. Bach’s 1725 St. John Passion. Like much of what Chatham Baroque does, this piece is not well known to modern audiences. Like much of what they have been doing for two decades, they will interpret this music from the 18th century with period instruments and somehow make it relevant to 21st century listeners. That is who they are and that is what they do. At UPMC Health Plan we have always taken seriously our responsibility to help our members enjoy the best quality of life possible. That is why we support Chatham Baroque, a true civic institution that has consistently shown us that quality is not only a priceless commodity, but a timeless one, too. Diane P.

  • Rafael Puyana Will Present a Program of Baroque Music for the Harpsichord in La Jolla on May 5
    Rafael Puyana will present a program of Baroque music for the harpsichord in La Jolla on May 5 April 26, 1962 Rafael Puyana, young musician of South America, will present a program of Baroque music for the harpsichord in La Jolla Saturday night, May 5. Puyana will appear at Sherwood Hall, Art Center in La Jolla, under the auspices of the University of California's All-University Concert Series, at 8:30 p.m. He will play an instrument specially built to his specifications by Pleyel of Paris. The program will include "Sarabande Grave en Rondeau," by Gaspard Le Roux (166o-1710), "Branie Gay," by Jean Baptiste Besard (1567-c.1625), "Tombeau de M. de Blancrocher," by Louis Couperin (c.1626-1661), "Musette de Choisi," by Francois Couperin (1668-1733), "Pavana Dolorosa," by Peter Philips (c.156o-1628), "The King's Hunt," by John Bull, "Concerto in D Minor," by J. S. Bach (1685-1750), "Balli d'Arpicordo (Venice, 1621)," by Giovanni Picchi, and two sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757). Tickets for the event are $1.00 for students, $2-50 general admission. They are on sale at the Art Center, at University Extension in downtown San Diego, and on the San Diego campus. Born in Bogota, Colombia, Puyana developed a special love for the music of the early composers and longed to play it on the harpsichord for which it was written, although he had never heard or seen the instrument. It was not until he entered the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston that he touched the keys of a harpsichord for the first time, and it was instantly apparent that his was a genuine affinity for the instrument.
