Montagu, c/o Faculty of Music, St. Aldate's Oxford OX1 1DB, U. K. Bull. 76, p. 2 FELLOWSHIP of MAKERS and RESEARCHERS of HISTORICAL INSTRUMENTS Bulletin 76 July, 1994 There's a reasonable stock of Qs this quarter, but very little has come in for the Bulletin, so this will be quite a short one. With luck you'll get it more on time than usual because I'm off on holiday on Tuesday (5th) so I've had to get everything well ahead and it will, I hope go off to Eph right on the deadline for once. FURTHER TO: BuH.75: The Clavichord Society got off to a good start, with about twice as many people turning up for the inaugural meeting here as they had expected, and at least forty people signed up on the spot. If you're interested, the address is in the last Bulletin. The Galpin Society/Historic Brass Society meeting in Edinburgh was also a great success; a lot of very good papers which we hope will get published in due course. The Brass ones are likely to turn up in the HBS Journal which, if you're involved in brass at all, you should subscribe to, for it's usually first rate. The Keyboard ones are less certain of a home, for the Galpin Journal is fairly full for the next year or two already. If I hear of anything, as I probably shall, I'll let you know. I made an error, Yvonne Segerman told me (I don't know why she didn't put it in the Bulletin Supplement) that West Dean were certainly still doing the Easter courses. OBITUARY: You will find an oibituary here for Michael Morrow, to whom I owe more than I can say. Another member and friend whom we have lost is Dave Way, who rescued and built up Zucker- man Harpsichords after Zuckerman himself retired. I call him a friend though we only met two or three times, when he was over for the Horticultural Hall Exhibitions, but we had long and highly entertaining correspondence (you only saw the more formal bits of it); we should be very restricted if we could only call 'friends' the people whom we know face to face. He was great fun and, of course he did much for the keyboard world for which we have to be thankful. We have had formal obituaries for him in the keyboard journals by people who knew him better than I did - for me, the best is what I've said: he was great fun and we owe him much. ELECTRONIC MAIL: There are some more addresses in the Memblist Supplement herewith, and there's at least one Comm in this Q which came in that way. I am gettiong mroe used to it and better at it and, if I can find out how to do it, the fourteen or so people that I've got e- mail addresses for might get this Bull plus everything else of mine by e-mail. I know how to send single messges of course; what I've got to find out is how to send them to a group of people, some of whom are on JANET, some on CompuServe, and so on. Any others of you who are wired in, do let me know, it is so much faster a means of comrnmunication, and usually cheaper than stamps. A WARNING: If you are asked to supply photographs or transparencies to an American televi­ sion and film outfit caled DIC Entertainment in Burbank, or a picture researcher called Mary Gradinger, DONT. After some struggle I have got my transparency back, but I've not been paid for it, its hire, its postage, or anything. They say they'll pay, but that was months ago. Safer to say no (which some other museums had done, which is why they asked me!). Bull. 76, p. 3 HARPSICHORD A FORTEPIANO: This magazine is being revived by Peacock Press. I did make a note, but now can't put a hand on it, when they said the first issue of the new version would appear, I think it was October. They have said, I think very generosuly, that anyone who has, or reckons they have, subscription to the old version outstanding, will have that honoured with the new one. Get in touch, saying I told you to, with Jeremy Burbidge, Peacock Press, Scout Bottom Farm, Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire HX7 5JS, UK; 01422- 882751; fax 01422-886157. STOLEN INSTRUMENTS: A number of instruments were stolen on 7th June from a house in West Yorkshire: Baroque violins: Michael Andreas Parti, Vienna, 1759, bridge marked Irving; 18th c Tyrolean, high arched; Amati model by Jurran van Roon, 1986. Violas: 17th c, very flat model, cut down from a larger one; late 18th c, bridge marked Hodgson. Viola d'amore, German c.1800 7+6 strings. Bows: fluted snakewood by Roger Rose; octagonal by W Mettal; violin silver mounted by Hill A Sons; octagonal viola by W Mettal; very light viol bow. If you see any of these, please call Duncan Druce 0484-683158 or Huddersfield Police 0484-422122. Also still missing are Tom Wess's two instruments: a bentside model clavichord, 4 octave, red inside, black outside, and a mahogany psaltery. PLANS: A new list from the Royal College herewith. The Bate now has two harpsichord plans: William Smith, London, c.1720, single manual, possibly that in the Mercier 974 portrait of Handel. Audrey Blackman Bequest. Measured A drawn Howard Nelson £ 30.00 Joannes Goermans, Paris, 1750, double manual, soundboard, casework, 983 A interior only, ex-Michael Thomas, gift of the Austin & Hope Pilkington Trust. Measured & drawn Christopher Nobbs £ 20.00 Because of the cost A weight of tubes, we must charge postage on harpsichord plans: £4.00 in UK, £5.00 by surface abroad, £10 by air. In fact the tubes are a flaming nuisance; the plans are just 25mm over the metre; I can't find any cardboard tubes that long so I'm using pla­ stic drain pipe. A 2-metre pipe would only give one tube, so I'm cutting up 3-metre pipe. Anybody want any tubular bow- or flute-cases? Internal diameter is 38mm. Also from the Royal College information about their portraits and so on. They have an enor­ mous collection of portraits, programmes, cuttings, music publishers' catalogues, and so on and so forth, and it is surprisingly little known and even more surprisingly little used when you consi­ der what's there. Because anything that's little used is under threat nowadays from pig-minded accountants, they'd be very glad indeed if you would use it for anything that might be relevant. OFFERS: The Strad would like to list string people free in its directory. If you're interested, get in touch with Allison Dowsett, The Strad Directory, Orpheus Publications, Bank House, 7 St John's Road, Harrow, Middx HA1 2EE. Do it fairly quick; I think we're near the deadline. QUERIES: Oliver Dorman of 236 Stoke Newington Church Street, London N16 is researching into early guitar machine heads, on which he says he can't find any publications. He would be grateful for any help and for any information on makers such as Baker, Ranee, Jerome and Lacote. EXHIBITIONS, FESTIVALS, etc: The Paris Conservatoire (I'm getting confused, we've now got three adresses for them: this one, th eone in the List of Members, and one that we've just Bull. 76, p. 4 been sent for delivery of the Q; if any one can sort me out I'd be grateful) has a three day International Early Music Exhibition at Cite de la Musique, La Villette.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy o f a document sent to us for microHlming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify m " '<ings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyriglited materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper le ft hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections w ith small overlaps.

  • Oboe Trios: an Annotated Bibliography
    Oboe Trios: An Annotated Bibliography by Melissa Sassaman A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved November 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Martin Schuring, Chair Elizabeth Buck Amy Holbrook Gary Hill ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2014 ABSTRACT This project is a practical annotated bibliography of original works for oboe trio with the specific instrumentation of two oboes and English horn. Presenting descriptions of 116 readily available oboe trios, this project is intended to promote awareness, accessibility, and performance of compositions within this genre. The annotated bibliography focuses exclusively on original, published works for two oboes and English horn. Unpublished works, arrangements, works that are out of print and not available through interlibrary loan, or works that feature slightly altered instrumentation are not included. Entries in this annotated bibliography are listed alphabetically by the last name of the composer. Each entry includes the dates of the composer and a brief biography, followed by the title of the work, composition date, commission, and dedication of the piece. Also included are the names of publishers, the length of the entire piece in minutes and seconds, and an incipit of the first one to eight measures for each movement of the work. In addition to providing a comprehensive and detailed bibliography of oboe trios, this document traces the history of the oboe trio and includes biographical sketches of each composer cited, allowing readers to place the genre of oboe trios and each individual composition into its historical context. Four appendices at the end include a list of trios arranged alphabetically by composer’s last name, chronologically by the date of composition, and by country of origin and a list of publications of Ludwig van Beethoven's oboe trios from the 1940s and earlier.

  • Selva De Varii Passaggi
    Francesco Rognoni Selva de Varii Passaggi (1620) Avvertimenti alli Benigni Lettori Translated by Sion M. Honea 1 Translator’s Preface We must be grateful for Rognoni’s book, but it must also stand as something of an enigmatic anachronism. Rognoni’s exact dates are uncertain, but he was no doubt middle-aged by 1620, the date of publication. His father Riccardo had published his own book in 1592, at what seems to have been the height, or more likely the last flowering of the diminution technique in the 1590’s, along with those of Conforto, Bovicelli and Zacconi. Maffei had produced the essential document on the subject in 1562 and Caccini delivered the first blow to, or perhaps the eulogy on it in 1601, dismissing it as an irrelevant anachronism from a bygone age. This in fact it was. In a sense, the practice has more in common with the several techniques of improvised counterpoint on chant melodies that medieval choristers trained in, and even seems rather a holdover as applied to the renaissance motet or madrigal. It was a technique of thrillingly virtuosic potential but essentially barren of internal emotional significance. Rognoni himself realized this, it seems, and presents a startling indictment of singers who saw themselves, their voices and their technique of greater value than the words and the affect. More importantl evidence of his understanding is that his book begins with his superb presentation of the types of ornaments that Caccini’s new emotional performance used. Then it moves on to the diminution technique as incorporating these elements of the new style.1 The book is in two parts, the first for voice and the second for instruments.

SZÁZADI ÉS A KORTÁRS ZENÉBEN DLA DOKTORI ÉRTEKEZÉS 2011 Absztrakt A disszertáció megírásában a fő motiváció a hiánypótlás volt, hiszen a kelet-ázsiai régió duplanádas hangszereiről nincs átfogó, ismeretterjesztő tudományos munka sem magyarul, sem más nyelveken. A hozzáférhető irodalom a teljes témának csak egyes részeit öleli fel és többnyire valamelyik kelet-ázsiai nyelven íródott. A disszertáció második felében a hichiriki (japán duplanádas hangszer) és a kortárs zene viszonya kerül bemutatásra, mely szintén aktuális és eleddig fel nem dolgozott téma. A hichiriki olyan hangszer, mely nagyjából eredeti formájában maradt fenn a 7. századtól napjainkig. A hagyomány előírja, hogy a viszonylag szűk repertoárt pontosan milyen módon kell előadni, és ez az előadásmód több száz éve gyakorlatilag változatlannak tekinthető. Felmerül a kérdés, hogy egy ilyen hangszer képes-e a megújulásra, integrálható-e a 20. századi és a kortárs zenébe. A dolgozat első részében a hozzáférhető szakirodalom segítségével a szerző áttekintést nyújt a duplanádas hangszerekről, bemutatja a két alapvető duplanádas hangszertípust, a hengeres és kúpos furatú duplanádas hangszereket, majd részletesen ismerteti a kelet-ázsiai régió duplanádas hangszereit és kitér a hangszerek akusztikus tulajdonságaira is. A dolgozat második részéhez a szerző összegyűjtötte a fellelhető, hichiriki-re íródott 20. századi és kortárs darabok kottáit és hangfelvételeit, és ezek elemzésével mutat rá a hangszerjáték új vonásaira.

  • Oboe in Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 OboeinOxfordMusicOnline Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Oboe article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/40450 Oboe (Fr. hautbois ; Ger. Oboe ; It. oboe ). Generic term in the system of Hornbostel and Sachs for an aerophone with a double (concussion) reed (for detailed classification see AEROPHONE ). The name is taken from that of the principal treble double-reed instrument of Western art music (see §II below). I. General 1. Oboes. The AULOS of ancient Greece may sometimes have had a double reed, and some kind of reed aerophone was known in North Africa in pre-Islamic times. Instruments of the SURNĀY type became established with the spread of the Arab empire around the end of the first millennium CE; they were possibly a synthesis of types from Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria and Asia Minor. From there the instrument, then used in a military role, spread into conquered areas and areas of influence: to India, and later, under the Ottoman empire, to Europe (around the time of the fifth crusade, 1217–21; there may already have been bagpipes with double reeds there) and further into Asia (to China in the 14th century). As the instrument spread, it came to be made of local materials and fashioned according to local preferences in usage, shape and decoration: the ŚAHNĀĪ of north India has a flared brass bell; the SARUNAI of Sumatra has a palm leaf reed and a bell of wood or buffalo horn; the ALGAITA of West Africa is covered with leather and has four or five finger-holes.

  • Fagott Performance — Improvisation Intuition Transformation
    Maria Brigitte Gstättner-Heckel Fagott Performance — Improvisation Intuition Transformation Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Künste – Dr. artium aus der Studienrichtung Künstlerisches Doktoratsstudium an der Kunstuniversität Graz V 795 640 (Dr.-Studium der Künste, Instrumentalstudium) Matrikelnummer: 9671036 Betreuerinnen und Betreuer: Univ. Prof. Dr. Christa Brüstle Univ. Prof. Gerald Preinfalk Univ. Prof. Dr. Doris Ingrisch Univ. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Rüdiger Wien, am 31. Juli 2016 1 2 3 4 Abstract Deutsch In der vorliegenden Arbeit Fagott Performance – Improvisation, Intuition, Transforma- tion wird einerseits die Performance des Fagotts – to perform, engl.: auftreten, auffüh- ren, vorführen, vollziehen – untersucht. Dabei geht es einerseits um die Verwendung des Instruments, das heißt wie wird es eingesetzt, welche Spieltechniken sind möglich. Anderseits werden in der Arbeit vier Performances (Werke, in welchen sich Bewegung, Musik, Text, Malerei, sogenannte interdisziplinäre Settings, zu szenischen Assoziationen verbinden) dargestellt, in denen das Fagott als Instrument fungiert. Bei der Konzipierung und Durchführung der dargestellten Performances steht musikalische Improvisation im Zentrum, die in dieser Arbeit als Schwerpunkt behandelt worden ist. Die Themenfelder Improvisation, Interpretation, Transformation, Intuition werden wissenschaftlich reflek- tiert. Zur sinnlichen Darstellung und als ein Ergebnis von „Kunst als epistemische Praxis“ (Dieter Mersch) wurde für die Arbeit eine Komposition (windmills) verfasst, die im letz- ten Teil der künstlerischen Dissertation kommentiert und abgedruckt ist. Die vier in der Arbeit besprochenen Performances sowie die Komposition windmills werden im Anhang als Videomittschnitte auf einem USB-Stick beigegeben. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist als ein künstlerisches Doktorat in der Sparte Musik angesiedelt und entstand aus dem Instrumen- talfach Fagott. Abstract English The roots of the word ‚performance‘ combine the idea of ‚form‘ with an Old French word meaning ‚to provide completely‘.

  • I PERCY GRAINGER's
    PERCY GRAINGER’S “HILL-SONG NR. 1”: A CRITICAL EDITION, WIND BAND TRANSCRIPTION, AND PHRASAL ANALYSIS BY JOSEPH C. CLARK THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Music in Wind Band Conducting in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Dr. Stephen G. Peterson i ABSTRACT Percy Grainger never had the opportunity to hear his original scoring of “Hill-Song Nr. 1”, since he considered the instrumentation of two piccolos, six oboes, six English horns, six bassoons, and contrabassoon to be too infeasible. Indeed, he only ever produced a manuscript score of this version, and there is no evidence that parts were produced during his lifetime. Subsequent arrangements were made and published for piano four-hands and chamber orchestra (although this has yet to be premiered in its intended instrumentation). While his “Hill-Song Nr. 2” was published in a variety of scorings and is fairly well-known in the wind band world, “Hill-Song Nr. 1” has languished, despite the high regard in the band community for Grainger’s pieces. In order to raise the profile of such an early yet forward-looking piece in the Grainger oeuvre, this paper presents a critical edition of the original scoring for performance use, a transcription for full modern wind band for use with a wide variety of instrumentations, and an analysis to aid conductors through the wayward score. In doing so, it is hoped that the piece will begin to become more widely known and performed.

I'd been in and around Munich during my very first visit to Europe back about1970, and even had a chance to play the old organ (since replaced) in Benediktbeuron. This was a revelation to a young student who had never before laid hands on an old keyboard, nor thought about how one must phrase and the tempos one must adopt when playing into a voluminous room with a lengthy acoustic decay.
