  • 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).

  • SILK ROAD: the Silk Road
    SILK ROAD: The Silk Road (or Silk Routes) is an extensive interconnected network of trade routes across the Asian continent connecting East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean world, as well as North and Northeast Africa and Europe. FIDDLE/VIOLIN: Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers (see below). Their two-stringed upright fiddles called morin khuur were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The morin khuur produces a sound that is poetically described as “expansive and unrestrained”, like a wild horse neighing, or like a breeze in the grasslands. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the Erhu, the Chinese violin or 2-stringed fiddle, was introduced to China over a thousand years ago and probably came to China from Asia to the west along the silk road. The sound box of the Ehru is covered with python skin. The erhu is almost always tuned to the interval of a fifth. The inside string (nearest to player) is generally tuned to D4 and the outside string to A4. This is the same as the two middle strings of the violin. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The violin family developed during the Renaissance period in Europe (16th century) when all arts flourished.

Thank you for allowing us to show what we do and how we do it. Our program works for our situation in Winfield and we hope portions of it will work for your program. Let’s start with a song and then we will time warp into year one of our program. SONG – Prelude in E minor YEAR 1 – All those instruments The Winfield Band program, my philosophy has been that rhythm is the key to success. I tell all band students “You can learn the notes and fingerings fine, but without good rhythm, no one will understand what you are playing.” This is also true in folkloric music. Faster does not mean you are a better player. How well you communicate musically establishes your level of proficiency. Our first lessons with all band students are clapping exercises I design and lessons from the Goldenberg Percussion method book. Without the impedance of embouchure, fingerings and the thought of dropping a $500 instrument on the floor, the student becomes completely focused on rhythmic study. For the first percussion lesson, the focus is also rhythmic. Without the need for lips, we play hand percussion immediately. For the first Western rudiment, we play paradiddles on conga drums or bongos (PLAY HERE). All percussion students must say paradiddle while they play it.

  • The World Atlas of Musical Instruments
    Musik_001-004_GB 15.03.2012 16:33 Uhr Seite 3 (5. Farbe Textschwarz Auszug) The World Atlas of Musical Instruments Illustrations Anton Radevsky Text Bozhidar Abrashev & Vladimir Gadjev Design Krassimira Despotova 8 THE CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUMENTS THE STUDY OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, their history, evolution, construction, and systematics is the subject of the science of organology. Its subject matter is enormous, covering practically the entire history of humankind and includes all cultural periods and civilizations. The science studies archaeological findings, the collections of ethnography museums, historical, religious and literary sources, paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Organology is indispensable for the development of specialized museum and amateur collections of musical instruments. It is also the science that analyzes the works of the greatest instrument makers and their schools in historical, technological, and aesthetic terms. The classification of instruments used for the creation and performance of music dates back to ancient times. In ancient Greece, for example, they were divided into two main groups: blown and struck. All stringed instruments belonged to the latter group, as the strings were “struck” with fingers or a plectrum. Around the second century B. C., a separate string group was established, and these instruments quickly acquired a leading role. A more detailed classification of the three groups – wind, percussion, and strings – soon became popular. At about the same time in China, instrument classification was based on the principles of the country’s religion and philosophy. Instruments were divided into eight groups depending on the quality of the sound and on the material of which they were made: metal, stone, clay, skin, silk, wood, gourd, and bamboo.

  • Draft List of Terms for Supplemental Unit and Activities Unit
    Further Research for Turkish Music The modern Republic of Turkey is in a part of the world that has been home to many groups of people. Coastal Anatolia was home to the ancient city of Troy, the Greek colonies in Ionia, and the Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire. At its largest, the Ottoman Empire included parts of North Africa, Eastern Europe, Anatolia, and a large area of the Middle East, including Mecca and Medina in the Arabian Peninsula. Because the Ottomans allowed the different peoples living under the Sultan to keep their culture and Religion, they kept their identities. Because of this, people from all of these areas are still living in modern Turkey. Istanbul, the largest and most cosmopolitan city, has populations of Turks, Greeks, Kurds, Arabs, Armenians, Persians, Roma, and Bulgarians, just to name a few. Music is an excellent window into the culture and society of a particular people, or in this case a particular area. We can use many of the topics that come up in talking about music to expand our knowledge of the people who play the music in addition to the music itself. Here, we will explore some of the important terms that came up when we looked at a few of the instruments in Turkey. Some important questions to ask about music and music making: This list is far from complete. It is a good example of the kinds of questions we can ask about music to learn more about it. What: What is the music for? What does the music sound like? What do the players and audiences find important about the music? Who:

Percussion I has the leading role throughout the piece. It should not be overpowered by the other instruments at any moment. The tempo markings in parentheses are approximated. Ideally, the rhythmic flow should feel flexible. Any fermata should not last more than 5 seconds. The individual parts include an instrumental glossary. Duration up to the performers Square fermata: Duration in seconds is notated above the symbol Roll accelerando or ritardando independentely from the tempo indications for the ensemble. Program Notes: by Catalina Villamarín What makes a conga drum what it is? What gives it its distinctive round, earthy sound? Would it be possible to turn any instrument into a conga drum? CONGANESS plays with these questions, and sets out to make a conga drum out of the combination of all the instruments in this percussion quartet. The foundation of CONGANESS was the spectrographic analysis of the four strokes found in a conga-drum salsa pattern: a tumbadora open stroke, a conga-drum open stroke, a conga-drum slap stroke and a conga-drum muffled stroke. The most prominent frequencies of each of these sounds were approximated to the closest pitches available, becoming the palette of sounds with which the piece was built.

  • Misirli Ahmet: the Clay Darbuka Technique and Its Performance Analysis
    RAST MÜZİKOLOJİ DERGİSİ Uluslararası Müzikoloji Dergisi www.rastmd.com MISIRLI AHMET: THE CLAY DARBUKA TECHNIQUE AND ITS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS Esra Karaol1 Nilgün Doğrusöz2 ABSTRACT Although its roots are seen in ancient times and despite the fact that it plays a huge role in the historical developments of Turkish and world music, the darbuka and its performance have not been extensively taken under musicological studies. This article is about the performance analysis of the darbuka techniques developed by Misirli Ahmet and studied under the light of the fact that the existing musical discourse has been transferred from teacher to student through ages orally. Parallel to the cultural changes, the advancement of civilizations throughout the course of history, the emergence of the instrument has shown differences. Therefore the material of the clay darbuka has been the most important factor affecting the different techniques of playing the instrument. The reason why we emphasize on the performance analysis is that it is of fundamental importance to make observations and decipher its characteristics within the discipline of musical theory. Keywords: Mısırlı (Egyptian) Ahmet, clay darbuka, split finger technique. MISIRLI AHMET: TOPRAK DARBUKA TEKNİĞİ VE İCRA ANALİZİ ÖZET Kökleri antik çağlara kadar dayandırılmasına, günümüze kadar Türk ve dünya müziklerinin tarihsel sürecinde önemli rolü olmasına rağmen, darbuka ve icrası müzikoloji çalışmalarında kapsamlı ele alınmamıştır.
