  • 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).

  • Core Instrumentation of the “Typical” American Community Concert Band: an Approach to Scoring Guidelines for Composers and Arrangers
    Core Instrumentation of the “Typical” American Community Concert Band: An Approach to Scoring Guidelines for Composers and Arrangers Findings based on a 2012 Online survey by Composer/Conductor David Avshalomov, D.M.A 1 Approach In early 2012, after extensive observation of online email threads around the practical challenges of presenting concerts with community bands, the author decided to create and run an open online survey with the goal of gathering a sampling of reasonably reliable statistical information about the “typical” core instrumentation of a community concert band in the US. The definition of community concert band used here begins by distinguishing it from a full- instrumentation concert band or symphonic wind ensemble having all the “outlier/outsize” instruments and generally carrying only one (or perhaps at most two) players per part except for Bb clarinets. In the US these full bands are almost exclusively conservatory, university, college, community college, or advanced/large high school ensembles. Few professional concert bands exist in the US. The definition of community concert band here also excludes marching bands—school, municipal, or private—as these too have a separate and distinct instrumentation profile. Although there are some community concert bands that have fairly full instrumentation, initial observations from the survey results confirm that most, if not all, have what could be characterized as significant gaps by comparison with the “full” symphonic wind ensemble. They also often have much heavier doublings in certain common sections such as flutes and clarinets. GOAL: The intention of the survey was to draw a rough line around a “safe” core scoring, and additionally to define tentative guidelines for the inclusion of instruments outside that line, for composers and arrangers who wish to serve the community concert band population with music targeted to such groups’ strengths, not their weaknesses.

Abstract: The present document examines eight musical works for various instruments and ensembles, composed between 2007 and 2011. Brief summaries of each work’s program are followed by discussions of instrumentation and orchestration, and analysis of pitch organization. Discussions of instrumentation and orchestration explore the composer’s approach to diversification of instrumental ensembles by the inclusion of non-orchestral instruments, and redefinition of traditional hierarchies among instruments in a standard ensemble or orchestral setting. Analyses of pitch organization detail various ways in which the composer renders diatonic

  • A History of Siamese Music Reconstructed from Western Documents 1505-1932
    A HISTORY OF SIAMESE MUSIC RECONSTRUCTED FROM WESTERN DOCUMENTS 1505-1932 This content downloaded from 96.9.90.37 on Thu, 04 Feb 2021 07:36:11 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms Introduction The writing of music history, the chief activity of the musicologist, depends almost entirely on the existence of written documents. Historical studies of various musics of the world have appeared wherever there are such documents: Europe, China, Japan, Korea, India, and in the Islamic cultural area of Western Asia and North Africa. Mainland Southeast Asia, however, has remained much of a musico-historical void since little has remained besides oral traditions and a few stone carvings, although Vietnamese music is an exception to this statement. The fact that these countries have so few trained musicologists also contributes to the lack of research. In the case of the Kingdom of Thailand, known before 1932 as Siam, little has been attempted in the way of music history in languages other than Thai, and those in Thai, also not plentiful, remain unknown to the outside world.l Only the European-trained Prince Damrong has attempted a comprehensive history, but it is based as much on tradition and conjecture as on concrete evidence and is besides quite brief. David Morton's classic study of Thai traditional music, The Traditional Music of Thailand, includes some eighteen pages of history, mostly based on oral traditions, conjecture, circumstantial evidence from neighboring musical cultures (Cambodia, China, and India), and some from the same documents used in this study. At least three reasons can be given for the lack of historical materials originating in Thailand.

  • The Biography of Wintergatan
    The Biography of Wintergatan The Swedish band Wintergatan is about music. And musical instruments. And sounds and melodies. With pounding beats in the bottom end, autoharp and accordion in the middle and Vibraphone, Glockenspiel and Music box towards the high end the sound of Wintergatan is both beauty and beast. Grand and minimalistic. Occasionally the Modulin, a monophonic analogue homebuilt theremin/violin-esque syntheseizer dives in singing in the sci-fi key. Being instrumental Wintergatan´s music is direct, driven by melodies that catches on and tell tales without using words. The band´s name derives from the recording session where Wintergatan created their debut album in a vast forest in Sweden. Wintergatan is Swedish for "The Milky Way" and on cloudfree nights in the forest, distant from citylights blocking your eyesight you can see how our galaxy lies tilted, as a line crossing the starry sky. This sensation of actually being a part of and in the galaxy gave name to the band. The first thing ever to come out from Wintergatan was the song and video of “Sommarfågel”. “Sommarfågel” immediately got wings of its own and an extensive live tour was booked without anything else released. A second song and video, “Starmachine 2000”, was released shortly after that. Wintergatan then released their selftitled debut album on May 1, 2013, on their own record label. In October 2013 Wintergatan released a single named after Gothenburg´s fastest bike - Tornado. With “Tornado” and another bike related track "Biking is Better", taken from the album, Wintergatan salutes the superiority of bikes as the best inner city transport vehicle.

By Christopher James Edgar Hull, BMus. A Project Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Music in Performance University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2017 APPROVED: Eric Retterer, Committee Chair William Post, Committee Member Eduard Zilberkant, Committee Member William Post, Chair Department of Music Todd Sherman, Dean College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School Abstract This paper discusses some of the many facets of percussion music through the examination and analysis of the following works: Gary Burton’s Chega De Saudade for solo vibraphone; Steve Reich’s Marimba Phase for two marimbas; Michael Gordon’s XY for five drums; the author’s own arrangement for multiple-percussion setup of John Cage’s In a Landscape-, Minoru Miki’s Time for Marimba for solo marimba; and Milton Babbitt’s Homily for solo snare drum. As the repertoire and performance practices of percussion continue to develop, there are many issues of note to the studying percussionist.
