    THE DOUBLE REED 103 Second Bassoon: Specialist, Support, Teamwork Dick Hanemaayer Amsterdam, Holland (!e following article first appeared in the Dutch magazine “De Fagot”. It is reprinted here with permission in an English translation by James Aylward. Ed.) t used to be that orchestras, when they appointed a new second bassoon, would not take the best player, but a lesser one on instruction from the !rst bassoonist: the prima donna. "e !rst bassoonist would then blame the second for everything that went wrong. It was also not uncommon that the !rst bassoonist, when Ihe made a mistake, to shake an accusatory !nger at his colleague in clear view of the conductor. Nowadays it is clear that the second bassoon is not someone who is not good enough to play !rst, but a specialist in his own right. Jos de Lange and Ronald Karten, respectively second and !rst bassoonist from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra explain.) BASS VOICE Jos de Lange: What makes the second bassoon more interesting over the other woodwinds is that the bassoon is the bass. In the orchestra there are usually four voices: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. All the high winds are either soprano or alto, almost never tenor. !e "rst bassoon is o#en the tenor or the alto, and the second is the bass. !e bassoons are the tenor and bass of the woodwinds. !e second bassoon is the only bass and performs an important and rewarding function. One of the tasks of the second bassoon is to control the pitch, in other words to decide how high a chord is to be played.

  • Unicode Technical Note: Byzantine Musical Notation
    1 Unicode Technical Note: Byzantine Musical Notation Version 1.0: January 2005 Nick Nicholas; [email protected] This note documents the practice of Byzantine Musical Notation in its various forms, as an aid for implementors using its Unicode encoding. The note contains a good deal of background information on Byzantine musical theory, some of which is not readily available in English; this helps to make sense of why the notation is the way it is.1 1. Preliminaries 1.1. Kinds of Notation. Byzantine music is a cover term for the liturgical music used in the Orthodox Church within the Byzantine Empire and the Churches regarded as continuing that tradition. This music is monophonic (with drone notes),2 exclusively vocal, and almost entirely sacred: very little secular music of this kind has been preserved, although we know that court ceremonial music in Byzantium was similar to the sacred. Byzantine music is accepted to have originated in the liturgical music of the Levant, and in particular Syriac and Jewish music. The extent of continuity between ancient Greek and Byzantine music is unclear, and an issue subject to emotive responses. The same holds for the extent of continuity between Byzantine music proper and the liturgical music in contemporary use—i.e. to what extent Ottoman influences have displaced the earlier Byzantine foundation of the music. There are two kinds of Byzantine musical notation. The earlier ecphonetic (recitative) style was used to notate the recitation of lessons (readings from the Bible). It probably was introduced in the late 4th century, is attested from the 8th, and was increasingly confused until the 15th century, when it passed out of use.

  • Major and Minor Scales Half and Whole Steps
    Dr. Barbara Murphy University of Tennessee School of Music MAJOR AND MINOR SCALES HALF AND WHOLE STEPS: half-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that are adjacent on the piano keyboard whole-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that have another key in between chromatic half-step -- a half step written as two of the same note with different accidentals (e.g., F-F#) diatonic half-step -- a half step that uses two different note names (e.g., F#-G) chromatic half step diatonic half step SCALES: A scale is a stepwise arrangement of notes/pitches contained within an octave. Major and minor scales contain seven notes or scale degrees. A scale degree is designated by an Arabic numeral with a cap (^) which indicate the position of the note within the scale. Each scale degree has a name and solfege syllable: SCALE DEGREE NAME SOLFEGE 1 tonic do 2 supertonic re 3 mediant mi 4 subdominant fa 5 dominant sol 6 submediant la 7 leading tone ti MAJOR SCALES: A major scale is a scale that has half steps (H) between scale degrees 3-4 and 7-8 and whole steps between all other pairs of notes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 W W H W W W H TETRACHORDS: A tetrachord is a group of four notes in a scale. There are two tetrachords in the major scale, each with the same order half- and whole-steps (W-W-H). Therefore, a tetrachord consisting of W-W-H can be the top tetrachord or the bottom tetrachord of a major scale.

  • PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Wolfgang Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 464 Born January 27, 1756, Salzburg, Austria. Died December 5, 1791, Vienna, Austria. Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 464 Mozart entered this concerto in his catalog on February 10, 1785, and performed the solo in the premiere the next day in Vienna. The orchestra consists of one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. At these concerts, Shai Wosner plays Beethoven’s cadenza in the first movement and his own cadenza in the finale. Performance time is approximately thirty-four minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 20 were given at Orchestra Hall on January 14 and 15, 1916, with Ossip Gabrilowitsch as soloist and Frederick Stock conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on March 15, 16, and 17, 2007, with Mitsuko Uchida conducting from the keyboard. The Orchestra first performed this concerto at the Ravinia Festival on July 6, 1961, with John Browning as soloist and Josef Krips conducting, and most recently on July 8, 2007, with Jonathan Biss as soloist and James Conlon conducting. This is the Mozart piano concerto that Beethoven admired above all others. It’s the only one he played in public (and the only one for which he wrote cadenzas). Throughout the nineteenth century, it was the sole concerto by Mozart that was regularly performed—its demonic power and dark beauty spoke to musicians who had been raised on Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt.

  • Generalized Interval System and Its Applications
    Generalized Interval System and Its Applications Minseon Song May 17, 2014 Abstract Transformational theory is a modern branch of music theory developed by David Lewin. This theory focuses on the transformation of musical objects rather than the objects them- selves to find meaningful patterns in both tonal and atonal music. A generalized interval system is an integral part of transformational theory. It takes the concept of an interval, most commonly used with pitches, and through the application of group theory, generalizes beyond pitches. In this paper we examine generalized interval systems, beginning with the definition, then exploring the ways they can be transformed, and finally explaining com- monly used musical transformation techniques with ideas from group theory. We then apply the the tools given to both tonal and atonal music. A basic understanding of group theory and post tonal music theory will be useful in fully understanding this paper.

  • Closing Report of Chairman Edward D. Re
    Closing Report of Chairman Edward D. Re The Chairman's message in the Bulletin of December 1965 stressed the need for effective leadership in the increasingly intricate and complex areas of international law and comparative law. During the past two years, the Section of International and Comparative Law has attempted to assert such leadership. It has sought to accomplish this task by attracting new members to the Section, streamlining its divisions and committees, improving Section publications, initiating seminars and institutes to inform lawyers about current problems in international law, and by presenting to the American Bar Association the Section's recommendations on significant questions of international relations. At its annual and spring meetings and at various interna- tional and national conferences, the Section has presented discussions in depth on topics of interest to all members of the legal profession. This Report will present a summary of Section activities from 1965 to 1967. A detailed report on the 1967 Annual Meeting in Hawaii will be found under the heading "Meetings and Conferences." The Section's first Institute, held in New Orleans on September 29-30, 1967, is discussed under the heading "Section Seminars." Organization An active Section requires active committes. In 1965, scope and objective reports sought from all committee chairman and were to be distributed to all members to enable them to make an informed choice of committee assignments. The first issue of The International Lawyer contained a list of Section committees (p. 157) together with a form by which lawyers could join the Section and could indicate committee preferences (p.

  • Ecoaccess Guideline for the Assessment of Low Frequency Noise
    ECOACCESS GUIDELINE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF LOW FREQUENCY NOISE Cedric Roberts Environmental Operations, Integrated Assessment, Queensland Environmental Protection Agency, 160 Ann Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 4002 Abstract As a result of the escalation in low frequency noise sources appearing in new industrial development and the incidence of low frequency noise complaints experienced by residents in Queensland, a low frequency noise guideline has been developed by the Environmental Protection Agency. The Guideline is applicable to low frequency noise emitted from industrial premises, commercial premises and mining operations (not blasting), and is intended for planning purposes as well as for the evaluation of existing problems. The intent of the established criteria is to accurately assess annoyance and discomfort to persons at noise sensitive premises caused by low frequency noise with a frequency range from 10 Hz to 200 Hz. The technical paper will describe the main elements of this guideline including: use of the G-weighting function to determine annoyance due to infrasound in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 20Hz and low frequency noise criterion adopted for initial screening inside home environments in terms of Linear, A-weighted and one-third octave band sound pressure levels in the range 20 to 200 Hz. Initially auditory perception is established by comparing one-third octave band frequency sound with the ISO median hearing threshold levels (HTLs) for the best 10% of the aged population (55-60 years old) followed by separate noise criteria applied to establish annoyance from tonal and non-tonal noise. Two examples of the application of the guideline to infrasonic noise and non-tonal noise from industrial equipment are given in the paper.
