Whistling Response Behaviour and Whistle Sounds 2 3 Whistling Response behaviour and whistle sounds 2 3 I am highly interested in the communication we have and the attention we give to one another. A simple sound or a short message can show appreciation an can create a big smile. The simplicity of letting someone know that you have seen that person can mean more than a thousend words. To work with this idea I have looked into whistling, a sound so simple that it can be the starter of a conversation. Whistle tones have been around for ages. Whistling is a part of our communication. We warn each other and our phones warn us with whistle tones. In music it is widely used to create familiar tones. But also languages, sportsgames and parties benefit from the sound of a whistle. Hereby I take you into the world I have explored. The titles will give you a direction, the texts provide information and images are for extra inspiration.

  • 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).

  • Lip-Blown Instruments of Ireland Before the Norman Invasion
    DOWNEY 75 LIP-BLOWN INSTRUMENTS OF IRELAND BEFORE THE NORMAN INVASION Peter Downey t is generally assumed that metal lip-blown instruments were introduced into Europe by the Arabs and Moors during the Middle Ages as the result of the Crusades and other Ibelligerent contacts. This assumption requires subscribing to the belief that, with the fall of the Roman Empire, all knowledge of the manufacture and use of lip-blown instruments, such as the Roman tuba and comu or the Gallic carnyx, was lost in the turmoil and destruction of the Dark Ages. Serious doubts have been cast on the concept recently, most notably by Don Smithers.1 The arguments have been presented in a quite persuasive manner. However, what has been missing to date is "test-case" evidence from a part of Europe in which there can be shown a continuity of manufacture and use of lip-blown instruments throughout the period under scrutiny, and whose history shows that: 1) they remained outside the Roman Empire; 2) they were cushioned from the events of the Dark Ages that followed the fall of that empire in the west; 3) they did not participate in the early confrontations between Christian and Muslim. One such example is actually to be found on the fringe of Western Europe, namely, Ireland. Aspects of Ireland's testimony have been mentioned briefly in various texts, but much misunderstanding and misrepresentation has accompanied and clouded the clarity of that evidence. What follows is the first stage of an attempt to dispel some of those clouds by bringing into clearer focus the material riches preserved in Ireland from its long-lasting cultural independence.2 Because many readers may be unfamiliar with Ireland's prehistory and early history, short overviews of the historical situation are also included as appropriate to provide a contact for the instruments described.

There is a wide range of advice and guidance available but it is important that any guidance given should be evidence- based and the sources of this evidence should be known. The aim of the study was to carry out a systematic literature review in order to gather historical as well as the most current and relevant information which could provide evidence-based guidance for performance practice. This literature was analysed in order to determine the evidence of risk attached to singing and brass , woodwind and bagpipe playing, in relation to the spread of airborne pathogens such as COVID-19, through droplets and aerosol.

  • Research Report: Hybrid Clarinet Project
    STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CCRMA Research Report: Hybrid Clarinet Project Romain Michon and John Granzow December 4, 2013 In the past thirty years we have seen a wide range of studies on the physical modeling of mu- sical instruments using the waveguide technique. We now have at our disposal sophisticated models encompassing a large array of musical instruments. While the waveguide technique is both efficient and allows for the creation of effective models, it remains dependent on the precise control of the parameters of the model as well as on the quality of the excitation that is used to drive them. Many works on the control of waveguide physical models and on the modeling of nonlinear excitations have been carried out. However, the link between these two parameters is generally understudied. Indeed, for most musical instruments, the excitation is the element that has the greatest num- ber of parameters to control and is thus the hardest element to model. The properties of the bore of a clarinet for example (but this also applies to most of the woodwind and brass in- struments) can only be modified by tone holes, that are very discrete controllers (they can be opened or closed or half closed in some cases). On the other hand, the interactions between the mouthpiece and the player are extremely complex and difficult to simulate on a computer. This problem has been addressed in many ways in the past with different solutions for almost every case. Yamaha, for example, created a breath controller that worked with the VL1 synthe- sizer series1. For violins, Esteban Maestre developed a technique where the parameters of the physical model are controlled by gesture data acquired from real world performers[3].

  • Title Page Echoes of the Salpinx: the Trumpet in Ancient Greek Culture
    Title Page Echoes of the salpinx: the trumpet in ancient Greek culture. Carolyn Susan Bowyer. Royal Holloway, University of London. MPhil. 1 Declaration of Authorship I Carolyn Susan Bowyer hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Echoes of the salpinx : the trumpet in ancient Greek culture. Abstract The trumpet from the 5th century BC in ancient Greece, the salpinx, has been largely ignored in modern scholarship. My thesis begins with the origins and physical characteristics of the Greek trumpet, comparing trumpets from other ancient cultures. I then analyse the sounds made by the trumpet, and the emotions caused by these sounds, noting the growing sophistication of the language used by Greek authors. In particular, I highlight its distinctively Greek association with the human voice. I discuss the range of signals and instructions given by the trumpet on the battlefield, demonstrating a developing technical vocabulary in Greek historiography. In my final chapter, I examine the role of the trumpet in peacetime, playing its part in athletic competitions, sacrifice, ceremonies, entertainment and ritual. The thesis re-assesses and illustrates the significant and varied roles played by the trumpet in Greek culture. 3 Echoes of the salpinx : the trumpet in ancient Greek culture Title page page 1 Declaration of Authorship page 2 Abstract page 3 Table of Contents pages

  • Characterization And' Taxonomy Acoustical Standpoint
    Characterization and' Taxonomy of Historic Brass Musical Instruments from ae Acoustical Standpoint Arnold Myers Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 1998 I" V *\- Abstract The conceptual bases of existing classification schemes for brasswind are examined. The requirements of a taxonomy relating to the character of brass musical instruments as experienced by players and listeners are discussed. Various directly and indirectly measurable physical parameters are defined. The utility of these parameters in classification is assessed in a number of case studies on instruments in museums and collections. The evolution of instrument design since 1750 in terms of these characterization criteria is outlined. Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work is my own. ? r % *} Acknowledgements I have been encouraged and helped by many in my investigations. My supervisors, D. Murray Campbell in the Department of Physics and Astronomy Christopher D.S. Field, and John Kitchen in the Faculty of Music have provided wise guidance whenever needed. Raymond Parks, Research Fellow in Fluid Dynamics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, has given unfailing support, and has been responsible for much of the measuring equipment I have used. David Sharp has used the pulse reflectornetry techniques developed in the course of his own research to obtain bore reconstructions of numerous specimens for me. Herbert Heyde kindly discussed the measurement of historic brass instruments with me. Stewart Benzie has carried out instrument repairs for me and made the crook described in Chapter 5. I am grateful to the curators of many museums for allowing me access to the historic instruments in their care.

  • The Gallic Carnyx the Gallic Or Celtic Carnyx Is a Type of Trumpet Held And
    War, Ritual, and Symbolism: The Gallic Carnyx The Gallic or Celtic carnyx is a type of trumpet held and played vertically with the bell curved to horizontal position and shaped in the form of a boar’s head or other animal head. It was played in war to unite the Gallic troops, to intimidate the enemy with its loud, blaring sound, which was quite piercing due to its height, and to frighten opponents with its large boar or serpent head visage. Use of the carnyx is reported in the Gallic attack on Delphi in 279 BCE, Caesar’s campaigns in Gaul in the 50s BCE, and Claudius’ invasion of Britain in 43 CE. Diodorus in the Histories 5.30 says: “Their trumpets again are of a peculiar barbarian kind; they blow into them and produce a harsh sound which suits the tumult of war.” The carnyx is one of the most distinctive identifying elements of the Gallic warrior, and is almost always depicted on Roman coins showing Gallic defeats (Crawford, RRC 282/1-5; 448/2a-3). It also appears on reliefs on Trajan’s Column, and on the silver Gundestrup cauldron found in northern Denmark (probably of Celtic-Thracian origin) and dating to 150 BCE-50 CE. While fragments of carnyces have been excavated in Scotland, France, Germany, Romania and Switzerland, in 2004 seven carnyces, one almost complete, were excavated in a Gallic military and religious deposit dating to the time of Caesar’s conquest in Tintignac, France, near Limoges. Evidence from the excavations suggests that the carnyces served a ritual as well as a military function.
