It is almost always tuned to the interval of a fifth and the treble clef is applied in Erhu music notation based on the actual pitch. Pipa Pipa and the artificial fingernails (right hand) Pipa Performance Demonstration (by SHU Yin) The strings of the Pipa are conventionally tuned to A-D-E-A. Players always wear the artificial fingernails for Pipa performance.

It has six finger-holes, one blowing hole and one membrane hole. The membrane has a great influence on the sound produced by the flute. Qudi and Bangdi are the most predominant among the many varieties of Chinese flute. To satisfy the needs of different music, professional players usually have a set of dizi, each in a different key and size, where the Bangdi in G key and the Qudi in D key are most commonly used. A low octave approach in treble staff is applied to Dizi music notation.

  • Wye---A-History-Of-The-Flute.Pdf
    A History of the Flute Trevor Wye 1. Whistles What a daunting prospect to write a simple flute history without missing anything. Looking at a pamphlet a few years ago, it stated that in the South Pacific Islands, those tiny islands south of Hawai, there are about 1300 different named flutes. Our modern flute is just one of thousands of flutes worldwide of all shapes and sizes from miniature ocarinas to giants like the Slovakian Fujara. A sensible way to begin would be to understand how flutes are made to emit sound and so we will look at the four main varieties. These are Endblown where the player blows across the end of the tube; Sideblown as in our modern flute; a Fipple or encapsulated such as is found in a referee's whistle and a Globular flute such as in ocarinas and gemshorns. In all cases, the air is directed against a sharp edge which causes the air to alternate between entering the tube where it meets resistance, then shifting to going outside the tube. This alternation takes place at great speed causing the air inside the tube or vessel to vibrate and so make a sound. In the endblown flute shown below, the tube is held upright and the air directed across the cutaway top of the tube. The fipple flute is sounded by the player directing air through a tube or windway against the sharp edge. An example is the recorder and the pitch is changed by covering the holes down the tube in succession. Globular flutes are sounded either by blowing across a hole or via the fipple which is connected to the 'globe' shown above, though the way the instrument responds is unlike the whistle; the notes can be changed by uncovering any hole, no matter in what position it is placed.

  • The Music of Xiaoyong Chen Lei Liang
    Contemporary Music Review Vol. 26, Nos. 5/6, October/December 2007, pp. 529 – 545 Colliding Resonances: The Music of Xiaoyong Chen Lei Liang Xiaoyong Chen. ª Friedrich Riehl Following Ligeti’s guidance, Xiaoyong Chen (b.1955) has consistently steered away from both the Chinese and the avant-garde establishments. His music explores the infinite richness of individual tones. The Duet for Violin and Zheng (1989) employs microtonal tuning, and focuses on the inter-resonance of colliding sonorities and tuning systems. Evapora (for small chamber ensemble, 1996) demonstrates his interest in juxtaposing harmonic and/or non-harmonic fusion. With a minimum of means, his highly personal musical vocabulary reveals a pluralistic world of clashing tuning systems, modes and individual voices; it also captures both the integration and tension between contrasting cultural elements. Keywords: Xiaoyong Chen (b.1955); Duet; Evapora; Spectra; Chinese Contemporary Music ISSN 0749-4467 (print)/ISSN 1477-2256 (online) ª 2007 Taylor & Francis DOI: 10.1080/07494460701652962 530 L. Liang Among overseas Chinese composers, Xiaoyong Chen ( , last name Chen) occupies an artistically important yet peripheral position. His musical vocabulary and rhythmic gestures share little in common with those of his compatriots, and he demonstrates noticeable restraint in the use of derivative ‘Chinese trademarks’. Consciously avoiding the exploitation of the traditional Chinese musical heri- tage by methods that oversimplify it, his music evokes an introspective atmo- sphere while using a minimum of means to do so. His art has an inventive precision, contemplative intimacy and poetic elegance—and by exploring the infinite richness of individual tones and their inter-resonance, Chen captures both the integration and tension between colliding sonorities, idioms and cultural sensitivities.

However the thumb hole is not in the correct place for every note in the octave. fingering changes from octave to octave 8 Dynamics • As the vibration becomes larger, more harmonics appear. Loudness in most instruments is accompanied by a change in strength of overtones. • The flute does not have a big dynamic range. Why? • How do flutists compensate? 9 Perceptual fusion and voicing • Voices stand out if their overtones move together. If overtones don’t move in pitch then the sound does not sound like a voice. Tones with no variation in pitch sound dull.

  • Exploring an Instrument's Diversity: Carmen Liliana Troncoso Cáceres Phd University of York Music September 2019
    Exploring an Instrument’s Diversity: The Creative Implications of the Recorder Performer’s Choice of Instrument Volume I Carmen Liliana Troncoso Cáceres PhD University of York Music September 2019 2 Abstract Recorder performers constantly face the challenge of selecting particular instrumental models for performance, subject to repertoire, musical styles, and performance contexts. The recorder did not evolve continuously and linearly. The multiple available models are surprisingly dissimilar and often somewhat anachronistic in character, juxtaposing elements of design from different periods of European musical history. This has generated the particular and peculiar situation of the recorder performer: the process of searching for and choosing an instrument for a specific performance is a complex aspect of performance preparation. This research examines the variables that arise in these processes, exploring the criteria for instrumental selection and, within the context of music making, the creative possibilities afforded by those choices. The study combines research into recorder models and their origins, use and associated contexts with research through performance. The relationship between performer and instrument, with its cultural and personal complexities, is significant here. As an ‘everyday object’, rooted in daily practice and personal artistic expression over many years, the instrument becomes part of the performer’s identity. In my case, as a Chilean performing an instrument that, despite its wider connection to a range of other duct flutes across the world, belongs to European culture, this sense of identity is complex and therefore examined in my processes of selecting and working creatively with the instruments. This doctorate portfolio comprises six performance projects, encompassing new, collaboratively developed works for a variety of recorders, presented through performance and recorded media.

  • The Traditional Sheng 14
    Figs. 14.1 & 14.2: The traditional sheng 14 笙 Sheng HISTORY The sheng, a multi-reed mouth organ, is one of the oldest Chinese reed wind instruments. The instrument’s bamboo pipes, each of a different length, have been likened to a phoenix at rest with its wings closed (Figs. 14.1 & 14.2). As early as the Yin Dynasty (1401 BC – 1122 BC), there were already inscriptions on oracle bones bearing the characters ‘龠禾’ (the character is read as ‘和’ he, representative of the 小笙 xiaosheng [small sheng]). Numerous historical records1 have mentioned the sheng as an important instrument in ancient music, popular in the imperial palace and in court processions. Another reed instrument known as the 竽 yu, which looked like and was played in a manner similar to the sheng, also prevailed in ancient times and for years, both instruments co-existed as China’s prevailing reed instruments. In contrasting the structural differences between the yu and sheng, <<宋史y乐志>> Song Shi y Yue Zhi notes2 that the yu typically had 36 reeds while the sheng had 13 or 19 reeds. Historically, studies have stated that instruments with 22, 23 or 36 reeds were classified as yu, but those with 19, 17 or 13 reeds fell under the category of sheng. The sheng and yu co-existed for a long time, but following the demise of the Song dynasty, the yu gradually lost its place. Today, most multi-reed mouth organs are known as sheng regardless of the number of reeds they possess. This instrument continues to be popular with the common folk for festivities, weddings and celebrations The sheng is a wind instrument but it uses the vibration of 铜制簧片 tongzhi huangpian (bronze reeds) attached to bamboo reeds to create sound.

  • Flutes Around the World and the Ensembles That Use Them, to Help You Prepare for the April 26-27 GCO Concert Featuring Flutist Rhonda Larson
    Introduction Musicians around the world perform on what might be called a standard, orchestral flute, but there are other kinds of flutes that are also used by musicians in each culture. This presentation will introduce you to flutes around the world and the ensembles that use them, to help you prepare for the April 26-27 GCO concert featuring flutist Rhonda Larson. Orchestral Flutes: Fast Facts Regular flutes are really called side-blown or transverse flutes because they are held sideways. Flute players blow across a hole in the side, rather than into the instrument. The air spins inside the empty tube and produces a whistling sound that we recognize as a flute tone. Fingers open and close holes along the flute, which makes the flute longer and shorter to control the pitch (highness or lowness of sound). Orchestral Flutes: Fast Facts Here is another musician Here is Rhonda Larson playing a performing on a small flute called regular, orchestral flute. Click on a piccolo.
