    The Exotic Rhythms of Don Ellis a Dissertation Submitted to the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Partial Fu

    THE EXOTIC RHYTHMS OF DON ELLIS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE PEABODY INSTITUTE OF THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS BY SEAN P. FENLON MAY 25, 2002 © Copyright 2002 Sean P. Fenlon All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Fenlon, Sean P. The Exotic Rhythms of Don Ellis. Diss. The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, 2002. This dissertation examines the rhythmic innovations of jazz musician and composer Don Ellis (1934-1978), both in Ellis’s theory and in his musical practice. It begins with a brief biographical overview of Ellis and his musical development. It then explores the historical development of jazz rhythms and meters, with special attention to Dave Brubeck and Stan Kenton, Ellis’s predecessors in the use of “exotic” rhythms. Three documents that Ellis wrote about his rhythmic theories are analyzed: “An Introduction to Indian Music for the Jazz Musician” (1965), The New Rhythm Book (1972), and Rhythm (c. 1973). Based on these sources a general framework is proposed that encompasses Ellis’s important concepts and innovations in rhythms. This framework is applied in a narrative analysis of “Strawberry Soup” (1971), one of Don Ellis’s most rhythmically-complex and also most-popular compositions. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to my dissertation advisor, Dr. John Spitzer, and other members of the Peabody staff that have endured my extended effort in completing this dissertation. Also, a special thanks goes out to Dr. H. Gene Griswold for his support during the early years of my music studies.

    Instrument Descriptions

    RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it.
  • The Nonlinear Physics of Musical Instruments

    The Nonlinear Physics of Musical Instruments

    Rep. Prog. Phys. 62 (1999) 723–764. Printed in the UK PII: S0034-4885(99)65724-4 The nonlinear physics of musical instruments N H Fletcher Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra 0200, Australia Received 20 October 1998 Abstract Musical instruments are often thought of as linear harmonic systems, and a first-order description of their operation can indeed be given on this basis, once we recognise a few inharmonic exceptions such as drums and bells. A closer examination, however, shows that the reality is very different from this. Sustained-tone instruments, such as violins, flutes and trumpets, have resonators that are only approximately harmonic, and their operation and harmonic sound spectrum both rely upon the extreme nonlinearity of their driving mechanisms. Such instruments might be described as ‘essentially nonlinear’. In impulsively excited instruments, such as pianos, guitars, gongs and cymbals, however, the nonlinearity is ‘incidental’, although it may produce striking aural results, including transitions to chaotic behaviour. This paper reviews the basic physics of a wide variety of musical instruments and investigates the role of nonlinearity in their operation. 0034-4885/99/050723+42$59.50 © 1999 IOP Publishing Ltd 723 724 N H Fletcher Contents Page 1.

    19th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON ACOUSTICS MADRID, 2-7 SEPTEMBER 2007 Acoustic measurements along the history of saxophone: from Adolphe Sax to vintage instruments. PACS: 43.75. Vincent Gibiat1 Hamid Louaked2 Jerôme Selmer2 1University Paul Sabatier PHASE 118 route de Narbonne 31062 TOULOUSE Cedex 9 France ; [email protected] 2Henri Selmer Paris 18 rue de la fontaine au roi 75011 PARIS France; [email protected] ABSTRACT A complete collection of alto saxophones belonging to the successors of Adolphe Sax factory (Henri Selmer Paris) beginning with Adolphe Sax instruments (1856) followed by all the different models produced all along the twentieth century has been acoustically studied. Model 22, 26, 28, Radio improved, Balanced Action as well as the mythic Mark VI or unique instruments based on a factory model and realised for a special event have been studied to follow the evolution of what is both an historic instrument and a popular one. As these instruments are all in playable conditions impedance measurements on all the possible fingerings have been obtained. Sound recordings have also been realised on chromatic scales and short musical excerpts. We present the synthetic results obtained that show the continuity between Adolphe Sax production and the earlier Selmer Instruments, then the quality and homogeneity gap between some different models. Through the evolution the musician demands on sound quality appear clearly. These historic instruments have also been compared to the most recent models showing an evolution and a preservation of the historic sound that is certainly not finished. INTRODUCTION Both ancient and popular the saxophone has a peculiar place in music history.
