    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy o f a document sent to us for microHlming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify m " '<ings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyriglited materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper le ft hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections w ith small overlaps.

  • El Flabiol De Cobla En El Segle Xx1
    EL FLABIOL DE COBLA EN EL SEGLE XX1 Jordi León Royo (Barcelona), Pau Orriols Ramon (Vilanova i la Geltrú), amb la coŀlaboració de Josep Vilà Figueras (Cornellà de Llobregat) Jordi León Joaquim Serra, el 1948, va fer un curs d’instrumentació per a cobla, ja que coneixia molt bé les possibilitats tímbriques i sonores dels instruments que formen aquest conjunt. Més tard, l’Obra del Ballet Popular i altres institucions van tenir interès que això es publiqués, i en va sortir el Tractat d’instrumentació per a cobla, aparegut el 1957. Com qualsevol tractat d’instru- mentació, comença descrivint els instruments un per un i, quan parla del flabiol, després d’explicar quina és la seva extensió, la nota més greu, la nota més aguda, que està afinat en FA, que és un instrument transpositor, etc., diu textualment: «el flabiol és un instrument summament imperfecte, no és possible tro- bar-ne originàriament cap model ben afinat, i solament alguns flabiolaires amb bona voluntat, fent retocs als seus instruments, han aconseguit posar-lo en condicions acceptables d’afinació». És cert que, si mirem altres tractats d’orquestració, com pu- guin ser els que en el seu moment van escriure Hector Berlioz o Rimski-Kórsakov, hi trobarem moltes coses referides als instru- ments de la seva època, als instruments del segle xix, que ja no han estat vàlides per als instruments del segle xx i menys per als del xxi. El que vull dir amb això és que aquesta apreciació de Joaquim Serra de cap a 1950 avui dia ha passat de moda.

  • The Sackbut and Pre-Reformation English Church Music
    146 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL THE SACKBUT AND PRE-REFORMATION ENGLISH CHURCH MUSIC Trevor Herbert n the mid-1530s the household account books of the Royal Court in London showed that as many as twelve trombone players were in receipt of regular fees. If these accounts /signify all expenditure on Court music at that time, it can be estimated that an eighth of the wages bill for this part of its activities went to trombone players. The 1530s were something of a high point in this respect, but it remains the case that for the whole of the 16th century a corps of trombonists were, in effect, salaried members of the royal musical establishment.1 Yet, not a single piece of English music from this period is explicitly linked to the trombone. This in itselfis not significant, as the labelling of parts at this time was rare,2 but the illustration draws historians of brass instruments to a neat focus. Throughout the 16th century trombonists occupied a regular and important place in English musical life. The players were professionals, probably fine and distinguished performers: What did they play and when did they play it? In this article I address some issues concerning the deployment of trombones in the first half of the 16th century. It is worth stressing that musical practice in England in the 16th century was sufficiently different from the rest of Europe to merit special attention. As I explain below, the accession of Henry VII marks what many historians recognize as a watershed in British history. The death of his son Henry VIII in 1547 marks another.

  • El Rocío: a Case Study of Music and Ritual in Andalucía
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: EL ROCÍO: A CASE STUDY OF MUSIC AND RITUAL IN ANDALUCÍA W. Gerard Poole, Ph.D., 2007 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Carolina Robertson, Department of Ethnomusicology Music is central to the processional pilgrimage of El Rocío, which attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Andalusia, Spain, late each spring. The pilgrimage affords a unique view, in microcosm, of the relationships between music and ritual from both ritual-studies and ethnomusicological perspectives. Based on extensive fieldwork and other research, this dissertation explores the nexus of the Catholic ritual system in Andalusia, flamenco, and the specific music of El Rocío: the Sevillanas Rocieras. That nexus becomes clear through exploration of three particular features of the pilgrimage: (1) the devotional processions that generate a single, focused, collective emotion; (2) the Andalusian musical form called the palo; and (3) the informal musical gatherings called juergas, which take place nightly along the route. Analysis of structural and morphological relationships between ritual, music, and emotion yields surprising realizations about how these three elements come together as embodied aesthetics within a communitas to generate popular culture. Another important finding of this work is the necessity of placing, at the center of the inquiry, the religious experience—including the curious Andalusian phenomenon of the “chaotic” emotional procession and its role within the overall pilgrimage and ritual system. The dissertation concludes with two theoretical positions. The first addresses the process of “emotional structuring” and its role within the musical rituals of El Rocío and, by extension, Andalusia. The second advances a theory of ritual relations with potential application to ritual systems beyond Andalusia.

  • 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.

  • Corrina Hewat Reviews
    Corrina Hewat | reviews | My Favourite Place Footstompin Music FSR1719 (2003) After 10 years as a full-time musician, and having already appeared on albums by some 20 different artists and groups, Scottish harpist and singer Corrina Hewat hasn't exactly rushed into releasing her debut solo CD but she's not been idle, either, emerging as a performer, composer, arranger and tutor of equal note, with a touring schedule that's taken her across three continents. She's also been a key figure in several landmark Scottish ventures of recent years, including the 2002 Scottish Women tour, Linn Record’s Complete Works of Robert Burns series, and the 31-strong Unusual Suspects concert at this year's Celtic Connections festival. The central trait unifying Hewat's multiple gifts is her fondness and facility for exploring interfaces -- chiefly between folk and jazz, but also in among blues, soul and classical influences. All this breadth of experience and style finds marvellously concentrated yet spacious expression on My Favourite Place complemented by David Milligan on piano, percussionist Donald Hay, and Karine Polwart's backing harmonies. On the vocal front, tracks range from a bold, spiky updating of Sheath And Knife to an understated take on the jazz standard When I Dream. Hewat's own compositions -- such as the brilliantly wayward Traffic and the soulful, title track -- feature prominently among the tunes, together with a handful of beautifully wrought traditional numbers. Sue Wilson The Sunday Herald As soon as I started to listen to Corrina’s beautiful debut solo CD – a delicious, mellow, richly satisfying fusion of jazz/roots/blues styles (pure magic to a person of my musical tastes!), I was immediately transported to my very own ‘favourite place’.
