  • 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).

    Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music | Music | Kentucky.com Page 1 of 3 Kentucky.com Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music By Walter Tunis — Contributing Music Writer Posted: 8:24am on Mar 1, 2012; Modified: 2:20pm on Mar 1, 2012 Liz Carroll says that even after 30 years, she is fascinated by the emotion of Irish music. There is an animation that surfaces when Liz Carroll is speaking that often reflects the spirited tone of her playing. She is one of today's most celebrated torchbearers of traditional Irish music (she is America-born of Irish parentage), and her fiddle music bears confidence, precision, no modest level of speed when the occasion calls for it and, above all, a bountiful sense of Celtic abandon. http://www.kentucky.com/2012/03/01/2090222/fiddler-liz-carroll-doesnt-hide.html 3/10/2012 Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music | Music | Kentucky.com Page 2 of 3 All kinds of musical alliances have promoted and benefited from her work: from traditionally inclined alliances with Trian, String Sisters and especially two extraordinary albums with fellow fiddler John Doyle (including 2009's Grammy-nominated Double Play), and collaborations with non-Irish-inclined stars Don Henley and Yehudi Menuhin. But the very exuberance that has ignited Carroll's recordings for more than 30 years positively erupts in conversation. There is no trace of an Irish accent as she talks, but there is no mistaking the heritage that has longed fueled her music.

    Sunspot Concerts at the Lyceum Furnace Mountain Saturday, March 20, 2010, 8 PM $18 advance/$21 door Furnace Mountain, named after the tallest peak of the Catoctin Mountains, is a quartet of traditional musicians who play the music of the Virginia countryside and mountains. Dave Van Deventer (fiddle) and Danny Knicely (mandolin & guitar) front the instrumental side of things, while vocalists Morgan Morrison (bouzouki) and Aimee Curl (bass) layer in a stunning mix of the earthy and ethereal. Their music is at times lively and raucous, with spirited fiddle melodies weaving in and around the powerful rhythms of the bass and bouzouki. At other times it is poignant and poetic, with sublime vocal harmonies beautifully interpreting some of the oldest songs ever written. They’ve just released a new CD, Fields of Fescue. www.furnacemountain.com. Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill Saturday, April 10, 2010, 8 PM $26 advance/$30 door Martin Hayes has drawn musical inspiration from sources as diverse as the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, the Spanish viola da gamba master Jordi Savall and the jazz genius John Coltrane to create his own signature style of Irish fiddle music.
