B to C# - both octaves, 1st and 2nd, speak accurately and clearly. 2. C to C# - the C# trill offers ease for this trill, normally trilled with the first finger of the left hand. 3. High F# to G# - using the C# trill key for this trill is easier and more in tune. 4. High G to Ab – using the C# trill key produces far more accurate pitch than the conventional method of using the first trill key. 5. High G to A – this is a winner! An impractical trill on the standard flute, the C# trill key makes this trill a breeze – and accurately in tune! Finger high G, then trill the C# trill key and the upper (first) trill key simultaneously. 6. High Ab to Bb – finger Ab and trill the C# trill key, upper trill key, and lower trill key, instead of the standard fingering of both trill keys, for a more in tune trill. 7. A large variety of tremolos are possible. For example: finger A, Bb, B and C in succession while trilling the C# trill key. This will give you a continuous tremolo to C# (Db). By combining the C# trill key and other trill keys, other tremolos are possible. How the Split E Key or G “Donut” Insert Works High E has always been considered a problem note on the flute. It is easily cracked and tends to be quite sharp, especially in forte passages. Ideally, the high E should be fingered with the two G keys (ring finger on your left hand) split so that the bottom key (of the connected keys) is down and the other is up. The split E accomplishes this by dividing the normally connected G key structure so that it will work simultaneously for G yet independently for high E. The G “Donut” insert is a popular alternative to the split E Key. It can be installed as an option on a new flute and is also available for flutes after originally purchased. 1. Rapid slurs from high A to high E speak easily with no special fingerings. 2. Quick leaping passages from lower notes to high E and back present little or no problem as the high E speaks freely.

  • 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).

  • The Commissioned Flute Choir Pieces Presented By
    THE COMMISSIONED FLUTE CHOIR PIECES PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE FLUTE CHOIRS AND NFA SPONSORED FLUTE CHOIRS AT NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTIONS WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLUTE CHOIR AND ITS REPERTOIRE DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yoon Hee Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Karen Pierson Copyright by Yoon Hee Kim 2013 Abstract The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition, Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School, and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions. Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor, performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire, as well as a history of NFA-sponsored flute choir (1973–2012) will be included in this document.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Antonio Vivaldi Piccolo Concerto in C Major, RV
    PROGRAM NOTES Antonio Vivaldi Born March 4, 1678, Venice, Italy. Died July 28, 1741, Vienna, Austria. Piccolo Concerto in C Major, RV 443 Details regarding the composition and first performance of this concerto are unknown. The concerto is scored for piccolo and string orchestra with harpsichord. Performance time is approximately twelve minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first performance of Vivaldi's Piccolo Concerto, RV 443 was given on a special June Festival concert at Orchestra Hall on June 9, 1966, with Walfrid Kujala as soloist and Antonio Janigro conducting. Our only previous subscription concert performances of this concerto were given on May 6, 7, and 8, 1982, also with Kujala and with Sir Georg Solti conducting. The Orchestra first performed this work at the Ravinia Festival on July 13, 1969, under Antonio Janigro, and most recently on August 11, 1973, under Lawrence Foster, with Kujala as soloist on both occasions. A 1966 performance of Vivaldi's C major piccolo concerto with Walfrid Kujala as soloist and Antonio Janigro conducting is included in From the Archives, vol. 21. The most original, popular, and influential Italian composer of his time, Vivaldi was very quickly forgotten. Within a hundred years of his death, he had achieved the ultimate fate of most composers—complete oblivion. After he was finally rediscovered in the early twentieth century, and eventually became one of the most performed of all composers again, he often was written off as excessively prolific and facile. Stravinsky famously dismissed his entire career as "the same concerto four hundred times," an assessment that was not just unkind, but also unfair.
