  • 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).

  • Following the Science
    November 2020 Following the Science: A systematic literature review of studies surrounding singing and brass, woodwind and bagpipe playing during the COVID-19 pandemic Authors: John Wallace, Lio Moscardini, Andrew Rae and Alan Watson Music Education MEPGScotland Partnership Group MEPGScotland.org @MusicEducation10 Table of Contents Overview 1 Introduction Research Questions Research Method 2 Systematic Review Consistency Checklist Results 5 Thematic Categories Discussion 7 Breathing Singing Brass playing Woodwind playing Bagpipes Summary Conclusions 14 Recommended measures to mitigate risk 15 Research Team 17 Appendix 18 Matrix of identified papers References 39 Overview Introduction The current COVID-19 situation has resulted in widespread concern and considerable uncertainty relating to the position of musical performance and in particular potential risks associated with singing and brass, woodwind and bagpipe playing. There is a wide range of advice and guidance available but it is important that any guidance given should be evidence- based and the sources of this evidence should be known. The aim of the study was to carry out a systematic literature review in order to gather historical as well as the most current and relevant information which could provide evidence-based guidance for performance practice. This literature was analysed in order to determine the evidence of risk attached to singing and brass , woodwind and bagpipe playing, in relation to the spread of airborne pathogens such as COVID-19, through droplets and aerosol.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If 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 thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • History of the Bagpipe There Is No Instrument That Brings As Much Gravitas and Solemnity to a Remembrance Day Ceremony As the Bagpipe
    Arbourside Court Newsletter November 2016 The Arby The official News of Arbourside Court History of the Bagpipe There is no instrument that brings as much gravitas and solemnity to a Remembrance Day ceremony as the bagpipe. Although it is an instrument that we most closely associ- ate with the British Isles, it is of ancient origin that has become the symbol of war and its casualties. The evidence for pre-Roman era bagpipes is still uncertain but several textual and visual clues have been suggested. The Oxford History of Music says that a sculpture of bagpipes has been found on a Hittite slab at Euyuk in the Middle East, dated to 1000 BC. Several authors identify the Ancient Greek askaulos (askos – wine-skin, aulos – reed pipe) with the bagpipe. 1st Century writing records that a roman emperor, possibly Nero, could play a pipe (tibia, Roman reedpipes similar to Greek and Etruscan instruments) with his mouth as well as by tucking a bladder be- neath his armpit. Spread and development in Europe In the early part of the second millennium, bagpipes or its close cousins began to appear more frequently in artworks. The Cantigas de Santa Maria, written in Castile in the mid-13th centu- ry, depicts several types of bagpipes.Though evidence of bagpipes in the British Isles prior to the 14th century is contested, bagpipes are explicitly mentioned in The Canterbury Tales (written around 1380): A baggepype wel coude he blowe and sowne, /And ther-with-al he broghte us out of towne. Actual examples of bagpipes from before the 18th century are extremely rare; however, a sub- stantial number of paintings, carvings, engravings, manuscript illuminations, and so on survive.

  • Book 2 of the Structured Learning Guide of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association
    SECOND EDITION 1993 PREFACE It is with very real pleasure that I introduce Book 2 of the Structured learning Guide of The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association. The growing international popularity of Book 1 in the series is positive proof of the acceptance of the clear concise teaching methods being used in the education programme now introduced. Pipe band enthusiasts all over the world are due a debt of gratitude to the members of the team of diligent, talented personnel who have created and presented this comprehensive and imaginative learning aid. This debt will be amply repaid by the conscientious use of Books 1 and 2 and by the subsequent attainment of a higher standard of performance of Pipe Band Music. E. Sturgeon PRESIDENT - 1 INTRODUCTION The Music Board of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association is delighted to present Book 2 in the Structured Learning series which covers the revised curriculum of the Intermediate Certificate course. We believe that this second publication provides a well balanced and coherent framework of learning material against which students can further develop their musical competence in piping and drumming. The successful presentation format which was established in Book 1 has been continued and built upon to ensure continuity of the learning process. It also maintains the capability of the material for use in a distance learning mode where the student has limited or perhaps no access to formal instruction. A key objective of the Music Board is to offer musical education of the highest quality and to support this by the provision of appropriate learning resource material which will be available to the membership of the Association and to the many Affiliated Associations throughout the World.
