  • 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).

It says “record” and the numbers are going up. This is myself and Nick Lethert making a second effort at our interview. It’s the first of December, isn’t it? NL: It is. DS: And we’re at the Celtic Junction. I suppose we’ll start at the same place as we started the last time, which was, I just think chronologically, and I think of, what is your background, what is the background of your father, your family, and origins, and your mother. NL: I grew up just down the street from the Celtic Junction in Saint Mark’s parish to a household where the first twelve or so years I lived with my father, who was of German Catholic heritage and my mother, who was Irish Catholic. Both of my mother’s parents came from Connemara. They met in Saint Paul, and I lived with my grandmother, who was from a little village, a tiny little village called Derroe, which is in Connemara over in the area by Carraroe, Costello, sort of bogland around there. My grandmother was a very intense person, not the least of which because her husband, who grew up in Maam Cross, a little further up in the mountains in Connemara, left her and the family when they had three young children, so it made for sort of a Dickens-like life for her and for her three kids, one of which was my mother.

    Vol. Vol.18 • 17No. • 2No. 2 SpringWinter 20062005 CurrentsPenn State Harrisburg Alumni Magazine College Benefactor Richard Ziegler: More than Meets the Eye Currents • penn state harrisburg alumni magazine Welcome to Currents GreetingsWelcome to the Spring 2006from issue of Currents,the yourChancellor… Penn State Harrisburg alumni magazine. The end of the academic year is a time at which we pause to acknowledge the achievements of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It also marks a period of transition, as new graduates stand ready to meet the challenges of professional life, while retiring faculty and staff prepare for life after the rigors of the daily workplace. At commencement ceremonies in May 2006, Penn State Harrisburg conferred some 600 degrees, and another nearly 600 degrees a few months earlier at ceremonies in December 2005. These numbers are particularly significant as we celebrate the college’s 40th anniversary this year. Penn State Harrisburg’s first graduating class, those students who began when the campus opened in 1966 and graduated in 1968, included 12 students. Clearly, the idea for a campus in the capital city four decades ago has proven to be a good one. The proof? The nearly 32,000 graduates Penn State Harrisburg, the Capital College, has added to the University alumni roster. Our April 18 Donor Recognition Dinner recognized those whose philanthropy helps students either directly through scholarships, or indirectly through the donation of resources to enhance campus programs and facilities. This spring we also honored faculty and staff members with awards for outstanding achievement and leadership in the areas of diversity, service, teaching, research, and scholarship.
