Çalgı Bilgsi Dersi 1. Dönem (Üflemeli)
A. Ü. Devlet Konservatuvarı Eğitim – Öğretim Programı Çalgı Bilgisi Dersi (seçmeli) ( I. Dönem - Üflemeli Çalgılar ) (çalgılar, senfoni orkestrasının partisyon sıralamasına göre verilmiştir) Dr. Öğr. Üyesi İvan ÇELAK (CELAC) TAHTA ÜFLEMELİ ÇALGILAR FLÜT AİLESİ Flüt, yaklaşık 7 bin yıldır var olan bir enstrümandır. Üflemeli çalgılar arasında en eskilerden biri olan flütü, Yunan Tanrıçası Athena'nın da çaldığı bilinmektedir; anavatanı Eski Yunan ve bazı Asya ülkeleri olarak bilinir. Bunlar arasında Latin Amerika ülkelerine de rastlamak mümkündür. Ancak flütün ortaya çıkışının ‘’anonim’’ olduğu söylenebilir. 1700’lü yıllara kadar ilk yapıldığı haliyle kullanılan flüt, daha sonra geliştirilerek günümüze kadar gelmiştir. Ünlü alman flütçü Theobald Boehm, Pentenrieder ve Greve gibi flütistler ilkel kullanımın yetersiz kalışıyla flütü bugünkü haline getiren bir takım tasarımlara geliştirmişlerdir. B. Pentenrieder (Munich, c.1840), basit sistem (7-delik) Boehm and Greve (Munich, c.1829), basit sistem (9-delik) 1832 yılında Boehm’in geliştirdiği ve günümüzdeki flüte en yakın tasarımı Senfoni orkestrası içinde ise, ‘’tahta üflemeliler’’ grubunda Obue ve Fagot ailesi ile birlikte yer alan Flüt ailesi şu enstrümanlardan oluşur: • Piccolo flüt • Sol flüt (alto) • Do flüt • • Piccolo Flüt: . İng.: Piccolo, Alm.:Kleine Flöte, It.: Flauto Piccolo (ottavino: bir oktav üstten). Orkestrada bir tane bulunur. Piccolo flütlerde kuyruk kısmı yoktur ve 30 cm uzunluğundadır Piccolo partisi genellikle flüt grubunun üst registerini genişletmek için kullanılır. Orkestra içinde ‘’tutti’’lerde bile sivrilebilir; orkestra tınısına parlaklık getirir. Çoğu zaman (sololar hariç) flütlerde birlikte kullanılır. Orkestrada daimi bir enstürmandır. Piccolo flüt, büyük flütün hemen hemen yarısı kadar uzunluktadır. Büyük flütteki kuyruk bölümü piccolo flütte yoktur. Bu nedenle de büyük flütün en kalın sesleri olan Do ve Do diyez sesleri küçük flütte bulunmaz. -

Reed Instruments About Reeds
Reed Instruments About Reeds A reed is a thin elastic strip of cane fixed at one end and free at the other. It is set into vibration by moving air. Reeds are the sound generators in the instruments described below. Cane reeds are built as either double or single reeds. A double reed consists of two pieces of cane carved and bound into a hollow, round shape at one end and flattened out and shaved thin at the other. The two pieces are tied together to form an channel. The single reed is a piece of cane shaved at one end and fastened at the other to a mouthpiece. Single Reed Instruments Clarinet: A family of single reed instruments with mainly a cylindrical bore. They are made of grenadilla (African blackwood) or ebonite, plastic, and metal. Clarinets are transposing instruments* and come in different keys. The most common ones used in orchestras are the clarinet in A and the clarinet in Bb. When a part calls for a clarinet in A, the player may either double -i.e. play the clarinet in A, or play the clarinet in Bb and transpose* the part as he plays. During the time of Beethoven, the clarinet in C was also in use and players were expected to be able to play all three instruments when required. All clarinets are notated in the treble clef and have approximately the same written range: E below middle C to c´´´´ (C five ledger lines above the staff). Bass Clarinet: A member of the clarinet family made of wood, which sounds an octave lower than the Clarinet in Bb. -

Duo Sonatas and Sonatinas for Two Clarinets, Or Clarinet and Another Woodwind Instrument: an Annotated Catalog
DUO SONATAS AND SONATINAS FOR TWO CLARINETS, OR CLARINET AND ANOTHER WOODWIND INSTRUMENT: AN ANNOTATED CATALOG D.M.A. 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 Yu-Ju Ti, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 D.M.A Document Committee: Approved by Professor James Pyne, co-Advisor Professor Alan Green, co-Advisor ___________________________ Professor James Hill Co-advisor Professor Robert Sorton ___________________________ Co-advisor Music Graduate Program Copyright by Yu-Ju Ti 2009 ABSTRACT There are few scholarly writings that exist concerning unaccompanied duet literature for the clarinet. In the late 1900s David Randall and Lowell Weiner explored the unaccompanied clarinet duets in their dissertations “A Comprehensive Performance Project in Clarinet Literature with an Essay on the Clarinet Duet From ca.1715 to ca.1825” and “The Unaccompanied Clarinet Duet Repertoire from 1825 to the Present: An Annotated Catalogue”. However, unaccompanied duets for clarinet and another woodwind instrument are seldom mentioned in the academic literature and are rarely performed. In an attempt to fill the void, this research will provide a partial survey of this category. Because of the sheer volume of the duet literature, the scope of the study will be limited to original compositions entitled Sonata or Sonatina written for a pair of woodwind instruments which include at least one clarinet. Arrangements will be cited but not discussed. All of the works will be annotated, evaluated, graded by difficulty, and comparisons will be made between those with similar style. -

Gage, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Randall Goldberg, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ James C. Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C. -

Steltzner The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. Abstract This thesis explores and traces the history of the clarinet in South Africa. After discussing the problems of researching western European music history in South Africa from the arrival of the Dutch in 1652, and briefly summarising that music history up to the first clarinet reference, the thesis goes through the existing clarinet references. These have been sourced from travellers’ journals, newspapers, military histories, other theses, etc., with particular emphasis on the 19th century, since the clarinet was introduced to South Africa near the beginning of it, and the most unknown part of the clarinet’s South African history is within it. -

The Bass Clarinetist's Pedagogical Guide to Excerpts
THE BASS CLARINETIST’S PEDAGOGICAL GUIDE TO EXCERPTS FROM THE WIND BAND LITERATURE Britni Cheyenne Bland, B.M., M.M Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2015 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor John C. Scott, Committee Member Debbie Rohwer, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Department of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Bland, Britni Cheyenne. The Bass Clarinetist’s Pedagogical Guide to Excerpts from the Wind Band Literature. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance) August 2015, 44 pp., 14 musical examples, 7 figures, 20 references. Student clarinet performers often encounter bass clarinet for the first time in a high school or university wind ensemble, so it is logical for clarinet pedagogues to encourage and assist their students in learning this wind band literature. In addition to becoming familiar with this oft performed repertoire, students will develop a set of specialized bass clarinet skills that one cannot learn on soprano clarinet. These skills include increased air capacity and support, timbre consistency in differing registers, intonation tendencies of the lower instrument, voicing flexibility, right hand thumb dexterity for keys that do not exist on soprano clarinet, technical facility for eleven pinky keys (as opposed to the seven pinky keys on a typical soprano clarinet0, and effective altissimo fingerings. The purpose, then, of this document is to provide a performance guide for select bass clarinet solo excerpts from the wind band literature and to provide supplemental exercises intended to help students acquire the specialized bass clarinet skill set they will need in order to perform the selected excerpts successfully. -

A bit of clarinet history All wind and brass players The clarinet developed quite late in the history of the orchestra. It wasn’t until have an embouchure, but Denner turned the chalumeau into the clarinetto in the 18th century that the clarinet had the versatility to work as an orchestral instrument. Denner’s advances saw the in instruments without a clarinet grow in pitch range (see classroom task about pitch) and in its ability to reed (such as the fute or jump between different notes quickly. The modern clarinet has three basic registers, known as chalumeau (after the clarinet’s historic predecessor), clarion and altissimo. trumpet), the embouchure The actual sound each clarinet makes can vary hugely though, depending on the is simply the formation player, the mouthpiece, the temperature and of course the type of music it is playing. -

MORE THAN ITS SOUND: THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL REASONS BEHIND THE SAXOPHONE'S EXCLUSION FROM THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Kyle Beaudoin An Honors Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment for Honors in The Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance The School of Arts and Sciences Rhode Island College 2017 i ABSTRACT The purpose of this project is to uncover the reasons why the saxophone was not integrated into the orchestra. Through an examination of political, economic, and cultural accounts of Paris during the nineteenth century, this paper attempts to examine the effects on the saxophone’s reception. During the nineteenth century, French composers had a vehement fascination with timbre and the manipulation of its effects as a new aesthetic dimension in music; the perfect environment for an entirely new timbre to be added to ensembles, let alone introduced.
