Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Les Sœurs Andrews accompagnées par l'orchestre d'Harry James chantent « Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree » dans le film Private Buckaroo de 1942. Filles d'un immigrant grec et d'une mère américaine d'origine norvégienne, elles naissent dans les années 1910 à Minneapolis dans le Minnesota. Elles apparurent aussi dans des films du duo Abbott et Costello, Deux nigauds soldats et Deux nigauds marins, sortis en 1941. The Andrew Sisters - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B - Cover by The Honeybee Trio. Bugle. American naval bugler in 1917 Military bugle in Japan Bugle used by American militaries in the mid-19th century History[edit] Roman Bugle, 4th century. The first verifiable formal use of a brass bugle as a military signal device was the Halbmondbläser, or half-moon bugle, used in Hanover in 1758.
Uses[edit] The bugle is used mainly in the military and Boy Scouts, where the bugle call is used to indicate the daily routines of camp. The bugle is used to play Taps or the Last Post in military rites at funerals. Civilian drum corps were founded using equipment sold off by the military in the early 1900s, and the last official change made to the military bugle (before its role as a signaling device was rendered obsolete by the radio) was to standardize them in the key of G. A challenge for those attempting to define bugles with such a general classification is to explain how bugles are different from any other kind of brass band instrument. Variations[edit] Pitches of bugles[edit] References[edit]
Trumpet. There are several types of trumpet. The most common is a transposing instrument pitched in B♭ with a tubing length of about 148 cm. Earlier trumpets did not have valves, but modern instruments generally have either three piston valves or, more rarely, three rotary valves. Each valve increases the length of tubing when engaged, thereby lowering the pitch. A musician who plays the trumpet is called a trumpet player or trumpeter. History[edit] In medieval times, trumpet playing was a guarded craft, its instruction occurring only within highly selective guilds. Trumpet player c.1660-1665 Reproduction Baroque trumpet by Michael Laird Notwithstanding the real loftiness and distinguished nature of its quality of tone, there are few instruments that have been more degraded (than the trumpet). The attempt to give the trumpet more chromatic freedom in its range saw the development of the keyed trumpet, but this was a largely unsuccessful venture due to the poor quality of its sound.
Construction[edit] Piccolo trumpet. Piccolotrumpet in B♭, with separate leadpipes to tune the instrument to B♭ (shorter) or A (longer) The smallest of the trumpet family is the piccolo trumpet, pitched one octave higher than the standard B♭ trumpet. Most piccolo trumpets are built to play in either B♭ or A, using a separate leadpipe for each key. The tubing in the B♭ piccolo trumpet is one-half the length of that in a standard B♭ trumpet. Piccolo trumpets in G, F, and even high C are also manufactured, but are rarer. The piccolo trumpet in Bb is a transposing instrument, which sounds a minor seventh higher than written. It is, however, rarely written for specifically; it is often just used at the player's discretion to cover high material as appropriate. The soprano trumpet in D, also known as the Bach trumpet, was invented in about 1890 by the Belgian instrument maker Victor Mahillon to play the high trumpet parts in music by Bach and Handel.
See also[edit] External links[edit] Bass trumpet. The bass trumpet is a type of low trumpet which was first developed during the 1820s in Germany. It is usually pitched in 8' C or 9' B♭ today, but is sometimes built in E♭ and is treated as a transposing instrument sounding either an octave, a sixth or a ninth lower than written, depending on the pitch of the instrument. Having valves and the same tubing length, the bass trumpet is quite similar to the valve trombone, although the bass trumpet has a harder, more metallic tone. Certain modern manufacturers offering 'valve trombones' and 'bass trumpets' use the same tubing, valves, and bell, in different configurations - in these cases the bass trumpet is virtually identical to the valve trombone.
History[edit] Wagner's bass trumpet[edit] Richard Wagner's first intention for Der Ring des Nibelungen was a bass trumpet in 13' E♭, based on the instruments he would have come across during his dealings with military bands. Notation[edit] The bass trumpet is usually notated in the treble clef. Slide trumpet. The slide trumpet is a type of trumpet that is fitted with a slide much like a trombone. The slide trumpet grew out of the war trumpet as used and developed in Western and Central Europe: Don Smithers in The Music and History of the Baroque Trumpet before 1721, argues that the slide grew out of the detachable leadpipe, and separated the use of the trumpet as a dance instrument from the trumpet as a signaling device in war.
There are several types of slide trumpet of different places and eras. Medieval slide trumpet[edit] The Medieval slide trumpet, which developed from the war trumpet, and which developed into the trombone, the Renaissance slide trumpet, and the Baroque slide trumpet. Renaissance slide trumpet[edit] Deriving from early straight trumpets, the Renaissance slide trumpet was essentially a natural trumpet with a sliding leadpipe. This single slide was rather awkward, as the entire corpus of the instrument moved, and the range of the slide was probably no more than a major third. Trombone. A person who plays the trombone is called a trombonist or trombone player. Construction[edit] A disassembled trombone. From left to right: mouthpiece, outer slide, bell section, inner slide. A tenor trombone mouthpiece The trombone is a predominantly cylindrical tube bent into an elongated "S" shape. The 'slide', the most distinctive feature of the trombone (cf. valve trombone), allows the player to extend the length of the air column, lowering the pitch.
Like the trumpet, the trombone is considered a cylindrical bore instrument since it has extensive sections of tubing, principally in the slide section, that are of continuous diameter. History[edit] Renaissance and Baroque periods[edit] When the sackbut returned to common use again in England in the 18th century, Italian music was so influential that it was known as the "trombone",[1] although other countries used the same name throughout the instrument's history, viz. Classical period[edit] Romantic period[edit] 19th-century orchestras[edit] Tuba. History[edit] Prussian Patent No. 19 was granted to Wilhelm Friedrich Wieprecht and Johann Gottfried Moritz (1777–1840)[3] on September 12, 1835 for a "basstuba" in F1. The original Wieprecht and Moritz instrument used five valves of the Berlinerpumpen type that were the forerunners of the modern piston valve.
The first tenor tuba was invented in 1838 by Carl Wilhelm Moritz (1810–1855), son of Johann Gottfried Moritz. Adolphe Sax, like Wieprecht, was interested in marketing systems of instruments from soprano to bass, and developed a series of brass instruments known as saxhorns. The instruments developed by Sax were generally pitched in E♭ and B♭, while the Wieprecht "basstuba" and the subsequent Cerveny contrabass tuba were pitched in F and C (see below on pitch systems). Roles[edit] An orchestra usually has a single tuba, though an additional tuba may be asked for. Well known and influential parts for the tuba include: Types and construction[edit] Size vs. pitch[edit] Valves[edit] Euphonium. The euphonium derives its name from the Greek word euphonos,[1] meaning "well-sounding" or "sweet-voiced" (eu means "well" or "good" and phonos means "of sound", so "of good sound").
The euphonium is a valved instrument; nearly all current models are piston valved, though rotary valved models do exist. A person who plays the euphonium is sometimes called a euphoniumist, euphophonist, or a euphonist, while British players often colloquially refer to themselves as euphists, or euphologists. Similarly, the instrument itself is often referred to as eupho or euph. Name recognition and misconceptions[edit] The euphonium is part of the family of brass band instruments. In spite of the presence of "double bell euphoniums and big bassoons" in "Seventy-six Trombones", the signature song from The Music Man (1957), most non-musician members of the general public in the United States do not recognize the name "euphonium" and confuse the instrument with the baritone horn.

Pitch (music) In musical notation, the different vertical positions of notes indicate different pitches. Play top & Play bottom Pitch may be quantified as a frequency, but pitch is not a purely objective physical property; it is a subjective psychoacoustical attribute of sound. Historically, the study of pitch and pitch perception has been a central problem in psychoacoustics, and has been instrumental in forming and testing theories of sound representation, processing, and perception in the auditory system.[5] In most cases, the pitch of complex sounds such as speech and musical notes corresponds very nearly to the repetition rate of periodic or nearly-periodic sounds, or to the reciprocal of the time interval between repeating similar events in the sound waveform.[8][9] Pitch depends to a lesser degree on the sound pressure level (loudness, volume) of the tone, especially at frequencies below 1,000 Hz and above 2,000 Hz.
The relative perception of pitch can be fooled, resulting in aural illusions. Clarinet. The word clarinet may have entered the English language via the French clarinette (the feminine diminutive of Old French clarin or clarion), or from Provençal clarin, "oboe".[1] It "is plainly a diminutive of clarino, the Italian for trumpet", and the Italian clarinetto is the source of the name in many other languages.
According to Johann Gottfried Walther, writing in 1732, the reason for the name was that "it sounded from far off not unlike a trumpet". This may indicate its strident quality in the upper register, although in the low register it was "feeble and buzzing". The English form clarinet is found as early as 1733, and the now-archaic clarionet appears from 1784 until the early years of the 20th century.[2] Characteristics[edit] Sound[edit] Bass clarinet Range[edit] Defining the top end of a clarinet’s range is difficult, since many advanced players can produce notes well above the highest notes commonly found in method books.
Acoustics[edit] Schüller's quarter-tone clarinet. Saxophone. Bore (wind instruments) The bore of a wind instrument is its interior chamber that defines a flow path through which air travels and is set into vibration to produce sounds. The shape of the bore has a strong influence on the instrument's timbre. The diameter of a cylindrical bore remains constant along its length.
The acoustic behavior depends on whether the instrument is stopped (closed at one end and open at the other), or open (at both ends). For an open pipe, the wavelength produced by the first normal mode (the fundamental note) is approximately twice the length of the pipe. The wavelength produced by the second normal mode is half that, that is, the length of the pipe, so its pitch is an octave higher; thus an open cylindrical bore instrument overblows at the octave.
This corresponds to the second harmonic, and generally the harmonic spectrum of an open cylindrical bore instrument is strong in both even and odd harmonics. Instruments having a cylindrical, or mostly cylindrical, bore include: Dzakye M - Music instru... Viola By Choice. Difference of violin and viola Part One. Viola. Music that is written for the viola differs from that of most other instruments, in that it primarily uses the alto clef, which is otherwise rarely used. Viola music employs the treble clef when there are substantial sections of music written in a higher register. The viola occasionally has a major role in orchestral music. In the earlier part of the 20th century, more composers began to write for the viola, encouraged by the emergence of specialized soloists such as Lionel Tertis. Englishmen Arthur Bliss, York Bowen, Benjamin Dale, and Ralph Vaughan Williams all wrote chamber and concert works for Tertis.
William Walton, Bohuslav Martinů and Béla Bartók wrote well-known viola concertos. The "MacDonald" Stradivarius viola, one of only 10 surviving violas made by Antonio Stradivari, and which was once played by Peter Schidlof, will have an initial asking price of $45 million when it is put up for sale at Sotheby's in spring 2014.

Violas da gamba have a long history. What's a viola da gamba? The viola da gamba (also called the "viol" or "gamba") is not a fretted cello! It may look like one, but a cello has 4 strings and a viol usually has 6, like a guitar, or 7. In addition, the viol's frets aren't permanently set, like those of a guitar, but are instead made of gut tied onto the neck, like those of a lute, and are therefore movable. Viols are bowed, like cellos, but the bow is held differently-not overhand, as is a violin or cello bow, but underhand, like a pencil or chopsticks. Viols are also tuned differently than are cellos. Cellos (and violins and violas) are tuned in fifths. Viols are tuned in fourths, with a third between the third and fourth strings, just like a lute and almost like a guitar. Chords can easily be played on the viol with the bow and are often included in solo music.
Like the cello, the bass viola da gamba is part of a family. Viols have a long history. The sound of the viol is sweet and shimmering, quieter than that of violins, violas, or cellos.
