Partial covering of the holes is an essential part of the playing technique of all recorders. Music notes are written on a set of horizontal lines and spaces called a music staff (stave). The breaking of beaming could be an indication of changes in register or tonal quality, the rests introduced to allow the players time to change instruments, and the markings of f and p further indicative of register or sound changes. Potential sizes include: great bass in F2; bass in B♭2 or C3; basset in F3 or G3; tenor in C4 or D4; alto in F4, G4 or A4; and soprano in C5 or D5.[21]. As conventions and instruments vary, especially for larger and more uncommon instruments, it is often practical to state the recorder's lowest note along with its name to avoid confusion. The partial opening of the thumbhole may be achieved by sliding or rolling the thumb off the hole, or by bending the thumb at the first knuckle. The note is written on the staff and above is the fingering on the flute. [97][98], Similarities in fingering and design make the csakan at least a close relative of the recorder. [111] Invented by Carl Dolmetsch in 1957, he first used the bell-key system publicly in 1958. [75] This section first discusses repertoire marked for the recorder, then briefly, other repertoire played on recorder. How to hit the low notes on your recorder! [90] Similar developments occurring in many other orchestral instruments to make them louder, increase their range, and increase their tonal consistency did not simultaneously occur in the case of the recorder. The use of the tongue to stop and start the air is called "articulation". The earliest surviving recorders of this type were made by the Rafi family, instrument makers active in Lyons in Southern France in the early 16th century. Recorder player Sophie Westbrooke was a finalist in the 2014 competition.[104]. Rare sizes and notations include the garklein, which may be notated two octaves below its sounding pitch, and the sub-contrabass, which may be notated an octave above its sounding pitch. Its pipes play at F4 and B♭4. Playability All the notes come satisfactorily. Notes with a single node are in the first register, notes with two nodes in the second register, etc. Nonetheless, understanding of the instrument and its practice in this period is still developing. Many reasons supporting the conventional view that the recorder declined have been proposed. In 1556, French author Philibert Jambe de Fer gave a set of fingerings for hybrid instruments such as the Rafi and Grece instruments that give a range of two octaves. Purchase a fingering chart in most sheet music stores or find one online. A complementary view recently advanced by Nikolaj Tarasov is that the recorder, rather than totally disappearing, evolved in similar ways to other wind instruments through the addition of keys and other devices, and remained in use throughout the 19th century, with its direct descendant's popularity overlapping with the late 19th and early 20th century recorder revival. In either case, more ergonomically placed keys can be used to cover the tone holes. [78] Some Italian paintings from the 16th-century show aristocracy of both sexes playing the recorder, however many gentlemen found it unbecoming to play because it uses the mouth, preferring the lute and later the viol. See the table above for "English" fingerings for the standard range. They each survive a single hastily written manuscript copy, each titled Con.to per Flautino (Concerto for little flute) with the additional note Gl'istrom.ti trasportati alla 4a (The instruments transpose by a fourth) in RV 443 and Gl'istrom.ti alla 4ta Bassa (The instruments lower by a fourth) in RV 445. Modern recorder parts are notated in the key they sound in. The Syntagma musicum (1614–20) of Michael Praetorius (1571–1621) in three volumes (a fourth was intended but never finished) is an encyclopedic survey of music and musical instruments. This technique is an important tool for intonation, and is related to the fixed process of tuning a recorder, which involves the adjustment of the size and shape of the finger holes through carving and the application of wax. The recorder produces sound in the manner of a whistle or an organ flue pipe. Tarasov has contested Heberle's status as the inventor of the instrument, and has argued that the csakan grew out of a Hungarian war hammer of the same name, which was converted into a recorder, perhaps for playing military music. To partially cover an open hole, the reverse is possible. While most of the music attributed to the consort uses only a range of a thirteenth, it is possible that the Bassano's were familiar with Ganassi's extended range.[77]. In practice, however, the uncovering of the holes is not strictly sequential, and the half covering or uncovering of holes is an essential part of recorder technique. Fontegara can be broadly divided into two parts: the first concerns the technique of playing the recorder, the second demonstrated divisions (regole, passagi, ornaments), some of great complexity, which the player may use to ornament a melody or, literally, "divide" it into smaller notes. The csakan was played using the fingerings of a recorder in C, and was typically pitched in A♭ or G and played as a transposing instrument. For example, at the same air speed the fingering 0123 5 sounds higher than 01234 but lower than 0123. For Ganassi, imitation of the voice has three aspects: "a certain artistic proficiency," which seems to be the ability to perceive the nature of the music, prontezza (dexterity or fluency), achieved "by varying the pressure of the breath and shading the tone by means of suitable fingering," and galanteria (elegance or grace), achieved by articulation, and by the use of ornaments, the "simplest ingredient" of them being the trill, which varies according to the expression. Some of the earliest music must have been vocal repertory. There is a lot of music written for recorder but not all of it includes the recorder songs with letter notes. The first significant explanation for the recorder's decline was proposed by Waitzman (1967),[89] who proposed six reasons: In the Baroque, the majority of professional recorder players were primarily oboists or string players. The shape of the mouth and vocal tract affect are closely related to the consonant used to articulate. Like Virdung, Agricola takes it for granted that recorders should be played in four-part consorts. [10], The English verb "record" (from Middle French recorder, early 13th century) meant "to learn by heart, to commit to memory, to go over in one's mind, to recite" but it was not used in English to refer to playing music until the 16th century, when it gained the meaning "silently practicing a tune" or "sing or render in song" (both almost exclusively referring to songbirds), long after the recorder had been named. Musical notation for the recorder is the same as it is for any instrument. Today, there are many professional recorder players who demonstrate the instrument's full solo range and a large community of amateurs. Avoid squeaks and reach a clean and sonorous tone. The numbers at the top correspond to the fingers and the holes on the recorder. Most wind bands consisted of players playing sackbutts, shawms, and other loud instruments doubling on recorder. In the 1970s, when recorder makers began to make the first models of recorders from the 16th and 17th centuries, such models were not always representative of the playing characteristics of the original instruments. The sound is also affected by the turbulence of the air entering the recorder. They also included novel solutions to the problem of condensation: most commonly, a sea sponge was placed inside the wind chamber (the conical chamber above the windway) to soak up moisture, while novel solutions such as the insertion of a thin wooden wedge into the windway, the drilling of little holes in the side of the block to drain condensation and a complex system for draining condensation through a hollowed out block developed, were also developed. The air stream is affected by the shaping of the surfaces in the head of the recorder (the "voicing"), and the way the player blows air into the windway. Published in. His only other technical instruction is that the player must blow into the instrument and "learn how to coordinate the articulations ... with the fingers".[63]. The attack of the note is governed by such factors as the pressure buildup behind the tongue and shape of the articulant, while the length of the note governed by the stoppage of the air by the tongue. [clarification needed], The earliest known document mentioning "a pipe called Recordour" dates from 1388. However, it takes time to master like any other instrument. 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,434. On a Baroque recorder, the first, second, and third registers span about a major ninth, a major sixth, and a minor third respectively. Anecdotally, Arnold Dolmetsch was motivated to make his own recorders after losing a bag containing his antique instruments. Marissen also reads Bach's revisions to the recorder parts in BWV 1057 as indicative of his avoidance of F#6 in BWV 1049, a sign that he only used the difficult note when necessary in designing the part for an alto recorder in F4. [53] The performing practice of the recorder in its earliest history is not well documented, owing to the lack of surviving records from the time. [37][38] Another area is the development of instruments with a greater dynamic range and more powerful bottom notes. They feature virtuosic solo writing, and along with his concerto RV 441 and trio sonata RV 86 are his most virtuosic recorder works. Modern composers of great stature have written for the recorder, including Paul Hindemith, Luciano Berio, Jürg Baur, Josef Tal, John Tavener, Michael Tippett, Benjamin Britten, Leonard Bernstein, Gordon Jacob, Malcolm Arnold, Steven Stucky and Edmund Rubbra. Its form is usually an open-ended hollow drum which resonates upon being struck. [24][25] The term flute du quart, or fourth flute (B♭4), was used by Charles Dieupart, although curiously he treated it as a transposing instrument in relation to the soprano rather than the alto. The frontispiece to Fontegara shows three recorder players play together with two singers. [93] Around 1800 in England, the recorder ("English flute," see Name) came to be called an "English flageolet," appropriating the name of the more fashionable instrument. [69] He also adds that the position of the tongue, either extended or turned up towards the palate, can be used to improve, vary, and color notes. Transliterations of common articulation patterns include "du du du du" (using the tip of the tongue, "single tonguing") "du gu du gu," (alternating between the tip and the back of the tongue, "double tonguing") and "du g'll du g'll" (articulation with the tip and the sides of the tongue, "double tonguing"). The instrument has a cylindrical bore about 11 mm (0.43 in) in diameter and is about 300 mm (12 in) long with a vibrating air column of about 270 mm (11 in). As previously mentioned, the accuracy of these woodcuts cannot be verified as no recorders fitting this description survive. Indeed, in most European languages, the first term for the recorder was the word for flute alone. Ganassi uses three basic kinds of syllables te che, te re, and le re and also varies the vowel used with the syllable, suggesting the effect of mouth shape on the sound of the recorder. Groups of recorder players or recorder playing angels, particularly trios, are depicted in paintings from the 15th century, indicating the recorder was used in these configurations, as well as with other instruments. The recorders described in Praetorius are of the "stretched hourglass" profile (see above, far right). Rushworth. Orff's five-volume opus of educational music Music for Children contains many pieces for recorders, usually scored for other instruments as well.[113]. Until about 1695, the names "recorder" and "flute" overlapped, but from 1673 to the late 1720s in England, the word "flute" always meant recorder. The makers mark of one of the recorders, in the form of a stylized letter "A", has been associated with the Schnitzer family of instrument makers in Germany, leading Hermann Moeck to suppose that Ganassi's recorder might have been Northern European in origin. [43] These pitch standards are intended to reflect the broad variation in pitch standards throughout the history of the recorder. [3], Starting in the Middle Ages, angels have frequently been depicted playing one or more recorders, often grouped around the Virgin, and in several notable paintings trios of angels play recorders. The printed version was written in a vernacular form of Early New High German, and was aimed at wealthy urban amateur musicians: the title translates, briefly, as "Music, translated into German ... Everything there is to know about [music] – made simple." Discover our newest and most popular recorder music, including “Have Yourself a Merry … In modern usage, recorders not in C or F are alternatively referred to using the name of the closest instrument in C or F, followed by the lowest note. Fingerings with a covered bell extend the recorder's chromatic playable range above and below the nominal fingered range. [76], The English members of the Bassano family, having originated in Venice, were also probably familiar with the vocal style, advanced technique, and complex improvised ornamentation described in Ganassi's Fontegara, and they were probably among the recorder players who Ganassi reports having worked and studied with: when they were brought to England, they were regarded as some of the best wind players in Venice. The instrument has four holes finger-holes and a thumb hole for each hand. (see Renaissance structure), Transpositions ("registers"), such as C3–G3–D4, G3–D4–A4, or B♭2–F3–C4, all read as F3–C4–G4 instruments, were possible as described by Praetorius in his Syntagma Musicum. The range of a modern "baroque" model recorder is usually considered two octaves and a tone. His work has appeared in "Cold Storage," "Butcher Knives and Body Counts," "Writer's Journal," and "Lighthouse Digest.". the steepness of the ramp) among other parameters. Recorder voicing is determined by physical parameters such as the proportions and curvature of the windway along both the longitudinal and latitudinal axes, the beveled edges (chamfers) of the windway facing towards the labium, the length of the window, the sharpness of the labium (i.e. The table in this section shows the standard names of modern recorders in F and C and their respective ranges. )[6] and in Lydgate's Fall of Princes (c. 1431–1438): Pan, god off Kynde, with his pipes seuene, / Off recorderis fond first the melodies. The widely spaced doubled seventh hole persisted in later instruments. Today, makers maintaining individual workshops include Ammann, Blezinger, Bolton, Boudreau, Breukink, Brown, Coomber, Cranmore, de Paolis, Ehlert, Grinter (dead), Marvin (dead), Meyer, Musch, Netsch, Prescott, Rohmer, Takeyama, von Huene, and Wenner. The tip of your tongue should gently touch the back of your upper teeth at the point where the gum-line meets your front teeth. [71] Both instruments use fingerings of the makers' design. Virtually all recorders manufactured today claim ascendancy to an antique model and most makers active today can trace their trade directly to one of these pioneering makers. These parts would be written using chiavi naturali, allowing the parts to roughly fit in the range of a single staff, and also in the range of the recorders of the period. Munrow's 1975 double album The Art of the Recorder remains as an important anthology of recorder music through the ages. Recorder, C Instrument, Violin, Oboe, Flute and Piano Accompaniment Sheet Music Chanukah Style I Have a Little Dreydl - Piano Accompaniment: The Dreidel Song by S. E. Goldfarb, Mikhl Gelbart and Samuel S. Grossman Ocho Kandelikas - Piano Accompaniment A consort of recorders or similar make, marked "P.GRE/C/E," was donated to the Accademia in 1675, expanding the pair marked "C.RAFI". The air stream alternately travels above and below the labium, exciting standing waves in the bore of the recorder, and producing sound waves that emanate away from the window. With German fingering, this becomes a simpler 0 123 4 – – –. As a result, chromatic fingerings are difficult, and require extensive half-holing. While these early recorders played at a low pitch like that of the available originals, he did not strive for exactitude in reproduction, and by the 1930s the Dolmetsch family firm, then under the direction of Arnold's son Carl Dolmetsch, was mass-producing recorders at modern pitch with wide, straight windways, and began to produce bakelite recorders shortly after the Second World War. Anthony Rowland-Jones has suggested that the thumb hole on these early flutes was an improvement upon the flageolet to provide a stronger fingering for the note an octave above the tonic, while the seventh finger hole provided a leading tone to the tonic. Recorder Flute Clarinet Soprano Sax Alto Sax Tenor Sax Baritone Sax Oboe Bass Clarinet Bassoon Tin Whistle Alto Recorder Ocarina - Four Hole Ocarina - Six Hole Wind Groups Brass Instruments Trumpet French Horn Trombone Euphonium Baritone Horn Tuba Tenor Horn Brass Groups by Ben Newman | Dec 21, 2019. It uses 3 notes, is very repetitive, and is well-known. The vast majority of recorders manufactured today are designed to play using these fingerings, with slight variations. He prefers fleute d'Italien or the Italian flauto. 9 Recorder J. S. Bach Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring BWV 147 Recorder Anonymus Greensleeves Recorder J. S. Bach Air on G the String from Suite No. These include a 14th-century fragment of a headjoint excavated in Esslingen, Germany ("Esslingen fragment"); a birch instrument dated to the second half of the 14th century unearthed in Tartu, Estonia ("Tartu recorder"); and a fruitwood instrument dated to the 15th century, found in Elbląg, Poland ("Elbląg recorder"). producing ever higher pitches. 1806–16). He posits that Bach avoided F#6 in BWV 1049, at the cost of inferior counterpoint, reinstating them as E6 in BWV 1057. Recorders are traditionally constructed from wood and ivory, while most recorders made in recent years are constructed from molded plastic. Purcell, J. S. Bach, Telemann, and Vivaldi used the recorder to suggest shepherds and imitate birds in their music.[83]. A significant amount of music was written for the flageolet in the 19th century, such as the etudes of Narcisse Bousquet although much of it was directed at amateurs. These modern designs make it easier to be heard in concertos. Italian recorder maker Francesco Livirghi has designed a double recorder or flauto doppio with connected, angled pipes of the same length but played with different hand positions, based on iconographic sources. (Pan, god of Nature, with his pipes seven, / of recorders found first the melodies. Recorders made in the early 20th century were imitative of baroque models in their exterior form, but differed significantly in their structure. 1465?) [69], Composer and singer Philibert Jambe de Fer (c. 1515 – c. 1566) was the only French author of the 16th century to write about the recorder, in his Epitome musical. [5] Recorder parts in the Baroque were typically notated using the treble clef, although they may also be notated in French violin clef (G clef on the bottom line of the staff). The introduction of the Baroque recorder to England by a group of French professionals in 1673 popularized the French name for the instrument, "flute douce", or simply "flute", a name previously reserved for the transverse instrument. In the early 20th century, Peter Harlan developed a recorder with apparently simpler fingering, called German fingering. Bob Marvin has estimated that the pipes played a fifth apart, at approximately C5 and G5. Most of the surviving instruments from the period have a wide, cylindrical bore from the blockline to the uppermost fingerhole, an inverted conical portion down to around the lowest finger hole (the "choke"), then a slight flare to the bell. As mentioned above at Harmonic profile, blowing much harder can result in overblowing. Some recorder makers produce instruments at pitches other than the three standard pitches above, and recorders with interchangeable bodies at different pitches.[45][46]. Dart did, however, bring to light numerous newspaper references to Paisible's performance on an "echo flute" between 1713 and 1718. The modification and renaming of recorders in the 18th century in order to prolong their use, and the uncertainty of the extent of the recorder's use the late 18th and early 19th centuries have fueled these debates. The recorder songs may be downloaded absolutely free by anyone. [9] Thus, the recorder cannot have been named after the sound of birds. Around 1800, it was highly fashionable for make walking sticks with additional functions (e.g., umbrellas, swords, flutes, oboes, clarinets, horns) although the csakan was the most popular of these, and the only one that became a musical instrument in its own right. Name. As in the recorders of the Middle Ages, the etiology of these changes remains uncertain, development was regional and multiple types of recorder existed simultaneously. According to Virdung, the configurations F–C–C–G or F–C–G–G should be used for four-part music, depending on the range of the bass part. As the area was not disturbed until the modern excavation, the recorder has been dated to the period of occupation of the castle. Octave clefs may be used to indicate the sounding pitch, but usage is inconsistent. )[7][8], The instrument name "recorder" derives from the Latin recordārī (to call to mind, remember, recollect), by way of Middle French recorder (before 1349; to remember, to learn by heart, repeat, relate, recite, play music)[9][10] and its derivative MFr recordeur (c.1395; one who retells, a minstrel). The earliest extant duct flutes date to the neolithic. He is editor of the "Dark Light" anthology to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities. ◐ means half-cover. How to Read Sheet Music on the Guitar for Beginners, How to Hit Sharp Notes on a Recorder Instrument, Copyright 2021 Leaf Group Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Manufacturers have made recorders out of bakelite and other more modern plastics; they are thus easy to produce, hence inexpensive. A number of possible flautini have been proposed as the instrument intended for the performance of these concertos. On the continent his efforts were preceded by those of musicians at the Brussels Conservatoire (where Dolmetsch received his training), and by the German Bogenhauser Künstlerkapelle. This usage is not totally consistent. The recorder is a very old instrument. Another surviving Renaissance type has a narrow cylindrical bore and cylindrical profile like the medieval exemplars but a choke at the last hole. French maker Philippe Bolton created an electroacoustic recorder[110] and is among the last to offer mounted bell-keys and double bell-keys for both tenor and alto recorders. He makes a distinction between solo playing and ensemble playing, noting that what he has said is for solo players, and that when playing with others, it is most important to match them. There is also evidence of double recorders tuned in thirds, but these are not candidates for the fiauto parts in BWV 1049. These several hundred divisions use quintuplets, septuplets, note values from whole notes to 32nd notes in modern notation, and demonstrate immense variety and complexity. The bell is a percussion instrument and an idiophone. Practice playing your recorder daily. Only 10% or … notes with many holes uncovered). Another contemporary reference to the "echo flute" is in Etienne Loulié's Elements ou principes de musique (Amsterdan, 1696): Les sons de deux flutes d'echo sont differents, parce que l'un est fort, & que l'autre est foible (The sounds of two echo flutes are different, because one is strong and the other is weak). Notable composers for the instrument include Heberle and Krähmer, and Tarasov notes that piano works by Beethoven were arranged for csakan and guitar (Beethoven is reported to have owned a walking-stick csakan). Additionally, the Fitzwilliam wind manuscript (GB-Cfm 734) contains wordless motets, madrigals and dance pieces, including some by the Bassano family, probably intended for a recorder consort in six parts. Is the recorder hard to play? The German-American maker Friedrich von Huene was among the first to research recorders held in European collections and produce instruments intended to reproduce the qualities of the antiques. The pitch of the Rafi/Grece instruments is around A = 440 Hz. The immediate difference in fingering is for F (soprano) or B♭ (alto), which on a neo-baroque instrument must be fingered 0 123 4–67. Notes position on a recorder: pictures that represent the holes needed to be covered with the fingers to produce ... ceramic) FR : Cloche ES : Campana A bell is a simple sound-making device. Owing to its ubiquity as a teaching instrument and the relative ease of sound production, the recorder has occasionally been used in popular music by groups such as The Beatles;[106] the Rolling Stones (see, for example, "Ruby Tuesday"); Yes, for example, in the song "I've Seen All Good People"; Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick on Surrealistic Pillow;[107] Led Zeppelin ("Stairway to Heaven"); Jimi Hendrix;[108] Siouxsie and the Banshees;[109] Judy Dyble of Fairport Convention; Dido (e.g. Historically, such recorders did not exist as a distinct type, and the fingerings given by Ganassi were those of a skilled player particularly familiar with his instruments. On this we can only speculate. The chart uses dark and light circles to show whether to cover or uncover the holes on your recorder to produce specific notes. Nonetheless, the recorder was considered primarily an instrument of historical interest. Volume II, De Organographia (1619) is of particular interest for its description of no fewer than eight sizes of recorder (klein Flötlein or exilent in G5, discant in C5 or D5, alt in G4, tenor in C4, basset in F3, bass in B♭2, and grossbass in F2) as well as the four-holed gar kleine Plockflötlein. Marissen argues that Bach was not as consistent as Power asserts, and that Bach would have almost certainly had access to only altos in F. He corroborates this with examinations of pitch standards and notation in Bach's cantatas, in which the recorder parts are sometimes written as transposing instruments to play with organs that sounded as much as a minor third above written pitch. Forked fingerings that have a different tone color or are slightly sharp or flat can provide so-called "alternate fingerings". The name of the instrument is also uniquely English: in Middle French there is no equivalent noun sense of recorder referring to a musical instrument.[13]. For this reason, the number of professional exponents of the recorder was smaller than that of other woodwinds. For the first and last movements of the concerto, two opinions predominate: first, that both recorder parts should be played on alto recorders in F4; and second, that the first part should be played on an alto recorder in G and the second part on an alto in F. Tushaar Power has argued for the alto in G4 on the basis that Bach uses the high F#6, which can be easily played on an alto in G4, but not the low F4, a note not playable on the alto in G4. Uncertainty regarding the nature of these fittings has hindered reconstruction of the instrument's original state. Instruments marked "HIER S•" or "HIE•S" are in stacked fifths from great bass in F2 to soprano in E5. "Grafton Street" on Safe Trip Home)[citation needed]; and Mannheim Steamroller[citation needed]; Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull). [3] Donizetti owned three recorders.[69]. These innovations allowed baroque recorders to possess a tone regarded as "sweeter" than that of the earlier instruments,[82] at the expense of a reduction in volume, particularly in the lowest notes. The technique of inhalation and exhalation for the recorder differs from that of many other wind instruments in that the recorder requires very little air pressure to produce a sound, unlike reed or brasswind instruments. [48] By covering one or both of these two, smaller holes, a recorder player can play the notes a semitone above the lowest note and a minor third above the lowest note, notes that are possible on single holed recorders only through the partial covering of those holes, or the covering of the bell.
