Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new book series ANTIQUARIAN WRITINGS IN MUSIC ARCHAEOLOGY brings to light forgotten works of 19th and early 20th century authors in combining high-quality reprints with commentaries on the life and work of these early authors. The first volume celebrates the 150th anniversary of Carl Engel's groundbreaking work THE MUSIC OF THE MOST ANCIENT NATIONS (1864). Long before music archaeology and ethnomusicology became disciplines, Carl Engel (1818-1882) was the first scholar to undertake revolutionary research into our musical past, taking into account all sources available at the time. Like other 19th century scholars, he referred to archaeological finds of musical instruments, works of art with musical scenes and written testimonials on the musical life of the past, but the level of integration of these sources was outstanding. Furthermore, being thoroughly ahead of the times, he compared the historical sources with ethnographic sources and traditional music from all over the world in order to make interpretations of the musical past. THE MUSIC OF THE MOST ANCIENT NATIONS was reprinted once in Carl Engel's lifetime (1870), and facsimiles of the first edition were published in 1909 and 1929. The present reprint is made from the 1929 facsimile with the additional inclusion of three photographs of recent finds, namely the silver trumpet from the tomb of king Tut-Ankh-Amun and the harp from queen Pu-Abi from Ur. These photographs are now printed on art print paper. The present edition also contains, in the form of supplements, the title page of the first edition and Carl Engel's introduction from the second edition. Special care has been taken in reproducing the original woodcuts and restoring the musical notations, which were partly washed out due to a defective print of the first editions. The reprint is complemented by two commentaries on Engel's life, three commentaries on individual chapters of THE MUSIC OF THE MOST ANCIENT NATIONS, and a timeline of Engel's world. The commentaries, written by Graeme Lawson, Bennett Zon, Sam Mirelman Sibylle Emerit, and Theodore W. Burgh, discuss Engel's work in the light of present-day scholarship. The historiographical reflection makes the present edition an indispensable tool for everyone interested in the study of past music cultures and their present traces.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of the Most Ancient Nations, Particularly of the Assyrians, Egyptians, and Hebrews: With Special Reference to Recent Discoveries in Western Asia and in Egypt It is not without hesitation that I offer to the public the present contribution to the history of music. I am fully aware that, in having to express myself in a language which is not my mother tongue, I labour under considerable disadvantage. Nevertheless, I venture to hope for the reader's indulgence on this point, for the following reasons. For years I have taken every opportunity of ascertaining the distinctive characteristics of the music not only of civilized but also of uncivilized nations. I soon saw that the latter is capable of yielding important suggestions for the science and history of music, just as the languages of savage nations are useful in philological and ethnological inquiries. As I proceeded, I became more and more convinced that, in order to understand clearly the music of the various modern nations, it was necessary to extend my researches to the music of ancient nations. Thus my attention was directed to the Assyrian monuments in the British Museum. All the facts which I have been able to gather from them must be considered as a new addition to our history of music, and one by no means unimportant to the musician.

Download or read book A Compendium of Musical Instruments and Instrumental Terminology in the Bible written by Yelena Kolyada and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A Compendium of Musical Instruments and Instrumental Terminology in the Bible' draws on extensive historical research, comparative linguistic analysis and musical study to offer the first compilation of its kind. The volume examines the entire range of musical instruments in the Bible - stringed, wind and percussion - drawing on ancient and modern translations of the Bible and the works of rabbinic teachers, Church Fathers and medieval, renaissance and contemporary scholars. The book offers a historical survey of Hebrew instrumental music - its origins and links with neighbouring cultures, the role of instruments in the religious, social, public and private life of ancient Israel, and the system of musical education - and explores the understanding of Hebrew musical instruments in post-biblical times. This comprehensive volume will be invaluable to musicologists, archaeologists, theologians, historians, philologists and Bible translators, as well as general readers in the subject.
