Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instrumentation In the selection of Illustrative passages the author has been guided by the desire to render his work useful, as far as possible, to those who might have in their libraries other treatises on Instrumentation. He has therefore endeavoured to avoid quoting extracts already given by Berlioz and other authors and he has in every instance selected examples from scores in his own library, and not from other instruction-books, for the purposes of illustration. It has always appeared to him a curious thing that although Mendelssohn is, from the purity and fine taste displayed in his instrumentation, one of the best possible models for the young composer, hardly any of the treatises previously published contain so much as one illustration taken from his works. His scores have therefore been somewhat freely drawn upon for the present volume. The author's general plan has been to quote from works less accessible to the student, rather than from those which he could easily procure for himself. It would be dishonest not to acknowledge the many valuable hints which the author has Obtained from the treatises of Gevaert and Lobe - two of the best works on Instrumentation ever written. Those who have a knowledge Of the French and German languages are strongly advised to consult these books for themselves. They will find there much useful information conveyed in a singularly clear and interesting form. In Spite Of the care which has been expended on the present book, the author dares not flatter himself that no important inaccuracies or omissions will be found in it. It is indeed almost inevitable that, in a work containing such a multiplicity Of details, errors will creep in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catechism of Orchestration: Introduction to Instrumentation The Catechism of Musical Instruments, while dealing primarily with the compass, the technical possibilities, and the aesthetic effects of the single instruments, concerns itself also with the more important and usual combinations of instruments into special contrasting groups (strings, wood wind, brass), and makes occasional references to the rele these groups as well as the single instruments play in the Orchestra and the Ensemble. It is thus the sub title Guide to Instrumentation is justified. If, therefore, in the present little volume I give a special introduction to Instrumentation, a few explanatory remarks may be required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Time Nautical Instruments Based on this instrument, by laying out the circle on a table, John Davis, the explorer, devised his quadrant in 1586. At first the observer used it by facing the sun, as the cross-staff had been used, but a better form was made later where the observer had the sun at his back. This instrument has been called by sailors jackass quad rant and, supposedly from its shape, hog yoke. In early books on navi gation it is called sea quadrant. The earlier form used by the observer standing back to the sun had a solid shade vane which slid along the smaller arc of the instrument. By adjusting this a little short of the sup posed altitude oi the sun and sighting the horizon through the minute hole in the sight vane until it was seen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Instrumentation: For School, Popular, and Symphony Orchestras; A Treatise The articles which are here presented in book-form were originally printed in the musical courier between January and June, 1923. It is necessary to establish the date, and will become more so as time goes on, because of the rapidly changing character of the American popular orchestra. The state ments that are here made about popular instrumentation are true to-day; they were only partially true ten years ago; and they may not be true ten years from now. Our popular orchestras may, and probably will, continue to change, leaning more or less in the direction of wood or strings, or brass, or saxophones.
