MUSIC CLUB FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
A club association can be distinguished from other group forms by the following characteristics:
Long-term contact between members of the association, i.e. stability of the composition;
Joint activities of participants;
Voluntary, free self-determination of participants;
Active participation of members of the association in its work, the presence of the right and obligation not only to be present, to perceive information, but also to express themselves, their individuality through active action
The activities of this club are related to introducing participants to art.
Numerous keys provide tone options. Predecessor of the piano.
LIRA
An ancient string instrument. It consists of a resonant body and two curved parts that go up to a yoke, to which 4 to 10 strings are attached. Play with a plectrum or fingers. It originated from Asia, from where it came to Greece and Egypt. I was in a certain mood.
ORGAN
Musical instrument, wind, of ancient origin. Sound is produced by pumping air into tubes of various sizes. Controlled using keys. Used to perform serious works of religious music and light entertainment.
Each tube is designed to produce a specific note. Tubes of the same timbre are combined into registers. Auxiliary registers in combination with the main registers create an artificial overtone scale.
The electric organ was invented in 1934 by American engineer Lawrence Hammond (1895-1973). Other types of electric organ appeared in 1960. In them, electrical impulses in the relay replace air pressure.
PIANO
Musical instrument. A type of piano. The strings, soundboard, and mechanics are arranged vertically. PIPE
1. Longitudinal flutes - a set of pipes made of reed, clay or other material of different lengths to produce sounds of different tones. According to legend, the pipe was invented in Ancient Greece god Pan. Present in folk music traditions of Eastern Europe and Japan, South America.
2. Multi-barrel flutes, including pan flute (tsevnitsa), flute and kuvikly; vibrations are created by cutting the air stream against the sharp edge of the barrel wall, which gives the instrument a characteristic “smacking” sound. Of all the ancient instruments, they produce a relatively clear tone and simple vibrations.
STRINGED INSTRUMENTS
A class of musical instruments in which the sound source is a stretched string. Currently, strings are made from guts, metal or perlon (plastic). The class of stringed instruments includes: bowed instruments (the violin family and the viola family); plucked strings (guitar, ukulele, lute, sitar, alpha, banjo and lyre); mechanical plucked instruments (harpsichords); mechanical percussion (piano and clavichord) and percussion (dulcimer).
PIPE
One of the ancient mouthpiece instruments existing throughout the world in various types and made from different tools. He is part of the wind instruments group of a modern symphony orchestra. Consists of a cylindrical tube, straight or rolled into an oval. Produces a high, sustained sound. The trumpet is often used to give signals and also during ceremonies. Around 1820, trumpets with valves appeared, which made it possible to extract from them the full range of sounds of the chromatic scale.
The modern orchestral trumpet is prized for its clear sound. Among the varieties of trumpets: soprano, piccolo (an octave above the main one) and bass (an octave above the main one, introduced by Wagner). Brass bands usually use a flat soprano instrument. The trumpet is a traditional solo jazz instrument, and players demonstrate particular skill in the high tones.
PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT
An instrument played by striking it with the hand or a stick. Percussion instruments can be divided into those that are tuned to produce a foot-pitched sound, these include tympani, tubular bells, glionspiel, xylophone, and those that have an indeterminate pitch: Turkish drum, tambourine, triangle, cymbals and castanets.
HARMONIUM
Wind keyboard instrument XIX century. It is powered by foot-operated mechanisms and built-in lever-type pedals operating on the speaker. Patented by Deben in Paris in 1848. Got it wide
spread in the USA as a musical instrument for playing at home and in church. In France and Germany, the harmonium was widely used as a concert instrument for playing solo or in an orchestra.
PIANO
The collective name for keyboard-stringed hammer instruments (grand pianos and upright pianos). Invented in 1704 by Bartolomeo Cristofori, a master clavichord maker from Padua. The mechanism used in it was directly connected to the keys. In the 18th century, it was significantly improved and won the recognition of many composers, but only in 1768 did Bach give one of the first concerts on this instrument.
Concert grand pianos with powerful sound were invented, and mass production of small pianos for the home was launched.
CYMBALS
A musical instrument, a type of zither. It consists of a flat trapezoidal body along which strings are stretched. The sound is produced by striking with light hammers or sticks. Produces sounds that are clearly distinguishable in pitch and of a consistent nature. The range and mobility of sound is greater than that of a harp or lyre. Popular in Hungary.
IN late XIX- at the beginning of the 20th century it seemed that it was no longer possible to come up with something fundamentally new in the field of creating musical instruments. In fact, no matter how much new violins are made, they will remain violins (besides, it is unlikely that it will be possible to surpass Stradivarius and Guarneri), and a piano will always remain a piano.
Instrument-orchestra
True, some attempts in this direction were still made. So, back in 1842, the Russian writer and inventor Osip Ivanovich Senkovsky, known under the pseudonym Baron Brambeus, began creating an orchestrion - a musical instrument that alone could replace an entire orchestra. After several years of hard work, the orchestra was ready. But it turned out to be so complex that no one could play it, only Senkovsky’s wife performed a few simple pieces.
However, the inventor soon noticed some shortcomings in his machine, disassembled it and... did not reassemble it. So the orchestra remained in the history of music, rather, as a curiosity. A true revolution in the design of musical instruments was accomplished only with the advent of the era of electricity.
"The Voice of Theremin"
"Sensation in musical world! Unlimited performance possibilities! A sound born out of nowhere! Millions of tone combinations! Music that goes into space! An electric musical instrument competes with a violin and wins!” Newspapers and magazines were full of such phrases in 1918, when the Russian inventor and musician Lev Sergeevich Termen first demonstrated the new musical instrument he had created, which he called the theremin, that is, “Theremin’s voice.” What is it?
L.S. Theremin believed that “electricity is not only a mechanical soulless force that automatically performs physical work, but besides this, it is also a means of the most complete and direct influence of a person on the control of the subtlest nuances of musical harmonies.” To do this, when creating the instrument (in addition to the electrical generation of sound), he decided to reverse Special attention to “the possibility of very fine control without any expenditure of mechanical energy required to press strings or keys. Performance of music on an electric instrument should be done, for example, by free movements of the fingers in the air, similar to conductor’s gestures, at a distance from the instrument.”
Externally, a theremin is a device with antennas that resemble a conventional antenna of a transistor radio. Playing the theremin involves the musician changing the distance from his hands to the antennas of the instrument. Due to this, the capacitance of the oscillatory circuit and, as a consequence, the sound frequency changed. The vertical straight antenna was responsible for the tone of the sound, the horizontal one for its volume. To play the theremin you must have an impeccable musical ear: While playing, the musician does not touch the instrument and therefore cannot fix the position of his hands relative to it and must rely only on his ear.
In March 1922, L.S. Theremin and member of the Narkompochtel board, chairman of the Radio Council A.M. Nikolaev came to the Kremlin to see Vladimir Ilyich Lenin to show the instrument. L.S. Termen, after personally performing Scriabin’s “Etude”, Saint-Saëns’ “Swan” and Glinka’s “Lark”, began to help V.I. Lenin to play the theremin. However, it soon turned out that Lenin could play on his own, and how! He completed the performance of Glinka's "Lark" without the help of the inventor. In addition, signaling using a capacitive relay was demonstrated, the principle of operation of which was similar to the principle of operation of a theremin. Highly appreciating the prospects of the invention, Lenin wrote a note to the People's Commissar of Military Affairs Leon Trotsky:
“Discuss whether it is possible to reduce the guard duty of Kremlin cadets by introducing an electric alarm system in the Kremlin? (One engineer, Theremin, showed us his experiments in the Kremlin...)” As a result, despite all the difficulties of that time, a decree was signed on the creation of a physical and technical department at the State Radiological and Radiological Institute, where the inventor continued his research.
The structure of the theremin is so simple that today the simplest model can be built at home by any schoolchild who reads the magazine “ Young technician" However, despite all the enthusiasm, the theremin did not become widespread in music. Although now it is used, especially by performers of so-called alternative music (this usually refers to some, different from the usual, directions of modern rock music). There is a school for learning to play the theremin in Japan (under the leadership of Masami Takeuchi), and in France there is even an annual Theremin Academy by this instrument enthusiast Caroline Icke.
Bengal tiger roar
The development of electric (and later electronic) musical instruments took a different path, ultimately leading to what we hear today every day and call synthesizers. There were two directions here - along the line of creating monophonic melodic models, on which it was possible to obtain only one sound at the same time (remember musical accompaniment to the Soviet film "Solaris"), and polyphonic ones, on which it was possible to simultaneously produce any number of sounds within the keyboard. Wide use Since the 60s of the 20th century, electric organs have conquered. For example, by 1970, the American company Hammond was producing 18 types of electric organs and acoustic equipment for them. The popularity of these instruments was so high that even records were released where the names of the performers (in particular, Miguel Ramos) appeared only in the second position, and in the first position was the Hammond organ.
Naturally, there were some oddities. In 1966, through the efforts of enthusiasts, an electric organ called “Estradine” was built at the Zhytomyr Elektroizmeritel plant. The amateur orchestra, armed with this instrument, toured so successfully that it managed to win gold medal and the titles of laureates at the anniversary competition dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the revolution. But with the encore performance everything went wrong. The musicians switched registers in confusion, but instead of the promised ballet suite by Shostakovich, a hoarse roar was heard from the speakers, which even a Bengal tiger would envy. And this in the presence of high party officials! What can you do, these instruments were imperfect then. Of course, the would-be inventors were immediately stripped of their medals and titles.
Mr Hammond's mistake
In 1970, music performed by an orchestra conducted by Vyacheslav Meshcherin was broadcast on Soviet radio and television. The instruments of this orchestra included a large double-keyboard Hammond organ. It was built on the principle of harmonic synthesis of timbre (in theory - millions of consonances!) and, naturally, was very interested in Soviet designers who came to get acquainted with it. And imagine the surprise and disappointment of the engineers when, after countless manipulations with the handles, they managed to get only a dozen timbres sharply different from each other! And the rest were transitional structures that could be confused...
There was another similar case. In Moscow, at the inter-republican fair in 1966, one of the first domestic electric organs was demonstrated. At first, the responses from visitors in the guest book were enthusiastic: “Wonderful, wonderful instrument!” However, soon the enthusiasm sharply waned - “When will they finally turn off their barrel organ,” “It’s putting pressure on your ears...” And indeed, the ringing, vociferous instrument could be listened to with pleasure for several minutes, and then the sound began to seem monotonous and tired the ear.
What's the matter? Why couldn’t people spend hours enjoying the first electric organs, like a piano? But the fact is that musical sounds are a very delicate, exquisite fabric, for full characteristics which has few physical concepts such as pitch, volume, harmonic composition. The “musical picture” lives, pulsates - even during one long sound of a tone, changes in pitch, timbre, and volume occur that do not obey any obvious laws. This is explained by the fact that musical sound usually framed by noise - the rustle of a bow, the whisper of keys... Hence the vitality and warmth of the sound. Each instrument has its own character of the beginning of the sound (attack) and disappearance (decay). Once they conducted such an experiment - several outstanding performers were given tape recordings to listen to. various instruments, where the attack and decay have been erased. And what? More often than not, it was impossible to determine which instrument was sounding! Neither Mr. Hammond nor the designers of the first Soviet electric musical instruments took this into account.
Now, of course, the picture has changed. The mistakes of the past have been taken into account, and modern synthesizers have a truly inexhaustible timbre and expressive richness.
Stradivari forever
The computer era has put everything in its place, and now anyone with a computer and a desire can create and record any electronic music. We are so accustomed to these sounds that we can hardly distinguish electronic music from “live” music. And yet, no computer or synthesizer will ever replace the Stradivarius violin played by the master...
