Physics of wind instruments and organ pipes 1100-2010 (Tastata. Studi e documenti) by Patrizio Barbieri

Book description
This is a book to be consulted rather than one to read in a single session. Certainly it is unique: there is no other that covers the same ground so comprehensively. J. NORMAN, The Organ Yearbook, XLIII (2014) … research on the musical instruments includes their historical development, the evolution of construction techniques, materials employed, timbre characteristics, sound yield and much besides… as essential an instrument to science historians as it is to musicians and musicologists. P. P. DONATI, Informazione organistica, XXVI-1 (2014) In conclusion, I think Barbieri has given us a very valuable book, summarizing as it does nine centuries of acoustical thinking about wind instruments and organ pipes. It is definitely a reference book, not an introductory text. The density of information is very high, and I would not suggest reading it from beginning to end like a novel. R. PYLE, The Galpin Society Journal, LXVIII (2015) It is a welcome ? and important ? addition to a still very much understudied field. The book should be received as nothing less than Barbieri’s opus magnum. … Complete with an extensive bibliography and a detailed index, this book, when regarded as a reference manual rather than a standard historical narrative, will be an essential entry point to the study of musical instruments.

Reed Instruments. The Montagu Collection. An Annotated Catalogue (Fallen Leaf Reference Books in Music) by Jeremy Montagu

Book description
The Montagu Collection, of worldwide coverage and all types of instruments, began to take shape in the early 1960's when what had been a small and very random collection was then rapidly expanded to illustrate lectures, and to provide material for research, on all aspects of organology. By 1967, when Jeremy Montagu mounted an exhibition in Sheffield and for that reason started his ledger catalogue, the number of instruments had reached about 450. It has now, thirty years later, reached nearly 2,500. The Collection is always accessible to interested persons.

The Clarinet (Yale Musical Instrument Series) by Eric Hoeprich

Book description
The clarinet has a long and rich history as a solo, orchestral, and chamber musical instrument. In this broad-ranging account Eric Hoeprich, a performer, teacher, and expert on historical clarinets, explores its development, repertoire, and performance history. Looking at the antecedents of the clarinet, as well as such related instruments as the chalumeau, basset horn, alto clarinet, and bass clarinet, Hoeprich explains the use and development of the instrument in the Baroque age. The period from the late 1700s to Beethoven's early years is shown to have fostered ever wider distribution and use of the instrument, and a repertoire of increasing richness. The first half of the nineteenth century, a golden age for the clarinet, brought innovation in construction and great virtuosity in performance, while the following century and a half produced a surge in new works from many composers. The author also devotes a chapter to the role of the clarinet in bands, folk music, and jazz.

The Oboe (Yale Musical Instrument Series) by Mr. Geoffrey Burgess, Bruce Haynes

Book description
The oboe, including its earlier forms the shawm and the hautboy, is an instrument with a long and rich history. In this book two distinguished oboist-musicologists trace that history from its beginnings to the present time, discussing how and why the oboe evolved, what music was written for it, and which players were prominent. Geoffrey Burgess and Bruce Haynes begin by describing the oboe’s prehistory and subsequent development out of the shawm in the mid-seventeenth century. They then examine later stages of the instrument, from the classical hautboy to the transition to a keyed oboe and eventually the Conservatoire-system oboe. The authors consider the instrument’s place in Romantic and Modernist music and analyze traditional and avant-garde developments after World War II. Noting the oboe’s appearance in paintings and other iconography, as well as in distinctive musical contexts, they examine what this reveals about the instrument’s social function in different eras. Throughout the book they discuss the great performers, from the pioneers of the seventeenth century to the traveling virtuosi of the eighteenth, the masters of the romantic period and the legends of the twentieth century such as Gillet, Goossens, Tabuteau, and Holliger. With its extensive illustrations, useful technical appendices, and discography, this is a comprehensive and authoritative volume that will be the essential companion for every woodwind student and performer.
