Percussion instruments world wide with Chinese traditional percussion instruments have no detailed classification

Symphonies, concertos, suites, overtures, symphonic poems and other genres of music can be collectively referred to as "symphonic music", played by the symphony orchestra. Symphonic bands, also known as orchestras, were formed in Europe in the mid-18th century, and consisted of four groups of instruments - strings (53), woodwinds (16), brass (12), and percussion (3-4).

String instruments are the orchestra within the band, and can perform individually as a string orchestra. The string orchestra consists of:

The violin is divided into two parts: the first violin and the second violin. The former is often used to play themes in a piece of music. Violin is the highest sound area in the string instruments, the expression is very rich, gentle, deep, exciting, tough at the same time.

The viola is slightly larger than the violin, with a slightly darker tone, giving a sense of obscurity in the softness, and is mainly used for accompaniment, serving as the alto part of a string ensemble, and occasionally as a soloist.

The cello is larger than the viola, and has a beautiful, deep sound, good at expressing sincere, warm feelings.

The double bass is the largest, with a height equal to that of a human being, and needs to be played standing up. It is the instrument with the lowest register in the string orchestra, and is also the foundation of the whole symphony orchestra - the deepest bass part, which can make the rhythm of the piece firm and prominent, with a low, dusky tone.

The harp is an ancient instrument played by plucking the strings with two hands, with a bright, clear tone, good at playing chords, used to express the mood of rippling water.

Woodwinds are another family of instruments in the symphony orchestra, each of which has a rich and varied color.

The flute has a crystalline tone, like a silver bell, which is both soft and elegant and passionate, and is often used to mimic the song of a nightingale or to depict the scenery of nature.

The piccolo is one octave higher than the flute, and it is a kind of decorative instrument with the highest sound area in the symphony orchestra, and its sound is sharp, and it is often used to depict the marching of the army or the scene of howling wind.

The oboe has a bright, fresh tone and is good at expressing tender, sincere feelings. It has been described as "a glimmer of hope amidst the dark clouds of pain." We can hear a wonderful solo oboe passage in the Morning Song from the first suite of Grieg's Peer Gynt.

The English winds are slightly darker in tone than the oboe, and have a contemplative, meditative mood, giving a sense of melancholy and loneliness. It is used to depict the feelings of the past and the present.

The clarinet is both soft and warm, and is best at revealing the hidden depths of human emotion. There is also a bass clarinet, dark and slightly mysterious tone.

The tuba is quite colorful, but seems to be a little heavy, there is a "little old man", good at showing banter, mockery of emotions. Such as Bizet opera "Carmen" in the second act of the theme of the interlude, is played on the tuba.

Brass instruments are more powerful than woodwinds and strings combined, and are indispensable in the need to show the power of the orchestra. Brass instruments include:

The horn, the gentlest and most poetic of all brass instruments, has a sweet, enchanting tone that often brings a feeling of tenderness and affection to the listener.

The trumpet, with its stirring, resounding sound and golden color, is good at expressing the call to battle, the advance of armies and scenes of victory and triumph. In "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" it sketches a magnificent scene of a red sun erupting.

The trombone, used mainly for accompaniment, gives a grim, aloof feeling, but it can be gentle and emotional if its power is controlled.

The lowest voice of the tuba brass group, sounding stern and heavy, if exaggeratedly used, can also make people feel funny and ridiculous. Mussorgsky in his "Night on the Barren Hill", the tuba, trombone, played in unison with the eerie tone, symbolizing the demonic sacrifice of the "King of Darkness" image.

Percussion instruments include:

Timpani, orchestras usually use a set of three or four timpani of different pitches. They can mimic the sound of distant thunder or show the power of the orchestra during a full cadenza.

Triangle, a triangular bar of steel that is struck with a metal rod to produce a crisp sound. It can make the sound of an orchestra more elegant and beautiful.

The big drum can be used to imitate the surge of waves and the roar of cannons, or to render a warm atmosphere.

The snare drum is used to increase the rhythm of the piece.

In addition, percussion instruments include tambourines, clappers, cymbals, gongs, bells, bell pianos, xylophones, and steel sheet pianos.

China's national instrumental music has a long history. In ancient times, instrumental music performance combined with song and dance, history: "Appeal! I hit the stone pat stone, the rate of the hundred beasts dance." In the huge music and dance of the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a purely instrumental part, called the "loose sequence", and in the Han and Wei dynasties, there was the "Xianghe song": "Xianghe, the old Han song, silk and bamboo more Xianghe, the festival singers." The singers sang and struck percussion instruments to the accompaniment of silk and bamboo, which was similar to the present-day rap forms such as Henan Luzi and northern drums. To the Song Dynasty, because the art of rap is maturing, for folk songs and dances accompanied by gongs and drums and instrumental music continues to emerge, in order to perform before the static field, often played first "starting board", "eight boards" and other instrumental music. Through the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, the gongs and drums in opera art were increasingly perfected, such as "General Order", "Deep Night" and "Haunted Stage", etc., which were often played as pure instrumental music. In the process of development, national instrumental music also continued to instrumentalize some of the vocal and dance songs handed down through the ages, developing them into independent instrumental songs.

Pure instrumental music performance and creative activities in China's ancient times have long been flourishing. The "Strategies of the Warring States" contains: "Linzi is very real and rich, its people do not play yu, drums, hit the building, playing the qin." See the wide range of folk instrumental music activities. The story of "Boya's qin meets his soulmate" shows that more than 2,000 years ago, the art of the guqin had a high degree of development, and now the guqin's famous songs "Guangling San", "Plum Blossoms", etc. at the end of the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties have been produced. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were many pipa players recorded in the history books, and from Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", one can get a glimpse of the achievements of pipa playing in the Tang dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, pure instrumental music was played in the form of "fine music", "clear music", "small instruments" and "drums and boards". The "silk music" is popular nowadays. Nowadays, the popular forms of instrumental music are "Silk Bamboo", "String Poetry", "Drumming" and "Blowing and Striking", The popular folk ensembles such as "Shifan Gongs and Drums" as well as the various forms of repertoire and solo performance are the development of the traditional forms of folk instrumental music.

The main musical instruments we commonly play nowadays are: flute, suona, sheng, xiao, gaohu, erhu, jinghu, banhu, zhonghu, liuqin, yueqin, sanxian, yangqin, pipa, zheng, guqin, and Chinese gongs. Common genres of ethnic instrumental works include:

Solo pieces such as flute solo, snare solo, erhu solo, pipa solo and so on. China's famous flute solo piece has "happy report" "whip urge horse grain busy"; suona solo piece "hundred birds towards the phoenix"; erhu solo piece "two springs reflecting the moon" "empty mountain birds"; pipa solo piece "ambush on all sides" "the king unloading armor" "big waves amoying sand" and so on.

Reperto pieces such as flute duet "Double Harmony Phoenix", zheng, gaohu, yangqin trio "Spring is Coming", silk string quintet "Happy Night" and so on.

Ensemble: China's folk music ensemble is divided into the following:

Cantonese music: Silk and bamboo music popular in the Guangdong area. The early orchestra consisted of two strings, violin, flute, moon zither and three strings. Later, influenced by the silk and bamboo music of the south of the Yangtze River, it was changed to use the gaohu as the main instrument, supplemented by the yangqin and Qinqin. Guangdong music is characterized by clear and bright tones, smooth and beautiful tunes, and lively rhythms. There are popular and excellent traditional music pieces such as "Raining on the Banana", "Thunder in the Dry Sky", "Hate in Two Voices", "Racing Dragons for the Crown of Gold", "Birds Throwing themselves into the Forest" and so on.

Fujian Nanqu: also known as "Nanyin" or "stringed pipe", the tune is elegant and simple, is a long history of folk music, the most famous are: "Four Seasons", "Plum Blossom Exercise", "Eight Stallions", "Birds Returning to Their Nests". The orchestra consists of Dongxiao, Erxian, Pipa, Sanxian, Clapperboard, Suona, Rangjian, Copper Bell, Flat Drum and other instruments.

Blowing and beating music: all over the country, with a long history. The combination of bands can be divided into rough blowing gongs and drums (suona and other wind instruments and percussion instruments), fine blowing gongs and drums (composed of silk and bamboo instruments and percussion instruments), and comprehensive blowing and beating bands (a combination of rough blowing gongs and drums and fine blowing gongs and drums). Blow and beat music sound strong, playing style rough, good at showing the courage of the mighty and majestic, magnificent scenes and warm emotions, light and lively interest.

[Music Fundamentals]Classification of Musical InstrumentsTuesday, December 26, 2006 04:24 PM Classification of Musical Instruments

There are four major categories of musical instruments due to the materials, materials, and attributes of the instruments used to make them

Stringed instruments : friction stringed instruments, pizzicato stringed instruments, Percussion instruments

Woodwind instruments

Brass instruments

Percussion instruments: fixed pitch, unfixed pitch

String instruments

Rubbed-string instruments: sound is produced by rubbing the strings with the bow

Violins

Violas

Cellos

Basses

Plucked-string instruments: sound is produced by rubbing the strings with the bow

Plucked-string instruments: sound is produced by rubbing the strings with the bow

Guitar

Harp

Percussive stringed instruments: those that produce sound by striking the strings with a mallet -- pianos

Rubbed stringed instruments

Rubbed stringed instruments in the orchestral world include all those that are played by rubbing the strings with the bow to make the sound from the vibration. The pitch of the sound is produced by the fingers of the left hand following the strings on the fingerboard. Different woods are used to make the tone or **** sound good and to match the different properties of each part. The string section is the largest of the four categories of orchestral music, and often plays the most important part of the piece.

Q:The relationship between pitch and the length of the strings

The structure of the violin

The viola is an angular gourd-shaped wooden box with a pair of f-shaped holes in the surface, and the viola is the same except that it is slightly larger than the violin. They both have a cheek rest, in order to play with the cheeks to clamp the instrument. The cello is about two and a half times larger than a violin, but its

side is about four times taller than a violin, and it has no chin rest. It does not have a chin rest, but it does have a strut that can be removed or retracted into the belly of the violin when not in use.

The bow

The bow is the instrument that makes the sound of a stringed instrument. The shape of the bow evolved from the ancient hunting bow, which was slightly curved and usually had white horsetail as the hair. A hard rosin is applied to the hair, which is then rubbed against the strings to vibrate and produce sound.

The quality of the bow also determines the tone of the instrument. The bow is about 75 centimeters long, and is made of horsetail hairs tied to the ends of the wooden shaft. The number of hairs needed for a bow ranges from 130 to 250, and the player expresses the richness of the sound through the use of different playing techniques.

How is a fretted instrument played?

Fretted instruments are usually played with a bow. The bow is held in one hand, and the strings are rubbed back and forth with the bow's bristles to produce a sound. The bow and the strings are held at a nearly perpendicular angle to each other. The bow and the strings of the instrument are at a nearly perpendicular angle at this point. Except for the principle of playing, the method of holding the instrument is not quite the same. The violin and viola are smaller in size, so they can be held directly between the left jaw and the left shoulder when playing, whether standing or sitting. The cello can only be played sitting down, between the spread feet. The double bass is so large that it is played behind the instrument with the left hand on the strings and the right hand on the bow, whether seated (in a high chair) or standing.

Stringed instruments can also be plucked with the fingertips like a guitar or a plectrum, which produces a sound very different from that of a bow, but this is a less common method of playing. This technique is called pizzicato.

Rubbing Instrument: Violin

The violin is one of the most important orchestral instruments, with a length of about 60 centimeters. The violin is capable of producing a perfect sound, whether it is a delicate or a glorious sound. This soft and light instrument has been favored by many composers. The four strings of the violin are tuned in height intervals to the heights of G, D, A, and E. The G string produces the deepest sound, and the E string produces a high, brilliant sound. The bow is about 75 centimeters long.

In an orchestra, the violins are divided into two groups, the first and the second, and each group has its own part to play, no matter which part it is, it occupies an important position in the overall sound of the orchestra. The first violin is to the left of the conductor, and the rightmost violinist is the "principal player". He often acts as the conductor's assistant, plays the solo violin part of an orchestral piece, and is also the leader of the violin section.

Rubbing Instrument: Viola

The viola is the first of the violin family to appear. The viola is slightly larger than the violin, about 66 centimeters in length, with each of the four strings tuned exactly five degrees lower than the violin, and with a quiet, muffled, nasal tone. In the 17th century, the viola was only an occasional instrument, or used to accompany and emphasize the bass part or fill in the harmony, until the 18th century when it slowly began to be used as a solo instrument. The four strings are tuned CGDA, and the technique is the same as that of the violin, but the left hand has to move more on the fingerboard due to its lower range. The viola and violin bows are about the same length, but the viola bow is heavier.

Rubbing Instrument: Cello

The cello is about twice as long as the violin, with a total length of about 120 centimeters, and is held between the legs with the lower end supported by a foot stick. The cello has a wide range of sound, and can produce a more subdued sound than the viola, as well as a very bright and beautiful high note. The strings are thick and about twice as long as those of the violin. The bow is short and heavy, about 73 centimeters long, and is not as graceful as the violin's bow. The strings are tuned to the C, G, D and A notes, which are an octave lower than those of the viola. The cello is not as light and bright as the violin, but its sound is quite soft and beautiful, and this kind of sound is just enough to supply the low and deep range of orchestral music. Among stringed instruments, the cello, with the exception of the violin, has the most opportunities to play the solo part.

Scratch: Double bass

The double bass is the lowest and largest instrument in the violin family. It is about 200 centimeters long and must be played standing up, with the four strings tuned to EADG, and has a dignified, low tone, with a bow of 68 to 70 centimeters long. The bow is about 68 to 70 centimeters long. The playing technique is more inflexible than other bowed instruments due to the limitation of the instrument's structure. The bass cello is slightly monotonous when used as a soloist, but when added to an ensemble, it gives the entire ensemble a full sound and three-dimensional effect, thus becoming the basis for all types of ensembles in orchestral music, chamber music, and jazz.

Plucked String Instrument: Guitar

The guitar is commonly known as a six-stringed instrument, with six strings tuned to EADGBE, and the guitar has a fixed taste of 18-20 frames on the fretboard, with a semitone apart for each taste. The guitar is placed between the right knee and the left thigh, and the strings are plucked with the right hand fingers, or the picks can be used to play the strings (less often used in classical guitars). The guitar has a soft and lively sound, and is easy to carry, so it is very popular with young people in recent times, and has become an indispensable instrument in the popular music industry.

Plucked String Instrument: Harp

The harp is one of the oldest musical instruments in history, and its articulation is produced by plucking the strings with the fingers. Today, the double-plucked harp is the standard model, usually with 47 strings. All C strings are red and all F strings are blue. The harp is equipped with seven pedals, which can be used to play chromatic notes, and the player uses these seven pedals and the strings to create beautiful, smooth, dreamy tones. In solo performance, the instrument can be lyrical or ornate; in ensemble performance, however, it is mostly used as a decorative instrument.

Stringed instrument: Piano

The piano is a stringed instrument. The piano is a stringed instrument, and it is called the "King of Instruments" because it can play harmonic and polyphonic music, and it is a popular instrument for soloists, repertoire, and concertos. The piano has 88 keys tuned in the standard twelve equal temperament. The sound is produced by striking the strings with felt-covered mallets. When you press a finger down on a key, the other end of the key pushes up on the corresponding part of the hammer, causing the mallet to strike the strings and make a sound. When the finger is lifted, the sound stopper on the hammer stops the sound.

Piano Pedals

Right:

The sustain pedal allows the sound to continue after the keys have been raised.

Middle:

The sustain pedal, which extends a specific tone.

Left:

The soft pedal makes the sound weaker and less ****y.

Woodwinds

Woodwinds are wind instruments made of wood, called woodwinds, or woodwinds for short, and rely on the vibration of the air columns inside the tubes to pronounce the sound, modified metal or other materials can be not necessarily limited to wood, depending on the number of reeds on the construction of the different, can be divided into three categories ~

One: no reeds (flutes, piccolos)

Second: a single spring (clarinet, saxophone). Clarinet, saxophone)

Three: double reed (oboe, bassoon)

Q: the relationship between the pitch and the length of the tube

Woodwind instruments without reeds: flute & piccolo

The flute is a very elegant musical instrument, most of the flute nowadays are made of metal and are rarely used in the wood of the instrument, silver-white color, the whole tube is divided into mouthpiece, The whole pipe is divided into mouthpiece, body pipe and tail pipe. The flute is divided into three parts: the mouthpiece, the body and the tailpiece. The flute is held horizontally in the hand and the gas is blown into the mouthpiece, allowing the columns of gas in the bore to vibrate freely without the use of any reeds, so that the flute produces a soft, bright and clear sound. The range is about three octaves. The piccolo is similar to the flute in construction, half the length of the flute, and has a higher octave of articulation than the flute, and its playing technique is the same as that of the flute.

Woodwinds: Clarinet

The clarinet, also known as the harp, is commonly known as the black pipe, and has a reed clamped to the mouthpiece, so that when air is blown into the mouthpiece, the reed's fault causes the column of air in the cavity to vibrate and make a sound.

Single-reed woodwind instrument: saxophone

The saxophone, made of metal, is conical inside, with an enlarged trumpet-shaped end opening and curved upward, but its construction is a variation of the bass harp, and it is still classified as a woodwind instrument. The structure is divided into mouthpiece, mouthpiece and body. The saxophone has a lazy, full-bodied, rich sound, which is between woodwinds and brass instruments, and is now widely used in marching bands and jazz music.

Double Reed Woodwind Instruments: Oboe

The oboe is similar in appearance to the harp, conical in shape, with three parts; the upper tube, the lower tube, and the bell, with two reeds inserted directly into the tube at the upper end, and the player must learn how to control his breathing efficiently, which makes it the most difficult of woodwinds to vary in meter. Its tone is sweet and slightly sharp and detailed, although not as light as the flute, but the sound like a nasal sound but has a unique characteristic of the idyllic flavor.

Double-reed woodwinds: Bassoon

The bassoon, commonly known as the bassoon, is a conical cylindrical double-reed instrument, with a total length of 2.6 meters, but because the two sections are merged to form a bundle of tubes, the full length of the instrument is only 1.4 meters in appearance. Players need to hang the instrument around their necks to play, and its playing method is similar to that of the oboe, but the tone is even lower, so some people call the bassoon the cello of woodwinds; its colorful and slightly humorous tone has also earned it the title of "the clown of the symphony orchestra".

Brass instruments

As the name implies, brass instruments are made of copper metal and do not use reeds; instead, they use their lips to vibrate the air to produce sound. The instrument is composed of a mouthpiece, a tone pipe, and a flugelhorn, which have some of the **** same characteristics are the use of the length of the pipe and overtones of the different pitch changes. And the volume is particularly large.

In the symphony orchestra, there are trumpets, French horns, trombones and bass horns.

Brass Instruments: Trumpet

The trumpet, also commonly known as the trumpet, is a thin metal cylindrical tube, enlarged into a trumpet mouthpiece at the end of the quarter-length, with three pistons, and is played with the index, middle and ring fingers of the right hand by pressing the pistons, and with the left hand assisting in supporting the instrument. Its tone is majestic, loud and clear, and it can be regarded as the soprano among brass instruments. It is an important instrument for symphony orchestras and marching bands, and is good at playing the main melody in an ensemble. Because of its varied sound, the trumpet has been favored by popular music and jazz in recent times.

Brass Instruments: French Horn

The French horn is an alto brass instrument, with a long tube coiled into a circle shape, and the end enlarged into a funnel-shaped bell. Its range is lower than that of the trumpet, and it has the widest range among brass instruments. The French horn has a mild, simple and elegant tone. The French horn has three flaps. It is played with the index, middle and ring fingers of the left hand to press the flaps, and the right hand to assist in supporting the instrument.

Brass instruments: Trombone

It is the only brass instrument that does not rely on keys, but uses a telescopic tube to pull back and forth, so it is also known as the telescopic trombone or telescopic horn. The right hand is used to pull the tubes back and forth, and then the air is used to control the sound. The slide is one of the trombone's most important features, and it adds a lot of color to the ensemble. The trombone is about twice as long as the trumpet, and its tone is broader and more solemn, like that of a tenor in a male voice.

Brass Instruments: Bass Trumpet

The bass trumpet, also known as the tuba and commonly referred to as the tuba, is the lowest-pitched brass instrument and the largest. It has a conical shape with a large trumpet-shaped opening at the bottom, a long and rent articulating tube, and a slightly slow articulation, which consumes a lot of air when it is played. In the wind music as the lowest part, and the trombone combined to form a solid bass, is an indispensable role in the orchestra ensemble, and its tone is full and steady.

Percussion instruments

Percussion instruments are a general term for musical instruments that are played in a percussive manner to make a sound. Percussion instruments can be divided into two categories:

Fixed-pitch percussion instruments:

Timbales, xylophones, and pianos

Non-fixed-pitch percussion instruments:

Drums, snare drums, bell drums, and triangles

Fixed-pitch percussion instruments: timbales

Timbales are made of a semi-circular spherical body and a drum skin. The skin is held in place by a wooden ring and then a metal ring, and a few screws can be used to adjust the tightness of the skin, which is used by the player to adjust the pitch of the timpani. Modern timpani use pedals to control the pitch, and can even be used to create a slide effect. Timpani are usually played in groups of two or more, using two wooden drumsticks with felt wrapped around the front end, and the basic playing methods are single and rolling.

Fixed-pitch percussion instruments: xylophone, ferret

These two instruments are made of different lengths of wood and metal pieces **** with the composition of the multi-music instruments, rows of the same way as the piano keyboard. Below each key there are *** sound tube, the range from three to five octaves ranging from the wire wrapped rattan rod to play, the xylophone and has a pedal to extend or stop the sound. The xylophone has a milder tone, and is played with wire-wrapped mallets. The tone varies depending on the material of the mallet heads, which are made of wood, rubber, and felt, etc. The sound of the xylophone is beautiful and peculiar. The sound is beautiful and peculiar. The iron zither has a light and brittle sound.

No fixed pitch percussion instrument: drum

The drum, also known as the drum, is the largest bass drum in the orchestra, with a diameter of 55-80 centimeters, and two types of drums: wooden and metal (in the form of a hollow roller), with animal skins tightly stretched on top. The drums are played with a single mallet and rolled (when rolled, the drum should be placed diagonally), usually with a single mallet, and are characterized by a low, deep tone, which makes them the instrument of the orchestra's bass background rhythm, and they are often used to create musical effects, such as joyful, excited sounds or simulated thunder and gunfire, etc. The drum has a very long after-tone, and is often used to play a variety of music. The drums have a very long aftertaste, and the player needs to control the length of the sound effect according to the needs of the music.

No fixed pitch percussion instrument: snare drum

The snare drum, also known as the snare drum, is similar in structure to the big drum, with a drum body in the shape of a barrel, and the drum surface also made of animal skin, and a set of springs at the bottom of the drum that can be adjusted for tone. If the spring is tightened, the tone is crisp, if the spring is relaxed, the tone becomes dull and dull; there is another way to change the tone, that is, on the other drum surface is tied with a loud line, with a wooden stick to hit the other side, which can send out a special rustling sound. The sound is slightly rustling and becomes hazy. It is usually played with two hardwood mallets, but in dance rhythms the mallets are often replaced with steel wire mallets to enhance the rhythmic effect; snare drums, like big drums, are often used to create effects. The snare drum's loud and penetrating sound is its most distinctive feature, and it is a regular instrument in orchestras and marching bands.

Percussion Instruments without Fixed Pitch: Tambourine

Tambourines are single-sided leather drums with wooden frames and a number of small metal pieces attached to the frame, and are played directly by hand. The sound is clear and crisp, and there are many ways to play it, the most common being to hold the tambourine in the left hand and hit the drum with the right hand.

No fixed pitch percussion instrument: triangle

Triangle, mainly made of a steel bar folded into a triangle, there are two kinds of large and small: the tone of the large slightly dark, the small sound higher and crisp. The sound is produced by hitting the triangle with a metal mallet.
