Musical instruments of the future…what are your predictions?
Over the centuries, musical instruments have undergone substantial structural and functional changes.
Ever-increasing size of orchestras and concert venues – development of key-mechanisms to facilitate increasing technical demands – rising pitch – these have driven the evolution of many simple ancient instruments into virtual hi-tech machines.
Some instruments – eg. the strings and percussion – have remained relatively unchanged – violins and harps bear more similarities to their Baroque counterparts than, say, oboe, horn or piano – though no instrument is immune to change.
And instruments continue to evolve – each decade sees substantial advances in development – today’s top-of-the-range flute, for example, with its “high-wave lip-plate” and “improved” key-work make 50 year old flutes seem almost primitive!
What are YOUR predictions for the musical instruments of the twenty-third century – and why?
Look into your crystal ball and share your thoughts…
Hafwen x
By the 23rd Century, the ascendancy of Western culture will only be a memory. Predictions of this nature are awfully hard to make, even without the uncertainty of the world’s political and commercial state to further complicate matters!.
Will nationalism have shrunk, and will there be a ‘world music’ by then?
Thirty years ago, I was one of a growing band of composers that were almost ready to articulate the prediction that the synthesiser, as developing in France, Germany, Britain, USA, and Japan (!) would be the vehicle of the new music.
How wrong we were!
Who could have predicted the massive wave of conservatism, of reactionary fear, almost, that swept over most of the world.
I refer not only to music, of course, but to all of the arts, to Spiritual aspirations, as well as to our political sentiments. The fundamentalist hysteria (e.g. Iran, as well as the USA), the rejection of much of socialism, the collapse of the Soviet Union, etc.
Now there is a formidable group of music lovers who really believe they need know nothing of music written less than 100 years ago. “I am a Baroque specialist!”, “I recommend the works of Chopin” etc., are not the utterings of some lunatic fringe! They represent the typical lover of Western Art Music in 2008.
Is this an indication of the actual death of this expressive, creative music? This music, unique in the history of the world, music that depends on continuous creative evolution.
It well could be.
(‘They’ tend to call it ‘Classical’ Music these days, maybe ignorant of what ‘Classical’ Music really is; or are they, perhaps, unconsciously prophesying the fall of European Art Music?)
Electronics, in the immediate future, will have to do for much of the grand civic investments in music. (The Organ, predominantly)
Will electronics infiltrate the orchestra? While this is possible,I doubt it.
The “Classical” Music Lovers are not a very ‘avant guarde’ group, and (I hope) that ‘they’ will save the acoustic instruments, if only because of their conservatism!
( I think the Orchestra, as a vehicle for the performance of music, is under threat of extinction. Composers have almost stopped writing music in any ‘new’ style for quite a while now! The widespread availability of fine recordings of orchestral works must also be a threat?)
In Commercial Music (USA, Britain, France, Japan) electronic music (it is – brashly – called ‘techno’, I believe) has ceased growing. (To my horror, I find myself joyful!)
This is a most long-winded method of saying : “I have no idea!”
It is a confronting question, one of the most interesting I have encountered in a long while!

”Road to Damascus” for piano and orchestra. $49.99 Road to Damascus for Piano and Orchestra is based on the story of the Apostle Paul’s repentance and conversion to Christianity. This dramatic event is one of the most inspirational in the New Testament. Also, through this momentous story, Paul is admired by many artists in various genres of art. Road to Damascus is a programmatic work, divided into three sections according to the story development. The three sections reflect specific scenes from the Bible: Acts 6:8-60, Acts 9:1-9, and Acts 9:10-31, respectively. The story starts from the scene of St. Stephen’s tragic yet divine martyrdom after his last sermon, in which Saul (later known as Paul) was present as a persecutor. The second section narrates Saul’s journey to Damascus to further oppress Christians, during which he meets God in the light and turns blind. The last section is about the three days of prayer of repentance after the blinding event, followed by Paul’s regained sight and subsequent discipleship.;The first section, Lamentoso, can be described as an elegy for St. Stephen. It begins in an intense pathos created by dotted rhythms and lamenting melody. This rhythmic motive is a dominant musical ingredient in all sections, but its character varies according to each section’s mood. The piano writing is narrative in style, as though it is implying a certain kind of message. The opening of the second section is dramatically articulated with brass and percussion instruments. In this section, the piano’s narrative style is displayed to back up the orchestra, and the tempo is altered to progress the story. The first climax is reached with an orchestral tutti in dotted rhythm, as if recollecting the first section. An introspective and meditative piano solo then enters to begin the last section. The new theme is accompanied by violin and bassoon. Its melodic fragments (D Eb G D C#) are reused and developed through manipulation between and among the instrumental groups. The finale is articulated by chimes |

AKG C 451 B Condenser Microphone $579 The C451B is an excellent tool for accurately capturing signals rich in transients such as drums, instruments with a percussive sound, acoustic guitar, or for overhead applications. Responding to growing demand, AKG decided to make the C451B with the same acoustic performance as the popular original C 451 EB + CK 1, with dramatically improved specifications. Using an extremely light diaphragm, the new C451B is almost totally insensitive to handling noise. Other features include an all-metal body for excellent protection from RF interference and high reliability for excellent results under almost all conditions. The C451B is a cardioid only design with a permanently fixed capsule (a departure from the previous modular system). The acoustics of the original cardioid-capsule, CK 1, are modeled and matched in the current version, producing the unique overall rising frequency characteristics. The rise is no more than 3 dB and is broadly centered around 12 kHz. Its transformerless preamp uses surface mount technology and, therefore is lighter, yet more rugged than its predecessor. Switchable 10 and 20 dB pads are now integrated. Maximum sound pressure levels in the range of 155 dB (in the 20 dB sensitivity position) can be attained with no greater than 0.5% distortion. A selectable low frequency, or bass roll-off option, provides 12 dB per octave attenuation below 75 or 150 Hz. The C451B, like its predecessor, is most commonly used in studio and tour sound applications such as miking choirs, drums, percussion and acoustic guitars. It operates on all phantom voltages between 9 and 52 volts. The SA 40 stand adapter and W 90 windscreen are included as standard accessories. |

They contain a lot of information for less than the price of a fast food meal, in a perfect size to slip into a gig bag or drum case and take along with you. Volume 2 includes Bemb , Makuta, Yuka, Palo, Arar , Abaku (Havana), Abaku (Matanzas), Gaga, Vuda, and Iyes The booklets were originally compiled in response to his students’ requests. They are notated in standard musical notation, and not designed to replace a teacher. To quote from the introduction, No book can replicate the value of studying with a teacher, hearing live concerts or recordings of these rhythms. He goes on to say, This guide is intended for the intermediate to advanced level with some reading experience. If one is not familiar with drum notation, then a teacher is even more imperative. This is sound advice. Having said that, however, the rhythms are notated well, and are easy to understand for those who can read a bit. Advanced reading is not required..if you can read quarter and eighth notes and associated rests, you will be able to read through these rhythms. We have included a page from volume two, to give you an idea: the rhythm Makuta . The author refers to these short guides as by no means complete but simply a starting point to tantalize the taste buds of those eager for adventure in the rich world of Afro-Cuban percussion. This is a perfect description. They make handy tools when sitting down with a batch of friends to play, just to have the parts in front of you, as a starting point. |
