商品描述
A lone bugler sounds the Last Post at a Festival of Remembrance. Overlapping horn arpeggios conjure up the flowing waters of the Rhine in Wagner's opera "Das Rheingold". Seventy-six trombones lead the big parade; trumpets sound ceremonial fanfares, and power the horn sections in jazz and funk bands. The sounds of brass instruments enrich many of our most inspiring musical experiences. But what defines a "brass instrument?" How is a stream of air blown through a small gap in the player's lips transformed into a sound which fills a concert hall? When did brass instruments originate, and how did they evolve into the instruments of the modern orchestra? These are some of the questions addressed in this book. The authors, professional scientists but also experienced brass players, explain how recent research has illuminated our understanding of brass instruments. The presentation is aimed at a general readership, including players, teachers, and lovers of all types of music. No mathematical background is assumed. Descriptions of many experiments on brass instruments carried out by the authors and others bring out the musical significance of the results. A novel approach to the systematic classification of brass instruments is outlined and graphically illustrated. Separate chapters are devoted to trumpets and related instruments, horns, trombones, tubas, brass instruments with toneholes, and instruments from antiquity including the Celtic carnyx. The final chapter reviews the application of electronic enhancement techniques to brass instruments. The book is generously illustrated with colour photographs, musical examples, and explanatory figures.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一位孤獨的號手在紀念節上吹奏最後的號角。重疊的號角琶音喚起了瓦格納歌劇《萊茵金》的流動河水。七十六支長號引領著盛大的遊行；小號奏出儀式性的號角聲，並為爵士樂和放克樂隊的號角部分提供動力。銅管樂器的聲音豐富了我們許多最鼓舞人心的音樂體驗。但什麼才定義為「銅管樂器」？如何將一股氣流通過演奏者嘴唇間的小縫隙轉化為充滿音樂廳的聲音？銅管樂器是何時起源的，又是如何演變成現代管弦樂團的樂器？這些都是本書所探討的一些問題。作者們是專業科學家，同時也是經驗豐富的銅管樂器演奏者，解釋了最近的研究如何照亮我們對銅管樂器的理解。這本書的內容旨在面向一般讀者，包括演奏者、教師和各類音樂愛好者。不假設讀者具備數學背景。作者及其他人對銅管樂器進行的多項實驗的描述突顯了結果的音樂意義。書中概述並圖示了一種系統性分類銅管樂器的新方法。專門的章節分別介紹小號及相關樂器、號角、長號、大號、帶音孔的銅管樂器，以及包括凱爾特的卡尼克斯在內的古代樂器。最後一章回顧了電子增強技術在銅管樂器上的應用。本書配有豐富的彩色照片、音樂範例和解釋性圖示。
作者簡介
Murray Campbell studied Physics at the University of Edinburgh. He was appointed to the teaching staff there in 1971, and in 1985 he founded the University's Musical Acoustics Research Group. He is now Professor Emeritus and Senior Professorial Fellow at Edinburgh, where he continues to carry out research on the acoustics of wind instruments. He has co-authored three textbooks on musical acoustics, including The Science of Brass Instruments (Springer, 2021). He is an enthusiastic amateur musician, performing regularly on cornett with the Edinburgh Renaissance Band and on trombone with the Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra. Arnold Myers is Senior Research Fellow at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Professor Emeritus of the University of Edinburgh. He read Physics at St Andrews University and received a doctorate from Edinburgh University for investigating acoustically-based techniques in the taxonomy of brass instruments. He was an editor of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Brass Instruments (2018) contributing 86 of its articles, and one of three authors of The Science of Brass Instruments (Springer, 2021). He was formerly Director of Edinburgh University Collection of Historic Musical Instruments; he currently researches at the interface of acoustics and the history of brass instruments. Joël Gilbert read Physics and Acoustics at the ENS of Fontenay aux Roses and at Le Mans University. He received a doctorate from Le Mans University for investigating acoustics of reed musical instruments. He was Directeur de Recherche CNRS in the Acoustic Laboratory of Le Mans University until his untimely death in May 2022. Joël was not only an inspired researcher in acoustics but also an excellent and dedicated trombonist. He combined these twin passions in his work on the physics of brass instruments and was responsible for several important advances in this field. He was a co-author of The Science of Brass Instruments (Springer, 2021).
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
Murray Campbell 在愛丁堡大學學習物理學。他於1971年被任命為該校的教學人員，並在1985年創立了大學的音樂聲學研究小組。他現在是愛丁堡大學的名譽教授及高級教授研究員，並持續進行風樂器聲學的研究。他共同撰寫了三本有關音樂聲學的教科書，包括《銅管樂器的科學》（Springer, 2021）。他是一位熱情的業餘音樂家，經常與愛丁堡文藝復興樂團演奏小號，並與愛丁堡交響樂團演奏長號。
Arnold Myers 是蘇格蘭皇家音樂學院的高級研究員及愛丁堡大學的名譽教授。他在聖安德魯斯大學學習物理學，並在愛丁堡大學獲得博士學位，研究基於聲學的銅管樂器分類技術。他曾是《劍橋銅管樂器百科全書》（2018）的編輯，貢獻了86篇文章，也是《銅管樂器的科學》（Springer, 2021）的三位作者之一。他曾擔任愛丁堡大學歷史音樂樂器收藏的主任，目前研究聲學與銅管樂器歷史的交界處。
Joël Gilbert 在Fontenay aux Roses的ENS和勒芒大學學習物理學和聲學。他在勒芒大學獲得博士學位，研究簧樂器的聲學。他曾是勒芒大學聲學實驗室的CNRS研究主任，直到2022年5月不幸去世。Joël不僅是一位靈感十足的聲學研究者，還是一位出色且專注的長號演奏者。他在銅管樂器物理學的工作中結合了這兩種熱情，並在該領域做出了幾項重要的進展。他是《銅管樂器的科學》（Springer, 2021）的共同作者。
