Musical instruments
A musical instrument is an instrument created or adapted to make musical sounds. In principle, any object that produces sound can be considered a musical instrument—it is through purpose that the object becomes a musical instrument. The history of musical instruments dates to the beginnings of human culture. Early musical instruments may have been used for ritual, such as a trumpet to signal success on the hunt, or a drum in a religious ceremony. Cultures eventually developed composition and performance of melodies for entertainment. Musical instruments evolved in step with changing applications.
The date and origin of the first device considered a musical instrument is disputed. The oldest object that some scholars refer to as a musical instrument, a simple flute, dates back as far as 67,000 years. Some consensus dates early flutes to about 37,000 years ago. However, most historians believe that determining a specific time of musical instrument invention is impossible due to the subjectivity of the definition and the relative instability of materials used to make them. Many early musical instruments were made from animal skins, bone, wood, and other non-durable materials.
Musical instruments developed independently in many populated regions of the world. However, contact among civilizations caused rapid spread and adaptation of most instruments in places far from their origin. By the Middle Ages, instruments from Mesopotamia were in maritime Southeast Asia, and Europeans played instruments from North Africa. Development in the Americas occurred at a slower pace, but cultures of North, Central, and South America shared musical instruments. By 1400, musical instrument development slowed in many areas and was dominated by the Occident.
Musical instrument classification is a discipline in its own right, and many systems of classification have been used over the years. Instruments can be classified by their effective range, their material composition, their size, etc. However, the most common academic method, Hornbostel-Sachs, uses the means by which they produce sound. The academic study of musical instruments is called organology.
Musical instruments are instruments for the production of a musical sound, either for general artistic purposes or for private entertainment or pleasure.
The understanding of the principle of voting in musical instruments is due to the properties of the physical sound, resulting in different sounds between them according to the source and characteristics of the sound. These sources are multiple, as they can be a vein, an air tube, a skin, a solid object, vocal cords (as in humans), or so on. The varying shape of the source in volume causes a difference in pitch or pitch. The source must be based on an amplifier audio to be aware of the ear clearly distinguish the degree, timbre, and intensity of loudness.
When the wood, metal, or sling knocks, for example, each produces a different sound. The wood rae does not produce a sound that is actually different from that of metal, as the sound vibrations emanating from each of them vary depending on the air emitted by the machine. This is true in the stringed instruments in which the string is the primary source of the vote, but they differ in their character and the manner in which they vibrate.
String instruments and blowing machines (which use the air tube) are somewhat similar to the principle of voting in that the frequency or frequency (ie the number of vibrations per second) in the sounds they produce is proportional to the length of the string or tube. Longer strings or tubes produce, if the rest of the conditions are equal, less frequent sounds. The frequency of sounds from the strings also depends on the diagonals of these tendons, which explains the position and arrangement of strings in length and diameter in stringed musical instruments.
In woodwind machines, for example, filling holes or leaving them open in the tube is the process necessary to make the tube more or less long. In brass machines, the use of pistons, valves, or tubing is used to place holes in woodwinders as well as blowing techniques in the machine mouthpiece.
The distinctive sound of the blowing machines depends on the length of the tube and how it flows, and on the way the air moves. The piccolo, for example, is half the length of regular flute and is characterized by sharper sounds. The trombone trombone is longer than the trompet trompet. Trumpet], so they produce lower sounds. The tube in the windmills generally ends with a conical opening in the shape of a bell that serves as a box in string instruments. It also helps, in addition to the machine's character and the flow of the tube, to give it a musical color.
History
Since the dawn of history, ancestors have used some musical instruments, but the development of human civilization has led to alteration and change in a few of them and to the neglect and abandonment of most of them. And only the remains of the artistic monuments of carvings or drawings preserved in some museums of the world.
If the ancient man had tried to imitate nature so that he could adapt to it, he undoubtedly used many of its elements. Hence the beginnings of human artistic expression and music was among the means of this expression. On this basis, man used his throat to simulate the sounds of nature and the sounds of animals, and then to communicate with his sex and singing. Thus the larynx can be the first instrument known to primitive man. Then he started beating him with his hands and feet to satisfy his rhythmic sensation. As his life progressed, man made rhythmic instruments of solid wood or metal objects and taut leather. Thus, this man took the raw materials created by nature, and turned them into instruments that voted in various forms and images. He made flutes and flutes from the cane, and took snails and sea shells to call and vote, and made of logs and animal skins drums and made of different stones shapes and lengths. Xylophone primer and other road-clicking machines.
However, this view of the idea of the simulation of nature and the use of its materials is not unique; there are other points of view that have adopted different points of view. Some researchers went on to examine what appeared to the indigenous peoples from the Greek mythology, and others began to write from the Old Testament, and many scholars took the same as the archaeological excavations and the chronic evidence. Take into account that many aspects of the history of the appearance of musical instruments are still obscure or influenced by the various legends.
It is told in popular mythology that Apollo, the sun god, medicine and fine arts of the Greeks, invented the harp. He made it out of a silver hunter's bow with strings, which gave angry tongues whenever you clicked the finger, The fisherman launches his arrow on the prey. Another legend tells that a turtle's skeletal lobe has some veins suspended after it dried out after a long time. It was vibrated by the wind or when a human finger played it and it became like strings. Thus was the lyre machine which today is a symbol and a symbol of music. A third legend attributes the invention of the oud to the seventh grandson of Adam, inspired by the body of his son hanging on a branch of a tree. This is said in the kinnor machine used in Syria since the days of Abraham and attributed to another grandson of Adam.
If we leave myths and primitive people, and enter the field of ancient civilizations, we encounter the progress of musical instruments in Asia in general, and in the Assyrians in particular, and in Egypt, which was taken by the Greeks who have inherited it to multiple parts of the world. But it's hard to say
