LELOIR 6 ■ The VIOLIN was originally a lower-class instrument compared to the viols, but has now become the most important instrument in the symphony orchestra. It emerged in Italy in the 16th century and was perfected during the Baroque period by the famous violin makers of Cremona: Amati, Guarneri and Stradivari. It measures less than 60 centimetres and is held under the chin. The strings are tuned in fifths (G,D,A,E) and it has a range of nearly four octaves. The bridge has to withstand the particularly high string tension. The sound holes are f-shaped and the body almost flat. The violin's bright sound and extraordinary virtuosity allows it to play technical, intense and complex music. It is also widely played in the traditional music of Ireland, popular Hungarian, Jewish or Gypsy music, and also North American country music. ■The VIOLA is slightly bigger than the violin. It is tuned a fifth lower (C,G,D,A) and is played in the same way. Its lower register gave it an accompanying role up to the 19th century when its expressive qualitites and rich, deep tone were given predominant roles in many orchestral works by great composers such as Beethoven and Berlioz. fiddle, viol, violin, viola... T h e b owe d - s t r i n g f am i l y Tremolo (trembling), vibrato (vibrating), legato (smooth playing), staccato (detached notes), pizzicato (plucked), col legno (tapping with the wood of the bow), the use of the mute, double-stopping or glissando are just some of the many expressive techniques used by classical bowed-string players. The violin is a complex construction of around 80 different parts, made mainly of maple, pine and ebony. The trees to be used must be felled during the winter at high altitude, then dried out for 10 to 20 years. The strings are made of sheep-gut, wound with metal, or of steel (for the highest string). STRADIVARIUS (1644-1737), whose recipe for varnish remains a mystery, made around 1200 violins, of which only 600 are still in circulation today. They are bought and sold for astronomical prices in the world of artists and collectors... n°2 to13 © PHOTO SAICO © PHOTO SAICO Great virtuosos n°15 001_016_Monde_Instr_GB.indd 6 10/04/06 14:02:12 ON THE SCREEN ■ The SARANGI is the principal bowed instrument in the music of Northern India. It is held vertically on the knees. Its wide, short neck has three thick melody strings plus around thirty sympathetic strings (which vibrate by resonance). The body is a hollowed-out block covered with stretched parchment. Sarangis are also found in Pakistan and Nepal. ■ The ERHU is used to accompany singers in classical Chinese music. Its body is made of hard-wood or of coconut, can be either hexagonal or octagonal, and is covered by a lizard or snakeskin. The neck is made of a length of bamboo and the head sometimes sculpted as a dragon's head or a bat. Its two strings are made of silk. Many different versions of this instrument exist throughout South-Eastern Asia. ■The IMZAD is an African monochord played by Touareg women only. Its construction is very rudimentary: half a gourd is covered by a goat, lizard or iguana-skin. The bow is of a characteristic arc-shape and strung with horsehair. The imzad is used to accompany moralising songs and entertainments. ■ The I ranian long-necked f iddle, the KAMANTCHEH appeared in Paris during the 15th century. Its small body, covered with snake-skin, is made of mulberry and its tuning pegs of ivory. It is held vertically on a metal spike which allows the musician to pivot the instrument whilst playing. Tradtionally the kamantcheh has three strings made of silk and has a very soft tone. It is popular in many Arabic countries and is also played in Irakian djalghi orchestras.

Their interpretation is highly complex, subtle and ornamented, and requires many years of study and practice. The main instruments played are the tambura lute (playing drones), the sitar (melodic) and the tabla drums (rapid rhythms). “Wo r l d ” mu s i c On the screen INDIA “INDIAN NOCTURNE” Alain CORNEAU (1989) TIBET “SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET” Jean-Jacques ANNAUD (1997) CHINA “THE LAST EMPEROR” Bernardo BERTOLUCCI (1987) © SYRINX ACADEMY n°26 129_144_Monde_Instr_GB.indd 142 10/04/06 15:26:40 WORLDMUSIC Worldmusic 143 ■TIBET Tibetan ensembles play religious music from the monasteries.

Gabrielli in his Sinfoniae Sacrae, with a repertoire of sacred music to be played from the tribunes in churches. ■ Fanfares were also used in opera from the 17th century. They were appreciated for their dramatic power and for certain mythical associations.
