Topic: Krummhorn


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Crumhorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 20th century, there was a revival of interest in Early Music and people started to play crumhorns again.
The name derives from the German Krumhorn (or Krummhorn or Krumphorn) meaning bent horn.
This relates to the old English crump meaning curve, surviving in modern English in 'crumpled' and 'crumpet' (a curved cake).

is known in England as the Corno di Bassetto, and in Germany as the Krumm-horn (crooked-horn).” The krummhorn, cornet, shawm, and corno di bassetto (basset horn) are all, of course, distictively different instruments, as are the stops that bear their names.

Their specialty is early music that employs the krummhorn, the rebec, the lute, the bandora, fifes, early flutes that are little more than sticks with holes in them and more.

The krummhorn should ideally sound "funky" -- the only organ pipe type to earn that appellation.
I use every trick available to get a good buzzy sound out of the reed, and then filter it with a remarkably small diameter cylindrical resonator to give it an 'extreme clarinet' sound.
This is a true krummhorn pipe, not a krummhorn regaal.

 Stolen Medieval Musical Instrument: anyone seen a Krummhorn? :: Legio Draconis :: Art of Combat!
Sincere apologies to bother you all, but a friend of mine, the leader of the medieval music company Playford Spice in Atlanta/Markland, was robbed at Darkover Con, losing in the theft, among other things, a bass Krummhorn willed to to him by a friend who passed away from cancer earlier this year.
It is an extremely rare and heavily sought-after medieval instrument, and suspicion is that the thieves might try to sell the item off in the medieval community.
Also sometimes spelled crummhorn or crumhorn or krummhorn, and they look like this:

Notice the inverted ā€œLā€ shaped tuning wires coming out of the reed boots of the Krummhorn pipes.
Every reed pipe in the organ (Hautbois, Contra Hautbois, and Krummhorn) is brought into tune by adjusting this wire up or down in micro increments.

 PlaybillArts: Features: P.D.Q. Bach's Musical Menagerie
It's true that P.D.Q. Bach, the last, least, and oddest of Johann Sebastian Bach's 20-odd children, wrote a work employing the tuba several decades before the instrument was invented, but that was an anomaly.
An even more striking anomaly is his recently discovered work Two and a Half Variations on "In Dulci Jubilo," scored for koto, musical saw, krummhorn, and serpent.
The serpent is also a pre-Classical instrument, which was, however, still in use during P.D.Q. Bach's day (and sometimes even after the bars had closed, during his night), but it was eschewed by better composers in favor of the less serpiginous but slightly more reliable (and less venomous) bassoon.
