Add me to the mailing list. Message-ID: <23A71159-C220-4E23-BE96-FD5ECCFFF763@sbcglobal.net> I'm specifically interested in discussion about various woods, their effect on tone production (brightness, response, etc.), and whatever current perspectives exist regarding the maintenance issues around various woods. It's important to remember that many people were excited about metal because wood cracked on them, and repair of a wood flute was not quite the same as repair of a wood violin family instrument. From dnshorey at antiqueflutes.com Fri Aug 11 14:40:33 2006 From: dnshorey at antiqueflutes.com (David and Nina Shorey) Date: Fri Aug 11 14:42:38 2006 Subject: [Woodboehmflute] Greetings, thoughts, and an announcement Message-ID: Greetings to all from sunny Los Angeles! Nina and I have just returned from enough travel to make even us stay home for a few months. After the fantastic weekend in Seattle, we went to Chicago for my mother's 80th birthday party, then on to Amsterdam to sell our houseboat in the Jordaan, back to L.A. to kiss the kids goodby as we headed to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for Chris Norman's Boxwood Flute Festival. We just returned home from Nova Scotia a few days ago. We are not sure if we are suffering from jet-lag, culture shock, or the lingering effects of feeding a new generation of mosquitos in northern Nova Scotia, where we relaxed for a few days after Boxwood. I have enjoyed reading the discussion about how to continue the momentum from the Seattle meeting, and I hope that this is an appropriate forum in which to respond. We have perhaps a slightly different perspective on this discussion. Over the years, our mission has been to help bring back variety to the Flute Tone as it is expressed in our society. To this end we have traveled many miles, and given many talks and demonstrations. While this has been a bad business model, it has nonetheless been very heartwarming over the years. We have actually been a bit discouraged since returning to this passion, after traveling with our son's Bulgarian rock band through Europe for five years without thinking about flutes. When we returned, we actually found less general interest in variety, or even history, than ever before. Nina and I were absolutely delighted with the weekend in Seattle, and it reaffirmed our beliefs. Nonetheless, there was something a tad peculiar, when viewed from our perspective. This was the presumed assumption that the Great Debate, which ensued when the English and French realized that their cherished mode of expression was endangered by the Boehm flute, is over. We were reassured of this while hearing some of the Boxwood players teach and perform this summer. The current players of 8 keyed flutes have revived a tremendous part of the playing techniques inherent in the instrument, and the music is highly expressive. It seems to us questionable to continue to separate the music of the Romantic 8 keyed flute from the possibilities of the cylindrical Boehm instrument. That the principle group continuing to use the English Romantic flute plays in the Irish tradition is a boon, not a bane. This is an unbroken connection to the Baroque, and seems usefully studied by all musicians. Possibilities of vibrato and ornamentation, not to mention rhythm, are expansive in this tradition, for example. For that matter, it so happens that the only unbroken Flute tradition from Romantic France occurs in Cuba, where a student of Tulou orchestrated dance music with a 4th octave flute solo, playable mainly on the Tulou flute. Students of French flute music would learn much from an evening of Charanga at the local Cuban dance hall. Seriously, it seems fine to produce an event emanating from a love for the wooden cylindrical flute, but having escaped from the cage of silver and gold it seems unnecessary to make a wooden cylindrical one. Just as Chris Norman's Boxwood festival emerged from the love of the 8 keyed flute, yet encompasses players of Traversos and silver flutes, so can a festival of the wooden cylinder flute enjoy the company, and the music, of players with earlier instruments. We would suggest that the organization of further festivals emanate from the premise of the wooden cylinder flute, and the schedule reflect this, yet the variety and close relation of the other concurrent flute traditions be recognized as valuable adjuncts to our education and performances. Sooner or later, someone will play Reicha on a Rudall & Rose, and it will sound terrific. At the expense of carrying on far longer than anyone has probably read, I would also like to announce that we have been given the go-ahead to mount a major exhibit, and encourage the celebration of, Louis Lot next year at the NFA Convention in Albuquerque. Lot was born May 17, 1807 and next year is his 200th birthday. The program chair has asked me to encourage proposals for concerts and talks around this theme, and there is much room here for wooden cylinder players. Do not forget that Lot and Godfroy perfected the cylindrical wooden flute, as well as the silver one. Please drop us a line for more information if you are interested in participating in this celebration. On that happy note we will leave you, With the very best wishes, David and Nina Shorey David and Nina Shorey, Antique Flutes 4835 Berryman Ave. Culver City, CA 90230 (310) 745-4441 http://www.antiqueflutes.com From klezme2 at klezmerflute.com Sat Aug 12 13:50:02 2006 From: klezme2 at klezmerflute.com (klezme2@klezmerflute.com) Date: Sat Aug 12 14:38:08 2006 Subject: [Woodboehmflute] Greetings, thoughts, and an announcement In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <43841.66.230.74.196.1155405002.squirrel@klezmerflute.com> I just read your post with great interest while here at the NFA. I too approached Nancy Andrew as did Paul Pearson. There, I'm sure, will be a forum for the wood Boehm but also as an honor for Felix. Truly however it's at the initial stages as to the form it takes and what exactly the focus will be. I'm in TOTAL agreement with what I'm seeing as the "message" below. It's the all-inclusive nature of the wood flute, adding colors and attitudes, be they the Boehm, cylindrical, 8 key. Let's discuss this further? I do have run off to another performance here at the convention but will want to hear more from others as to who we including and who we are not. My vote is to be more inclusive. adrianne Greetings to all from sunny Los Angeles! > > Nina and I have just returned from enough travel to make even us stay > home for a few months. > > After the fantastic weekend in Seattle, we went to Chicago for my > mother's 80th birthday party, then on to Amsterdam to sell our > houseboat in the Jordaan, back to L.A. to kiss the kids goodby as we > headed to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for Chris Norman's Boxwood Flute > Festival. > > We just returned home from Nova Scotia a few days ago.

Everybody ! I am still in Seattle, busy conducting UW Summer Band. I am still working on the DVD tapes and audio materials from the Woodflute conference. Sorry for the delay. The thing is I am not good at editing and it took so much time. I will be happy to be a part of the woodflute clan. I will be out of town between Aug.19 to Sep. 19, so please keep sending me the information. Thanks.

Message-ID: <003501c6c10c$ab30aca0$6d1979a5@dora> I look forward to hearing people's thoughts and contributing. I myself enjoy both old and new flutes, because they sound different--the old wooden Boehm system flutes sound a bit different than the new ones, and the conical bore flutes that preceded them have a different sound with a lot of variety within that sound. I enjoy playing my antique 10-key flute precisely because I love the complex sound it has and I enjoy playing folk, Irish and 18th and 19th century music on it--but I wouldn't play jazz on it--or ever attempt the Karg-Elert Caprices. There's a whole other diatonic sensibility to its fingering that doesn't lend itself to playing music that moves through more than one or two key areas. If I were to win the lottery, though, I think I would opt for a wooden Kingma-System flute rather than the (absolutely beautiful) conical Boehm-system Louis Lot. Or I can hope to win big and get both! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As the others have said, it will be interesting to be able to participate in discussions on topics of interest to us all. Thanks for including me! My flute is being re-built by Alexander Eppler, so am currently flute-less. I am anxious to be back to playing soon! If you have not, you should go to his website and see his 'before and after' on a rebuild similar to what he is doing with my flute. It is pretty amazing!

Not exactly what I'd call "professional" quality - but it is wood and it does play - kind of :) I'd say it would be a great "project" for someone who can take the time to work on it - the headjoint could use some changes - the mechanism is the flimsy kind of construction you might expect from a chinese made instrument. Since Alex finished my wooden alto headjoint, I really don't want to invest the time & money on this instrument - it's for sale - $2000 US - I figure I'd give the list first dibs before I put it up on Ebay.

I heard the wood flute listserv Martin set up, is up, but I'm not on it yet, Martin can you add me? I have some wood proposal ideas, and will help draft & submit the proposals, but I'm working on another panel presentation, so need to be open for it's scheduling; so can't take responsibility to actually set up these wood flute presentations, so you are being called upon! I had a great time playing quartets and other pieces w/you (some of you) at the wood conference. I recently heard Hal Ott comment that reading sessions are well attended at the convention, which makes me think this would have good chance of getting on the program, and could encourage lots of interested parties in coming to play/listen. Would be fun for anyone who came to play....and would put wood on the radar screen. Could maybe be called something to remind us of Felix... Anyone else interested? Here is my message below, sent to Suzanne Carr (who was also at the wood conference, from WA state; and who has played wood for years.....she lead us in our reading session during wood conference, and hopefully is planning to be at convention in Albequerque (sp?) in August 2007 and might be willing to be an organizer of a reading session. More conference info is at http://nfaonline.org/ The proposals are due in 3 weeks! The description needs only be 200 words; but also needs 1)bio statements and resumes on presenters. (for panel presenters for sure; for a choir reading session, probably just the conductor/convener's would be enough). Hal Ott will likely give our proposals support, as he's working as a program chair "mentor" to the 07 conference chair Nancy Andrews. As David, who has been in Europe and on the way home, said. "lets keep in touch in these critical next days." ----- Original Message ----- From: Marilyn R.

Are you thinking/planning to go yourself? Have been in touch w/Hal just about the perf. health, but in conversations, he's said that "choir reading sessions" get a LOT of people who come to play. I thought, "hmmmm.....how about then, a WOOD Flute choir reading session? You are the next thought that came to mind...... let me know if you'd be going anyway, and if you'd be the conductress. I can submit the proposal or at least draft it; however, I can't for certain be at the session, because I need to be open/flexible for this other panel I'm coordinating (two med. drs. one from Univ. of Rochester, and Dr. Weinstein, from Seattle). Altos/basses that weren't wood would be okay, and I'd even suggest being open to some allowed to play w/o wood.....as long as there was a predominance of wood....the sound would be enough to show the possibilities; also would allow those who do NOT have wood to have a chance at hearing wood flutes up close and personal. (maybe even some makers would let people check out heads/flutes for the event). David Shorey is going to be in a proposal for a WOOD FLUTE PANEL, Adrianne Greenbaum, tentatively so. Not sure whom else, but could be YOU if interested, and you have ideas etc. Due date for proposals is November 1, so I'm working on getting at least a couple proposals in...the choir idea (also thinking if Hal would allow us to use the name "NW Wood Flute Consort" (our concert in rotunda was by the "NW Flute Consort" but Hal is seriously considering having WOOD flutes be highlighted next year at that event. He wouldn't be able to participate in the choir session at convention, as he's booked w/board meetings. He MIGHT, however, be willing, to let us use the NW Flute Consort name (and cop some p.r. at the same time for the consort) since he knows your work/mine, the wood flute mission, etc. I HOPE you're already thinking about going. I tried the number in the nfa membership directory and it's disconnected. I'd rather talk, as I'm doing way too much computing, and need to preserve hands for prposal writing if possible.
