Wayne Hankin - The World of Early Wind Instruments
This new entry in Early Music New York’s video series leaves strings, keyboards and J.S. Bach behind for the piquant sound world of early winds.
Our guide to some of the most historic instruments on the planet is Wayne Hankin, a multi-talented performer equally at home with the oldest music and the newest, some of which he composes himself. Early Music New York’s audiences know him from the many holiday concerts in which he has performed at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. His other ventures include film and television soundtracks, and numerous productions with Cirque du Soleil.
With his flair for the theatrical, Mr. Hankin can be counted upon for a presentation that informs and entertains in equal measure. History and iconography are interwoven with personal anecdotes. The four musical examples here - excerpted from his longer video “7 Solos” - present music from the 13th and 14th centuries in evocative locales, feature colorful costumes, and include improvisation and even a bit of choreography.
Musical Selections:
3:07 - "C'est la Fin" by Guillaume d'Amiens, 13th Century (hornpipe)
7:18 - "Ce fut en mai" by Moniot d'Arras, 1235 (vessel flute)
12:00 - "Saltarello" by Anon. ca. 1400 (bagpipes)
16:59 - "Comment qu'a moy" by Guillaume de Machaut, ca. 1300-1377 (double pipes)

Dongsok Shin discusses the Lautenwerck & plays J.S. Bach: Prelude, Fugue & Allegro in E-Flat BWV 998
zhlédnutí 32KPřed 3 lety
Historically-informed performance keyboardist Dongsok Shin talks about the lautenwerck, a keyboard instrument with gut strings that produced sounds similar to a lute. Two were among J.S. Bach's possessions at the time of his death, and it is now thought that Bach wrote for this instrument the works that for many years have been identified as Lute Suites. Mr. Shin follows the discussion with a p...

I also have Rachel Joyce's Music shop book to thank for discovering this music. I would also recommend Hildergard von Bingen if you enjoyed this. So uplifting.
medieval! Perotin.. 70 years man.. 1160 to 1230 ? a bad ass !
Dear DS More lecture demos please Really enjoyed hearing/seeing you. Thank you Fred R for presenting. Wkr Murphy
There were more types of lutes than hot diners around at that time. Peter Croton has performed the "lute" works on Italian lute (as used in Germany during this time) without any modifications and in the original keys.
I heard this song first in the series " Ripley" from netflix ...ethereal ..
Very nice... It's exalt and calms me down somehow.
😅 Very Good And Nice Song
I wish you'd posted the score as it was performed so I could do my best to read along.
Thank you for the history and performance of this wonderful instrument! And your playing was excellent to boot!
This is wonderful, and I'm so glad to find it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Beata Viscera Marie Virginis Beata viscera Marie virginis cuius ad ubera rex magni nominis; veste sub altera vim celans numinis dictavit federa Dei et hominis O mira novitas et novum gaudium, matris integrita post puerperium. Populus gentium sedens in tenebris surgit ad gaudium partus tam celebris: Iudea tedium fovet in latebris, cor gerens conscium delicet funebris, O mira novitas et novum gaudium, matris integrita post puerperium. Legis mosayce clausa misteria; nux virge mystice nature nescia; aqua de silice, columpna previa, prolis dominice signa sunt propera. O mira novitas et novum gaudium, matris integrita post puerperium. Solem, quem librere, Dum purus otitur In aura cernere visus non patitur, cernat a latere dum repercutitur, alvus puerpere, qua totus clauditur. O mira novitas et novum gaudium, matris integrita post puerperium Blesses Womb of the Virgin Mary Blessed womb of the virgin Mary on whose breasts the king of great name; under others garments concealing his divine power formed a treaty for men and God. O new marvel and new joy, a mother still virgin after giving birth. The people having been born of nations sitting in darkness so prevalent rose to joy; Judea supported weariness in retreat, the heart bearing honesty may it acknowledge the death. O new marvel and new joy, a mother still virgin after giving birth. The mysteries of the Mosaic law have been closed; mystical fruit of the rod not know by nature; water from the rock, a column leading the way, they are speeding signs for the people of the Lord. O new marvel and new joy, a mother still virgin after giving birth. May I reveal, may it be pondered, while the pure one rises in heaven you are seen a vision not suffered may he see from the side while it is reflected the womb birthed a child which is wholly closed. O new marvel and new joy, a mother still virgin after giving birth. Music by Pérotin (1160-1230) Text by Philip the Chancellor (c. 1160-1236) English Translation by Isaac Siefker
Great instrument and playing, shame about the composition.
A stunningly vibrant, well-paced performance. But also a stunning instrument and recording. It's almost like reverb was added. As if this was enhanced in the studio? Or maybe it was? // I personally ALWAYS add reverb and delay to my piano recordings. Mr. Dongshok, this sounds lower than A432 (my home tuning). I'm guessing this is in A415Hz?
👏
Fantasitc! It would be fun to hear some of Scarlatti's peices in this "timbre".
Dear Sir Shin, your playing is exquite from the introduction to the presentation, in short, examplary, thank you very much, indeed.
Lovely sound. But are the strings on modern Lautenwercks actually gut, or are they nylon? It seems to me that gut strings wouldn't hold their turning for more than one performance. Tuning that thing repeatedly and often with so many strings would be horribly inconvenient compared to, say, a lute with just six strings. That may explain why the Lautenwerck declined while the harpsichord survived to this day.
If you take a tuning wich is not too high and too much tension for the strings, it will keep in tune quite a while.... my luth has 24 strings/ 13 course. With actual gut nowadays, cause i couldnt stand that plastic no more, and wanted to be historical. Ordered strings 415 Hz, but i am seddled at around 403 Hz momentarily, not to hurt or destroy my luth cause of tension!!! And save the thin strings from getting 'done' too early ... In concerts i See the clavichord beeing retuned a lot between Sets... its too very sensitiv to moisture and Temperatur. My guess it would stay much longer in tune and being not so metallic by tuning Down some Hz.... Cheers
Wonderful. Thanks!
That instrument sounds amazing. I wonder why musicians stopped playing them?
i stumbled upon this majestic piece that it invoke feelings of the past, harboring tragedy that weighs heavily in my heart, i can only say don't be afraid to cry, it'll free your mind of sorrowful thoughts. thank you for this piece Perotin, your music echoed through eternity
What a poetic comment! Music and the other arts can send messages to us over the centuries. From the standpoint of music, one could say those messages are "encoded" in the notation, waiting to be discovered.
Why am i crying right now ? I dont now why ..
Perotin among the first composers” The best !
That's amazing sound and playing! I'd never heard of this instrument until today.
Thank you so much for bringing us such a Valuable & historic world music 🙏
one of my favorite pieces
I have the original recording of this, it was etched into a huge stone, a bit like a millstone, to play it you had to scrape a flint over it attached to a wooden stick. It still sounds great today.
5:20 on lute sonatas
me recuerda a unravel
0:39 Anybody know if this kind of sound/motif has a name? The constant note under a melody on a violin-ish instrument. I just love the sound.
Organum
More generally I believe a sustained note like that (e.g. Indian music, sitar) is called a drone.
this is SO lovely - thank you.
words = worlds
At last! Proof of the multiple words theory!
nice msuic 🔥
Thank you, Maestro, for a very informative video
Very nice sound and playing. What do you think of the following phrasing: take the two as upbeat to the three (which was quite usual in that time) so that the notes are not so even. If you do this in the counterpoints (in double tempo) its thrilling. Listen to maestro Georg Lawall on guitar czcams.com/video/s9rJ-DK2V3Y/video.html at minute 5 .40 When Bach imitated the Lute, he is imitating the keys.
Thank you for your presentation and very pleasant performance. I believe that I would enjoy it even more if "flavored" with the judicious addition of optional ornaments. See, for example, "Ornamentation In J S Bach S Organ Works", by Putnam Aldrich
Wow, that instrument has a gorgeous sound!
Perotin really knew his way around an EMU SP1200, the way he produced those vocals just can't be done with digital emulation. I remember seeing my boy Pero opening for Cannibal Ox around the turn of the millennium, he dropped Viderunt Omnes and the club went off, absolute carnage, habits in the air, tankards of mead flying overhead, dude wrecked the place. Really hope that plainchant acetate he cut with Skibadee gets a rerelease some time soon, prices are wild on Discogs.
underrated comment.
😃
Bro this is gold
Klingt ungewohnt, aber doch feierlich.
❤️
This is just so wonderful . . . in every way. Thank you!
Wasn't this the same piece used in the 1991 Enigma album?
I see you switching manuals: is that notated or is that just a stylistic addition?
The sinfonia from BWV 174 is also the 1st movement of BWV 1048 but with more instruments added
They really knew how to write music in those days
Oh so beautiful (and informative) ... the music, enhanced by thoughtful presentation .. thank you Wayne & Early Music New York
I'm applauding this performance enthusiastically! thank you

I wish to second Marsha P's comment here. Notable also, that you simply sit at the instrument and play, without excessive body movements and gurning your face into strange contortions that some performers feel adds to the emotional value of the music!
Great content! I LOVE this instrument!!!
