Treble flute (original) (raw)
The treble flute is a member of the flute family. It is in the key of G, pitched a fifth above the concert flute and is a transposing instrument, sounding a fifth higher than the written note. The instrument is rare today, only occasionally found in flute choirs, some marching bands or private collections. Some 19th-century operas, such as Ivanhoe, include the instrument in their orchestrations. * v * * e

| dbo:abstract | The treble flute is a member of the flute family. It is in the key of G, pitched a fifth above the concert flute and is a transposing instrument, sounding a fifth higher than the written note. The instrument is rare today, only occasionally found in flute choirs, some marching bands or private collections. Some 19th-century operas, such as Ivanhoe, include the instrument in their orchestrations. A limited number of manufacturers produce G treble flutes, including Myall-Allen and Flutemakers Guild. The flutes have many of the same options as their larger C flute cousins, including sterling silver bodies, trill keys, and soldered keys. It is very similar to a piccolo, and plays in the same range, although, because it is slightly larger, it has a different quality at the upper end of its register, and it has an extended lower register, as compared with the piccolo. The instrument should not be confused with the alto flute, also in G, which is a larger instrument that transposes down a fourth to the octave below the treble flute. Since the demise of the Renaissance flute consorts, this treble flute in G seems to have all but disappeared. Only the flute bands of Northern Ireland and Scotland that have converted from the traditional "simple system" flutes to Boehm system silver flutes make extensive use of the treble flutes in G. Current instrumentation of one of these ensembles typically would be: Solo piccolo in C, Solo treble flute in G, 1st, 2nd and 3rd treble flutes in G, Solo flute in C, 1st and 2nd flutes in C, 1st and 2nd alto flutes in G, bass flutes in C, (and contrabass flutes in C), 4 percussion. * v * * e (en) De zogenaamde treble flute (sopraanfluit) in G maakt deel uit van de familie van de dwarsfluit. Het instrument is gestemd in G, een reine kwint hoger dan de gewone dwarsfluit in C. Het is een transponerend instrument: als een fluitist de noten speelt zoals geschreven klinkt alles dus een reine kwint hoger. Het instrument moet niet worden verward met de veel gebruikelijker altfluit die ook in G staat, en precies een octaaf lager is gestemd. Sinds het verdwijnen van de zogenaamde fluitconsorten uit de Renaissance wordt het instrument maar zelden gebruikt of voorgeschreven. Sommige fluitorkesten en militaire orkesten maken er nog wel gebruik van. Enkele 19e-eeuwse opera's, zoals van Arthur Sullivan schrijven het instrument voor. Verder wordt het instrument gebruikt in de traditionele fluitorkesten in Noord-Ierland en Schotland sinds deze van traditionele houten instrumenten overstapten op Böhmfluiten van metaal. Niet geheel toevallig bevindt een van de weinige bouwers die weer treble-fluiten in G zijn gaan maken zich in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Myall-Allen and Flutemakers Guild. Een gebruikelijke bezetting van zulke fluitorkesten is bv. 1 piccolo in C, solo-treble-fluit in G, 1e, 2e en 3e treble-fluiten in G, solo-fluit in C, 1e en 2e fluiten in C, 1e en 2e altfluiten in G, basfluiten in C en evt. contrabasfluiten in C, naast slagwerk.
