10 Setups That Will Make Your Instrument Louder Better and Easier to Play-String musicians know only this: everything is vibrating. The movement of the spheres? A gurus cryptic musing? Hypersensitivity to plate tectonics? Not quite. This is the briefest possible distillation of Tragers Principle which states “When astring instrument is being played everything is vibrating from the top of the scroll to the tip of the endpin.” This simple formula the purest distillation of master luthier Chuck Traegers lifetime of learning holds the key to configuring yourinstrument to your specifications. It also forms the crux of his third and final book: String Instrument Setups: 10 Setups That Will Make Your Instrument Louder Better and Easier to Play. At the height of the Big Band era Traeger a doublebassist performed alongside a veritable whos who of New York jazz musicians including the likes of Louie Armstrong and Sidney Bechet. In was in this capacity – as Charlie Traeger one hip cat and a regularly frustrated client of NYCs instrumentrepair shops –Ÿthat he began his pursuit of sonic perfection. In 1969 satisfied with his abilities but devoted to constant self-improvement he opened his first repair shop. Before he knew it his reputation was preceding him and he found himselfhandling the instruments of school band novices and the New York Philharmonic alike. On his seventieth birthday Traeger retired from musicianship and devoted himself to comprehensively documenting all he had learned about his craft. Two decadeslater shortly after he put the finishing touches on String Instrument Setups Chuck Traeger passed away on November 9 2016. Scarcely a month had elapsed since the death of his beloved wife June to whom he was married for over sixty blissfulyears. Albeit with a heavy heart we at Hal Leonard Books are proud to present this remarkable mans parting gift to generations of current and future musicians. String Instrument Setups is the culmination of forty-five years of acoustic researchinvolving Tragers old standby the double bass and in turn any string instrument with a moveable bridge and a moveable tailpiece or one that can be made moveable. Armed with this book were confident that the average musician can enter almostany string instrument maker or repair shop in the world (the exception being a shop that has already read String Instrument Setups) ask for their best repair or restoration then make that instrument sound louder better and easier to play everytime. This is neither braggadocio nor hyperbole rather its the confidence instilled by one mans extensive research wholehearted devotion and firm belief in the sacred bond between instrument and musician. After reading String Instrument Setups were sure youll feel the same. Of all the knowledge that a good luthier - one who makes stringed musical instruments - can possess knowledge of a proper setup is far and away the most important. Proper set

Hearing and Composing in the Sistine Chapel- In the late 15th century the newly built Sistine Chapel was home to a vigorous culture of musical composition and performance. Josquin des Prez stood at its center singing and composing for the pope's private choir. Josquin's Rome offers a new reading of the composer's work in light of the repertory he and his fellow papal singers performed from the chapel's singers' box. Comprising the single largest surviving corpus of late 15th-century sacred music these pieces served as a backdrop for elaborately choreographed liturgical ceremonies-a sonic analogue to the frescoes by Botticelli Perugino and their contemporaries thatadorn the chapel's walls. Author Jesse Rodin uses a comparative approach to uncover this aesthetically and intellectually rich musical tradition. Confronting longstanding problems concerning the authenticity and chronology of Josquin's music while also offering nuanced readings of understudied works by his contemporaries the book contextualizes Josquin by locating intersections between his music and the wider soundscape of the Cappella Sistina. Central to Rodin's argument is the idea that these pieces lived in performance and the author demonstrates the interpretations of the music prevalent at the time in which it was composed through a series of exquisitely produced recordings on the companion website. Josquin's Rome is an essential resource for Musicologists scholars of the Italian Renaissance and enthusiasts of early music in general.
