词条 | English bagpipes |
释义 |
The English bagpipes are bagpipes played in England. Of these, the only continuous tradition is that of the Northumbrian smallpipes, which are used in North East England, particularly Northumberland and Tyne and Wear. Although bagpipes had formerly been used in other parts of England dating back at least to the Anglo-Saxon times, all but the Northumbrian smallpipes died out. Their reconstruction is a contested issue, as several distinct types of "extinct" bagpipes have been claimed and "reconstructed" based upon iconography or textual clues from English historical sources, though in all cases no undisputed physical examples remain. Bagpipes are mentioned in English literature as early as The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, written between the 1380s and 1390s. Writing in the Prologue about the Miller, the lines read: {{quote|A baggepype wel coude he blowe and sowne,And ther-with-al he broghte us out of towne.}} Stone and wood carvings of bagpipes of many different types began to appear in English cathedrals and churches beginning in the 14th century; examples of such carvings may be found in Cornwall, Dorset, Devon, Herefordshire, Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, Manchester, Norfolk, and Shropshire.[1][2][3] Anglo-Saxon BagpipesBagpipes are mentioned in Ancient Greece and then Rome, but disappear from history until reappearing in Medieval Spain and quickly spreading across parts of Medieval Europe, with one exception. Currently the only known Dark Age usage of bagpipes is in England. The Exeter Book of Riddles, a collection of manuscripts from across England written in the Old English language contains a riddle where the answer is, Bagpipes.[4] Also a number of Anglo-Saxon Musical instruments were uncovered at Hungate in York, among them a reed pipe. It has been proposed by researchers it may be a bagpipe chanter.[5] However there is no way of telling for sure as other instruments such as bladder pipes used reed pipes as well. Regional pipes
Controversy over the validity of "reconstruction"This process of reconstruction is controversial. Some British pipers and pipemakers, such as Julian Goodacre, have "reconstructed" several types of claimed extinct bagpipes, based on iconography and inconclusive textual clues. Other enthusiasts dispute these findings, as detailed in James Merryweather's article Regional Bagpipes: History or Bunk?[7] While dismissing much research as optimistic interpretations of the source materials, Merryweather claimed to have found indisputable evidence of a bagpiper in Liverpool in 1571. Per Merryweather, the records of the Liverpool Wait makes a single mention of one "henrie halewod bagpiper".[8] Other bagpipes of the British Isles undergoing reconstruction
