Michael Morpurgo, author. A child needs to feel from the very start that she or he is wanted and loved. They should grow up in the soil of affection of care. There is no replacement for that, it is the most important thing.
American bugler in the Navy, 1917. The bugle is a very simple brass instrument. It has no valves or other mechanisms, the only way the player has to control the pitch is changing the shape of his lips. This means that only notes from the harmonic series can be played.
HISTORY: The early timpani was used in Eastern military music and was brought to Europe in the 15th century. It was first performed by the cavalry on horseback and eventually into the orchestra by the 17th century. Originally, pitch was changed by tightening or loosening the threaded bolts around the rim.
