What reading level is Orchestral Instruments And Their Use; Giving a Description of Each Instrument Now Employed By Civilised Nations ... And An Explanation of Its Value And Functions in the Modern Orchestra book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hebrew prophets were familiar with it, and held it responsible for the fall of the walls of Jericho. Greece pos- sessed it even in the time of the Trojan war.
Rome adopted it at an early date, the lituus, or curved trumpet, coming from Oscan models, while the tuba was borrowed from the Etrus- cans.
Trumpets were constantly in use during the middle ages, especially in the period when chivalry flourished. Owing to the employment of the instrument by heralds on great occasions, it became a fav...ourite with the aristocracy, and an adjunct of royalty. As late as the time of Henry VIII. of England, we find a royal orchestra con- sisting of ten trumpets balanced against only nine stringed instruments. The wide popularity of the trumpet led to the formation of a trumpeters* guild, or society, which contained members of the highest rank and grew to be one of the most important of the old musical unions. It gave an impetus to the playing of the instrument, as well, and kept up the standard of excellence in execu-^^^j^ tion.
