What is circular breathing?
circular breathing is a respiratory technique in which the air is inhaled by the nose and at the same time exhaled by the mouth. This allows continuous playing of certain wind tools by maintaining constant air flow. Many traditional tools rely on circular breathing and some classic tools have a wider selection of pieces that can be played when used circular breathing. In principle, the air is blown slowly as normal, and when the lungs are almost empty, the last piece of air is pushed into the mouth where it inflates the cheeks. Because the faces can naturally blow out, push the air out, the lungs are filled with rapid breathing through the nose.
If this is done correctly, the body always allows air to flow, except for a short time when the faces are full of air and take responsibility for ensuring air to the tool. One way people think about circular breathing technique is an analogous drinking water from drinking a fountain and inhalation. The same kind of sharp inhalation is used while water is left into the mouth.
traditional tools that use circular breathing include Argul from Egypt, Laundry from Sardinia and a number of traditional Flutes of Asia. Perhaps the best known tool that relies on circular breathing is the Australian Didgeridoo. Didgeridoo is played by vibrating lips in droning sound, I breathe on a long tube while using circular breathing to maintain a constant sound. Players Didgeridoo can keep up with a continuous drone for more than forty-five minutes, giving Hypnotikum, trance-like that many people consider soothing and ideal for relaxing exercises.
The best known practice of circular breathing is probably the saxophonist and general player Woodwind, Kenny G. In 1997 he set a record for the Guinness book by playing a permanent e-Flat on his soprano saxophone. Note held for forty -five minutes and forty seven seconds and used circular D all the timeEducational techniques. Almost a year later, a saxophonic player from Costa Rica, Geovon Escalante, one remark for an hour thirty minutes and forty -five seconds, almost doubled the record Kenny G.
More and more modern orchestral music can be written around circular breathing, allowing continuous sequences of notes and long permanent notes. The fair amount of circular music -oriented music can be found in the canon of the 20th century, and in the 21st century, it is practically assumed that a qualified wind player will have this technique as part of their repertohnev. In addition, the use of circular breathing allowed to rewrite many classic pieces from chains to wind instruments. This can be seen, for example, in a piece of Paginini, Moto Perpetuo , which was rewritten to Trumpet Rafael Mendez.
