‖ schryari, n., chiefly collect.|ʃrɪˈɑːrɪ|
[Of uncertain origin (see note below).]
A variety of wooden double-reed wind instrument used in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and recently revived for the playing of early music.
Our knowledge of the schryari comes principally from descriptions and drawings furnished by Praetorius, who regards the term as a plural form related to schreierpfeife. Later authorities have suggested an Italian or Oriental origin, but satisfactory evidence is lacking.
[1618–20M. Praetorius Syntagma Musicum II. xviii. 42 Schryari (Auff deutsch Schreyerpfeiffen) sennd starck vnnd frisch am Laut/können vor sich alleine/vnd auch zu andern Instrumenten gebraucht werden [etc.]. ]1939A. Carse Musical Wind Instr. xi. 129 Still more shadowy are the schryari or schreierpfeifen of which Praetorius gave a brief description... Not a single specimen is known. 1940C. Sachs Hist. Mus. Instr. xv. 322 Schryari were loud, shrill, double-reed instruments with a tapering bore and a reed-concealing cap; they had seven fingerholes in front and two in back for the two thumbs. 1964S. Marcuse Mus. Instr. 463/1 Schryari were made in consorts of soprano, alto/tenor, and bass; they had conical tubes with double reed protected by a reed cap, 7 front fingerholes, and 2 rear thumbholes. 1976D. Munrow Instr. Middle Ages & Renaissance 52/2 The most surprising feature however is that the exterior of the schryari is conical. |
