DESCRIPTION:The Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n\nDoctoral Colloquium:
  Shanti Nachtergale\n\n\nTitle:\n	 \n\nThe 19th-Century Double Bass: Inters
 ections of Tuning\, Timbre\, and Technique\n\n \n\nAbstract\n\n \n\nThe do
 uble bass remained less standardized than other Western string instruments
  in its construction\, tuning\, and performance conventions throughout the
  nineteenth century. Circa 1800\, four primary tunings were in use across 
 Europe––Viennese (F'-A'-D-F#-A)\, Italian (A'-D- G)\, French (G'-D-A)\, an
 d German (E'-A'-D-G)\; a century later\, the German tuning had become the 
 international standard. Drawing on the theory of sociomateriality and appr
 oaches from behavioural archeology\, I investigate the choices and comprom
 ises that led to German tuning eventually supplanting the other tunings.\n
 \n\n	For this purpose\, I commissioned a double bass with interchangeable n
 ecks to allow me to compare performance characteristics of the four histor
 ical tunings. I explore the technical implications of each tuning\, and br
 idge admittance measurements provide insight into the effect of different 
 tuning setups on the instrument’s sound. The acoustic data and technical c
 onsiderations are analyzed in a performance matrix\, which informs a discu
 ssion of the suitability of each tuning in various musical contexts.\n		\n		Bi
 ography\n		 \n\n	Shanti Nachtergaele is a PhD candidate in Musicology\, writi
 ng her dissertation on the sociomaterial history of the professional doubl
 e bassist in the period 1760–1890. She is co-supervised by Steven Huebner 
 and Tom Beghin. Also active as a performer on historical double bass and v
 iolone\, Shanti appears regularly with ensembles throughout Canada. She ha
 s published articles in Early Music and Music and the Moving Image\, and c
 ontributed an essay to the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Arrangement Stud
 ies. She is the recipient of a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (2018–’2
 1) and the International Society of Bassists Special Recognition Award for
  Scholarship (2021).\n\n
