Moolelo o ka vibraphone

Hoʻopau – He mea kani keia no ka papa o ka percussion. He hui nui ia o nā papa i hana ʻia me ka metala, o nā diameters like ʻole, aia ma luna o kahi kiʻi trapezoidal. ʻO ke kumumanaʻo o ka waiho ʻana i nā moʻolelo e like me ka piano me nā kī keʻokeʻo a ʻeleʻele.

Hoʻokani ʻia ka vibraphone me nā lāʻau metala kūikawā me kahi pōpō non-metallic i ka hopena, ʻokoʻa ka paʻakikī o kekahi.

Ua manaʻo ʻia ua kani ka vibraphone mua o ka honua i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 20, ʻo ia hoʻi i ka makahiki 1916. ʻO Herman Winterhof, ka mea hana lima ʻAmelika mai Indianapolis. hoʻāʻo ʻia me kahi mea kani marimba a me kahi kaʻa uila. Makemake ʻo ia e hoʻokō i kahi kani hou loa. Akā, i ka makahiki 1921 wale nō lākou i lanakila ai i kēia. ʻO ia ka manawa mua i lohe ai ka mea hoʻokani kaulana ʻo Louis Frank i ke kani o kahi mea kani hou, a aloha koke iā ia. Ua kōkua ka mea kani i kapa ʻole ʻia i kēlā manawa iā Louie e hoʻopaʻa i ka "Gypsy Love Song" a me "Aloha 'Oe". Mahalo i kēia mau hana ʻelua, hiki ke lohe ʻia ma nā lekiō, nā hale ʻaina a me nā wahi lehulehu ʻē aʻe, ua kaulana ka mea kani me ka inoa ʻole. Ua hoʻomaka kekahi mau hui e hana a hana i ka manawa hoʻokahi, a ua loaʻa i kēlā me kēia o lākou kona inoa ponoʻī, hele mai kekahi me kahi vibraphone, ʻo kekahi vibraharp.

I kēia lā, kapa ʻia ka mea kani he vibraphone, a ua ʻākoakoa ʻia ma nā ʻāina he nui e like me Iapana, ʻEnelani, ʻAmelika a me Farani.

Ua kani mua ka vibraphone i ka orchestra i ka makahiki 1930, mahalo iā Louis Armstrong, ka mea i lohe i ke kani kū hoʻokahi, ʻaʻole hiki ke hele. Mahalo i ka orchestra, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia a hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ka leo leo mua me ke kani o ka vibraphone i kahi hana i ʻike ʻia a hiki i kēia lā i kapa ʻia ʻo "Memories of you".

Ma hope o 1935, ua neʻe ʻo Vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, ka mea hoʻokani pila ma Armstrong's orchestra, i ka hui jazz kaulana ʻo Goodman Jazz Quartet, a hoʻolauna i nā mea pāʻani jazz i ka vibraphone. Mai kēia manawa i lilo ai ka vibraphone i mea kani percussion i hoʻokani ʻia e ka orchestra, akā he hui kaʻawale hoʻi i ka jazz, mahalo i ka hui Goodman. Hoʻomaka ka vibraphone e hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea kani kani kaʻawale. I ka pau ʻana o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ua lanakila ʻo ia i nā puʻuwai o nā mea hoʻokani jazz wale nō, akā nā mea hoʻolohe hoʻi, ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi kūlana ma nā pae honua.

A hiki i ka makahiki 1960, ua hoʻokaniʻia ka mea kani me nā lāʻauʻelua me nā pōpō ma ka hopena, a laila, ua hoʻoholo ka mea hoʻokani kaulanaʻo Gary Burton e hoʻokolohua, hoʻomakaʻo ia e pāʻani meʻehā ma mua oʻelua. Ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ʻehā lāʻau, ua hoʻomaka ka moʻolelo o ka vibraphone e hoʻololi i mua o ko mākou mau maka, me he mea lā ua hanu ʻia ke ola hou i loko o ka mea kani, kani ʻia me nā memo hou, ua ʻoi aku ka ikaika a me ka hoihoi i ka hana. Ke hoʻohana nei i kēia ʻano, hiki ke pāʻani ʻaʻole wale i kahi mele māmā, akā kau pū kekahi i nā chord holoʻokoʻa.

I ka mōʻaukala hou, ua manaʻo ʻia ka vibraphone he mea hana lehulehu. I kēia lā, hiki i nā mea hoʻokani ke pāʻani me ʻeono lāʻau i ka manawa like.
