우리의 사회에 관하여

국제 예술휘파람 필하모닉 협회 (International Artwhistling Philharmonic Society; IAPS) 는 국제 순수 예술 단체들 가운데서 휘파람 불기를 정립하고 대표하기 위해 설립된 독립된 기관입니다. 우리의 목표는 “클래식 음악에서의 휘파람 불기의 응용을 탐색하고, 다른 악기들의 전통과 마찬가지로, 휘파람 연주, 교육에 있어서의 진정한 예술적 기준을 설립하는 것”입니다. 우리의 가치는 예술 이다, 음악, 교육, 연구, 그리고 완전성.

정규 취명은 다양한 볼거리로 꾸며지는 공연 의 일부터 상연되었다, 그러나 희소하게 계속 참신보다는 더를 위해 사용하지 않으나 평가된다. 동시에, 예술의 친구를 관심을 끌l지도 모른다 인간 취명에 양자 택일 접근 있는다 것 을 우리는 생각한다. 음악가는 더 지금 것을 입 플루트 발견하고 있다, 적당하게 발전하는 만약에, 어떤 관악기 가동가능하 있는 할 수 있는다, 그리고 의외로 거의 비슷하게 녹음방송에 가장 큰 예술 음악 레퍼토리의 가능하 - 그것은 연예인을 위해 귀중한 이차 공구 (또는 솔로 매체를) 만들n, 학자, 작곡자, 지휘자, 교육자, 그리고 음악 열성가.

 

Definition of Artwhistling™

The International Artwhistling Philharmonic Society thus recognises a distinction between whistling, staged whistling (Kunstpfeifen), and artwhistling™ (Pfeifkunst). The last is a term we coined to describe this growing movement in human whistling; specifically:

Artwhistling™ (Pfeifkunst) is human whistling approached from the perspective and interests of the art music community. Artwhistling therefore excludes non-musical and novelty-oriented uses of human whistling, but embraces the music of every century, the repertoire of all instruments, and the musical potential offered by all whistling techniques. Artwhistling encourages the mouthflute as a valuable tool for furthering a formal understanding of music; it is not a promotion of whistling per se.

 

Our Values The artwhistling movement is founded upon:   Art. We believe in the importance of art as an integral facet of human experience and civilisation. Through standards of excellence evolved over time-honoured tradition, art challenges people to appreciate and reach greater potentials, thereby enriching the lives of both performer and audience. In contributing to art, each individual becomes part of an immortal tradition. Music. The world's collective traditions of art music represent one of the pinnacle achievements of human civilisation. We believe that everyone can and should have the opportunity to enjoy and experience art music, not only as listeners, but through active participation as well. Education. We believe that education promotes understanding, respect, and human development; and that education should be accessible to everyone. We also believe that art experience and creativity, including music, are an integral part of a general education ; and that formal music study is an asset to becoming broadly informed about music. Research. Ours is the first society committed to research in human whistling, including acoustic, physiological, and musical aspects. Our society includes scientists, medical professionals, linguists, and musicologists whose combined research and experiments yield the newest discoveries in a remarkably unexplored field. These contributions (discussed in our Members Forum, published in Siffleur, and collected in our Archives) make our society the most complete and authoritative source of information on human whistling anywhere in the world. Standards & Artistic Integrity. We believe that good music is more important than whistling. We do not promote whistling simply because it is whistling. Our approach to whistling emphasises musical value; not novelty, media exposure, or 'world' contests. Artwhistling results when the same artistic standards expected of all instruments are extended to include human whistling. At the same time, we understand that standards reflect our ideals and direction, not our current ability. If we have low standards, anything we do can be called 'art'. This may generate publicity, if that is our goal; but it does not make us better musicians, nor does it serve art. The total scope of good music is not bound to any one person's lifetime, but spans the entirety of human civilisation, both past and future. We look to musical traditions for standards because we grow from the accomplishments of those who came before us, because great accomplishments are timeless, and because art makes music a better experience for performer, listener, and student alike.

 

Welcome to the next great revolution in art music.
