Ioana Sherman
The fluier and caval, types of end-blown duct flutes, are the most prominent instruments in the southern region of Romania and have had a connection to the Romanian people for many centuries. Sherman will discuss the caval and fluier before, during, and after the Communist regime, in particular their role and function in the community, how playing techniques have changed over the century, and how the skill of crafting the instruments has changed. The research presented was conducted in the summer of 2007 and during the 2004-2005 academic year on an IIE Fulbright Fellowship. Duke has obtained examples of both types of instruments this fall.
