Abstract:
This research catalogues, studies and examines the so-called bugles or orderly beeps from a musical and historical point of view, contextualizing and trying to explain its use. They have been divided in different forms to be played in the Spanish Armed Forces and they are currently performed. Likewise, the instruments to play these bugles are classified and catalogued according to their size, nature, tuning, manufacturing materials, etc in order to know more about their acoustic and organology. Finally, the aforementioned bugles are analyzed in detail for their study and cataloguing collecting in edited scores and those kept orally. They have been transcribed and revised as well as recorded and performanced in a CD-Rom by the author of the doctoral thesis and some military musicians, taking into account the slight differences of the same bugle transmitted orally.
