Caroline Phillips: Hurdy-gurdy for beginners

Prevodilac: Djuro Vorkapic Lektor: Ivana Korom

Now, since this is TEDGlobal,

Budući da je ovo TEDGlobal,

who can tell me what this is called in French?

ko zna kako se ovo zove na francuskom?

I see you're all up on the history of hurdy-gurdy --

Vidim da poznajete istoriju vergla --

"vielle à roue."

"vielle à roue".

And in Spanish, "zanfona."

A na španskom, "zanfona."

And in Italian, "ghironda," okay?

Na italijanskom, "ghironda," razumete?

Hurdy-gurdy, or wheel fiddle.

Vergl ili violina sa točkom.

So, these are the different kinds and shapes of the hurdy-gurdy.

Dakle, postoje različite vrste i oblici vergla.

The hurdy-gurdy is the only musical instrument

Vergl je jedini muzički instrument

that uses a crank to turn a wheel

koji koristi polugu za okretanje točka

to rub strings, like the bow of a violin,

koji struže žice, kao gudalo na violini,

to produce music.

da bi proizveo muziku.

It has three different kinds of strings.

Ima tri različite vrste žica.

The first string is the drone string,

Prve žice zuje,

which plays a continuous sound like the bagpipe.

proizvode konstantan zvuk kao gajde.

The second string is a melody string,

Druge žice su melodične,

which is played with a wooden keyboard tuned like a piano.

one se sviraju drvenim klavijaturama naštimovanim kao klavir.

And the third string is pretty innovative.

A treće žice su poprilično inovativne.

It's also the only instrument

Takođe to je jedini instrument

that uses this kind of technique.

koji koristi ovu tehniku sviranja.

It activates what's called the buzzing bridge, or the dog.

One aktiviraju ono što je poznato kao zvučni most ili pas.

When I turn the crank and I apply pressure,

Kada okrenem polugu i pritisnem,

it makes a sound like a barking dog.

proizvodi zvuk kao lavež psa.

So all of this is pretty innovative,

Tako da je ovo poprilična novina,

if you consider

ako uzmete u obzir

that the hurdy-gurdy appeared about a thousand years ago

da se vergl pojavio pre oko hiljadu godina

and it took two people to play it;

i da je zahtevao dvoje ljudi za sviranje;

one to turn the crank,

jedan da okreće polugu,

and another person -- yes -- to play the melody

a drugi da svira melodiju

by physically pulling up large wooden pegs.

tako što bi povlačio velike drvene poluge.

Luckily, all of this changed a couple of centuries later.

Srećom, sve se promenilo nekoliko vekova kasnije.

So, one person could actually play

Tako da, sada jedna osoba može da svira

and almost -- this is pretty heavy --

i skoro -- a ovo je prilično teško --

carry the hurdy-gurdy.

da nosi vergl.

The hurdy-gurdy has been used, historically, through the centuries

Vergl se koristio, istorijski, kroz vekove

in mostly dance music

uglavnom za plesnu muziku

because of the uniqueness of the melody

zbog jedinstvene melodije

combined with the acoustic boombox here.

kombinovane sa ovom akustičnom kutijom.

And today, the hurdy-gurdy is used in all sorts of music --

Danas se vergl koristi u različitim muzičkim pravcima --

traditional folk music,

tradicionalnoj narodnoj muzici,

dance, contemporary

plesu, modernoj

and world music --

i svetskoj muzici --

in the U.K., in France, in Spain

u Britaniji, Francuskoj, Španiji

and in Italy.

i u Italiji.

And this kind of hurdy-gurdy takes anywhere from three to five years [to order and receive it].

Za ovakav vergl je potrebno negde između tri i pet godina [od narudžbe do prijema].

It's made by specialized luthiers,

Prave ga posebni majstori,

also in Europe.

takođe u Evropi.

And it's very difficult to tune.

I veoma ga je teško naštimovati.

So without further ado, would you like to hear it?

Dakle bez daljnjeg odlaganja, da li biste voleli da ga čujete?

(Audience: Yes.)

(Publika: Da.)

Caroline Phillips: I didn't hear you. Would you like to hear it? (Audience: Yes!)

Kerolin Filips: Nečujem vas. Da li biste voleli da ga čujete? (Publika: Da!)

CP: Okay.

KP: U redu.

There I go.

Počnimo.

I'd like to sing in Basque,

Volela bih da pevam na baskijskom

which is the language spoken in the Basque Country where I live,

to je jezik koji se govori u Baskiji gde ja živim,

in the region in France and Spain.

u regiji u Francuskoj i Španiji.

Thank you.

Hvala.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

This is a song that I wrote

Ovu pesmu sam napisala

based on traditional Basque rhythms.

i zasnovala na tradicionalnim baskijskim ritmovima.

And this is a song that has a kind of a Celtic feel.

Pomalo ima irski osećaj.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hvala. Hvala vam.
