In french Serpent means Snake . • Very popular in France it was played in vocal music where it serves to strengthen the bass, but also in instrumental music where it was considered as the real bass of the Cornet. Marin Mersenne writes in 1636 that Cornets without the Serpent are like a body without soul . Later the Serpent was employed in the orchestra and chamber music while maintaining a religious function as was the case in Versailles. It will be from the second half of the 18th century that it will be played throughout Europe as witnessed by the scores of Haydn or Beethoven. It is from 19em century that it is gradually replaced by the ophicleide then by the tuba. It is interesting to note that it is maintained long enough as evidenced by the parts of Serpent in Rienzi by Richard Wagner or in la symphonie fantastique from Berlioz. • In this video, it is an example of practice as a concert instrument as it possibly was during the 18th century. • Patrick Wibart • #serpent #earlymusic #baroquemusic
