CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
DECREES ON THE ADOPTION OF A SERPENT METHOD
General Assembly of the members of the Conservatory.
25 August 1812
Under the Rules of Conservatory Regulations, a special commission composed of Messieurs Gossec, Roze, Ozi and Rogat, which was assembled to formulate a serpent method for teaching in the Conservatory of Music, presents their completed work at the General Assembly.
The assembly heard with satisfaction the reading of this book and recognized it as useful for the service of worship and for military service; and adopted it unanimously for teaching in the Conservatory.
SARRETTE (President).
Director of the Conservatory of Music.
Considering the adoption by the Conservatory of Music on 25 August 1812, and pursuant to section 68 of the Regulations,
Decree:
The Serpent method adopted by the General Assembly of the members of the Conservatory will serve as the basis for teaching in the classes of the Conservatory.
SARRETTE.
The use of this serpent is much easier for military service than the former serpent; we hold the lower part on the right side, like the bassoon.
Because of this ease, the inventor named it a military serpent.

This serpent has all the qualities of the other, the same fingering, the same inconvenience of the high and middle C; but the sound is brighter, and the body is not covered with leather as it is with the old serpent.
METHOD
FOR THE STUDY OF THE SERPENT
ORIGIN AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE SERPENT.
The serpent has the same nature as the cornett. Its name comes from its shape, which for the greatest convenience is folded on itself given that the tube of the instrument, at six feet long, would have been too cumbersome to wield.
Edme Guillaume, canon of Auxerre Cathedral and treasurer of the bishop, the famous Jacques Amyot,[1] imagined this instrument in 1590: he first employed it in concerts performed at Amyot; in the simple music of this time, this instrument supported the tone in the unisons; it was then perfected as a bass instrument in the music of the great churches. Since then it has been employed with some advantages in military music.
Until now its primitive form had seemed the most convenient; but an instrument maker of Paris, Monsieur Piffault, has tried successfully to change it, see Figure 2e This form is preferable to the original for use in military music for marching infantry, but not so useful for cavalry; a more appropriate service must be found; it is up to instrument makers to see if the tubing of the serpent cannot be coiled, as it is on the horn.
HOW TO HOLD THE SERPENT.
There are several ways to hold the serpent; the oldest, probably indicated by Edme Guillaume, and which is still practiced generally in churches, is to hold it in a vertical position.
L'Abbé Lunel[2] changed the way he held the serpent, placing it diagonally, resting its second curve on the left wrist, leaving this hand freer and allowing the holes to be stopped with the middle of the last phalange: knuckle? (the pad of the last phalange of the finger is meant, distinct from and lower down than the fingertip), a procedure preferable to the first.
The use of serpents in military music requires a third way dictated by the nature of military service.
The serpent is held almost horizontally so that its lower part is placed out of the line of the body, leaving the knees with freedom of movement required to march and especially the quick step.
While this is usually followed in the infantry service, we will describe a fourth way which must be preferred by the mounted musician and which can be adopted usefully for the general use of the serpent as long as it retains its primitive form: one places the instrument in an absolutely horizontal position, one passes the right hand through the last curve formed by the bell, by this means one supports it and one closes the last three holes with more ease than one can by the ways described above.
If, as indicated above, a form similar to that of the horn can be realized, it will certainly be the one that best suits the use of the serpent. It will be much less cumbersome, and will determine a new way to hold this instrument.
ON THE MOUTHPIECE.
The mouthpiece is a small cup, usually made of ivory, which is inserted into a curved tube called the bocal.
The cup may vary in its proportions, but must be subordinate to the size of the lips of the player. The opening of the mouthpiece, which is used to introduce air into the instrument tube, must not be too large or too small.
The mouth must be placed on the middle of the mouthpiece so that the upper and lower lips are also covered.
EMBOUCHURE EXERCISE.
As with all the instruments in the cornett family, execution depends mainly on the embouchure.
In this sense we are not concerned with the shape of the mouth; but the art of making the air introduced by the performer resonate in the tube of the instrument, is what figuratively is called the embouchure.
Two musicians with the same lip conformation may have one with a good embouchure, the other less so; this difference determines the quality of the sound that each gets from the instrument.
A good embouchure is the result of a special and careful study.
For the first exercise of the serpent, the bocal is detached from the instrument, we place the mouthpiece as we have indicated, then we start the ranges by articulating the sounds (see page 4). This preliminary work, repeated a few times, gives security to the lips and sharpness to the articulation.
It is preferable that the student be familiar with the embouchure before becoming preoccupied with holding and sounding the instrument. When he arrived at this level, the bocal being replaced he chooses to hold the serpent one of the ways described, but we advise that the last we have indicated, as the most natural and most satisfying for all services; then the player will take care of fingering and sound formation.
ON FINGERING.
To take advantage of the serpent one must add to the study of the embouchure that of good fingering. We indicate one in the attached fingering chart, which is the result of the research done by the best teachers.
It is through the exercise of these two essential parts of the art to play the serpent that the pupil will manage to make rapid progress, that he will be able to acquire correctness, assurance of the notes, good tone, and finally the means of controlling the equality of the sound; as much as this instrument is susceptible to it, because it has vicious sounds that are very difficult to correct, diligent work and the intelligence of the performer are the surest means to achieve this. Nevertheless one can perform on the serpent, by means only of its mouthpiece, a few simple bass notes, it is the only resource that this instrument offers to non-musicians for use in lectern service; But since this is not the only goal that one should set when studying this instrument, we insist on careful study of fingering.
In order to obtain clarity in execution, care must be taken to place your fingers on the instrument so that they can act freely and effortlessly as necessary, they must be held against the holes so that each must close and open, taking care, in their action, that they do not slip, but strike precisely.
ON THE FORMATION OF SOUND.
The sound is the result of the introduction of the player's breath into the serpent tube through the bocal. This breath produces an air column that receives the action of the tongue, lips, and fingering, with various modifications that determine the sounds that can be obtained from the instrument. See the fingering chart.
ON ARTICULATION.
The action of the tongue alone, used as a valve in the emission of the breath, determines the articulation, without which the sound would be loose and monotonous; Not only do they give strength and clarity to the sound, but they have the advantage of sparing the performer, by only requiring the volume of air from the chest sufficient for the articulation of each sound.
It is understood that by saving the breath one prolongs the duration, a generally important objective for those engaged in the study of wind instruments, but even more so for the serpent because of the volume of its tubing.
The syllable du is used for the slurred sounds and tu for the detached sounds.
Example.

ON PRODUCING GOOD SOUND.
The rules of fingering alone are not sufficient to play the serpent well, which in this regard is one of the most difficult instruments, but one who is organised can, with particular work, and listening carefully to the sounds of the notes, manage to play it well.
The sounds of all the notes on the instrument, produced either by modifying the embouchure or fingering, must be formed first in the imagination, and if it happens that the inner feeling is false, the sound produced will become so too. Now as there is no method to teach chanter juste: perfect pitch?, that is to say, to teach how to produce with the voice a determined intonation; or to sing in unison with some note, there is also not, in the same sense, a way to teach playing so on the serpent. Musical knowledge is therefore here the first condition required, and the student who received it from nature must, before putting lips on the instrument, have acquired, through the exercise of the solfege, the habit of comparing the sounds, measuring the intervals, and grasping the intonations.
ON THE EQUALITY OF SOUND.
The equality of the voice of the instrument is the complement to all the conditions that must be met in order to have a good quality of sound.
This equality derives from that of the interlocking sounds and is obtained, as far as possible on the serpent, by avoiding giving too much strength to the brightest notes of the instrument, such as the pedal D and A, and artfully modifying them to bring out with more advantage and ease other notes that are naturally veiled or weak.
We will therefore get used to placing the sounds equally, by swelling or decreasing them with the same care, to play sparingly the easy sounds to focus on those that are less so. It will be through this essential study, indispensable to obtain equal sounds, round and mellow, that the student will succeed in acquiring a beautiful quality of sound.
ON TRILLS.
The trill, improperly called a cadence, is the alternation of two notes, consisting of the main note and a small note or grace note placed on it.
The trill or cadence is indicated by the sign or
The trill in its full extent, which is practiced on the final cadence (also called organ point or final point), must be executed as in this example.
On C

This trill is done with the right-hand middle finger, and would be too hard an octave higher.
On F
Play by alternating the first two fingers of the right hand.
Example.

In D major or minor
This trill can only be done like on the horn and tumpet, i.e. by the action of the lips.
Example.

The trill up to D is done by lifting the first two left-hand fingers, coming from the D which is all closed.
Example.

It is very difficult to play other trills on the serpent, by its opposed nature, its character, and the weight of its sound makes them useless.

- ↑ This prelate loved music, and in his episcopal palace he did not disdain to sing his part with musicians... his love for singing strengthened his friendships with those among the canons who willingly went to the Eagle? to sing there, and he similarly accepted? all the tourists, singers, clerks and other shopkeepers who had a good voice and knew their profession, provided they were good mannered, he even liked to play instruments, and
often before dinner he played a harpsichord, to sit at the table with a brighter mind after his serious studies.
The esteem he showed for the musicians emboldened them to take over the ancient antiphonal Cathedral system of Psalmodia, whose modulation was used at least since Charlemagne, and remove everything that was wrong with their new principles of understanding, making dissonant what was previously soft, thus introducing a barbarity and an amazing shortage? able to inspire contempt for Plainsong. What consoled zealous people for Gregorian singing and other ancient songs, however, is that at the very time of these changes, a canon of our Bishop and his treasurer invented an instrument capable of giving a new merit to Gregorian chant. This canon was named Edme Guillaume etc. (Life of Amyot by Abbé Leboeuf.)
- ↑ Serpentist from the Cathedral of Paris in 1772.
