Judge O.m.j. of Timbrado Spanish
The
subject is somewhat dangerous that I have prevailed but I will try
to leave him the best thing than my insufficient sapiencia can dictate
to me. I know that, with this treaty I will not convince to all,
nor so at least I know, if I convince to some, but will at least
remain calm to have exposed something that, enough time, people
ago with great influence in my or long canaricultora life, they
impelled to me to do and to those who systematically it said, no.
From
for fifty years, concretely from 1954, public and well-known one
the existence of a great controversy in ours canary modality. Already
in 1964, there were voices that cried out by the recognition of
a new race, voices to which never we did case, but that judging
by happening of the times, we must perhaps it have done. We have
always thought that the Spanish Timbrado canary song Spanish and
the canary of Spanish Song, and that of the Country, was the same
one. The difference is based, in the conception of the same one
that it indicates to us, that we persecuted, towards where we go,
as it is the ideal canary. On the basis of these opinions, (towards
where we go, what we persecuted, the ideal...), I process this treaty,
so that nobody has the smaller doubt on our position, and speak
in plural because it consists to me to have the support and to enjoy
the coincidence in the criterion of multitude of canaricultores
and judges whom they persecute the same goals.
World-wide,
it is recognized that all modality of canary, as much of position,
color or song, has derived from a single species, that is the wild
canary of our islands.
In
the order of subordination of all the modalities of canary song,
ours she is next to the wild or wild canary. At least, thus we have
initiated the canaricultura in Asturias before 1950.
Through
transmitted History, without outside exact, we have ignored without
no restriction that, the canary origin of the postwar period was
that call of the Country, fruit of most select than it surpassed
this fight, but that of knowing, was crossed to give stature him,
with some Belgian stocks. In Asturias we did not do it thus. We
did not cross it any other species. Simply, the same system was
followed that, old canaricultores had used, obeying the dictations
of eminent people who were those that provided the first units to
us of wild canary.
Through
that Federation, incipiente, National, since they at the moment
make all the groupings present of Spain, we asked for the learned
judges that we considered more suitable and judging by the respective
works that they published and that were agreed with our thoughts,
at that time somewhat in mantillas.
Thus
we arrived at you contact with a person whom to us our future considered,
and to who never we will be able to thank for everything what did
by the Asturian canaricultura. I talk about to D. Antonio Drove
Aza, of most pleasing and permanent memory for the Asturian liking.
This
judge, great connoisseur of the Roller, the Timbrado one and the
Ruise6nor, (if the Timbrado expression arrived at omrme from, would
hang to me because the first that they gave origin to this denomination
they were the Germans who baptized them with the name of Timbrado
or Canary Border, and in addition, by that time on the fifty, the
Timbrado denomination of Spanish, was coincident with those denominated
canaries Canary Catalan Spanish who, judged with relation the type
to them, not to the song), inculcs guided to us by his own experiences,
had with the canaries, previous to our fight, which they were famous
in the city of Vich among others, which characteristics were, according
to him, metallic voice, shining, some with resonances and watery
turns, other dry, but essentially discontinuous ones.
If
this man was mistaken, we would be mistaken all, but it was so the
vehemence that put in its argumentations that he convinced to the
plus dmscolo and intransigente and we followed pme of the letter
his instructions.
No
he was to us nothing bad, certainly that no, because soon after
we could to observe, comparativily speaking, the great difference
between that in Asturias it was obtained and what happened in the
rest of Spain, gotten involved between if piau- piau and chau- chau
they were basic and hereditary turns and therefore origin of his
name.
Certainly
those turns before mentioned, never we liked by estridentes, devoid
of musicalidad and chillones. We understood that, song of the canary,
would have to produce according to our particular musical sensitivity,
effects different from which produced.
It
was impossible to have forty canaries in house and to maintain a
normal conversation with the family if he were not with shouts,
and they, shouted more. The memory, with a leg supported in the
grate, mirandote fixedly to the eyes and singing without stopping
CHAS-chas-chas, only interrupting itself to the abrupt gesture of
its caretaker, when more whine was already made unbearable. Somebody
and now could argue, good, is that they would be very bad. Certainly,
they were it, but then, they were those that awarded in different
aids who were celebrated in Spain and, that surprised more to us.
Thus
we initiated the canaricultura in Asturias, and thus we learned
to differentiate, to distinguish and to study, each one of the factors
that they take part essentially in the song of this type of canary
that he occupies, looking for a compatible musicalidad to us that
he relaxes, that surprises, that forces to pay attention like a
any artist.
They
said to us and, in addition they imposed to us, that of " basic
and hereditary turns ", but we were surprised when, already
in the first crossing with wild, these they disappeared. How it
is possible that they are hereditary and they disappear in the first
assault. We verified how those CHAUS-chaus and PIAUS-piaus, were
transformed into other turns sweeter and musical, but also imperfect,
judging by which they said to us who were more imposing in the matter.
Thus those MAU- MAU arose; the DAU-dau etc., no longer estridentes,
because they eliminated the strong consonant that always produces
estridencia as the CH and the P. we were astonished when verifying
like they appeared a series of turns to which we said " rare ",
and that we did not understand if they were good or bad, but certainly
they enchanted us by the musical comedies that were and the concrete
effort that it had to be exerted to be able to execute them, and
how the different scores were improvised, because, one of the qualities
that it surprised to us more was that, never they sang equal. What
it sounded so well, had to be good by noses, although in certain
places they said to us that they were atypical. Later they turned
out to be the Champions in the first aid Iberian of 1954, where
they swept.
With
this matter in our hands, was necessary to analyze each one of the
expressions that our canaries executed, to study his different syllabic
compositions as much as pitch and to presume future possible cadences.
This imposition was generalized and directed from Madrid, by our
teacher D. Antonio Drove Aza and, thus arose that simulator of TIMBRES,
and that imitador of WATERS, where varying initially of manual form,
as much the frequency, as the intensity, the speed and the rate,
was studied, in the beginning simple imitations of the real turns.
Later we used the other average most sophisticated ones, of own
harvest, where each turn in its real essence could be studied, all
this, directed towards the formation of the own canaricultor.
We
experienced infinity of devices and systems that facilitated the
education of the new canaries, such as the acoustic regulation of
light, cajoneras, communicating to each other other no, and most
essential, the total absence of any type of guide who, as much prevents
the outcrop of the transmissible factors on the part of the father
as of the mother, so that we have always practiced a reasoned canaricultura.
That is to say, copy absence as much natural as artificial, of such
form that pichones they would be born already, in absence of the
parents, to avoid therefore the initial learning that the own ancestor
marks in first days of existence.
With
these applied systems, surprised to us to observe like brothers
of nest, that always was together, they had scores different, and
as in these one went away increased the syllabic components.
We
also observed the enormous influence of the phenotype at the time
of listening qualities of sounds and their respective joints. This
discovery, it made us think that, we would have to affect of selective
form in certain types, avoiding those that contributed imperfect
sounds to us, as it happens to those canaries extended like lapiceros.
We began to be centered in that they arranged the widest chest,
the shortest neck and the possible pompoussest head and was easy
to us, because the own wild already had been in charge to contribute
such qualities. We really favored the appearance of canaries that
arranged of a more perfect instrument and as a result of more apt
canaries, with more qualities for our aims.
While
this happened in Asturias, what happened in the rest of Spain. Then
simply, judging by the writings that are published and the own comparisons
that we could make, and others we were in opposite ends. Instead
of studying the followed process, they predicted that they were
fruit of crossings with another modalities, (not known on the other
hand in Asturias). Others argued already known, atypical
The pluses they said already devoid of the classic basic and hereditary
turns, but all showed an intense interest by to be able them or
the minus to have a copy of its respective ones turns.
This
happened on years 60-64, but, You think that you have changed to
something the things. Absolutely. Today concepts are preached but
others practice. Principles are accepted, but it is not believed
in them of such form that, to first of change they return to articulate
postulates of long ago, that yes, taking care of the phrases, avoiding
the one of basic and hereditary, arguing little clarity in the definitions.
It is not spoken already of chaus-chaus nor of piaus-piaus but they
once in a while have them in mind and, some inexpert, you the release
suggesting, very to the smooth thing that, emitted from sweet form
and in average tones they are very musical, without considering
that such turns will prearrange to the estridencia, as much more,
the more adult are and the more next they are to the period of fervor.
And what it defrauds more it is that, of very subtle form, that
in which is not created or does not know, or it is not understood,
the cons look for to him, to try their elimination. She happened
to Waters, now with the Joint Variations, what will bother tomorrow.
He is peculiar to observe how, systematically, one attacks those
concepts that they involve greater difficulty to the juzgador. The
logical one, a PIAU-piau, hears anyone, but a joint variation, composed
of slow Water and Floreo, no longer it is so easy for some ears
and less if one is due to explain and to discern its composition,
and this, in some judgments, already is daily.
They
have spent many years already and we can to be able to demonstrate
all the demonstrable one.
We
arrange of an amplest experience and mainly we have more essential,
our canary.
Before,
it could argumentarsenos that was utspicas things that we defended,
now no, because there is a canary type present and not only in Asturias.
This canary, can be listened as much in Zaragoza, as in Bilbao,
Lugo, Cantabria, Murcia, Alicante, Utrera, Port of Santa Maria,
Leon and a long etc. To as much mention some of most compatible
in the time as in the personal treatment.
Like
consequence of before mentioned, to have that canary basic, we can
define it, and we can define it, because practical accomplishment
what we looked for in fifty. It is therefore, the canary that we
have created with much premeditation.
Our
canary is fruit of a direct evolution of the wild. We have said
it already, and is therefore, next to him without mixture of no
other modality. This foundation is totally demonstrable in analytically
in a qualified laboratory. It is a canary, of STAMPED SONG SPANISH,
for canary us OF SPANISH SONG and we defined it thus because this
denomination is more perfect, because it puts clear record of its
origin and in addition it clears the STAMPED confusion and TIMBRES,
existing already from a principle, and this we do not say it now,
but that as can be demonstrated, we always defended it. More ahead
this same treaty, I will affect this subject.
The
qualities by means of which we can classify its diverse scores,
can be explained of many forms. Let us think that the existing ones
to date are quite correct, clear and define in its majority perfectly
to our canary, but it seems that there is some sector that, thinks
of form estilista than practically and, they see problems in all
the definitions. They analyze word by word, looks for relations,
sometimes confuses concepts, but that it does not matter, and in
the end, " one stops " other definitions that grow dark more in
primary concept, they make and ___ less intelligible
