| Head | a tight membrane, originally of animal skin but now of a plastic material, stretched across the end of a drum that is struck by a stick to create sounds. When made of natural materials, the tension of the head is sensitive to changes in humidity, for example, damp conditions may cause the pitch to fall which the heat generated by television lights may cause the head to 'dry out' and pitch to rise. Plastic heads can reduce these problems and many timpanists have switched to them |

| (English, French m.) a double-reed woodwind instrument with the fingering of an oboe, pitched an octave lower (it is about 4 feet long), descending to the bottom of the bass clef (low A). It is similar to a bass oboe (also called 'baritone oboe' or 'baryton oboe'), but has a wider bore. The "general rule" for increasing the bore width when making a bass version of an instrument is to double the cross-sectional area of the bore for each octave down. The Heckelphone has a bore twice the diameter of an oboe bore. The instruments were created after composer Richard Wagner visited the Heckel factory in the 1880s and asked for an instrument that was in the range of a bass oboe and that had some of the qualities of an alphorn. By the time the instrument had been completed Wagner was dead. Fortunately, Richard Strauss 'fell under it's spell' and used it in his operas Salome and Elektra, as well as in his Alpine Symphony. Paul Hindemith wrote a trio for Heckelphone, Viola and Piano |

The process was mostly used for commercial printing between 1870 and 1914, though it is occasionally still used today |

| Helium voice | WARNING - Breathing helium can be very dangerous |
| many people, on hearing the voice of someone who has breathed helium, believe wrongly that the person's speech pitch has increased |
|
a cavity will have certain resonant frequencies. These frequencies depend on the shape and size of the cavity and on the velocity of sound within the cavity. Human vocal cords vibrate non-sinusoidally in the vocal tract, giving rise to a range of frequencies above the fundamental. The vocal tract mainly enhances lower frequency components imparting the recognizable voice spectrum |
| the velocity of sound in helium is much greater than in air, so breathing helium will raise the vocal tract's resonant frequencies. Although the vocal cords' vibrational frequencies are little affected by helium, the effect of higher cavity resonances is to alter substantially the relative amplitudes of the voice spectrum components thus leading to apparent pitch change

| Hell mouth | when medieval theatre developed, it was common to paint the entry onto a stage so the entry would resemble a gaping demon's mouth. This "hell mouth" would either be located on one side of the stage or it would be a trap-door in the floor. During morality plays and mystery plays, actors playing demons would enter through the hell mouth in order to dramatically grab sinners and drag them off to hell. By the time of the Renaissance, the term 'hell mouth' was used to refer to any trap-door in the bottom of the stage. At Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, for instance, the cellerage, or the entire area under the stage was referred to as "hell," and the area above the stage, where musicians played, was often referred to as "the heavens" |

| Helmholtz pitch notation | |
| Helmholtz resonators | resonance in acoustics occurs when some mass-spring combination is supplied with energy. Many musical instruments rely on air resonance to improve their sonority. If you blow across the mouth of a bottle you can often get a note. The bottle behaves as a Helmholtz resonator. The main volume of air inside the bottle is analogous to a spring, whilst the "plug" of air in the neck acts as an attached mass |
| the resonant frequency of a Helmholtz resonator is roughly given by |
f = { c √ (S/LV) } / 2π
|
c is velocity of sound
S is the surface area of the neck opening
V is bottle volume
L is the effective length of the neck, i.e. the actual length plus end correction
End correction ~ 1.5 times radius of neck opening
|
|
Example: A 75 cl (7.5E-4 m3) wine bottle with neck diameter 19 mm, bottle neck length 8 cm, air temp = 20 deg C |
|
calculated resonance = 109 Hz (actual resonance was 105 Hz)
|
|
Helmholtz resonators are sometimes employed as a means of passive noise control in air conditioning ducts. They may also be hidden in the wall design of auditoria and offices in order to improve the acoustics

| Herdringen manuscripts 9820/9821 | copied by a German speaker probably in the 1540s, the Herdringen manuscripts 9820 and 9821 contain some sixty works presented in score. The selection of pieces is rather different from that of most other retrospective collections of these years, such as those of the Glareanus circle or the printers in Nuremberg and Frankfurt. The works of Josquin chosen include otherwise unknown or obscure chansons and the motet Misericordias Domini as well as his four-voice En l'ombre d'ung buissonet ascribed to Ockeghem. And they appear alongside a surprising group of works by Agricola, Brumel, Antoine de Févin and others, including many apparently unknown pieces. The books represent what is, in the context of other known collections, a fresh and original view of the years around 1500. In addition, the copyist plainly looked at the works with an analytical intent. Marks on the scores draw attention to parallel movement, difficult suspensions, odd simultaneities, and so on |

| Heriot | (Anglo-Saxon here + geatwe, "army-gear") Heriot has two different meanings, depending upon whether we speak of the early Anglo-Saxon period or the later part of the medieval period. In its earliest sense, heriot was the gift of arms and armour an Anglo-Saxon chieftain or hlaford would give to his thegn, a warrior who vowed to serve him, to fight for him, and to avenge his master's death. Upon the thegn's death, the heriot would return to the hlaford. This gift of weaponry was a essential part of Anglo-Saxon warrior culture. In later historical periods, when the custom of direct military service became less vital, heriot degenerated into a tribute or service given to a lord on the death of his tenant, in which the eldest son of the tenant would provide the service much like the eldest son of the ancient thegn might return the arms and armour to the chieftain who originally gave it to the thegn |
