hulka. Oma kõlakarakterilt paikneb ta puu- ja vaskpillide vahel. Saksofoni leiutas Pariisis töötanud Belgia päritoluga meister Adolphe Sax. Esialgu kasutati saksofone sõjaväeorkestrites. Hiljem hakati teda järjest rohkem kasutama kergemuusika ansamblites ja orkestrites. Kaasajal on kasutusel 8 liiki saksofone – alates kõrgemast:sopranino, sopran, alt, tenor, bariton, bass, kontrabass ja subkontrabass. Enim leiavad kasutamist – sopran in B, alt in Es, tenor in B, briton in Es. Diapasoon on saksofonil keskmiselt kaks ja pool oktaavi. Mängutehnilised võimalused on saksofonil väga suured – ülikiiretest passaazidest kuni aeglaste pikkade nootideni, nõrgimast pp laia ja kandva f. Eriomaduseks on võimalus saksofonil mängida glissandos (helilit helile libisedes mängimine), mis teistel puhkpillidel puudub. Välimuselt on saksofonid kahesugused – sopranino ja sopran on sirged, ülejäänud aga kõverad, mängija poole painutatud
..-1066): Britain was part of the European land mass until the end of the last Ice Age. It became an island by about 6000 BC. From about 3000 to 2000 BC the British Isles were inhabited by a group of people called the Iberians. These Stone Age people lived in limestone caves, they used stone axes and fashioned antlers and bones into leather-working tools. Later groups of people from what are now Germany, the Netherlands and Brittany also settled in Briton. During the Bronze Age, they mined tin, gold and copper and made bronze tools. They also probably built the spectacular prehistoric megaliths, such as Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. The Celts invaded the British Isles in the 5th century BC in two waves. The Britons grew wheat and corn, caught fish, and tamed and bred animals. They made coarse cloth for their clothes, learned the art of pottery, made things of wool, metal and copper, and were good warriors. They
(Gaul, called Gallia by the Romans), the Iberian Peninsula (Lat. Hispania) and the 15 British Isles. By the Christian era the Celtic peoples on the mainland were conquered by Rome and later gradually Romanized, that is they took on the language of the Romans (Latin), their culture and institutions. Their Celtic Latin developed into the three modern Romance languages – French, Spanish and Portuguese. All the Celtic tribal names disappeared. Belgian (Lat. Belgi), Briton, Eire ['eərə], Scot are rare exceptions. The only places where the Celtic languages and elements of their culture have survived are Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and Brittany in north-western France (in the last instance largely as a result of immigration from Britain during the Anglo-Saxon invasion and settlement of present-day England – from the 5 th to the 7th century AD; see Unit 4). 2
telegraph cable. Heil mein Führer! (signed) Ohnesorge To the Leader and Reich Chancellor o f the Greater German Reich Berlin W8 Dr. Ohnesorge appended a concrete example of the intercept station's success: a cryptanalyzed and translated conversation plucked from the ether at 7:45 p.m. September 7, 1941. A Briton who had just arrived in the United States was talking with a colleague back in England about the need for a man named Campbell to have an assistant and about their propaganda bureau. The group continued to send transcripts to Hitler's desk, including a 1942 chat between Churchill (at Whitehall 4433) and a Mr. Butcher in New York, and one between Major General Mark Clark and the Inspector General's office in Washington.
