Shawm. In the Praj'er-book version of Psa. xcviii, 7, '•with trumpets also and shawms''' is the rendering of what stands in the A. V. "with trumpets and sound of cnriii'iy The Hebrew word translated " cornet" will be fountl treated under that head. The " shawm" was a musical instrument resembling the clarionet. The word occurs in the forms shalm, s/ialmie, and is connected with tlie (ierman Schalmeie, a reed-pipe.
"With shamnes and trompets, and with clarions sweet." Spenser, F. Q. I, xii, 13.
"Even from the shrillest shanm unto the coru;nnute." Drayton, Poli/olb. iv, 3CC.
Mr. Chappell says (Pop. Mus. i, 35, note b), " The mod- ern clarionet is an improvement upon the shawm, which was played with a reed like the wayte, or hautboy, but, being a bass instrument, with about tlie compass of an octave, had probably more the tone of a bassoon." In the same note he quotes one of the " proverbis" written about the time of Henry VII on the walls of the Manor House at Leckingliekl, near Beverley, Yorkshire :
"A shawnie maketh a swete souude, for he tnnythe the basse ; It mountitlie not to hye, but kepith rule and space. Yet yf it be blowne with to velieineut a wyiide, It malvithe it to mysgoverne out of his kinde."
