Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative and the Film/Music Cluster of the University of Rochester present October 23–26, 2014 Eastman School of Music Rochester, New York The Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI) When the Eastman School of Music opened its doors in 1921, it housed the largest and most lavish organ collection in the nation, befitting the interests of its founder, George Eastman. Mr. Eastman provided the School with opulent facilities and stellar faculty, creating an expansive vision for organ art and education in the 20th century. Over the years, the Eastman School has built on this vision by offering one of the most distinguished organ programs in the world. In keeping with this tradition of excellence, the Eastman School of Music has embarked on a long-range plan, the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI), which will extend George Eastman’s vision into the 21st century. With the aim of making Rochester a global center for organ performance, research, building, and preservation, the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative of the Eastman School of Music is assembling a collection of new and historic organs unparalleled in North America. An incomparable teaching resource, this collection offers access to organs of diverse styles and traditions to talented young musicians from around the world. Tourists, scholars, and music lovers are drawn to Rochester to hear the varied sounds of these extraordinary instruments. In its short thirteen-year history, EROI has completed an initial phase that has included the placement of four magnificent instruments in downtown Rochester. A historic Italian Baroque organ was installed in the University of Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery in 2005. -

Founded in 1896 as both an educational and service organization, it sets and maintains high musical standards and promotes the understanding and appreciation of all aspects of organ and choral music. The purpose of the AGO is to promote the organ in its historic and evolving roles, to encourage excellence in the performance of organ and choral music, and to provide a forum for mutual support, inspiration, education, and certification of Guild members. The Guild currently serves approximately 20,000 members in more than 300 local chapters throughout the United States and abroad. The American Organist magazine, the official journal of the AGO and the Associated Pipe Organ Builders of America, reaches an audience of more than 24,000 each month. The AGO’s Committee on Continuing Professional Education creates and promotes Guild programs as “education for a lifetime.” The primary responsibility of this committee is the planning of the biennial National Conference on Organ Pedagogy. In addition, the Committee works through the AGO’s Councillors for the Regions to encourage and promote the Guild’s professional certification program in sacred music. -
The Westfield Center
The Westfield Center The Westfield Center was founded in 1979 by Lynn Edwards and Edward Pepe to fill a need for information about keyboard performance practice and instrument building in historical styles. In pursuing its mission to promote the study and appreciation of the organ and other keyboard instruments, the Westfield Center has become a vital public advocate for keyboard instruments and music. By bringing together professionals and an increasingly diverse music audience, the Center has inspired collaborations among organizations nationally and internationally. In 1999 Roger Sherman became Executive Director and developed several new projects for the Westfield Center, including a radio program, The Organ Loft, which is heard by 30,000 listeners in the Pacific Northwest; and a Westfield Concert Scholar program that promotes young keyboard artists with awareness of historical keyboard performance practice through mentorship and concert opportunities. In addition to these programs, the Westfield Center sponsors an annual conference about significant topics in keyboard performance. Since 2007 Annette Richards, Professor and University Organist at Cornell University, has been the Executive Director of Westfield, and has overseen a new initiative, the publication of Keyboard Perspectives, the Center’s Yearbook, which aims to become a leading journal in the field of keyboard studies. Since 2004, the Westfield Center has partnered with the Eastman School of Music as a cosponsor of the EROI Festival. 1 The Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI) When the Eastman School of Music opened its doors in 1921, it housed the largest and most lavish organ collection in the nation, befitting the interests of its founder, George Eastman. -

Lexique De L'orgue
L exique des T ermes de l’ O rgue par Jean MERCIER Ce Lexique n’a évidemment pas la prétention d’être exhaustif. Tout au plus permettra-t-il à son utilisateur de se familiariser quelque peu avec l’instrument qu’il entend décrire. Nous nous sommes parfois inspiré des définitions contenues dans le Manuel RORET. A Abrégé..............: MÉCANIQUE. Organe mécanique qui transmet aux soupapes des sommiers le mouvement des touches des claviers ou de la pédale. Il est constitué de tringles de bois ou de métal (les rouleaux), reliées d’une part aux touches, d’autre part aux soupapes. Le mouvement est ainsi élargi de la largeur du clavier à celle du sommier. Il existe diverses sortes d’abrégés : simples (pour un seul clavier), composés ou brisés (abrégé unique pour plusieurs claviers), abrégé de pédale (les sommiers sont généralement disposés perpendiculairement à la façade, ce qui impose une forme particulière de l’abrégé), de positif dorsal (en raison de la disposition des soupapes à l’intérieur de la laie Accouplement.: MÉCANIQUE. Mécanisme au moyen duquel on fait agir ensemble deux ou plusieurs claviers, soit à l’unisson, soit à l’octave, permettant de jouer sur un clavier les jeux d’un autre clavier outre les siens propres. Jusqu’au début du XIXe siècle, les accouplements étaient «à tiroir» : le déplacement en profondeur de l’un des claviers mettait en correspondance des taquets. Depuis, les accouplements s’accomplissent par un système de leviers et de bascules, mis en branle par une pédale que l’organiste bloque à ses pieds. Acuta.................: TUYAUTERIE. -

Movie House Organ (music) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In music, the organ (from Greek ὄργανον organon, "organ, instrument, tool") is a keyboard instrument of one or more pipe divisions or other means for producing tones, each played with its own keyboard, played either with the hands on a keyboard or with the feet using pedals. The organ is a relatively old musical instrument, dating from the time of Ctesibius of Alexandria (285–222 BC), who invented the water organ. -

PHOENIX ORGANS . . . the Ultimate Designed and Developed by Organists
PHOENIX ORGANS . the ultimate Designed and developed by organists ... … for organists Introduction Most, if not all, pipe organ builders will endeavour to provide a bespoke organ. They have no such thing as a "standard range". Nor do we, because we believe that every installation is totally different, and requires the right instrument for the surroundings. The electronic organ industry has been trying for over thirty years to emulate as closely as possible the might and majesty of the "King of Instruments". The pipe organ gets this in part by being designed and adjusted tonally for the room in which it is to be installed. We feel the one thing that a lot of manufacturers have missed is that no two instruments of similar size, even from the same builder, can ever sound the same, and for a manufacturer to come along with Organ Model “A” or “B” or “C”, take it out of its box, plug it in, switch it on and say to the customer “There you are sir, your organ is installed” is not really good enough. Any organ requires detailed setting up, and the chances are that the factory setting is not correct for that particular acoustic. Equally, there is a very good chance that none of the standard models are totally suitable in any case. Old-world craftsmanship and the highest standards of excellence characterise the design and construction of our consoles, using traditional pipe organ components. Everything about a Phoenix Organ makes it authentic to its pipe organ counterpart. The sounds emanating from the instrument, along with the look and feel of the console, will convince you that you are playing a truly fine pipe organ, one that you will enjoy playing over and over again.
