Alcorn-Oppedahl, B.Mus., M.M. Denton, Texas August, 1997 CR Alcorn-Oppedahl, Allison Ann, Mail Order Music: the Hinners Organ Company in the Dakotas. 1879-1936. Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), August, 1997, 559 pp., 6 tables, 2 maps, 173 plates, references, 266 titles. Founded in 1879 by John L. Hinners, the Hinners Organ Company developed a number of stock models of small mechanical-action instruments that were advertised throughout the Midwest. Operating without outside salesmen, the company was one of the first to conduct all of its affairs by mail, including the financial arrangements, selection of the basic design, and custom alterations where required. Buyers first met a company representative when he arrived by train to set up the crated instrument that had been shipped ahead of him. Tracker organs with hand-operated bellows were easily repaired by local craftsmen, and were suited to an area that, for the most part, lacked electricity. In all, tl e company constructed nearly three thousand pipe organs during its sixty years of open tion. Rapid decline of the firm began in the decade prior to 1936 during which the company sold fewer than one hundred instruments, and closed in that year when John's son Arthur found himself without sufficient financial resources to- weather the length; depression. The studies of the original-condition Hinners organs in the Dakotas include extensive photograjphs and measurements, and provide an excellent cross section of the smaller instruments produced by the company. They are loud, excellently crafted, functionally attractive, tonally typical of the early twentieth-century American Romantic organ, and utilize designs and materials typical of this era. Only recently has it been acknowledged that these Hinners organs represent a "meat and potatoes" class of instrument, as it were, an honest meal without the pretense of delicate appetizers, vintage wine, and gourmet dessert. In this way the company offered churches a serviceable and respectable musical alternative to grandeur, and was able to fulfill the needs and meet the budget of a small congregation without the expense of a custom instrument. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge the Organ Historical Society and the P.E.O. International Sisterhood for their financial assistance. My appreciation goes to Stephen and Melissa Alcorn for their help with photography equipment and photographic reproductions; to Mark Alcorn for assistance with research in Erie, Pennsylvania; to Jenny Taylor, Dordt College, for designing the schematics; to Lance Johnson, Mike Johnson, Art Aadland, Howard Nolte, and Mike Nelson for helping with measurements; to the research staffs of the American Organ Archives, the Newberry Library, the Pekin Public Library, the Tazewell County Geneological Society, and the Illinois Regional Archives Depositories for their generous service during my visits; to John and Linda Hinners for their hospitality and gracious assistance; to Cecil Adkins for his scholarly advice and personal support; to Richard and Annette Oppedahl and Wallace and Ann Alcorn, and to David, Willson, and Kiersten Oppedahl. 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION 14 CHAPTER II: THE HINNERS FAMILY 44 CHAPTER III: HISTORY OF THE HINNERS ORGAN COMPANY 79 CHAPTER IV: ORGANS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION 155 CHAPTER V: THE FIRST DAKOTA HINNERS 299 CHAPTER VI: REBUILT AND LOST DAKOTA HINNERS 343 CHAPTER VII: CONCLUSION 360 APPENDIX A: HINNERS FAMILY TREE 366 APPENDIX B: HINNERS ORGAN COMPANY 1904 REED ORGAN CATALOG 369 APPENDIX C: HINNERS & ALBERTSEN 1895 REED ORGAN CATALOG .... 375 I APPENDIX D: HINNERS ORGAN COMPANY FUNERAL HOME ORGAN CATALOG 403 APPENDIX E: SPECIFICATION LISTS AND ANALYSIS 408 APPENDIX F: REED ORGAN PRICE LIST 461 APPENDIX G: "THE EVOLUTION OF THE PIPE ORGAN," THE SCRIPT OF A TALK GIVEN BY A.

  • Allen Organ Technology
    Perfection Sound | Technology | Sustainability An Allen Organ offers perfection throughout. This begins with the finest pipe organ sounds and masterful build quality, and flows into all aspects of the instrument. The Art of Organ Building – “To my eyes and ears the organ will ever be the King of Instruments.” Majestic Sound – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Allen Organs Sound Better Superior organ sound comes from a combination of advanced technology and years of artistic experience sampling pipe organs. Throughout history the organ has been a remarkable combination of technology and traditional music. With hundreds of pipes, early pipe organs were the most advanced products in a community. Modern electronics have enabled the production of pipe organ sound without requiring pipes. Today’s finest digital instruments reproduce the grandeur of pipe organs, at significantly lower costs. Allen’s 7th-generation GeniSys™ technology includes dozens of advanced Digital Signal Processors working in parallel, supercomputer power, offering the most realistic pipe organ sound available from a digital organ. Coupled with a two-decade lead in digital sampling experience over other digital organ builders, Allen Organ Company is the acknowledged leader. Pipe Organ Sound Reproducing realistic pipe organ sound requires advanced technology. Allen’s technology is proven weekly through its many combination organs that include both digital voices and windblown pipes played in the same building. Proof statement: Listeners have difficulty determining the source of the sounds. A recent Allen combination organ installation in Stockholm, Sweden, is an example comparing, in real-time, Allen’s digitally produced voices alongside of windblown pipes.

  • Stockhausen Concerts and Classes for Clarinettists and Others. Clarinettists Have Reason to Be Very Happy with the Development
    Stockhausen concerts and classes for clarinettists and others. Clarinettists have reason to be very happy with the development of their repertoire in de 20th century, as it had a previously unseen growth. One of the main figures of post war new music has been Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007). This often controversial composer has enriched clarinet literature with an unprecedented number of works for clarinet, bassethorn and bass clarinet, especially after 1974. These sometimes demanding pieces, often with theatrical elements, require a specific approach and way of playing, easily underestimated. Stockhausen was well aware of this and started coaching a new generation of players in the 1980’s, in order to pass this tradition of interpretation on to others. In spite of Stockhausen’s compositions having the reputation of being difficult and intellectual (if not quasi-religious), to play, watch and listen to them is generally great fun, and very satisfying to work on - if done well. Because the music calls on many apects of performing (e.g. fysical and mental attitude on stage, memory, presentation, awareness of the structure of the music, disciplin) the leaning process has a beneficial influence on performing traditional music too. This series of concerts and courses offers the possibility to watch, listen, study and rehearse a number of Stockhausen’s works with Michel Marang, a clarinettist who worked with the composer since 1986 and performed his music hundreds of times worldwide. The course can have the character of an introductory lecture and concert, but eventually may result in seminars over a longer stretch of time, as much as needed to bring specific works on concert level.

  • Brass Instruments
    Course Content - Brass Instruments Introduction to Brass Instruments • Instruments are considered to belong in the Brass family if they make their sounds because of vibrations from the mouth and a mouthpiece. • Brass instruments are not necessarily made of brass. For example, the Digeridoo is a brass instrument made of wood. • The shape of the tube in a brass instrument is called a bore. The size and shape of the bore creates the sound of the instrument. • There are two shapes of bores: Cylindrical and Conical. • A Cylindrical bore stays the same width from beginning to end. A Conical bore gets wider as it progresses. • The very end of a brass instrument is called the Bell. • The two brass families are the Valved and Slide families. The only instrument in the slide family is the Trombone. • Valves on brass instruments are used to change the note by changing the size or length of the tube. Large and Medium Sized Brass Instruments • The largest instrument in the brass family is the Tuba. It plays the lowest notes. • The Sousaphone was invented to replace the Tuba in a marching band. It is designed to be carried. • Sousaphones are often made of lightweight fiberglass. • One of the oldest brass instruments is the Trombone. The slide of the trombone controls the notes instead of valves. • The French horn is the only brass instrument that is played left-handed.

  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba
    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.
