To the casual observer the alphabetical ar- rangement of stop-names would seem doubtless to convey the impres- sion that yet a third dictionary of organ stops has been offered to the public. A closer scrutiny, however, should convince the reader that these pages do not seek to cover the same ground occupied by the ex- cellent treatises of W edgwood and of Audsley, but will, it is hoped, reveal the true aim and scope of the author.

Program Notes Symphony No. 3 – Aram Il'yich Khachaturian In November 1953, Aram Khachaturian acted on the encouraging signs of a cultural thaw following the death of Stalin six months earlier and wrote an article for the magazine Sovetskaya Muzika pleading for greater creative freedom. The way forward, he wrote, would have to be without the bureaucratic interference that had marred the creative efforts of previous years. How often in the past, he continues, 'have we listened to "monumental" works...that amounted to nothing but empty prattle by the composer, bolstered up by a contemporary theme announced in descriptive titles.' He was surely thinking of those countless odes to Stalin, Lenin and the Revolution, many of them subdivided into vividly worded sections; and in that respect Khachaturian had been no less guilty than most of his contemporaries.

He left for Ltlbeck in November and did not return until Febmaiy, at which time he was rebuked by the Amstadt Consistory 0. Ach Herr, mich armen Sunder, BWV 742 Johann Sebastian Bach for his prolonged absence, and also for his improper playing, making "curious 3. Jesu meine Freude, BWV 1105 (from the Neumeister Collection) variationes in the chorale" so that the congregation was confused by it. Bach's organ playing had clearly changed as a result of his time in Lilbeck, and his early organ Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 722 Johann Sebastian Bach works testify to his study of music in the north German style, with virtuosic (from the Amstadt Congregational Chorales) figuration, important pedal solos, and the altemation of improvisatory and contrapuntal sections. In addition, he was also very influenced by Italian and French organists, such as Frescobaldi and Grigny. In today's program, we'll trace the Ciacona in E Minor, BuxWV 159 Dieterich Buxtehude different paths Bach travelled in developing his own highly personal approach to Canzonetta in G Major, BuxWV 171 (1637-1707) organ composition.

  • Organs: Technology and Technique for LDS Organists
    Understanding and Mastering Pipe (and Electric) Organs: Technology and Technique for LDS Organists by Irvin T. Nelson Copyright 2001, 2006, 2009 by Irvin T. Nelson 225 N. 100 E., Smithfield, UT 84335 Making unaltered copies for non-commercial use is permitted. All other rights reserved. This and other materials may be downloaded free at: www.irvnelsonmusic.com Draft 2.1; January 1, 2009 Preface The pipe organ is the fundamental musical instrument of the Church. No other instrument can even begin to match its utility and power for accompanying the Hymns of the Restoration. A well-played organ enables and assists the Spirit in touching the hearts of the Saints. There is a shortage of qualified, trained organists in the Church, and this scarcity appears to be growing. Nearly all LDS chapels have organs, many of which are of reasonably good quality, and a precious few of which are real pipe organs. However, in many wards, there are few or no qualified organists who have been trained to get the most out of these marvelous instruments. It is a tragic waste when a very expensive pipe organ is underutilized simply because the organist doesn’t know what the buttons, levers, and knobs do, and how to get a good sound for a particular hymn. Similarly, the electric organ, which is a fine instrument in its own right, is often underutilized for the same reason. This manuscript is written for pianists who want to learn the organ. Without information and training, even excellent pianists are sometimes poor organists. This is not due to a lack of talent, but simply because of the following three factors: 1.

    Musical Instruments U03424: PHY-3-MusInst COURSE INFORMATION 2009/10 Level: SCQF Level 10 Credits: 20 points Times and places: Semester 1, M 1110-1300, JCMB Room 4310; Th 1110-1300 St Cecilia’s Hall (Presentations), visits as arranged. Prerequisites: Musical Acoustics or Introductory Musical Acoustics. Short description: One half of the course reviews the current understanding of the physics of musical instruments and explores the relationship between theory and practice in musi- cal instrument construction and performance. Six lectures on the acoustics of strings, brass, woodwind, pipe organs, percussion and electronic instruments are followed by a series of seminars in which students present the results of their research on prescribed topics in mu- sical instrument acoustics. The other half of the course consists of a number of visits to musical instrument craftsmen and musical instrument collections, each followed by a work- shop in which students carry out and report on a group project involving the study of musical instrument acoustics. Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course it is intended that a student will be able to: 1. explain basic operating principles of: (a) stringed instruments; review theories of the bow-string interaction; explain the significance of vibration modes of a stringed instrument body; (b) brass instruments; review theories of the lip reed; explain the influence of bore profile on the modes of vibration of a brass instrument; (c) woodwind instruments; describe the sound

The fact that the frequency of open and closed flue organ pipes is affected by a change in wind pressure has been known for some time. Explanations for this change in frequency, however, have been uncertain. Little information is available regarding the quantitative differences existing between pres- sure changes and the resulting alterations in frequency. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of wind pressure on the frequency of open and closed flue organ pipes. RWfim OF LITSHATOHK How a jet of air maintains the vibrations in the column of air in a flue pipe was investigated by rfeber and Weber as early as 1826, according to Jones (11). Their idea was that the first puff of wind from the windway starts a wave which travels up and down the body of the pipe.
