  • From Basement to Barcheston Paul Hale

    From Basement to Barcheston Paul Hale

    something old, something new FROM BASEMENT TO BARCHESTON Paul Hale This is the story of the organ now to be found in the delightful Warwickshire church at Barcheston. It begins in 1973, when Longstaff & Jones (Telford-based organ-builders and maintainers) advertised in the organ press that they would like to build a new, small pipe organ. Geoffrey Holroyde had yearned for some time for a small house organ for regular practice, so Longstaff & Jones were soon engaged to build for him a compact instrument, using direct-electric action. The successful design consisted of four ranks of pipes (and a quiet electronic pedal Bourdon) providing two manuals and pedals, with no couplers thereby avoiding too much extension with its attendant ‘missing notes’. Tickell case design for Barcheston The carefully chosen vintage ranks of pipes were: A Wooden stopped Gedackt 8ft extended to 4ft 68 pipes B Open metal (stopped from TC down) 8ft 56 pipes C Smaller scale open metal 4ft extended to 2ft 68 pipes D Oboe (for the Pedal Organ) 8ft 30 pipes Specification: Lower manual B8ft A8ft C4ft A4ft C2ft Upper manual C8ft (bottom octave from B) A8ft C4ft A4ft Barcheston Church looking East Pedal 16ft D8ft B8ft A8ft B4ft A4ft C2ft 48 • March 2020 something old, something new The opening recital in Geoffrey’s house was given by the youthful Edward Higginbottom, who before Cambridge had played for Geoffrey’s flourishing choir at St Mary’s Collegiate Church, Warwick. In 1979, Geoffrey and his, by then, large family moved to a spacious Victorian four-storey house.

    Tracing Seven Hundred Years of Organ Registration 1300 – Present ---SCW (2010)

    Tracing Seven Hundred Years of Organ Registration 1300 – Present ---SCW (2010) . portions used for ALCM Conference workshop, “This, That, Neither, or Both,” June 2012, Bethlehem, PA, So, this all started when a student asked me questions about Spanish music about which I had not a clue . just think what would happen if they asked me about something really complicated!! _________________ 12 th century Theophilus, a monk, documented an organ that contained an ensemble of pipes speaking in octaves and fifths known as a Blockwerk , literally a ‘block of sound’ from which individual ranks could not be separated. 14 th and 15 th centuries – Late Medieval Organs Multiple manuals and split-chest systems enabled separating the Principal ranks from the higher Mixture sounds. By the 14 th century, there were pedals, fully chromatic keyboards, and tripartite façade arrangements accommodating large ‘bourdon’ or ‘tenor’ pipes. By the 2 nd half of the 14 th century, there was the addition of secondary manual and pedals on separate actions and wind chests. For organs built c. 1350-1400 (which can be translated to modern organs): >simple organ would be a Blockwerk of Mixtures, probably based on 4-foot pitch >double organ would add an octave lower at 8-foot pitch >RH would probably feature a decorative treble voice on the Blockwerk sound, while the LH on the ten lowest keys would sound the tenor on sustained Principals >the organ could be played so that only the ten tenor keys of the main manual were doubled an octave lower >4-foot Principal stops on a separate manual is an option >8-foot plenum for the tenor on one keyboard with other voices on the 4’ plenum Organ built in 1361, renovated in 1498, described by Praetorius: >two upper manuals were called Diskant with 22-note chromatic compass >third manual or Bassklavier had 12 keys from B to b >pedal had the same one-octave compass The Principal chorus of inseparable registers is the most heavily documented type of late- medieval organ.

    A History of the Organs at the Church of St. Luke & The

    A HISTORY OF THE ORGANS AT THE CHURCH OF ST. LUKE & THE EPIPHANY Organs at St. Luke's Church The first organ for St. Luke's Church was built in 1840 by E. & G. G. Hook of Boston. It had 3 manuals (keyboards) and pedals. The full organ comprised of 29 and a half stops, 1,552 pipes and was at the time noted to be one of the best church organs in Philadelphia. It was well received by visiting organists of the city. The Stoplist was as follows (1): Great: Great Open Diapason Second Open Diapason Stopped Diapason 8 Principal Night horn Twelfth Fifteenth Sesquiatera III Trumpet Clarion Swell: Open Diapason Stopped Diapason Clarabella Principal Fifteenth Piccolo Trumpet Clarionet Haubois (Oboe) Tremulant Choir: Open Diapason Stopped Diapason Dulciana Principal Flute Fifteenth Cremona Later on the organ started having trouble and eventually was replaced in 1877. The new organ was built by E. & G. G. Hook & Hastings of Boston. Since the first organ was built, the company changed its name. The older Hook organ was traded in as part of the payment towards the new organ. There is a possibility that Hook & Hastings used some of the pipework from the previous organ but that can not be verified. That organ was of larger size with 51 stops. The stoplist was as follows: (2) Great: Open Diapason 16 Open Diapason 8 Viola di Gamba 8 Gemshorn 8 Dolce 8 Clarabella 8 Doppel Flute 8 Octave 4 Flute Harmonique 4 Twelfth 2 2/3 Fifteenth 2 Mixture V Trumpet 8 Clarion 4 Swell: Bourdon 16 Open Diapason 8 Salicional 8 Spitz Floete 8 Aeoline 8 Stopped Diapason 8 Flauto Traverso 4 Violina 4 Flageolette 2 Dolce Cornet III Cornopean 8 Oboe 8 Choir: Geigen Principal 8 Dulciana 8 Stopped Diapason 8 Melodia 8 Flute d' Amour 4 Fugara 4 Piccolo 2 Clarinet 8 Orchestral Oboe 8 Pedal: Contra Bourdon 32 Open Diapason 16 Bourdon 16 Dulciana 16 Quint 10 2/3 Octave 8 Violincello 8 Super Octave 4 Organs at The Church of The Epiphany Between 1835 and 1882 The Church of The Epiphany went through three pipe organs.

I'd been in and around Munich during my very first visit to Europe back about1970, and even had a chance to play the old organ (since replaced) in Benediktbeuron. This was a revelation to a young student who had never before laid hands on an old keyboard, nor thought about how one must phrase and the tempos one must adopt when playing into a voluminous room with a lengthy acoustic decay.

Although most of these organs have long since undergone numerous alterations, they nevertheless disclose much of the world of the organ builders of that past age. Such disclosures, however, form only a part of what may be learned of Baroque organ build­ ing. The processes, the concepts, the ideas, and ideals which led ultimately to the finished product may be known more fully by an examination of the contemporaneous treatises on organ building.
