  • GERMAN ORGAN MUSIC Volume 1 Fischer Praetorius Bohm Scheidemann and Others Joseph Payne, Organ GERMAN ORGAN MUSIC VOLUME 1
    8.550964 GERMAN ORGAN MUSIC Volume 1 Fischer Praetorius Bohm Scheidemann and others Joseph Payne, Organ GERMAN ORGAN MUSIC VOLUME 1 Organ music of the German-speaking countries is vast and varied, and more than anywhere else in Europe, it reached considerable complexity by the early 15th century. This repertory reflects the complex development of large, fixed organs, about which few generalizations can be made, as well as the more uniform evolution of smaller forms of organs. Among these was the portative, a small portable organ blown by a pair of bellows operated by one of the player's hands. Capable of performing only one part, this was a "monophonic" instrument used mainly in ensembles with other instruments and singers in the performance of polyphonic music. Somewhat larger and more or less stationary was the positive. It employed bellows that were operated by a second person, enabling the organist to use both hands so that several notes might be played simultaneously on a chromatic keyboard. Both these smaller types of organ employed flue pipes, while reed pipes were used in a third type, the regal. (There are many depictions of these small organs; a famous one can be found on the altar painting by Jan van Eyck at St. Bavo in Ghent). Towards the end of the Middle Ages, many tonal and mechanical features of the smaller organs were incorporated into the resources of the full-sized church Orgelwerk. This was a decisive step towards the modern organ: the organ came to be regarded as a composite of several instruments of various capabilities and functions, its resources controlled from several different keyboards.

  • 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.
