Peterhouse 2011 | 5 Peterhouse Organ

Renovation There have been four organs in the Chapel at Peterhouse since it was built during the Mastership Dr Saskia Murk Jansen, Fellow and Director of Development, of Matthew Wren. The College accounts show that writes about a rare Cambridge organ. work was done in respect of an organ in the Chapel in November 1635, soon after John Cosin became Master. At about this time a small organ was given or lent to the College by Sir John and Lady Peyton, friends of the Master. It appears to have been used in the Chapel on a temporary basis until a permanent organ could be commissioned. There is some Latin verse dating from 1636 or 1637 by Richard Crashaw, a Fellow of Peterhouse, lamenting the unreliability of the chapel organ. It has been suggested that the poem may have been written at the request of the Master to help solicit funds for a new instrument. By 1638–9 sufficient funds had been raised and the organ appears to have been completed in the summer of 1639.

Both Matthew Wren and John Cosin were staunch allies of Archbishop Laud and the College was notorious among the Puritan faction for its ‘popish superstitious practices’, including the use of an organ. Nevertheless, the surviving Peterhouse partbooks are evidence that choral services using the organ flourished briefly before the Civil War (see the adjacent article). When the Puritans gained control, the organ and other chapel furnishings were hidden in the Library. The new Master, Lazarus Seaman, learned of this, ordered the Library to be searched and by 1653 the chapel organ pipes had been found and sold.

In 1660, at the time of the Restoration when Cosin had been re-instated as Master, the College tried to get the organ back but without success; and in 1666, with the help of a donation from John Ashburnham, the Fellows decided to buy a new instrument. This organ was built by one Thomas Thamer of Cambridge and was completed in March 1667. The organ that Thomas Thamer built for Winchester Cathedral was decorated with angels with articulated arms that allowed the organist to conduct the choir while accompanying the singers on the organ – as far as we know the Peterhouse organ was not felt to require such embellishments! The west end of Peterhouse Chapel showing the pipes and original casework of the Snetzler organ In 1765 Sir Horatio Mann, a Fellow Commoner of the College, donated a new organ for the Chapel built by John

Peterhouse 2011 | 6 The College asked for proposals from four of the leading organ builders of the day and chose Noel Mander, who was experienced in the restoration of old organs. His 1964 re-build of the Snetzler/Hill organ provided Cambridge with its first college organ with tracker action and pipe-work choruses capable of playing the organ repertoire in an “authentic” way. From 1964 to 1971 there was a series of well-attended recitals by distinguished organists from the UK and abroad. By 1971 other colleges were also having tracker action organs installed – either new (often by European builders) or re-built. Clare was the first after ours (1971); then Trinity (1975). By 2006 thirteen other colleges had also gone back to tracker action organs – most of them smaller than the ones that they replaced.

The work done by Mander has served The junior organ scholar, Andrei Lebed, at work the College well for almost 50 years but the organ is now starting to be somewhat unreliable, suffering from the ‘squeaks and Snetzler.

In 1956 he was appointed American Cultural Ambassador to Latin America by John Foster Dulles under President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration, visiting 21 Latin American countries in rapid succession. He was later to recall with some amusement how, after the tour, he was invited to a rather intimidating meeting in the State Department only to be told: “We called you here to tell you that you were the most successful ambassador the United States has ever had in South America.” He settled in Florence with his own studios in 1960. There are a number of his statues in public places in America and Europe most notably La Sirena in the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington. There is also a 16-ton granite The sculptures in the Scholars’ Garden shortly after their arrival statue by Puccinelli entitled Panther outside Hartnell College (formerly Salinas Junior College), California. Both sentinel and mascot, it is affectionately known as ‘Oscar’.

The three bronzes at Peterhouse are all from Puccinelli’s final period when he sculpted directly in plaster before having the work cast in bronze. He was to remark how carving and modelling the plaster directly enabled him to combine the qualities of stone, wood and plaster in a single work. “Because it doesn’t resemble stone or wood, but it has some of the qualities of carving wood in it, I feel. And sometimes a little of stone, but it’s all made into one.”

The three bronzes now in the Scholars’ Garden bear witness to Puccinelli’s success in using this method to capture a sense of movement and dance.

“The creation of a work of art is an outward act in the intellect’s search for the spirit whereby we recognize the spiritual reality of life. That which one creates is nothing less than the bridge between the external three-dimensional form and the inner infinity. For me the nakedness of a figure is not simply the conventional nakedness of the human body, it is a nakedness of body and spirit, the interpretation of the soul, which the artist makes visible by means of the body.” Raimondo Puccinelli
