THE BOSTON ORGAN CLUB NEVISLETTER Vol. 6, No. 1, Whole THE BOSTON ORGAN CLUB NEVISLETTER Vol. 6, No. 1, Whole No. 51 January 1970 MIXTURES - The two-manual 1870 Erben organ mentioned on page 1 of the December Newsletter was rescued by 1~chael E. Roy, a high school student who resides in Auburn, Malne. Mr. Roy is a young organ enthusiast who plans to renovate the instrument and add a few stops. The three-manual 1869 Erben in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Concep­ tion, Portland, Haine, described in the Newsletter for September, 1967, has been removed while the interior of the Cathedral is being renovated. The organ is to be rebuilt by a local "builder," and the century-old slider chests recently received the "chain saw treatment .n 1970 is the centennial year of the splendid three-manual E. & G. G. Hook organ in the Unitarian Church, Woburn, Mass. This spring, the Newsletter will publish the original contract and other material contemporary with 'the building of the organ, which was "openedtt on January 4, 1871. At 7 p.m., Sunday, May 3, Miss Irene Dorner, organist of the church and Hr. Richard Hedgebeth will present the first recital celebrating the anniversary, which is under the direction of the cordial custodian of the organ, }~. Charles Smith of Woburn. The amount of baloney regarding organs found in non-organ publications would surely fill every market in Boston for a decade. This example is from a 1969 International Business Machines Corporation brochure: The great organ in the historic cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, France now incorporates IBM relays to help enhance the majestic sounds which flood from its 6,ooo pipes. The organ1s formidable array of stops and pedalboards not only demands skilled accomplishment to play, but until modernization, called for strenu­ ous physical effort by the organist. Im-r wire contact relays make playing this great organ much less difficult now. By adding a control console containing a battery of 3, 000 IBM relays, it was possible to increase the number of organ stops from 104 to 130, while decreasing the effort involved in manipulation. The mechanism enables the organist to switch combinations of stops auto­ matically while playing. The relays permit pre-selection and stop storing, enabling the grand organ to smoothly shift complex tones from reed-like quality to full-throated crescendo. Up to fifty different stop combinations are possible during the rendition of a single organ pe:dormance. The French technicians supervising the organ modernization project studied a variety of switching control products before selecting the IB~1 wire contact relay. It was chosen principally because of proven high reliability and compact, space-saving design. · Our apologies Mr. Fonterieau - that there should be such a console in Parisl Recent old tracker organs found: J. H. & C. S. Odell 2-13, Opus 361, 1899, in the Church of the Good Shepherd, Episcopal, Newburgh, N.Y.; Geo. Jardine & Son 2-25, Opus 1046, 1890, rebuilt by M. P. Moller as Opus 1625, c.l913, with detached Pedal towers, in st. Francis of Assisi R·.c. Church, Newburgh, N.Y.; Reuben Midmer & Son J.-7, c.l903, in Tomkins Memorial Church, Tomkins Cove, N.Y.; and J. H. & c. s. Odell 2m, Opus 249, 1888, in the Church of the Holy Communion, Episcopal, NorV~ood, N.J. The Ne·wsletter is published monthly by The Boston Organ Club, 33 Bowdoin Street, Roston, Massachusetts, 02114. Editor: E. A. Boadway, 335 Court Street, Keene, New Hampshire, 03431; telephone Area 603, 357-0999 (weekends). Meetings are usually held on the last Sunday afternoon of each month. ~;Iembership: $5.00 per year. January 1970 Page 2 STEER & TURNER - THE VfESTFIELD YEARS, 1867-1880 -- An account by E. A. Boadway, taken principally from newspapers of the period. ~ VI Another disaster came to the firm, and the Times and Newsletter for Wednesday, March 27, 1878, describes the scope of the fire and the size of the building: Destructive Fire. The fire king is wielding his sceptre with a mighty power of late in this town, and seems bent on measuring swords with the water king. On Wednesday evening of last week, Steer & TUrner's organ factory was lapped up by the hun­ gry flames, despite the concentrated power of Nontgomery water dextrously handled by our efficient firemen. It took the best of skill and management on the part of the fire department to save adjoining property. It seemed inevitable at one time that Meadow street must fall a victim to the devouring element. The effective work done and the property saved on this occasion, furnished another convincing proof of the value and potency of the water works, skillfully manipulated by experienced men, such as compose our fire department. The building burned was extensive and combustible to a degree hardly real~ ized by the uninitiated. It was built in 1871, and combined 200,000 feet of lumber; 61,000 feet of spruce in floors; 64,000 feet of pine timber in frame; 15,000 feet of pine in sheathing; it took 65,000 shingles to cover it; there were 153 windows in it; it contained 64,000 bricks, and cost $11,000. These figures will suffice to give some idea of the extent and magnitude of the building, as well as the great heat its burning must have produced. The loss on the building was estimated at $7500, of which $6000 was covered by insur­ ance in the following companies:- Queen's, Royal Canadian, Irving of New York, Merchants 1 of Providence, People r s of Trenton, Western of Toronto. The owners of the building are Edwin Smith, Henry Loomis, H. B. Smith, W. H. Foote, and M. B. Whitney. S. N. Lewis is a heavy loser, as he held a mortgage on all the stock, tools and machinery, which were used by Steer & Turner, amounting in value to about $9000, on which he held only $1000 insurance in the l~estchester of New York. A total of 17 hands were employed, most of whom lose all their tools. Steer & Turner have commenced work temporarily in the old American whip factory on ~.~echanic street. The other losers by the fire are H. c. Shute, fancy wood turner, who loses about $3000, and the Westfield collar box company, which loses about $200 in lumber. ~~. Shute had an insurance of $1400, divided equally between the Con­ tinental of New York and the Etna of Hartford. The total loss by the fire approximates $20,000. The firemen worked with characteristic energy, and were refreshed by hot coffee, generously and thoughtfully provided by Hrs. Foster, of the Foster house, for which the boys are heartily grateful, and they desire us to accept the diplomatic mission of bearing to the good landlady of the Canada hotel their sentiments of gratitude, and we hereby accept the pleasant mission. On April 3, the paper reported that nrt turns out that the $1000 insurance which S. N. Lewis supposed he held on the property destroyed by the recent fire, is not his at all, but Steer & Turner 1 s.n On the list of "Heavy Tax-Payerstt published on August 21, Jtrs. W. A. Johnson paid ~83 and Johnson & Son paid $109, but Steer & Turner are not listed. The end of 1878 brought yet another troublesome period for the organ builders. The Times and Newsletter of December 11 describes a "TERRIBLE CALAHITYtt -- a flood of the Great River which did $500,000 damage to half of the town and altered the bed of the river. The only mention of Steer & Turner is "··· Beyond this new river are the ruins of Steer & Turner r s organ factory, •• ·" Perhaps an examination of the city records would reveal whether or not the firm erected a new building following the March 20 fire. On December 18 the paper reports that "Steer & Turner are already moving into the old American whip factory on Mechanic January 1970 Page 3 street. 11 The following paragraph apPears in the same issue: Steer & Turner are full of the grief of misfortunes. They have been burned out clean twice, severly scorched once, besides being twice drowned out. They seem to have as many lives as a cat, and a "singed cat" at that. They lose some $6000 or $8000 by the catastrophe. They had a contract for a large organ for the Catholic church in Washington, D.C., which was to be done in March, besides other work in hand and prospective. In 1879, L. H. Everts of Philadelphia published a two-volume History of the Connecticut Valley in ~1assachusetts, and organs are mentioned on page 2sr-of Vol. II: Church Organs. Westfield enjoys distinction as a place where some of the finest and largest church organs are manufactured. Specimens of the product in this direction may be seen in many magnificent churches, and it is believed to be generally under­ stood that Westfield church organs rank with the best manufactures. Johnson & Son and Steer & Turner are engaged in this department of manufacture in which about 100 persons are employed, and a capital of $100,000 to $150,000 invested. Johnson & Son occupy a commodious manufactory on the Westfield River, in l.Jifest­ field Village, and, nearby, Steer & Turner carried on thEidr enterprise until their works were utterly swept away by the flood of Dece·mber, 1878. They are nm"'- (1879) located on Mechanics [sic] Street. On .January 22, 1879, the Times and Newsletter says: --Steer & Turner, who have encountered wind, water and fire by the wholesale, are still at it and are full of business. They now have in the works an organ for the church of the Imnaculate Conception, at 1Nashington, D.C., another for the M.E.

  • 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.

  • Oboe in Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 OboeinOxfordMusicOnline Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Oboe article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/40450 Oboe (Fr. hautbois ; Ger. Oboe ; It. oboe ). Generic term in the system of Hornbostel and Sachs for an aerophone with a double (concussion) reed (for detailed classification see AEROPHONE ). The name is taken from that of the principal treble double-reed instrument of Western art music (see §II below). I. General 1. Oboes. The AULOS of ancient Greece may sometimes have had a double reed, and some kind of reed aerophone was known in North Africa in pre-Islamic times. Instruments of the SURNĀY type became established with the spread of the Arab empire around the end of the first millennium CE; they were possibly a synthesis of types from Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria and Asia Minor. From there the instrument, then used in a military role, spread into conquered areas and areas of influence: to India, and later, under the Ottoman empire, to Europe (around the time of the fifth crusade, 1217–21; there may already have been bagpipes with double reeds there) and further into Asia (to China in the 14th century). As the instrument spread, it came to be made of local materials and fashioned according to local preferences in usage, shape and decoration: the ŚAHNĀĪ of north India has a flared brass bell; the SARUNAI of Sumatra has a palm leaf reed and a bell of wood or buffalo horn; the ALGAITA of West Africa is covered with leather and has four or five finger-holes.

De groep is in feite veel groter en ook gevarieerder dan die van de fluitinstrumenten. In akoestisch opzicht hebben we te maken met (1) excitatie via het riet; (2) de resonanties van de open buis; en (3) de resonanties van de halfgesloten buis. Van deze drie aspecten zijn het tweede en het derde al behandeld in relatie met de fluitinstrumenten (§7.2 en §7.3). In dit hoofdstuk zal nog worden ingegaan op het riet (§8.2). Rietinstrumenten hebben twee basiskenmerken voor de onderverdeling. In de eerste plaats of het gaat om een enkel riet of een dubbel riet, in de tweede plaats of de buis cilindrisch is of conisch uitlopend. Om de meest voorkomende rietinstrumenten te plaatsen in deze dichotomieën gelden de volgende regels: hobo’s en fagotten zijn dubbelrietinstrumenten met een conisch uitlopende buis, kromhoorns zijn cilindrische dubbel- rietinstrumenten. Klarinetten zijn enkelrietinstrumenten met een cilindrische buis, saxofoons enkelriet- instrumenten met een conisch uitlopende buis. Het uiteinde van de buis van het instrument aan de “rietzijde”, het nabije einde, geldt in beginsel als een gesloten einde, omdat het rietmechanisme daar luchtdrukvariaties opbouwt.

The wind- chests and nearly all pipes in the manual divisions are original. The Pedal was enlarged in 1935 by Hugo Distler, and since the most recent refurbishing (Hillebrand 1977/78) the organ has contained 31 stops over three manuals and ORGAN pedal. It is in the old choir pitch (Chorton) and tuned to the Werckmeister tem- perament. All the pipes are metal, and additions or expansions have precisely followed the historical alloy composition and scaling. Walcha’s recordings there in 1947 were the first to be made for the Archiv Produktion label. (See cover photo on CD 106–125.)
