  • RTOS Organ Specs As Built
    Rochester’s RKO Palace 4/21 Wurlitzer - Opus 1951 12/25/1928 Original specification by house organist Tom Grierson The instrument known today as the RTOS-GRIERSON 4/23 Wurlitzer began life as a 4-manual, 21-rank Special, Opus 1951. It was shipped from North Tonawanda on September 12, 1928 to the new 2916-seat Keith-Albee Palace Theatre (later renamed RKO Palace) on Clinton Avenue North at Mortimer Street in Rochester, NY. It was premiered on Christmas Day of that year by Rochester organist Tom Grierson who is said to have participated significantly in the specification of the instrument. Over the years Wurlitzer historians have often commented that Tom’s British roots are strongly reflected in its design. While Opus1951 is often said to be similar to a Publix #1, there were a number of differences. Besides having one more rank in the solo chamber and a 15 hp blower, other significant variations include: Main chamber: • The Tuba horn (16 ´ - 4 ´) was not placed in the main, but in the solo chamber instead. • The Dulciana and Solo String I ranks were not included in this instrument. • A 15” wp Gamba (16 ´ - 4 ´), Violin (8 ´ - 4 ´) and Violin Celeste (8 ´ - 4 ´ tc) were included. • The Diaphonic Diapason (16 ´ - 8 ´) is 73 notes and has no 4 ´ octave. Solo Chamber: • There was no Vox Humana in the solo. • There is a Horn Diapason (8 ´) in the solo • The Tuba Mirabilis is extended to 16 ´ (wood) Bombarde. • Piano, Sleigh Bells, Vibraphone mechanism and second Xylophone were not included. Console: • No “master” swell pedal.

Copyright © 2016 Allen Organ Company All Rights Reserved AOC P/N 033-00221-1 Revised 10/2016 ALLEN ORGAN COMPANY For more than sixty years--practically the entire history of electronic organs-- Allen Organ Company has built the finest organs that technology would allow. In 1939, Allen built and marketed the world’s first electronic oscillator organ. The tone generators for this instrument used two hundred forty-four vacuum tubes, contained about five thousand components, and weighed nearly three hundred pounds. Even with all this equipment, the specification included relatively few stops. By 1959, Allen had replaced vacuum tubes in oscillator organs with transistors. Thousands of transistorized instruments were built, including some of the largest, most sophisticated oscillator organs ever designed. Only a radical technological breakthrough could improve upon the performance of Allen’s oscillator organs. Such a breakthrough came in conjunction with the United States Space Program in the form of highly advanced digital microcircuits. In 1971, Allen produced and sold the world’s first musical instrument utilizing digitally sampled voices! Your organ is significantly advanced since the first generation Allen digital instrument.

  • ALEXANDER, JOHN DAVID, D.M.A. a Study of the Influence of Texts From
    ALEXANDER, JOHN DAVID, D.M.A. A Study of the Influence of Texts from the Liber Usualis on Three Improvised French Organ Works by Marcel Dupré, Charles Tournemire, and Olivier Latry. (2020) Directed by Welborn Young and André Lash. 82 pp. Improvisation has played a vital role in the French school of organ playing over the last several centuries, both in sacred and secular settings. Within the context of Catholic masses in France, the majority of the music played by the organists is improvisational. Much of the thematic material of these improvisations comes from the service music contained in the Liber Usualis. This document explores the treatment of these themes from the Liber Usualis, particularly focusing on the impact of the text of each chant on three works by Marcel Dupré, Charles Tournemire, and Olivier Latry, three of the leading improvisateurs of the twentieth and twenty-first century. Studying published reconstructions of their improvisations based on themes from the Liber Usualis gives insight into their respective improvisational languages and the affect created by a thorough knowledge of the text of each Liber Usualis theme used. Following an introduction, a chapter is dedicated to each composer and his work: Marcel Dupré’s Symphonie-Passion, Charles Tournemire’s Choral-Improvisation sur le ‘Victimae Paschali,’ and Olivier Latry’s Salve Regina. Each of these chapters contains brief biographical information about the composer, an overview of the instrument on which the original improvisation was performed, a description of each work, and how the chant is incorporated into each. The final chapter contains a comparison of the three works, reexamining the impact of the chant text on rhythm, registration, dynamics, form, and texture.

  • Pipes of the Past: Registration Practices of Selected Composers for the American Centennial Era Organ
    PIPES OF THE PAST: REGISTRATION PRACTICES OF SELECTED COMPOSERS FOR THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL ERA ORGAN By © 2019 Ian K. Classe M.M., Pittsburg State University, 2015 B.A., Truman State University, 2012 Submitted to the graduate degree program in the School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. Chair: Michael Bauer James Higdon Roberta Freund Schwartz Brad Osborn Susan Earle Date Defended: The dissertation committee for Ian K. Classe certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PIPES OF THE PAST: REGISTRATION PRACTICES OF SELECTED COMPOSERS FOR THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL ERA ORGAN Chair: Michael Bauer Date Approved: ii Abstract American organ music prior to the twentieth century is a somewhat neglected area of organ study due to biases of early-twentieth-century academia. This lecture seeks to better familiarize the audience with a small section of that neglected study by examining the relationship between the organs, composers, and compositions of the Centennial era (ca. 1870–1900) through the lens of organ registration. This particular period of nineteenth-century American music became the era when American composers developed a quintessentially American culture around the organ—a culture which would provide the foundation for much of what came after it. By examining this period and its contributions, we gain a better understanding of later musical developments in the organ world and an appreciation for what came before. iii Acknowledgements I would like to offer special thanks to Dr. Rosi Kaufman, Director of Music at Rainbow Mennonite Church, for her knowledge and assistance on this project as well as facilitating my use of the Hook organ for the lecture recital.
