It comprises an historic overview, a survey the organ, a report of existing conditions, and recommendations for the immediate care and ultimate restoration of the Sinclair Auditorium organ. To prepare this document, Jeff Weiler and Jonathan Ambrosino spent August 6 to August 10, and the morning of August 11: • playing the organ, inspecting the pipework, surveying mechanism and photo- The organ contains thousands of pipes, most of metal but documenting conditions; some of wood. These are in the Swell organ. • opening up windchests to determine the state of the internal leather; • creating an inventory of pipes stored in the basement; • removing the non-original Great Trumpet and reinstating the original First Open Diapason, formerly stored in the basement (the Trumpet stop was put into a storage box and arrayed in the basement storage area); • through-tuning all 57 ranks; • meeting with Brett Wolgast, Bill Carson and Dick Harmon to discuss the organ’s history, present and future. This document is a prolonged snapshot of the organ over a week’s visit. Our impressions here blend with experience from other Skinner organs to appreciate and describe its present condition.

    Organ Registration: The Organist’s Palette—An Orchestra at Your Fingertips By Dr. Bradley Hunter Welch I. Basic Review of Organ Tone (see www.organstops.org for reference) A. Two types of tone—flue & reed 1. Flue a. Principals (“Principal, Diapason, Montre, Octave, Super Octave, Fifteenth”) & Mixtures b. Flutes (any name containing “flute” or “flöte” or “flauto” as well as “Bourdon, Gedeckt, Nachthorn, Quintaton”) c. Strings (“Viole de Gambe, Viole Celeste, Voix Celeste, Violone, Gamba”) 2. Reed (“Trompette, Hautbois [Oboe], Clarion, Fagotto [Basson], Bombarde, Posaune [Trombone], English Horn, Krummhorn, Clarinet”, etc.) a. Conical reeds i. “Chorus” reeds—Trompette, Bombarde, Clarion, Hautbois ii. Orchestral, “imitative” reeds—English Horn, French Horn b. Cylindrical reeds (very prominent even-numbered overtones) i. Baroque, “color” reeds— Cromorne, Dulzian, some ex. of Schalmei (can also be conical) ii. Orchestral, “imitative” reeds—Clarinet (or Cor di Bassetto or Basset Horn) Listen to pipes in the bottom range and try to hear harmonic development. Begin by hearing the prominent 2nd overtone of the Cromorne 8' (overtone at 2 2/3' pitch); then hear 4th overtone (at 1 3/5'). B. Pitch name on stop indicates “speaking” length of the pipe played by low C on that rank II. Scaling A. Differences in scale among families of organ tone 1. Flutes are broadest scale (similar to “oo” or “oh” vowel) 2. Principals are in the middle—narrower than flutes (similar to “ah” vowel) 3. Strings are narrowest scale (similar to “ee” vowel) B. Differences in scale according to era of organ construction 1. In general, organs built in early 20th century (1920s-1940s): principals and flutes are broad in scale (darker, fuller sound), and strings tend to be very thin, keen.

  • 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.
