She's the very last of her family. A few of her ancestors were blessed (or cursed) with special gifts.

Book excerpt: For centuries, pipe organs stood at the summit of musical and technological achievement, admired as the most complex and intricate mechanisms the human race had yet devised. In All The Stops, New York Times journalist Craig Whitney journeys through the history of the American pipe organ and brings to life the curious characters who have devoted their lives to its music. From the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, organ music was wildly popular in America. Organ builders in New York and New England could hardly fill the huge demand for both concert hall and home organs. Master organbuilders found ingenious ways of using electricity to make them sound like orchestras. Organ players developed cult followings and bitter rivalries. One movement arose to restore to American organs the clarity and precision that baroque organs had in centuries past, while another took electronic organs to the rock concert halls, where younger listeners could be found. But while organbuilders and organists were fighting with each other, popular audiences lost interest in the organ. Today, organs are beginning to make a comeback in concert halls and churches across America. Craig Whitney brings the story to life and up to date in a humorous, engaging book about the instruments and vivid personalities that inspired his lifelong passion: the great art of the majestic pipe organ.

Download or read book Opus 28 Emily written by Miriam Zach and published by Obvious Press. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pipe organ Op. 28, Emily, was designed and built by A. David Moore of Pomfret, Vermont, assisted by Thomas Bowen, John Atwood, and Thaddeus Stamps. Commissioned by Miriam Zach, Mikesch Mücke, and Margaret Zach for the International Women Composers Library in August 2004, it was installed in July 2005 in Gainesville, Florida. The clarity and subtle beauty of the sound of the pipes of Op. 28, its lovely solid wood-carved case-work with bench, and direct precise key action all contribute to the aesthetic pleasure and salubrious experience of the organist and listeners alike in an innovative design. The book chronicles the installation of the pipe organ in Gainesville, Florida. Op. 28 is made completely of natural solid wood (no plywood) with beautiful joinery and creative care in details. Black Cherry, Butternut, and Ash came from A. David Moore's forest in Vermont. He and his colleagues cut trees and ran them through the saw-mill on his property. The intricate case carving and bench are Black Cherry. The case and front pipes are Butternut. Pedal pipes are Ash. A few wooden parts come from other regions. Close-Grain Oak in pipe caps comes from Germany. Toeboards are Western Red Cedar. Sharps and stop knobs are made of Rosewood. Bench height adjustment blocks are Black Cherry. There are no metal pipes. The only metal parts are copper tubing connecting the pedal windchest and pedal pipes, lead pedal tuners, and pedal-to-valve connection rods. A mixture of 75% linseed oil plus 25% mineral spirits cares for the wood. The action is direct, i.e. the keyboard is suspended at the tail of the keys that push stickers down to open the valves in the chest. Pedals are square with a roller board and pull directly. There is no coupler, i.e. when the organ is on, pedals are on, unless the pedal windway is disconnected from the blower. An auxillary pedal cover made of Cherry wood may be placed over the pedal pipes.

Therefore, such refinements as electric and pneumatic actions, not being required in small instruments, find no place in this work, but everything of interest to a home-worker is touched upon in a thoroughly practical manner. There are many works on the subject to which builders, purchasers, or general readers may resort for information respecting organs, but the instructions contained in most of these works being limited to general, and often vague, description, are of little service to an ordinary amateur desirous of building the instrument himself, as in most cases the idea of building an organ at home is taken up by persons having little knowledge of the construction of the instrument which they so ardently desire to possess. It is indeed rather surprising that there is not a larger supply of literature dealing with this subject from an amateur's point of view, for it is a matter which is constantly claiming the attention young men of mechanical proclivities, and also one which exercises an astonishing and peculiar fascination over them. But beyond isolated papers in magazines, and the little manual, there does not appear to be anything which can rightly be considered as meeting the requirements of person of the class referred to.

This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
