Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Organ The object of this little work is to give an outline of the history of that wonderful outcome of human ingenuity and skill known as the organ, from documentary evidence, apart from the vague speculations of Kircher and others. The known history of the organ begins with the machine of Ctesibius, of Alexandria, in which air was forced into a trumpet by the efforts of water to "rise to its own level." In mediaeval times the force of gravity replaced that of water, weights being placed on a bellows, from which the air was thus driven into the pipes with the requisite strength. Speculations as to the nature of the organs mentioned in Genesis and elsewhere in the Scriptures have no bearing on the history of the instrument, for when, during the Reformation, the Bible was translated into various modern languages, the translators, knowing nothing of the instruments there mentioned, simply made use of musical terms familiar to them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organs and Organ Building in New England The history of the Brattle organ has been comparatively uneventful, and the instrument is enjoying a peaceful old age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Recent Revolution in Organ Building: Being an Account of Modern Developments Some years ago the elder and deacons of a Scotch church were assembled in solemn conclave to discuss the prospective installation of a pipe organ. The table was piled high with plans and specifications and discussion ran rife as to whether they should have a two-manual or a three-manual instrument - a Great and Swell or a Great, Swell, and Choir organ. At last Deacon MacNab, the church treasurer and a personage of importance, got a chance to speak. "Mr. Chairman, said he, "I don't see why we should have a Great, a Swell, and a Choir organ. I think that one organ is quite enough." Now, Deacon MacNab was a master tailor, and a good one at that; so the musical man who was pushing the thing through appealed to his professional instincts in explaining the situation by saying: "Surely, Mr. MacNab, you would not say that a man was properly dressed with only a coat on! You would expect him to have on a coat, waistcoat and trousers!" And the day was won for the three-manual organ. Of course there had been no organ in this church before, or the worthy deacon might have known more about it. If he had! read the second chapter of this book, he would have known all about it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early English Organ Builders and Their Work: From the Fifteenth Century to the Period of the Great Rebellion, an Unwritten Chapter in the History of the Organ, a Lecture, Delivered Before the College of Organists, November 15, 1864 As regards the origin of this noble in strument, we may safely assume it to have been the simple series of reeds of various lengths, blown into by the mouth of the performer at the upper ends, and known as the Pipes of Pan. The Greek and Latin shepherds made this primitive instrument of strong reeds, or some other suitable wood. It consisted originally of seven or eight reeds of graduated length, fastened together with wax The number was afterwards extended to ten or twelve. The Syrinx or Pipes of Pan, by its form and arrangement, may be regarded as the first kind of organ building; for here were a number of pipes placed together in ranks, according to their succession of tones, and sounded by wind.

This book was released on 2018-07-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Recent Revolution in Organ Building Being an Account of Modern Developments by George Laing Miller CHAPTER I. AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING. "The Organ breathes its deep-voiced solemn notes, The people join and sing, in pious hymnsAnd psalms devout; harmoniously attun'd, The Choral voices blend; the long-drawn aislesAt every close the ling'ring strains prolong: And now, of varied tubes and reedy pipes, The skilful hand a soften'd stop controuls: In sweetest harmony the dulcet strains steal forth, Now swelling high, and now subdued; afar they floatIn lengthened whispers melting into cadenced murmurs, Forming soft melodious strains, and placid airs, Spreading gently all around, then soaring up to Heav'n!"-Dryden. The origin of the pipe organ is lost in the mists of antiquity. Tradition hath it that there was one in Solomon's Temple at Jerusalem, the sound of which could be heard at the Mount of Olives. It has the honor of being the first wind instrument mentioned in the Bible (Genesis iv, 21), where we are told that "Jubal is the father of all such as handle the harp and the organ." The Hebrew word here is ugab, which is sometimes translated in the Septuagint by cithara (the ancient lute), sometimes by psalm, sometimes by organ. Sir John Stainer ("Dictionary of Musical Terms," p. 444) says: "It is probable that in its earliest form the ugab was nothing more than a Pan's-pipes or syrinx, but that it gradually developed into a more important instrument." The passage, however, shows that the ugab was known in the time of Moses, who was "learned in all the learning of the Egyptians."

Download or read book Organ Building for Amateurs written by Mark Wicks and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organ Building for Amateurs: A Practical Guide for Home-Workers; Containing Specifications, Designs, and Full Instructions for Making Every Portion of the Instrument In submitting this life work to the public I must, in the first instance, warn the reader that it is not written with the intention of dealing exhaustively with organ building generally, but, as its title implies, only with that particular phase which comes within the means and scope of an intelligent amateur workman. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Church Organs: Their Position and the Materials Used in Their Construction There are some facts of a technical character that have such important bearing, not only on the development of art principles in English organ building, but on the probable deterioration of the art; yet concerning which so much ignorance and misunderstanding prevail, that I have endeavoured by the following pages to throw such light upon them as may be drawn from my own knowledge, and from the far more important long practical experience of my grandfather, the late J. C. Bishop, and of my father, who has necessarily directed much of his attention to the subject. I allude to the position in which organs are frequently, nay generally, placed in churches and other buildings, particularly to the modern resource of an "organ chamber"; and to the materials of which the instrument itself should be constructed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Organ and Its Masters: An Account of the Organists of Former Days, As Well As Some of the Prominent Virtuosi of the Present, With a Brief Sketch of the Development of Organ Construction is written by Henry C. Lahee, American author and musician. Historically the use of the organ was limited to laity and the compositions were primarily sacred. Lahee emphasizes the modern shift towards demand for organ music in the secular tradition and the recent surge in secular organ composition, making this book a much-needed exploration of the past, present and future of the organ. The primary focus of the text is to serve as a thorough biography of noted organists throughout the tradition, from early to modern times; the secondary focus of the book is to provide information on the evolution of organ building and organ playing over the past few centuries. Lahee's passion for the organ as an instrument suited to both secular and sacred works is evident on every page. A very thorough resource, this book supplies readers interested in organs and music with a wellspring of knowledge on the history and use of organs. Henry C. Lahee's book The Organ and Its Masters: An Account of the Organists of Former Days, As Well As Some of the Prominent Virtuosi of the Present, With a Brief Sketch of the Development of Organ Construction is a great addition to the library of any musician. This book gives an in-depth view on the evolution of the organ and shines light on the present-day uses of this instrument. This book is a great read for any student of music, history, or an organist of any level of musical ability.
