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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Organ Music Since it is not convenient to add a second volume of musical illustrations, as Ritter was able to do, Ihave had to content myself with a few quotations in an Appendix. I have given the whole of a Toccata by Pasquini, whose Works were supposed until recently to have been lost to the world; and the style of Elizabethan organ music is exemplified by a Choralvorspiel by Dr. John Bull, the most famous English organist of his day. I take this opportunity of acknowledging the courtesy of the Curators of the Schools of Oxford University in allowing me to reproduce their portrait of this great musician, which will be found facing page 192.

This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... (6) Columns for Discount on Purchases and Discount on Notes on the same side of the Cash Book; (c) Columns for Discount on Sales and Cash Sales on the debit side of the Cash Book; (d) Departmental columns in the Sales Book and in the Purchase Book. Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organ Fifty Years Hence: A Study of Its Development in the Light of Its Past History and Present Tendencies The treble portion of the stop. Mr. Wedgwood, who has personally visited practically every Schulze Diapason in England, considers that there is a tendency towards coarseness in his work, a tendency which has been more than accentuated by some of those builders who have attempted to imitate him. At the same time the appear ance of Schulze midway through the nineteenth century had a most beneficial influence on organ tone, and Mr. T. C. Lewis, who has based 'his work on the Schulze model, may be said to have reached the zenith of achieve ment in this particular style of foundation tone.

Download or read book The Organ as Musical Medium Classic Reprint written by John Fesperman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organ as Musical Medium IT IS gratifying to witness the tremendous growth of interest in the organ since World War II, not only as an instrument of the church but also as an artistic musical medium. The paths to historical or gans throughout Europe have become crowded with curious young musicians eager to seek an instrument which will justify the musical demands of its great literature. We have seen how the modern organ as it emerged in the early years of the 20th century dan gerously forsook its heritage. It all but lost its shape and sound, and its muddy tones turned away many gifted students who hast ened to seek out a more sympathetic musical medium to fulfill their urge for expression. Happily, this era is fast passing on, and the organ is regaining its former artistic stature. Organists and students everywhere will be grateful for this vol ume, which is one of the first in modern times to set forth a true description of the organ and the traditional principles which un derlie its design and construction.' The obvious enthusiasm of the author, together with the photographs of great organs, should prove an inspiration to the reader.

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.
