Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established for the building of keyboard instruments, by the mid-1790s the workshop of brothers Robert and William Gray had become one of the leading organ-makers in London, with instruments in St Paul's, Covent Garden and St Martin-in-the-Fields. Under William's son John Gray, the firm built some of the largest English organs of the 1820s and 1830s, as well as exporting major instruments to Boston and Charleston in the United States. In the early 1840s, with the marriage of John Gray's daughter to Frederick Davison - a member of the circle of Bach-enthusiasts around the composer Samuel Wesley - the firm became 'Gray & Davison'. Davison was a progressive figure who reformed workshop practices, commissioned a purpose-built organ factory in Euston Road and opened a branch workshop in Liverpool to exploit the booming market for church organs in Lancashire and the north-west. Under Davison's management, the firm was responsible for significant mechanical and musical innovations, especially in the design of concert organs. Instruments such as those built in the 1850s for Glasgow City Hall, the Crystal Palace and Leeds Town Hall were heavily influenced by contemporary French practice; they were designed to perform a repertoire dominated by orchestral transcriptions. Many of the instruments made by the firm have been lost or altered; but the surviving organs in St Anne, Limehouse (1851), Usk Parish Church (1861) and Clumber Chapel (1889) testify to the quality and importance of Gray & Davison's work. This book charts the firm's history from its foundation in 1772 to Frederick Davison's death in 1889. At the same time, it describes changes in musical taste and liturgical use and explores such topics as provincial music festivals, the town hall organ, domestic music-making and popular entertainment, the building of churches and the impact on church music of the Evangelical and Tractarian movements. It will appeal to organ aficionados interested in the evolution of the English organ in the later Georgian and Victorian eras, as well as other music scholars and cultural historians. NICHOLAS THISTLETHWAITE has written extensively on the history of the English organ and other aspects of English church music, and his book, The making of the Victorian organ (1990) is recognised as the standard work on the subject. He has acted as consultant for the restoration and rebuilding of organs, most recently at St Edmundsbury Cathedral and Christ Church

Download or read book The Organ Thieves written by Chip Jones and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks meets Get Out in this “startling…powerful” (Kirkus Reviews) investigation of racial inequality at the core of the heart transplant race. In 1968, Bruce Tucker, a black man, went into Virginia’s top research hospital with a head injury, only to have his heart taken out of his body and put into the chest of a white businessman. Now, in The Organ Thieves, Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist Chip Jones exposes the horrifying inequality surrounding Tucker’s death and how he was used as a human guinea pig without his family’s permission or knowledge. The circumstances surrounding his death reflect the long legacy of mistreating African Americans that began more than a century before with cadaver harvesting and worse. It culminated in efforts to win the heart transplant race in the late 1960s. Featuring years of research and fresh reporting, along with a foreword from social justice activist Ben Jealous, “this powerful book weaves together a medical mystery, a legal drama, and a sweeping history, its characters confronting unprecedented issues of life and death under the shadows of centuries of racial injustice” (Edward L. Ayers, author of The Promise of the New South).

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.

Download or read book The Chamber Organ in Britain 1600 830 written by Michael I. Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of The English Chamber Organ was published in 1968. This new, revised edition takes into account the considerable research into chamber organs that has taken place over the last thirty years. Much of the book has been completely rewritten and expanded, and it includes a number of organs not detailed in the first edition. As its revised title suggests, this new edition covers foreign-make imports as well as British-made organs that were sent overseas. Part one comprises a series of chapters that cover the history of the chamber organ, its origins and development. Part two provides a general introduction to the construction of organs, while part three gives detailed descriptions of 196 British chamber organs, with information on their location, specifications, design, and suggestions for further reading. As a domestic instrument the chamber organ was often perceived to be as much a piece of furniture as an item of musical equipment. The Chamber Organ in Britain offers an assessment of the organ as both a musical instrument and as a decorative icon.
