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.

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 Organ Works of Bach This is, I think, the first systematic and compre hensive English book on the organ works of Bach. It comes from one who is both organist and musician. I hasten to explain. By both organist and musician I do not mean what some rude scribes mean when they say of a singer, by way of the highest praise they can give him, that he is not only a singer but a musician. I would never dream of suggesting that there are organists who are not musicians. But it goes without saying that there are musicians who are not organists. I know the tribe exists, because I am a humble member of it myself. My own practical acquaint ance with the organ has been limited to the rare occasions when I have sat by an organist friend who has allowed me to let my fingers wander idly over the noisy keys, as somebody's did in the song, and with the same futility. But though I cannot play the organ, I have studied a good deal of organ music my own knowledge of Bach's organ works, indeed, is derived in the first place from study of them either at the pianoforte or with the score on my knees. There must be many others who have learned them in the same way. But what we learn of them in this way is obviously not all that is to be learned about them. They were written for a particular instrument, and cannot fully come to life except on that instrument. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 130 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.

A list of stops for the Solo and Echo or Celestial Organs, with the character of tone of each stop, together with a complete list of Couplers to be found on Modern Organs, have been added.
