Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Organs and Organists For this we have to thank primarily the innumerable Organists throughout the Kingdom who have supplied information for inclusion in the book, but this foreword would be incomplete without an acknowledgment of our ih debtedness to the Federation of Master Organ Builders for the valued assist ance it has afforded in compiling and verifying as far as possible the particulars of organs included in Part II. The interest evinced by the Federation has enabled us to include particulars of numerous organs which would not other wise have been obtainable, for all of which we take this opportunity of expressing our sincere appreciation to this organization. We desire also to convey our thanks to all who have in any way helped to bring this edition to a successful issue, and not the least those authors whose painstaking labours are evidenced in tangible form in the articles contained in Part which, we venture to think, will form a valuable addition to the Bibliography of the Organ. A considerable amount of time has, of necessity, elapsed during the compilation of such a comprehensive work, and, despite the safeguards adopted to eliminate errors, both of omission and commission, it is certain that, even as the book leaves the press, some few records will be out of date. We feel sure, however, that our readers will not hastily condemn the book on this score, but will rather judge the work as a whole, and if some inaccuracies are found, will, as in the past, lend us their valued co-operation in correcting the information in our hands, as well as by keeping us advised of changes of interest as such occur. Not only will such co-operation be most welcome, but will enable us to make of still more interest to all lovers of the King of Instruments our Dictionary of Organs 6' Organists, the Second Edition of which we herewith submit to the appreciation of our readers.

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.

Download or read book The Story of the Organ (Classic Reprint) written by C. F. Abdy Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 360 pages. 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.
