Book 3 Building Stop Registrations Using Voice Palette Stops This
book goes into depth into more than just using more stops, instead
right along wiht the new stops you will be playing we investigate
techniques of combining stops as well as developing organ
technique. The organ can have just one keyboard, but this is sort
of rare. Organs have two or more keyboards and pedalboards so that
the organist is able to play more than one instrumental line and
sound at a time. The organ is one of the few instruments that makes
this possible. While pianists play, bringing out the bass melody,
then echoing it in the treble, it's all using the same sound.
Pianists must work hard to produce a difference in the tone while
playing - an organist just chooses a new stop Here we play music
that echos itself, music in which the organ accompanies itself, and
that use two different instruments playing against each other. We
also go into choosing tempos, stroking the keys for sparkling
playing, using our secret weapon - silence - to accent notes and
guides on how to choose stops by analyzing the music. Coupling -
playing stops on two keyboards at one from just one keyboard - is
used to build up the chorus sound of the organ, sort of like
combining two choirs for a special performance. More clues to
matching registrations are accompanied by music that makes it easy
for you to see and hear how this all works. Pedals remain optional
- and much of this music was written for organs without pedals as
composers understood that organists in smaller churches also had
money to buy music, so quite a bit of organ music appears in print
with and without pedals. We dig deeper into what the stops are and
how to use them as well as giving you all sorts of ideas for
creating your own stop settings. By the end of this book you will
understand the Voice Palette stops that are behind the engraved
stop tablets or drawknobs of your organ. They are like having the
ingredients for making a pasta dish not just Italian cooking, but
also German, French and even for American macaroni and cheese.
These organs today have stops representing many nationalities of
organ building and with these organs you are able to dip into each
style of organ building and experiment with registrations to make
the music sound just as you expect it to, very easily. 25 pieces
written for the organ including 3 fugues, three settings of the
choral "Jesu, Meine Freude" by Pachelbel, Bach and Bohm and four
settings by Walther. Learning stop families and traditional stop
combinations including the "cornet" are a lots easier when you can
actually play and hear them. "Scholarly Music" turns out to be fun
to play when you are using the stops it was written for by the
composer. Hear Bach how Bach heard it. New music that will serve
you and your church congregation for many years.
