	Organ repertoire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because the organ is one of the oldest musical instruments in existence, written organ repertoire spans a time period almost as long as that of written music itself.
		Because the organ was found almost exclusively in the western churches from the Middle Ages until the emergence in the Romantic era of large concert hall instruments, a significant portion of organ repertoire is sacred in nature.
		A particularly important form of organ composition in the Romantic era was the organ symphony, first seen in César Franck's Grand pièce symphonique and refined in the ten symphonies of Widor and the six of Louis Vierne.

	Pipe organ Summary
		The organ and the music written for it reached a pinnacle of importance during the seventeenth century, but one must look to developments during the Middle Ages to understand how the organ came to be a part of the structure—literally—of the major Christian churches, and to appreciate its extraordinary mechanical complexity.
		These organs differed in their sound and capabilities as well as their construction, but in general as organs became more complex, they were capable of producing a great volume as well as a wide variety of tone colors.
		Organs were also known to exist in the Byzantine Empire as well as in Islamic Spain, though there is no evidence that the European organ came by way of Spain.

	Edythe Bates Old Grand Organ - History
		Rosales Organ Builders, Inc. of Los Angeles and Clyde Holloway, Professor of Organ at The Shepherd School of Music, determined that an organ with the tonal characteristics valued in France during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries would offer the greatest flexibility in playing the largest segment of the literature.
		The voicing of the organ pipes - the meticulous and painstaking adjustment of the tone, volume, and speech of each pipe - began six weeks later and was accomplished by both firms during the twelve months ending in March 1997.
		Rosales Organ Builders of Los Angeles, California, and C.B. Fisk, Inc.,of Gloucester, Massachusetts, made the joining of forces to build an organ for The Shepherd School of Music of Rice University a logical result of a long and significant relationship.

	Organ (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The organ is one of the oldest musical instruments in the Western musical tradition, and carries a rich history connected with Christian liturgy and civic ceremony.
		Another prevalent type is the electronic organ, which does not have pipes and propagates its electronically-produced sound through one or more loudspeakers; these are often intended to be replacements for pipe organs but are also performed in genres ranging from rock to jazz.
		Organs are performed by organists and are built and maintained by organ builders.

	Pipe Dreams
		Computers permit pipe organ play of an almost infinite number of notes and permit control of stops and couplers limited only by the basic design of an individual instrument.
		Since pipe organs inherently are digital devices (notes, stops, and couplers are either "on" or "off"), the computer does not change the pipe organ's essential character and does not alter the quality of the sounds it generates.
		The pipe organ repertoire now can be expanded to multi-track compositions, being limited only by the number of organ manuals and stops.

		The organ is in two parts: the top part contains the chests, pipes and keyboards, and the bottom portion contains the base, the blower and the bellows.
		Primarily it will be featured as a continuo organ in performance by the Yale Schola Cantorum and Yale Camerata, but it can also play very beautifully some of the solo organ repertoire that is written for one keyboard alone.

		That organ music by composed by Austrians is taking a major role in the choice of this repertoire can be demonstrated, for instance, by the program of a concert I gave in March 2000 in the course of the series Wiener Orgelkonzerte (organized by Kunstverein Wien) in the parish church of Breitensee.
		On this tour I had a chance to see and play historical organs in Gemona, Spilimbergo, Udine (in the cathedral and in San Giorgio), Valvasone and Venzone and thus to experience the sound and the world of Italian organ music of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries in a very direct way.
		In Gothenburg I had for a period of three months the chance to work with the organ built in the style of the North German Baroque, which was set uo in Örgryte Nya Kyrka, and study some repertoire appropriate for this instrument as well.

		No, you won’t find kidneys, lungs or spleens; this is about organs with keyboards, most particularly windblown pipe organs of the classical or church variety; although I also enjoy playing the Hammond for gospel and jazz and listening to the theater pipe organ (but have never learned to properly play a Wurlitzer).
		I also appreciate some of the recent electronic or digital organs; many of these have come a long way and in some situations are really quite effective — although under most circumstances a pipe organ is, by far, superior to electronic instruments when it comes to playing classical- and church-organ repertoire.
		Another contender for world largest organ is in, of all places, a department store: Wanamaker’s of Philadelphia: The Grand Court Organ, built in the early 1920s, is certainly a biggie, with approximately 28,000 pipes (but 476 ranks, 15 more than the ACCH organ).
