  • One of a series of videos where Dr. Szeremany discusses and plays ELPC's Aeolian Skinner organ. In this piece, Szeremany continues his discussion of the organ's sounds and pipes, discussing how individual sounds can be combined to affect moods, and features of ELPC's organ that make it the unique instrument.

    This is the best explanation of the organ I have come across. A lovely, clear, heartfelt and unhurried presentation. A truly spectacular instrument with the most gorgeous sounds imaginable. Wish I could play it! Kindest regards to all from a very envious Londoner!! Peter

    Dr. Szeremany, I really appreciate your illustrative us of an artist's pallet of three basic colors from which he/she mixes and blends those to create various combinations. Moreover, it is very helpful that you mention that organists have a fourth "color" on their pallet which leads to the basic four groups: diapasons (principals), flutes, strings and reeds. Thank you, so much.

    A very clear and concise explanation of the various parts or groups of pipes that the organ produces. I really thought that the comparison of the natural colors/prisms found in nature to the the four groups of sounds of the organ was an excellent example in the introduction.

    Play middle "C" with the default 8' principle tone, then use a 4' principle tone on the same key to get the results an octave higher. the Pedal Division is an octave lower in the 8' tone at middle "C" of the pedalboard.

Prhaps you would strip the facate off the Empire State Building, the White House. Yes, Change to follow the fad. More pipe organs have been destroyed by fads than fire, water and vandalism combined. Thank you for your indifference to an artist's work. You have no concept of what an organis do you? You must be one of those idiots that would put a glass roof on Notre Dame.

    • @JonasClark
      @JonasClark 7 лет назад +1

      Something to keep in mind: a lot of the softer sounds in the organ won't be audible, or even add anything to the ensemble, when the chorus stops are all in use. Pulling absolutely everything out looks cool, but one can get the same effect with just most of it.

    when I think pipe organ I think of captain nemo! ( Toccata and Fugue ) you just can't tell me that song wasn't written specifically for the pipe organ.

    • @JonasClark
      @JonasClark 7 лет назад

      Correct, it was written for organ. It's usually thought of as villain music, but I think the Toccata from Leon Boellmann's "Suite Gothique" is far more sinister.

      Dearest Speedstick: There are many musicians (not organists) who would view this video as a great learning tool to become better acquainted with the organ. Also, there are many beginning organists who simply have not been instructed in the finer points demonstrated here. If you as a viewer find this detail too boring to bother with, why not click it off and move on.

      @Shred_The_Weapon 6 лет назад

      I agree with Uriah Peep. Even though I'm a synthesist, not an organist, I used to galevant around the New York Tri-State Area with an obsessive organist. It fascinated me, but his enthusiasm scarcely translated into a concise explanation into how it worked. This video series does.
