Well, “new” is relative. The organ as an instrument has
been around a long, long time. New organs usually incorporate recent
technology, reflect current taste, and have components fabricated just for
them. They usually incorporate building methods developed centuries ago, tonal
framework used for centuries, and reflect the heritage of the building or
community.
This week, it has been my great pleasure to explore an
organ recently installed in Carmel, CA. The Presbyterian Church will be
enjoying a fabulous Galanti. There’s a clip recorded there in the video on this page. It starts about the 4’ mark. I had so much fun! Thank you for letting me
take a romp through the instrument! The possibilities for playing wonderful
music are endless.
It’s been hard to settle down and work on the next square
pattern. I did manage a couple of samples; more next week. Also a report on the
workshop I’ll be attending Saturday.
