What are groups of stops and manuals on organs?
The first thing is do you know what are stops and what they do? There are different kinds of stops. There are the drawknob ones the ones that up pull out or push in other stops look like thin chips. If you ever saw theater organs, that's the best example of those stops. Each stop has a name like bourdon, lieblich getakt etc. At the bottom of the name is a number that number is used to identify the pipe length ex:flute 6 the flute is the instrument and the number is the length so 6 is 6ft. So you play a 6ft. pipe the tallest pipes would be 32ft stops. On a pipe organ for example, you want to play the piccolo, you pull out that stop and when you pull it out it opens the air way to those sets of pipes and when you press a key it makes a sound, but if all the stops are pushed in, the organ makes no sound. Menuals are basically your keyboards on an organ, 2) manuals have a swell and great menuals, and 3) menual organs have a choir menuall added. If you notice the stops are arranged in order, there's the base, swell, great and for three menualls, there's a choir also. The largest organs have 5 menuals, believe it or not, but the worlds largest pipe organ is located in Philadelphia at the Macy's store. This organ has 48 thousand+ pipes. They are all scattered throughout the store, and on Christmas you can actually hear the organ play.
Do organs work with other structures to perform a function?
Yes organs are frequently found in churches and there are some magnificent organs found in cathedrals. The sound made by the organ is particularly suitable for the structure of these building which reverberate with the sound accompanying the singing of the choir and congregation. They can also look very beautiful and impressive.
Can you get musical dynamics on the organ?
Many pipe organs have doors that open and close via a foot pedal to adjust volume. Beyond that, adding or removing stops can greatly affect the perceived volume.
What year was the organ flute and violin made?
Flute ranks - both open and stopped - were among the very first types of stops built into early organs, and remain among the most common organ stops today. The earliest organ string stop was the gambe, named after the cello-like instrument of the same name. Gambas start showing up in organ specifications about 1550 or thereabouts - some prototypes may be earlier.
What organ registrations can be used on a pipe organ to suit theatre organ playing?
One of the characteristics of the theater organ is the tremulant. Also, whilst the prevalent stop on a church pipe organ is the Diapason or Principal, on the theater organ it is the Tibia Clausa, a pure flute tone. Theater organs also have stops not commonly found on church organs such as the Kinura and Post Horn. The strings are usually quite a bit keener and louder as well as typified by the typical Wurlitzer Viol de Orchestra. One commonality is the Vox Humana. However the voicing of theater organs is usually quite different than church organs, particularly if the church organ in question was built after the Organ Reform Movement. A Church organ built during the romantic or orchestral period may make a fairly good imitation of a theater organ simply by turning on the tremulants. However the tremulants of theater organs are usually quite a bit faster and deeper than church organ tremulants. The best bet is to make maximum use of the strings, trems and reeds. Do not be afraid to use the mutations as well. Don't forget that theater organs were highly unified so that many stops played at every conceivable pitch.
