Lost Pipe Organs of Australia by Geoffrey Cox,Kelvin Hastie,John Maidment Pdf

This book has been published to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the foundation of the Organ Historical Trust of Australia in 1977. It provides a pictorial record of pipe organs in Australia that have been lost through various agencies. Some have simply been removed and broken up, others have been destroyed by fire, and others have been rebuilt beyond visual or tonal recognition. This book is not intended to provide a comprehensive account of such instruments, but rather a selective representation of those for which suitable images have survived. Insofar as individual organs can be accurately dated, the images are arranged in chronological order. These have been sourced from public and private collections, and many are published here for the first time.

Tuning the Antipodes: Battles for performing pitch in Melbourne by Simon Purtell Pdf

Examining the many controversies associated with pitch standards in Melbourne over more than a hundred years, Simon Purtell discovers their impact on the tuning of the city’s orchestras and organs, as well as its defence, municipal and Salvation Army bands. This fascinating history involves famous local and touring singers, conductors and organists, including Nellie Melba, Malcolm Sargent and William McKie, revealing just how complex a problem it was to ensure that Melbourne’s music-makers remained in tune. “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has nothing on the saga of ‘Pitch, pitch, that cursed pitch’: the seemingly endless and frequently caustic attempts to establish a uniform performing pitch for music in the Antipodes. It is a typically Melburnian drama of mixed deference to Britain and stubborn upholding of local interests that the author so eloquently and patiently chronicles, and it ranges from the almost theocratic intervention of Dame Nellie Melba at the beginning of the twentieth century to the Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Harvest Festival of 1972. At the same time, it will have been a battle taking place comparably in all the major cities of the British Empire and beyond, though each with its peculiar twists and turns. What Simon Purtell has done is show us, in immaculate detail, just how pervasive and intricate, not to mention costly, this tectonic realignment of a fundamental element of musical infrastructure must have been in all places over a very long period of time” (Emeritus Professor Stephen Banfield, Centre for the History of Music in Britain, the Empire and the Commonwealth, University of Bristol).

All the Stops by Craig R. Whitney Pdf

Before steam power, elec., and internal combustion, pipe organs were admired as the most complex and intricate mechanisms, save for clocks, that humans had yet devised. Here, Whitney brings to life some of the colorful characters who devoted their lives to its music. From the mid-19th to the early 20th cent., organ music was wildly popular in America, both in concert halls and in homes. Master builders developed organs capable of replicating the sound and dynamic range of entire orchestras. Celebrity organists such as E. Power Biggs and Virgil Fox developed cult followings and bitter rivalries. But from the late 1950s to the 1970s, audiences lost interest in the organ. But today, organs are beginning to make a comeback across America. Illustrations.
