Synopsis
Excerpt from Organ-Stops and Their Artistic Registration: Names, Forms, Construction, Tonalities, and Offices in Scientific Combination
An attempt has been made in the present work to furnish the organist, and especially the organ student, with a work of ready reference respecting the numerous Stops which have been and now are introduced in the Organ: giving, so far as is practicable in a necessarily brief and condensed form, their various names in different languages, peculiarities of formation, tonal characteristics, and value and office in scientific and artistic combination and artistic registration.
It is hoped that the work will be accepted as a text-book in Organ Schools and Conservatories of Music, leading toward, and lending help to, a branch of study of the greatest value and importance to the organ student; but one which, in too many quarters, has been seriously neglected. That a thorough knowledge of the tonal forces of the Organ and their varied powers in scientific and artistic combination and registration, for the production of special and expressive qualities of both compound, unimitative organ, and imitative orchestral tones, is essential to the accomplished organist, admits of no question. Accordingly, it is highly desirable that the student should leave the organ school with, at least, a foundation laid for that thorough knowledge. It is with the earnest desire to contribute effectively to the laying of that foundation that the present work is placed at the command of both teachers and pupils.
In another direction, and one of great importance at the present time, this work, if properly understood, will prove of considerable value; namely, in giving reliable advice and assistance in the preparation of stop appointments and apportionments for new Organs.

Organ-Stops and Their Artistic Registration (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to organ stops, their construction, and their use in musical performance. Written for organists and students, it delves into the rich history and science of the organ, exploring the evolution of stop-making techniques and how they influence the instrument's tonal qualities. The author stresses the importance of understanding the specific tonalities and properties of each stop, arguing that this knowledge is crucial for achieving artistic and expressive registration. The book emphasizes the vital role of harmonic-corroborating stops in creating complex and nuanced sounds, exploring the interplay between pure organ tones, free organ tones, and orchestral imitative tones. The author challenges common practices in organ design and advocates for a more logical and artistic approach to stop apportionment. This book offers invaluable insights for aspiring and established organists seeking to master the art of registration and fully explore the expressive potential of this magnificent instrument.
