Organ Of St. Ludgeri In Norden
The organ of St. Ludgeri in Norden was built from 1686 to 1692 by Arp Schnitger. It has 46 stops, five divisions, three manuals and pedal, and is thus the second-largest surviving Schnitger organ in Germany (after that of the St. James' Church, Hamburg) and until 2018 the largest organ in East Frisia. Historically and musically it is considered an art-work of international rank.Vogel, Ruge (1995). ''Orgellandschaft Ostfriesland.'' p. 31. Building history The previous organ of the Lutheran Ludgerikirche was built by Edo Evers in 1618, partly using pipes from an older organ of Andreas de Mare (1567). This organ had 18 stops, three manuals and an attached pedal. Like its predecessor, it was a 'Swallow's-nest' choir-organ on the south choir wall (behind the present organ's location), from which position it was able to fulfil the liturgical demands which had originally been made on it. New organ by Schnitger 1686–1688 and 1691–1692 When, after years of unsuccessful repair work ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Church Of Saints Cosmas And Damian, Stade
The Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, Stade (german: Ss. Cosmae et Damiani or ''St. Cosmae'') is a Lutheran church in Stade, Germany. The church was built in the early 12th century and extended in the 17th century. The Baroque altar was crafted by in 1674–1677, and the organ was built in 1668–1675 by Berendt Hus Berendt Hus (also Huß or Huss; 1630February 1676) was a German organ builder. Life and work Hus was born around 1630 in the Oldenburg area of northern Germany. The earliest record of his activity comes from 1650 when he assisted his master ... and his nephew, the famous Arp Schnitger; the latter expanded the organ in 1688.

Music In Lower Saxony
Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content. Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal. While scholars agree that music is defined by a few specific elements, there is no consensus on their precise definitions. The creation of music is commonly divided into musical composition, musical improvisation, and musical performance, though the topic itself extends into academic disciplines, criticism, philosophy, and psychology. Music may be performed or improvised using a vast range of instruments, including the human voice. In some musical contexts, a performance or composition may be to some extent improvised. For instance, in Hindustani classical music, the performer plays spontaneously while following a partially defined structure and using characteristic motifs. In modal ...

Gustav Fock
Gustav Fock (18 November 1893 – 12 March 1974) was a German music historian, editor early music and organologist (musical instrumentologist). He is considered the most important Schnitger researcher of his time. Life and work Born in Neuenfelde, Fock was a captain's son from a family of seafarers in 1893. His father's name was Claus Hinrich Fock and he died early in 1913. His mother was Greta, ''née'' Fortriede, Tiedemann († 1969). Claus Hinrich Fock was the owner and skipper of the two-masted ships called "Cadet" and later "Greta". His lifelong fascination for Arp Schnitger - who was also born in Neuenfelde - and his encounter with Schnitger's organ there awakened his lifelong fascination for this organ builder. He attended the Royal Music Institute of Berlin in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1919/20, then studied musicology with Max Seiffert at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and with Fritz Stein in Kiel, where he was granted his doctorate in 1931 on "Hamburgs Anteil am Or ...

Tremulant
__NOTOC__ A tremulant (from Latin: ''tremulus'', "trembling"; french: tremblant, it, tremolo, es, temblor) is a device on a pipe organ which varies the wind supply to the pipes of one or more divisions (or, in some cases, the whole organ). This causes their amplitude and pitch to fluctuate, producing a tremolo and vibrato effect. A large organ may have several tremulants, affecting different ranks (sets) of pipes. Many tremulants are variable, allowing for the speed and depth of tremolo to be controlled by the organist. The tremulant has been a part of organ building for many centuries, dating back to Italian organs of the sixteenth century. The tremulant should not be confused with the celeste, which consists of two distinct ranks of pipes, one tuned slightly sharp or flat from the other, producing an undulating effect when they are used together. Construction The simplest kind of tremulant is a weighted electric motor affixed to the top of the reservoir for the division ...

Pipe Organ
The pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by driving pressurized air (called ''wind'') through the organ pipes selected from a keyboard. Because each pipe produces a single pitch, the pipes are provided in sets called ''ranks'', each of which has a common timbre and volume throughout the keyboard compass. Most organs have many ranks of pipes of differing timbre, pitch, and volume that the player can employ singly or in combination through the use of controls called stops. A pipe organ has one or more keyboards (called '' manuals'') played by the hands, and a pedal clavier played by the feet; each keyboard controls its own division, or group of stops. The keyboard(s), pedalboard, and stops are housed in the organ's ''console''. The organ's continuous supply of wind allows it to sustain notes for as long as the corresponding keys are pressed, unlike the piano and harpsichord whose sound begins to dissipate immediately after a key is depressed.

Meantone Temperament
Meantone temperament is a musical temperament, that is a tuning system, obtained by narrowing the fifths so that their ratio is slightly less than 3:2 (making them ''narrower'' than a perfect fifth), in order to push the thirds closer to pure. Meantone temperaments are constructed the same way as Pythagorean tuning, as a stack of equal fifths, but it is a ''temperament'' in that the fifths are not pure. Notable meantone temperaments Equal temperament, obtained by making all semitones the same size, each equal to one-twelfth of an octave (with ratio the 12th root of 2 to one (:1), narrows the fifths by about 2 cents or 1/12 of a Pythagorean comma, and produces thirds that are only slightly better than in Pythagorean tuning. Equal temperament is roughly the same as 1/11 comma meantone tuning. Quarter-comma meantone, which tempers the fifths by 1/4 of a syntonic comma, is the best known type of meantone temperament, and the term ''meantone temperament'' is often used to refer to ...
