Daniel Roth at St. Sulpice, Paris - Sweelink

[ears61]

Cweelink?



[ears61]

Composition is spectacular. Roth was inspired.

[TheCatedral]

Comme toujours, une superbe interprétation de Monsieur Roth. Du grand Orgue, qui s'écoute avec plaisir et gourmandise artistique. Merci de poster ce Video.

[IpsaPaphum]

A masterpiece masterfully played!

The furthest five stops on the third row on each side of the manuals are your generals presets. These can store registrations and, judging by the video, cancel registrations as well.

Indeed — except they do not operate like the usual setzer-like presets, but rather like this: at St-Sulpice, the stop action goes through a Barker machine, which is by default *not* winded. Therefore, whenever you pull out and/or push back stops, there is no immediate effect. The five special stops you mention allow the wind to get into this Barker machine.

So in practise, one may proceed as follows:

- whenever you want to change registration on any given manual during a piece, you (or your assistant(s)) pulls and/or pushes all the necessary stops while you play, but *before* the point where the new registration is due to take effect.

- At said point, you (or your assistant(s)) pull one of the five special stops (there is one for each manual), and

- From that point on, repeat the procedure for the next change of registration, etc.

Whats this at the end, he pulled Stops, but nothings sounds?

[gooseholla1]

Maybe he turned the blowers off when he pulled them?

[bastiorgel]

No, so quick this cant be!

[BeFrSc]

there is a combination of stops, when pulled it acts as a General Cancel, stopping all stops from sounding. I'm not sure how it works, I'll ask Daniel and get back to you.

[advisorC101]

Perhaps there's a toe piston that acts as the general cancel? He did say general cancel so your undoubtedly correct about that.

[BeFrSc]

No, Toe pistons don't exsist on Pneumatic Organs, Its something to do with the stops, a certain combination, or having to many stops out causes the sliders to all go back in, as strange as it sounds. I have emailed Daniel, and will comment with the answer.

[advisorC101]

Then what are all the accessories above the pedal board?

[BeFrSc]

They are Ventils, which means that you can pull out reed stops and if the Ventil isn't on, then they won't sound, and when you press the pedal, the reeds turn on its a great device for a steady cresendo. They are also Couplers to the bottom manual and the pedals, and on the right hand side, there is the swell ratchet lever.

[cthart]

@BeFrSc St Sulpice is not a pneumatic organ... it's a real tracker but with a Barker machine which assists the mechanical action.

[bastiorgel]

Ok!

[christiancolard]

On devrait trouver un moyen d'accoupler tous les claviers de la ville de Paris.Une fantaisie en vaut bien une autre...

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

ernststolz knows alot about Dutch music. I'd suggest looking him up here.

[marsvltor2]

Good Grief: what an instrument. Equally at home with Sweelinck or Vierne. Whenever I think I've got the measure of this organ, I does something surprising. I would love to see the registrations used here...

[cthart]

@marsvltor2 Lots of Clicquot pipework in this instrument, I suspect Daniel knows which stops contain these.

[cliveso]

I believe it's spelt "Sweelinck" with a C :)

[MarkyFD112]

@cliveso Indeed! It's Sweelinck...

[IpsaPaphum]

@cliveso Usually. They had other ideas about spelling in those days. The forms Zwelinck and Swe(e)ling(h) are also recorded.

[cliveso]

@IpsaPaphum Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks!

[organ1029]

Where can I find the sheet music?

[ryanwfrederick]

In any collected works of the organ music of Jan Sweelinck...

[SFChristo]

Dover publishes a complete works. Has most pieces in it.

[mercoid]

No comments yet...?! I thought that was extraordinary.
