Bach Organ Partita at Lyons, New York

[virginiaorganbuilder]

Wow. I learned to play on a 1969 Schlicker in Attleboro, Massachusetts, and this organ is much fuller sounding. From the sound alone I would never have guessed the builder, but the console positively screams Schlicker!

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[afertyus1000]

do all organs have the opposite colour keys to a piano?

[friedrichsacher]

no! Not all organ. In the beginnings the organ keyboard looks like that! And they are still produced. Some people like the manuals the old fashion way (mee to btw) but mostly there are "normal" keyboards. Just an optical thing

Hi Fred, was this organ designed by Paul Bunjes by any chance? This is a nice piece, and the instrument is wonderfully baroque, just like others I've played here in St. Louis.

[midnightpipes]

The Lyons Schlicker was actually designed by my Eastman organ professor, David Craighead. It does show some Bunjes influences. However, I understand that, in 1969-1970, apprentices from von Beckerath and Schucke (East Germany) worked on this organ installation, and hence, the Lyons organ sounds more truly East-German or Polish than any other Schlicker I can think of. The casework is similar to those Schlickers which Mr Bunjes designed. Thanks for writing. - FH

Very well played, but the organ sounds like a circular saw.

[midnightpipes]

Thanks for posting your comment.  Sometimes, organ music can sound rough if your computer's audio output settings are not set at 44.1kHz. Please confirm 44.1kHz as your audio setting (not 48kHz), as this may improve the audio. - FH

I really love the pedal reed stop on this organ what is the name of the pedal reed on this organ?

[midnightpipes]

There are two reed stops in the pedal division of this organ: a 16' Fagott and a 4' Schalmei. You hear the 16' in the opening of this video. The 4' is heard in the other Lyons video. The pedal division is behind the rightmost third of the organ case. The lowest octave of the 16' reed is on electro-pneumatic chests at the back of the case on left and right at floor level. The upper portion of the Fagott and the entire Schalmei are on elevated, mechanical action chests.

[GranCornetto]

Un po' veloce. Ma il registro di Cornetto è splendido.

[cinj9]

Sounds so like typical of Schlicker. Great Baroque organ. Excellent execution of the piece. Bravo!!!!
