Worlds of Pipes, King of Instruments
“The Organ―grandest instrument the hand
Of man has placed in Music’s galaxy;
In which all Nature’s wondrous sounds are linked
In golden chains of countless harmonies.
Responsive to the touch of man’s weak hands
As if a giant’s fingers swept its keys
And called concordant voices from the depths,
The diapason of the storm-struck sea,
The thunder’s peal, the wind’s wild whistling wail,
The songs of swift-winged warblers in the air,
And the soft sighing of the ambient breeze
Temple of Tone art thou! The shrine supreme
Of Sound’s mysterious powers and richest gifts,
God-given thought alone could have inspired
The human mind to frame so grand a work;
Great Organ―Monarch of all Instruments!”
---George Ashdown Audsley
The Program
Words such as “strength” and “magnitude” often accompany descriptions of
the pipe organ. Yet the true beauty of this glorious instrument is its flexibility
and variety; for as Audsley’s poem suggests, it can articulate every tone and
picture that human thought could possibly imagine. Today’s program will
capture just a few of these “worlds” – distinct realms of sound and color - and
will demonstrate just how diverse, and divine, organ music can be.
