Church of Thorembais-les-Beguines

Into European Order Today we visit the church of

perambulating Belgium. Note some facts of

musical and historical interest. Music composed by men who were

contemporaries of its build.

Where.

The organ to be explored today in the church of thought a baby gained one only

by buying out jam was built sometime around 16 7 to find

the instrument does not make it nor is it signed. Possibly the builder may never be

known. It's a positive organ which originally was part of a much larger

instrument belonging to the Priory of totem Bay irate which was under the

supervision of Live Aid to be a lobby.

Tunnel a this is a most interesting instrument as we shall see knob from a number of examples

of the individual stops and there are several combinations. Our first

own example illustrates the eight foot board on.

Now we will hear the somewhat brighter forefoot press tapped.

Our third example illustrates the tone of the forefoot float

in.

Here again is the eight foot board on which we heard as all first example

combined with the sparkle of the two foot do but I.

Was.

In the next example we again hear the board on at 8 foot pitch combined with a

two and two thirds foot stop the Quint and off unison stop which in

combination gives an unusual effect.

Our sixth tonal example combines another off unison stop. This time the one and

three fifths won't stop but tears with the eight foot board on again.

The effect is somewhat unusual.

Now we will hear the 5 rank cornet played by the right hand and used as a solo

stop accompanied by the eight foot board gong and the four foot flute in the left

hand.

The atonal example illustrates the full organ effect without the reed stops.

We will hear the eight foot board on the four foot press stand and float the two foot do

but the five right cornet and the three rank next are.

Our total exploration of this small instrument includes as we hear the two reed

stops the eight foot trumpet and the four foot Clara.

We have now heard all of the 10 stops either alone or in simple

combinations of today's ancient European organ located in the church of

totem Balej big Gene Wilder in Buffalo and Belgium. It's an

instrument of one manual of forty eight notes and a pedal of 18 keys attached to the

manuals by mechanical devices. There are 10 stops but

16 ranks of pipes. The pedal keys were added to the organ after it had been

placed in the church of Torah. The first C Sharp of the

manual does not exist but in this connection it should be noted that organ works of the seventeenth

century were written in keys which did not require the low C sharp

in all. The organ contains six hundred twenty eight pipes. They are made of lead

except for about 21 which are of wood. Organist poem

Sato was a German born music publisher and composer of the sixteenth century who

spent most of his adult productive life in the Low Countries. It made a considerable

contribution to music through the publication of a number of collections of contemporary

works. Sort of a hero by so Sato.

totem baby again is by the 16th and 17th century organist

died in 1770 and therefore was a contemporary of the man who built the

instrument in the church of totem Bay books to whose most famous

position which he held beginning in sixteen sixty eight was that of organist at the St.

Mary Church in Ribbeck. So famous was the OP and music and other

activities of books to who to hear that both Handel and Bach journeyed to St. Mary's to

I'm listening to another program on the series ancient European organs presenting

instruments erected during the period from the Middle Ages through the middle of the 18th

century. Together with facts about them and the structures in which they are housed. The

music performed on them by their contemporaries. Today's

broadcast explored an instrument built about 16 75 by some unknown

craftsman and instrument of one manual with 48 keys and the

pedalboard of 18 keys attached to the manual with trackers.

Their attempt stops some 16 sets of pipes. The instrument is housed in the

church of quorum Balej begin in Wallonia Brabant Belgium.

Materials for these programs are recorded by members of the European Broadcasting Union. Today's

programme having been recorded by the French division of the Belgian radio. Especially the

presentation in the United States by Member Stations of the NPR network.

Programme was prepared and written by Honeywell over and produced at the University of Michigan.

At her speaking and inviting you to listen again next week at the same time for another
