DEAN’ S LETTER As the leaves have now turned beautiful shades of gold and red just before they will fall off their branches, we turn our clocks back one hour to begin the season of shorter days and colder temperatures. It seems that with shorter daylight hours, we sometimes feel we never get enough accom-plished. I sometimes feel like I never have enough practice time especially when I plan and program challenging music. The great French organ virtuoso Marcel Dupré was said to have awok-en each morning, ate breakfast and then sat and practiced the organ for several hours. How I wish I could have this luxury. It seems that time is more fleeting with less daylight. As a college student in undergraduate and graduate school, I always practiced in the evening as I was a night owl. Some evenings, I would finish at 1:00 or 2:00am and then walk or drive home. After attending morning and afternoon classes, I would try to get as much practice time as possible. During the month of October, I programmed all my Sun-day Preludes and Postludes with the music of J. S. Bach. I did this so my Lutheran congregation would experience the great music of the master and also because it forced me to practice even more than I usu-ally would. I hope you find ample time to practice the music that inspires and stirs your soul! Victor Fields Dean

There is yet another way to experience great organ music online. The Organ Media Foundation has rolled out its third Internet streaming audio station, The Organ Experience. This station broadcasts classical organ music 24 hours a day via its website at www.organexperience.com. A built-in web player automatically handles connecting listeners to the stream, and complete information about each work being played is displayed on the site.

This station is automated, and generates its own creative playlists. The music is grouped into 30-minute, 1 hour, or 2 hour blocks. The music of each block is chosen based on a specific theme. To give you an idea, a few randomly chosen themes one might hear are:

German Music on French Organs Music from Canada Baroque Music American Music on Aeolian-Skinner Organs Organs by Casavant French Music on North American Organs Music of Dieterich Buxtehude Romantic French Music on Cavaillé-Coll organs Recordings from the Pro Organo Label Some themes are broad, others very specific, there are currently more than 80 different themes up for selection. The information about each block of music can be found on the website, as well as a listing of upcoming blocks.

For each work, the listener is presented with the work title, the composer and dates with a link to the composer’s biography, the performer with a link to his or her biography, the length of the work, the organ being played and a link to its specification, the album title and artwork, label and catalog, and links to purchase the album online either as a CD or as MP3 if available. In addition, there are frequently links to purchase the sheet music of the work, and often a link to a free PDF score if the work is public domain.

All of the music heard is from the ever growing broadcast library of the Organ Media Foundation, which currently holds just shy of 20,000 tracks from more than 1500 albums. The Organ Media Foundation is a listener-support non-profit 501(c)3 organization. All of its broadcasts are free to hear, and are commercial-free.

This newest station joins the Organ Media Foundation’s other two outlets, Organlive.com and PositivelyBaroque.com. All of these stations have their own web players, but are also available on internet radio devices, AppleTV, Roku, Iphone, Ipad, and Android devices. For more information about the Foundation and it’s projects, visit organmedia.org, and to tune in to The Organ Experience, visit organexperience.org.

A Concise History of Organ Development

Organ music today is an essential part of every church service world wide and has become almost synonymous for sacred mu-sic. Become? Hasn't it been like this forever?

No. Looking at organ history you will notice that the church has become the home of the organ rather unintentionally:

•The organ was not invented by a musician but by an engineer named Ktesbios in Alexandria / Egypt in the 3rd century B.C. He built several rows of pipes that could produce different tim-bres. The air pressure needed for this was produced by reproci-cating pumps driven by foot.

•The organ saw its first heyday in the 1st century B.C. when there were even held public organ playing competitions.

•It was the Roman emperor and persecutor of the Christians, Nero, who, in 67 A.D. introduced the organ to Rome, an instru-ment he knew from his Greek teachers. Soon it became a status symbol of Roman upper class.

•Emperor Constantine later brought the organ to the Byzantine Empire. While the Western Roman Empire was lost and with it the organ in Europe as well it still remained a status symbol at the imperial palace in the Byzan-tine Empire (they even had organs with golden pipes ornamented with precious stones) until its fall in 1453. So the organ was the essential instrument in emperor worship for about a thousand years.

•In the Western World it only reappeared in 757 A.D. when King Pippin the Smaller was presented an organ by Byzantine Emperor Constantine V. A century later the first European organ was built in Aachen.

•The church fathers and popes disapproved of musical instruments during church service. This applied espe-cially to the organ being the utmost symbol of worldliness by "imitating the sensually exciting sound of the Au-los" (an ancient double-reed woodwind instrument).

•Still, after the turn of the millennium organs turned up in monasteries, and, from the 13th century more and more in church buildings as well. So, far away from Rome, the organ, due to the special opportunities it offered for teaching music, slowly but surely found its way into the churches.

•As a matter of fact in the 14th century most of the main town churches had an organ. After the council of Mi-lan had agreed to accept the organ as "the only musical instrument that may be used in church services" in 1287 the chapter general of Ferrara in 1290 decided to "ban the playing of the organ during services".

•Between the 14th and the 16th century many improvements were introduced in organ construction, amongst others the pedal. After this time of glory the Reformation brought a new crisis. While Martin Luther supported the use of the organ John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli firmly rejected it. Many organs were destroyed or had to be closed down during church service.

•In the last few centuries the organ advanced to be the main accompanying instrument for church services, mainly through the influence of great composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach. Interestingly organs have never been employed in the Eastern churches.

So the organ is not necessarily the Christian musical instrument even if it has grown to be so in our cultural environment in the last centuries.
