We. Have a lady of the hermit Switzer days into a European organ with some facts of musical and historical interest. Music composed by men who were contemporaries of it. The Monastery of Ein sit down is very ancient founded in the year 1934
by Iraq's trust board. There's no heated on a no at an elevation of about 3000 feet. One of us was camped out even today. It's an important place of worship and each year attracts thousands of pilgrims. The greater portion of this Benedictine monastery which we have visiting dates from the Baroque period is built by the monks during the 18th century. But the year 16 74 Actually it marked the beginning of the new construction. The Abbey Church which is some three hundred and twenty five feet long was consecrated in 1735. It was not until 17 7 day that the other buildings were completed. The church is considered to be one of the finest examples of baroque architecture in north of the Alps. It's well known that the famous monastery an auto buyer in Germany another of the great examples of baroque architecture became an inspiration for and was used as a model by the monks of the down. The president organ and the abbé is only the latest of a long series of noble instruments
which have been housed there. The earliest having been mentioned as early as 13 14. It was built and erected between the years 1750 and 1754 by Victor fed non Bostock. One member of the famous Bostock family of organ builders from the town of bear it's composed of 30 stops distributed among two manuals and we will now hear some tonal examples of this instrument. First is the eight foot board on the manual with a 16 foot board on and the eight foot float in the petal. The second example illustrates the eight and four foot loads together with a four
foot flute on the plaza Dave. Now we hear the eight foot board on the four foot float and the two octave on the great manual.
Our quote example contrasts the eight foot diet Paisan on two
manuals played with the 16 foot Bodog and the eight foot principle in the pedal. Our next example uses the same registration we have just heard but two it has been added.
The four foot octave on each of the two contrasting manuals. For example sex again contrasts the rape manual with the positive using the
mixture stops added to the registration we heard in our previous example. The next only example demonstrates the full Buggins of the entire organ. But without
the reed stops. Note about the addition of the mixture stop in the pedal combination. The concluding tonal example illustrates the whole organ with all Reed stops and the
manual. Down Switzerland when I hear the chorale previewed by Johann Sebastian Bach.
