Mrs Flewwelling Explains - How to Play a Pump Organ
If you grew up on the Eastern Shore we can pretty much guarantee at least one of your relatives had a pump organ. Maybe your Gram had one in the living room, maybe an uncle had one out in a shed. Maybe you remember playing with it when you were a kid and pulling out the knobs and pumping the pedals.
Memory Lane Heritage Village is home to two of these iconic instruments. One is lovingly located in the parlour of the Webber House. And the other is in the historic Clam Harbour Church where Joan is “pulling out all the stops” as she describes how to play the pump organ.
The organ in this video was originally located in St. Stephens Anglican Church in Ship Harbour, NS.

1880's Mason and Hamlin Pump Organ
One of the most sought after pump organs in original Survivor condition. I just loved playing it, and we thought for days about buying it. After much thought we decided we did not have the space, but what a wonderful instrument. We really hope someone will buy this great organ and give it a home where it can be played once again.

How Pump Organ Works - with Ricky Tims
This is an overview of the general operation of a reed pump organ. Ricky has been playing a weekly piece each Sunday and posting on Facebook (follow him at www.facebook.com/rickytims).

Abide With Me - Hymn - Berlin Reed Organ
Abide With Me has always been one of my favorites, and it was the first hymn I posted on this YouTube channel four years ago on Jan 2, 2009. Since then, I have better recording equipment, and it was asked if I would re-record it again - it didn't take much to twist my arm to play it again... :)

Antique Pump Organs Being Restored by Retired Pastor
Retired pastor Norm Porath has a weakness for old pump organs. He began restoring them a few years ago and it seems when he gets one done, another shows up on his doorstep. Finding homes for a newly restored piece isn’t quite as easy as you might think, but Porath plans to gift an organ to each one of his 13 grandchildren.

Indeed No! You can't play an organ like a piano!
As a result of a few subscriber questions and interest, I'm going to demonstrate the difference between piano and organ fingering technique. They are drastically different and one can NOT play the organ in the same way one plays a piano. Hope you enjoy. The pump organ (also known as parlor or reed organs) was made by the Estey Organ company and features a nice solid oak Gothic revival case and mighty 16" sub bass reeds for that extra punch. This organ is un-restored and in pretty bad shape. Next spring, I hope to complete a total rebuild. Thanks for watching.

I played for a friend's wedding this past weekend in Kansas City, MO USA. A beautiful and heavily decorated Packard organ was used, this organ has some serious power!

The piece is called Highland Cathedral that was used as a processional. This was recorded with just an iPhone during my practice before the wedding, thanks Lori for recording it!

John Adams' Harmonium
The 1981 premiere of John Adams' "Harmonium" signaled the arrival of a major new talent. A "choral symphony" based on poems by John Donne and Emily Dickinson, this piece marked Adams' pursuit of a new path as a composer, one that employed some of the techniques of minimalism in service of a new harmonic language. Recorded on 12/08/2019. [Show ID: 35504]

Harmonium (1980) and Shaker Loops (1978) represent my first mature statements in a language that was born out of my initial exposure to Minimalism. From the very start my own brand of Minimalism began to push the envelope. What was orderly and patiently evolving in the works of Reich or Glass was in my works already subject to violent changes in gesture and mood...
Harmonium was composed in 1980 in a small studio on the third floor of an old Victorian house in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Those of my friends who knew both the room and the piece of music were amused that a piece of such spaciousness should emerge from such cramped quarters. The title of the work was all that survived from my initial intention to set poems from Wallace Stevens’s collection of the same name. After I realized that Stevens’s language and rhythmic sense was not my own, I cast far and wide for a text to satisfy a musical image that I had in mind. That image was one of human voices–many of them–riding upon waves of rippling sound. Ultimately I settled on three poems of transcendental vision. “Negative Love” by John Donne examines the qualities of various forms of love, ascending in the manner of Plato’s Symposium, from the carnal to the divine. I viewed this “ascent” as a kind of vector, having both velocity and direction. Musically, this meant a formal shape that began with a single, pulsing note (a D above middle C) that, by the process of accretion, becomes a tone cluster, then a chord, and eventually a huge, calmly rippling current of sound that takes on energy and mass until it eventually crests on an immense cataract of sound some ten minutes later. To date, I still consider “Negative Love” one of the most satisfying architectural experiments in all my work.
The two Dickinson poems show the polar opposites of her poetic voice. “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” is the intimate, hushed Dickinson, whose beyond-the-grave monologue is a sequence of images from a short life, a kind of pastoral elegy expressed through the lens of a slow-motion camera. Like Aaron Copland before me, I unknowingly set the bowdlerized version of the original, being unaware at the time that the poet’s original version differed significantly in syntax from the more smoothed-out, conventional version made by Thomas Wentworth Higginson.
Following the last palpitations of the slow movement the music enters a transition section, a kind of bardo stage between the end of one life and the beginning of a new one. Again, as in “Negative Love,” the music gradually assumes weight, force and speed until it is hurled headlong into the bright, vibrant clangor of “Wild Nights.” Here is the other side of Emily Dickinson, saturated with an intoxicated, ecstatic, pressing urge to dissolve herself in some private and unknowable union of eros and death. The metaphors, at once violent and sexually hypercharged, play upon the image of a “heart in port”, secure and out of danger from the wild storm-tossed sea. So much has been written about Emily Dickinson, and her mysterious persona has been subjected to so much speculative analysis, that it is always a shock to encounter these texts alone and away from any kind of exegesis.

0:00 1. Negative Love. A warm, pulsating cluster of sound slowly builds
2:31 The chorus takes up a sweet soft melody under luminous string harmonics, growing to an epic climax at 4:11
4:16 A more optimistic section, traveling through several "harmonic gates"
5:24, 6:08 Frantic tremolos and arpeggios behind a relentless driving chorus
8:01 An agitated crescendo into a huge climax at 8:54 before...
9:08 ...a suddenly calm ending with mellow horns and bright ostinatos
10:29 2. Because I Could Not Stop for Death. Bittersweet clusters underline a somber choral melody
12:58 The sound warms up as the chorus takes up a light, free-floating melody
14:28 A strong sense of nostalgia imbues the music (16:22, 17:28 glowingly beautiful timbre and harmony here)
18:04 The bitter sound of the beginning of the movement returns (19:39 the cowbells and chorus here create such a wonderful soundscape)
