"full play"The free polyphony of angels. Plein jeu is an organ stop composed‚ of several rows of organ pipes that on one note of the keyboard,are speaking simultaneously.It is considered the classic typical‚ organ sound.This blend of sounds consists of‚ gradually smaller and smaller pipes that‚ produce a fairly loud sound, almost beyond the human hearing threshold. In Italy, its similar corresponding stop is‚ called Ripieno. With this stop, “plein jeu" or "prlude have also become precise‚ forms of music, mainly homogeneous tracks in binary or‚ quaternary time. They are like introducers' songs and‚ make use of ample and‚ severe records.HARMONIC EVOLUTION SUBJECT: Lemon, Ginger, Black Pepper and MimosaBACK SUBJECT: Olibanum, Amber and JasmineTAIL: Cedar, Balsam Fir, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Vetiver, and Patchouli.

Almost every organist has heard of the Bamboo Organ in Las Piñas, much as they have heard of Roman hydraulic organs, as an oddity they would like one day to see and play. However the Bamboo Organ is very real and functioning instrument built in the classic Spanish style. Padre Diego Cera began work on the organ in 1816, while the church was still under construction. Having previously built organs in Manila with some organ stops made of bamboo, he decided to built one using only bamboo for the pipes. Bamboo was abundant in the area and used for hundreds of items. The organ was first heard in 1821 yet without the horizontal trumpets. He completed the work in 1824 after finally deciding to use metal for the horizontal trumpets whose character of sound he could not get with bamboo resonators. These bamboo resonators now stand as the rear facade pipes of the organ. The final result conforms very closely to the classic Mediterranean organ, built in a style that essentially looked backward to the eighteenth century. It has one manual, divided registers with separate knobs for the bass and treble, horizontal trumpets in the facade, a few short pull-down pedal notes plus of course a few of the favorite effects: Pajaritos and the Tambor. Finnish organist Kalevi Kiviniemi It is a curious fact that the sound of many Spanish and Italian organs built quite late in this tradition have a unique charm, only emphasized in the Bamboo Organ by the choice of the material. Down through the years, earthquakes and typhoons damaged both church and organ. The first repairs were still done by Fr. Cera and later by locals who were trained by the builder himself. At the start of the 20th century, the organ is hardly playable. Several attempts were made just to keep it playing until an inevitable restoration is badly needed after the Second World War. In 1972, through the efforts of the CICM priests of St. Joseph's Parish, Fr. Mark Lessage and Fr. Leo Renier, a contract for restoration was awarded to Johannes Klais Orgelbau of Bonn, Germany. The entire instrument was disassembled and shipped to Germany in 1973 and was restored under climatic conditions simulating those at Las Piñas. While the restoration of the organ was taking place in Germany, the church and grounds were restored to their original state with the help of the entire parish community. The restored organ returned home in March 1975 to a joyous welcome by the people of the Philippines. Since then the scene of many concert festivals, the Bamboo Organ is described by international organ masters as one of the finest old organs in the world. Its construction of bamboo is noted as being one of the major factors that gives it a truly unique and lively sound.

Saying Goodbye. My 1942 Schantz Pipe Organ, which I've restored, rebuilt, played, owned and loved since 1992 has been sold and is on it's way to Texas. I will greatly miss the beautiful, sweet sound of that organ, and the reliability of it's mechanics. It was a pleasure to play and listen to. Just a couple years ago, Mormon Tabernacle Organist Clay Christiansen played it during a visit to our house. He was impressed, remarking that "it is as versatile as an organ many, many times it's size!" Prelude. In 1992 I learned about the closing and sale of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Barberton, Ohio. I remembered a nice little pipe organ that barely worked anymore, which I had played in that church for a wedding in 1988, four years earlier. After many inquiries and losing out and getting back in, I was eventually able to purchase the organ, a Schantz pipe organ, for $900.00. A long-held dream of mine, to have a pipe organ at home, a "Hausorgel", was finally coming to fruition! Offertory. I lived in Akron at the time in a small Cape Cod styled home. There wasn't really room for a church pipe organ there, so I insulated, drywalled, and heated my garage. I built a chamber for the pipes, chests, and reservoir, a sound-dampening enclosure for the Zephyr blower, and lights over the console to read music by. Over time, I made several modifications and upgrades, including adding three ranks of pipes, reconfiguring the stoplists, and converting the original stop control system to a Peterson Electro Musical Products solid state multiplex switching system. Special Music. The Schantz pipe organ gave me many, many years of enjoyment and was a source of happiness in my life and in the lives of many in the community. A second installation in my father's building allowed us to host silent movies, such as the 1927 Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Cheney, and other silent movies starring Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Laurel & Hardy. We had nearly 100 people packed in many times while we'd project the silent movie and I would provide accompaniment from the organ console, improvising a soundtrack for the movie. Postlude. In 2012 I purchased a small Wicks pipe organ, called the Wicks Fuga De Luxe. It's a four-rank pipe organ, contained in a beautiful cabinet. I immediately knew it would "fit" in our home, and I wouldn't have to drive to a different location in another town to play my Schantz. The difficult decision was made to sell the Schantz. I am so happy that it is going back into church work, to lead congregations and choirs in praising the Heavenly Father in song. Under the expert care of Paul Jernigan and Shawn Sanders of Pipe Organ Technicians of Houston, the Schantz will be so well taken care of and will be refitted to a new purpose. It was my honor to know this organ so well, to share so much music with it, and to be able to learn on it, teach on it, and share it's power and beauty with countless friends, family, and audiences. I've made a YouTube video of pictures of the organ and a soundtrack of me playing Brother James' Air on this organ, as set by Dale Wood.
