Organ (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2348 words) |
 | The introduction of church organs is traditionally attributed to Pope Vitalian in the seventh century. |
| Today this organ may be a pipe organ, either with electronic controls or a tracker organ with all mechanical controls; or it may be an electronic organ which synthicizes the sound with computer chips. |
| However, as classical organ repertoire was developed for the church organ and in turn influenced its development, the line between a church and a concert organ is hard to draw. |
| Organ recital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (266 words) |
| The venues for organ recitals using those instruments are thus the churches, theatres, or halls where the organs are housed. |
| However, with some organs the console is portable to a limited extent (such as, for example, being attached to a platform that can be raised or lowered, which is often the case for theatre organs, but rarely the case for church organs). |
| The Dane and Polly Bales Organ Recital Hall at the University of Kansas was specifically constructed for organ recitals. |
