Organothymedia: Reflections on the enjoyment of the pipe organ.
George R. Plitnik · Journal of the Acoustical Society of Japan (E) · 1992
This tutorial explores the almost universal appeal which the pipe organ, in instrument unique to Western culture, exerts on the hearts and minds of humans.The subject is approached from five different perspectives:the musicologist, the listener, pipe organ craftsmen, the orgainst, and the scientist seeking to understand the physics of pipe tone production.From these variegated viewpoints a common unifying theme emerges; each in his own way, discovers intrinsic enjoyment and fulfillment in the expression of his art.
