Periodin which almost all the churches in Italy were endowed with an organ. Theold Italian organ, usually had only one keyboard with approximately 12stops but with high-qualityfeatures sound, due to thelow wind pressures. The double keyboard was not heard and when youbegan to realize it was resorted to stop broken. The most used pedalboard was in sixthor 'scavezza' with very short, inclined pedals sothat the tip of the foot couldbe used and in general it was extended to nine pedals. The air pressure,distributed from cuneiform bellows, was extremely low and did not exceed 48 mm at the water column.The Italian organ ofthis period had these featuresbecause it was primarilyintended for liturgy and the accompaniment of people singing in church andthe pedal was used at the end of musical phrases. The peculiaritiesthat were found in the ancient Italian organs, were the fusion of soundand composition filled with stops of the same family.The modern Italianorgan was influenced, in the early 1900s, by the Cecilian churchreform.

The quality of a good audio sampleoriginates from its recording and, for that reason, MidiPipeOrgan, withover twenty years experience hasdeveloped its own recordingtechnique of audio samples in order tomaintain presence and vitalitywithout sacrificing the environmental features of of the church where theorgan is placed. With this technique, samples are natural, withoutsounding too close or too distant, giving the listener the impression ofbeing in the best possible place in the church where the organ is placed.Particular attention has been given to the tail of release of thesample. All the noises produced by the organ are recorded, including themechanical noise of the keys and stops that are reproduced in Hauptwerkwhen the instrument is played. In Hauptwerksoftware the characteristics ofwind pressure of the organ are reproduced. All samples have been recordedstereo with a sampling frequency of 96Khz 24 Bit.The OrgansOrgan: San Giovanni BattistaCity: Atri (Te) - ItaliaYear: 1750 CircaOrgan builder: Adriano FedriStop: 13 and Swell.Keyboards: 1 of 40 KeyPedaboard: 1 of 9 PedalOrgan: Santa Maria Degli AngeliCity: Bisenti (Te) - ItaliaYear: 1985Organ builder: Ponziano BevilacquaStop: 21 and SwellKeyboards: 2 of 58 KeyPedalboard: 1 of 30 Pedal(c) MidiPipeOrgan.com All Rigth Reserved.
