- W190114986 abstract "The organ is in a continued state of evolution,tonally and mechanically, designed by the builder to meet certainexpectations related to the musical aesthetics of the time. Organbuilding in the United States has been influenced by both Europeanorgan building traditions and American innovations. During theearly twentieth century, Ernest M. Skinner emerged as one of thegreatest organ builders in America. Throughout his life, Skinner'squest was to create an ideal organ, capable of playing a varietyof music. Skinner's vision was rooted in the Romantic Movement andinfluenced by the dynamic gradations and rich, colorful sonoritiesof orchestral and operatic music of the era. A number oftechnological developments were applied to the design of the organwhich made the romantic organ possible. The prominent Europeanorgan builders of the nineteenth century created organs thatdefined the romantic-style instrument in their respectivecountries. By the end of the century, American organ builders werecreating their own versions. Skinner traveled to Europe to learnwhat he could from the foreign builders. Skinner built organs thatsynthesized European and American elements, along with his owninnovations, as continuation of nineteenth-century trends thatbrought the romantic-symphonic organ to its fullest realization.Additionally, Skinner developed many new organ timbres, including anumber of stops that imitate various orchestral instruments. Theresult of Skinner's creative work is the the American symphonicorgan. This paper attempts to illustrate how the tonal designs oforgans built by Walcker, Cavaille-Coll, and Willis influenced thework of Skinner and the American symphonic organ. The work of eachbuilder is discussed with descriptions of their designs. Thedesigns and innovations of Skinner are examined as related to theseEuropean builders. A number of organ specifications are provided tosupplement the information presented here. Today, Americansymphonic organs, particularly those built by Skinner, are reveredfor their warmth and charm and are inspiring the work of presentday organ builders who are incorporating elements of this styleinto their own designs." @default.
