French Baroque Registration

Baroque: no great contrasts of mood, tempo, color, texture

François Couperin, 1668-1733; Pièces d'orgue - 1696

• Plein jeu | fonds 16, 8, 4, 2 + mixture (+ bourdon)
• Plein jeu | fonds 8, 4, 2, mixture, trompettes 8, 4

• Grand jeu | Great: bourdon, mutations, cornet, prestant 4, trompette 8, 4
• Petit jeu | same on positif - cromhorne if no trompette

As a stop, tremulant is inadequate without anything else!

Stop used to be a stop, is now a GO!

Gothic Blokwerk

The music grew out of the instrument; the wrong organ for the music will not be playing the music.

A one stop organ would be a mixture

Prohibit inequality by:

Come Just As You Are

Come just as you are.
Hear the Spirit's call.
Come just as you are.

Come and see, come receive,
Come and live forever.
Life everlasting,
Strength for today.
Taste the living Water
And never thirst again.

Come just as you are.
Hear the Spirit's call.
Come just as you are.
Come.
