I am very pleased to release what will be my last jOrganVPO for quite some
time - the KOGARAH TWO. This is an extended version of the VPO I released
earlier in the year, which although having good basic stops, is deficient in
having no upperwork at all, and in having no stops of the Principal family
in the Swell Department. In this extended version it can be said that there
are 22 speaking stops and 7 couplers.
In making the KOGARAH TWO, I have made use of the Great Principal 4' samples
from KOGARAH, to produce the Great Twelfth 2 2/3' (perfectly tuned), the
Great Fifteenth 2' and the Swell Mixture IV (perfectly tuned quints). This
mixture, which is intended to add fulness of tone rather than extreme
briliance, has also been made available on the Great by the use of what is
effectively a coupler to that stop. The Swell Voix Celestes 8' has been
produced by adjusting the levels and pitches of samples of the Swell
Salicional 8' from KOGARAH. The top octave sounds in the 2' stops and
similar pitches in the Swell Mixture IV are produced from samples in the
WEST PENNANT HILLS VPO, since the pipe organ at Kogarah has no sounds higher
than the top octave of the Great Principal 4'.
Early in the year I recorded every second note of three stops in the Swell
of the tracker pipe organ at St Edmund’s Anglican Church in Pagewood, a
Sydney suburb. I was the minister of that church from 1981 to 1994. Those
stops are the Open Diapason 8', Gemshorn 4' and Trompette 8'. The two flue
stops are almost certainly from a pipe organ made by E.F. Walcker of
Ludwigsberg in the mid-1880's, and originally installed in the chapel of the
Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, a major Sydney hospital. I used the Gemshorn
4' samples to produce the Swell Fifteenth 2'. I do not know the origin of
the Trompette 8', which in this VPO I have placed in the Great (the Swell
already has the Oboe 8'), and given it the name “Trumpet”.
To the Pedal I have added a Trombone 16', produced from the Trompette 8'
samples and using one of the low samples to derive the bottom octave of
notes. The three other additional stops, Principal 8', Bass Flute 8' and
Choral Bass 4' have been derived by extension from appropriate Great stops.
