"I think Kenneth Tickell and his team have triumphantly reinvented English Cathedral organ design for the 21st Century. The coloured one on the left is for a Nicholson organ and the one on the right is Ken Tickell's design. 2. Look at how often French composers ask for Hautbois with Recit fonds.Back to Hill, I found this page that shows how fast the ideas evolve today.It's about a 1913 Hill in Melbourne, disfigured in 1960, but with a quite happyYes- I know this work. Even with my own organ here in Auckland the 1977 neo-Baroque reeds work well with the older romantic Great registers in this way as long as the box is not fully opened. The fine and comparitively recently installed Nicholson organ on the choir screen still speaks largely into this part of the building. There are a few smaller ones near by, some of which are in remarkably original condition. In any event, the proposed two instruments are some way apart from each other.I should update my "database" -rather piles of papers- about areas that were "Terra incognita" in the 70's ( with something like a wall in the way...). Adrian Paul Lucas, b. I agree the organ after the rebuild in the 1970's made a wonderful sound, but on hearing it recently it sounds tired and loosing wind.I know little of the Worcester Cathedral organ, but I guess that the need for two organs is based on the fact that many of our cathedral main organs were designed to speak into the choir (or quire if you prefer it) and not so much into the knave. Actually, he gave many arguments to the "Orgelbewebung" to destroy late-romantic organs, including better than Hope-Jones's!But I believe we do need to respect all the previous milestones in history -with special care for what we do not like-.When I visited Worcester, anyone there agreed the Hope-Jones flue stops that were still in use to be particularly beautiful. Worcester has no pulpitum (stone choir screen) and hence, as I described above, the present organ is largely contained in the divided north/south cases in the quire. You could not play Bach nor even Mendelssohn on it.
Even in Cavaillé-Coll organs, despite the french "Truth" that states, since at least the 18th century, "there will never be any Tierce in the Plein-jeu". Stephen Bicknell makes some fine points in his wonderful book on English organ history as well.It amuses me how people rant on about the Harrison & Harrison pipework but forget about the William Hill & Son material which is still extant- which I would of thought was more historically valuable. Hill's contemporaries stuck to Quint mixtures too. Even the old ladies kept silent.... Now there is a modern Grenzig. But isn't the new organ scheme just a logical progression of the ongoing organ history of this and so many other Cathedrals. H-J was no genuine organ-builder, rather an outsider who carried new ideas.Of course, we do not need to see Worcester as a Hope-Jones organ, it is an hotch-potch. Worcester Cathedral, Worcester Unlike Salisbury, Worcester Cathedral is today the most complete surviving example of Sir George Gilbert Scott’s refitting of a cathedral choir. Look at the spec of Sydney Town Hall. It's about a 1913 Hill in Melbourne, disfigured in 1960, but with a quite happy end in 1996. Up to about 20 years ago, we had an organ of the same kind in Brussel's cathedral: an hotch-potch where nearly all belgian romantic builders had worked.It was an huge Choir organ, nothing for recitals. It is a real hotch-potch and certainly does not have the artistic integrity of other organs such as the Willis in Hereford or the Walker in Bristol.I do agree that, if there is a real need to start afresh, we should at least be delighted that the contracts are going to two British builders.I can understand the requirement for two organs. I think this may be ab error. Would it be necessarily more expansive than two new organs?

These are to be found in Germany too.Remember this : Schulze organs, Cavaillé-Coll organs were also "disasters". (Kindly provided by Relf Clark, 1993).
Until recently there was a large four-manual organ, originally built by Hope Jones. It was extremely good as accompaniment for the voices, with that "magic" I talked about above. Possaune) create an unforgetable experience.It does seem hard to believe that this pipe work is to be scrapped. There's an excellent article on this organ in a Sydney Organ Journal of around 2000. “Copies of letters already received (Oct 30 ’96) by The Electric Organ Co Ltd relating to the new Hope-Jones Electric Organ in Worcester Cathedral”. It is pecularly british, tough the french organ can display something of the kind, but the difference lies with the mixture. Slightly different, isn't it?We absolutely need to reconstitute this one; of course, in order to stay historically correct, we also need to reconstitute the iceberg as well. Samuel Hudson takes over the role following the departure of Peter Nardone earlier this year. As Christopher Kent has pointed out it was the Hill organs (Transept & Choir) for which the Elgar Sonata was composed. A NEW director of music and organist has been appointed at Worcester Cathedral. One of them had an almost identical "stirrup" method of manual blowing to that described and pictured in the documentation which is left of the Doncaster one.Interesting: the metal pipes were already made of zinc!I would rather doubt that the pipes are made of zinc myself.
