We aimed for the new organ in \u0160entvid pri Sti\u010dni to reflect the essence of late Romantic period organs, along with their various influences. To achieve this, in November 2021, Luka Posavec<\/a> and Ale\u0161 Razpotnik<\/a> visited the German town of Hoffenheim, where they partly documented the world-famous organ of the master Eberhard Friedrich Walcker<\/a> (1794-1872) from 1846. Walcker’s organ is internationally recognised for its sound uniqueness and is considered one of the finest organs of the time. They inventoried four registers or about 200 pipes, which will be reproduced for the \u0160entvid pri Sti\u010dni organ in the Mo\u010dnik Organ Workshop.<\/p>\n

The cultural legacy of the Walcker Organ Workshop has significantly influenced the contemporary perspective on organ building, shaping the landscape of organ construction today, including in Slovenia. In Slovenia, Walcker’s ideas were taken up, among others, by the organ builder Franc Gor\u0161i\u010d from Ljubljana (1836-1898).<\/p>\n

The visit and study of Walcker’s organ in Hoffenheim was repeated in March 2022 by Luka Posavec<\/a> and Ale\u0161 Razpotnik,<\/a> accompanied by Toma\u017e Mo\u010dnik and his colleagues.<\/p>\n

In shaping the sound profile of the new instrument, we sought to build on and stylistically expand the sound design of the \u0160entvid old organ from 1912, crafted by the Mayer brothers’ organ workshop. The new sound frame is partly inspired by the masterpiece that our renowned organ builder Franc Gor\u0161i\u010d<\/a> (1836-1898) installed in 1891 in the Ursuline Church in Ljubljana, and is considered to be his best work. Contributing significantly to the sound design of the new organ were Prof. Dr. h.c. Christoph Bossert and Jan Dole\u017eel from the University of Music W\u00fcrzburg, as well as Prof. Martin Sturm from the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar.<\/p>\n

From Vipava to \u0160entvid pri Sti\u010dni<\/h2>\n

During the plannning phase of the new organ, a unique opportunity appeared. In the Vipava parish, after the installation of the new instrument (Op. 11, 2005), the Mo\u010dnik Organ Workshop bought old pipes from 1892, which were made by Franc Gor\u0161i\u010d as his 57th work.<\/p>\n

It turned out that we could incorporate a total of 14 registers or sound colours from the old Gor\u0161i\u010d organ from Vipava. Among these registers, ten were metal pipes of high quality, made before 1892 in the German organ workshop Gebr\u00fcder Link, and four registers were made of wood that Franc Gor\u0161i\u010d bought at his supplier in the Tuhinj valley.<\/p>\n

As a tribute to the famous 19th-century German organ builder Eberhardu Friedrichu Walckerju<\/a> (1794-1872), the new organ in \u0160entvid pri Sti\u010dni will contain the five sound colours of the world-famous organ in Hoffenheim. We also shouldn\u2019t forget the virtually untouched technical gem of Slovenian late Romanticism, the organ in the Ljubljana Cathedral from 1911, which is the largest and most important work of Ivan Milavec (1873-1915). From this organ, we will imitate the rare sound colour called Kvintaten or Quintat\u00f6n, which was pioneered in our area by Ivan Milavec.<\/p>\n

This way, the organ in \u0160entvid pri Sti\u010dni will revive ideas about the aesthetics of sound that were present in the 19th century, both in our region and in the wider region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1584,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[85,86],"lokacija":[],"orglar":[],"class_list":["post-1954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pipe-organ-in-the-church-of-st-vid-in-sentvid-pri-sticni","tag-consulting","tag-design-and-planning","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1954"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2445,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1954\/revisions\/2445"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1954"},{"taxonomy":"lokacija","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lokacija?post=1954"},{"taxonomy":"orglar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organistica.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/orglar?post=1954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
