Section
I
Octave 4’
The 4’ member of the Great principal chorus,
which consists of the Diapason 8’, Octave 4’, and
Superoctave 2’.
Spitzflöte 4’
Partially stopped flute tone.
Superoctave 2’
An open metal stop that produces foundation tone
at the 2’ pitch level.
Waldflöte 2’
Open flute tone at 2’ pitch level.
Mixture IV
A compound stop of principal tones. Four notes in
octave and fifth relationships sound together when
a single key is depressed. As pitches progress
upward, they “break” back to the next lower octave
or fifth. Used to cap the Great principal chorus,
adding brilliance and pitch definition throughout
the entire compass.
Cymbale III
Compound stop of principal tones. One key
produces three distinct pitches at octave and fifth
relationships to the key being pressed. The
Cymbale III should never be used without stops of
lower pitches. It is typically added to Diapason or
Flute ensembles after the Mixture IV.
Krummhorn 8’
The tone quality of the shawm, a medieval
ancestor of the clarinet, is the basis for this light,
bright, nasal reed. It can be used alone as a solo or
combined with light flues for a somewhat rounder
reed solo effect.
Chimes
Typical Tubular Chimes.
Tremulant
Same as Tremulant in Swell, but affects stops in
the Great and Pedal, except for the bottom octave
in both divisions.
