RENAISSANCE 450 SECTION II

GREAT ORGAN

continued:

Mixture IV Four rank mixture, a compound stop of principal tones.

Four notes in octave and fifth relationships sounding

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 Three rank mixture, comprised of principal tones. Each

note produces three distinct pitches at octave and fifth

relationships to the key being pressed. Tradition is to

never use the Cymbale III without also using stops of

lower pitches. It is typically added to Diapason or Flute

ensembles after the Mixture IV has been engaged.

16’ Double Trumpet Rich sounding chorus reed that provides a solid base for

the Great Reed Chorus.

8’ Tromba Harmonically full, more like trombone tone than

trumpet tone. Excellent reed chorus building voice and

will offer a less bright reed solo voice.

Tremulant Creates a quivering or shimmering of the Great Division

voices. This drawknob must be engaged along with the

TREMULANTS FULL stop to create the larger tremulant.

Great/Pedal expression shoe.
