The Schnitger organ in Uithuizen | Netherlands Bach Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Arp Schnitger was a famous organ builder in northern Germany in the late 17th and early 18th century. The Schnitger organ in Uithuizen (Groningen, The Netherlands) is one of its best preserved instruments to date. During the recording session for All of Bach we made this short documentary in which organists Albert Gramsbergen, Reitze Smits and Peter Kofler tell about the history and the unique characteristics of this instrument.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 17th July 2019 at Uithuizen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
All of Bach is a project of the Netherlands Bach Society / Nederlandse Bachvereniging, offering high-quality film recordings of the works by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society and its guest musicians.

Organ: Arp Schnitger, ca. 1700
A very interesting demonstration of a lovely instrument. Schnitger really did establish the character and parameters of what we now know as the classic pipe organ.
Thanks to everyone. 👍 ❤️
One wonders about some statements:
“ and he [Schnitger] was a keen businessman. His organs went as far as Brazil.”
02:03
Sure, Schnitger was a businessman, and probably one can describe him with “keen”, too, even if that sounds like a modern neoliberal characterisation.
But no delivery of an organ to Brazil by Schnitger is known (not to speak of several organs):
The organ that is nowadays in Mariana (Brazil) was donated to Brazil in 1752. Schnitger died in 1719, 33 years before.
Furthermore, the organ in Mariana is certainly an instrument from the Schnitger tradition.
But, it might have been made by Schnitger’s former journeyman Johann Hinrich Ulenkampf (Uhlenkampf, name in Portuguese: Joâo Henriques Hulencampo), based on his previous experiences in the Schnitger workshop, or it may have been a joint venture with Schnitger. But to which degree Schnitger was involved - if he was involved at all - is not known!
It should also be noted, that the organ in UIthuizen, despite its state of preservation, is not in meantone temperament, the only temperament that Schnitger demonstrably can be shown to have used in new and old organs, large and small organs, everywhere and throughout his output!
Schnitger's temperament practice - that was not different from other builders' practice in his day and the regions he served - would not have been suitable for much of Bach's output (of course Bach would have improvised as professional organists did back then).
In this respect the organ in Uithuizen does not sound like Schnitger's sound concept anymore. It is of course not alone in this: The only instruments by Schnitger that in this respect today give a rather reliable portrait of his sound concept are the rather small organs in Hollern, Eenum, and the somewhat larger organ, that he rebuild in Lüdingworth.
One wonders about the choice of repertoire and instrument for this piece.
(That said, it should be noted, that I am not criticising Peter Kofler's performance itself!)
Excellent excellent video. I have always wanted to learn more about how organs work.
Aarrrrgh!! Too short! The video stopped just as it was getting (more) interesting!
Exactly!
Beautiful video.Escape from dull reality.Thank you.
Maravilloso lugar; maravilloso instrumento.
¡Gracias una vez más, NBS!
2:02 "His organs went as far as Brazil" - for example in Mariana, MG, Brazil, there is an organ Arp Schnitger. Here is a recorded concert on it: watch?v=vC09GBgn_w8
Dank wel aan Netherlands Bach Society voor deze fantastisch video.

Really interesting. Very important the soft pressing of the keys. It makes a difference when you have to play allegro or vivace tempi.
Amazing as always!
Mijn favoriete Schnitger-orgel!
3:18 is a nice description of how a tracker organ works. Thank you!
Lovely - very clear explanation and lovely tone in the organ playing
Bellissimo video, un vero giogiello musicale.
Thanks! This was great. I hope you have more in store abut the instruments (other organs, cembalo, violins etc.).
Amazing!
very interesting, thank you
We wait Bach 658 please...

¡Gran contribución para educarnos con los detalles tecnológicos de los órganos!
Me gustaría ver más videos complementarios: por ejemplo cómo funcionaba el sistema para alimentar de aire a los órganos. Supongo que ahora hay compresoras electrónicas pero antes alguien tendría que operar los fuelles. ¿Quiénes eran, dónde estaban : en el sótano, junto al instrumento, en una cabina?
Material para una novela estilo El Jorobado de Nuestra Señora de Paris.
¡Sí! Pero puedes encontrar videos de viejos órganos en otro lugar de UA-cam, si buscas, así ua-cam.com/video/b03Pes5JAm8/v-deo.html
Very interesting video thank's🍃
Een beetje bescheidenheid had wel gekund meneer Gramsbergen. In de aankondiging is inderdaad juist vermeld dat er 2 organisten meewerken aan deze documentaire. Als derde persoon is de heer Gramsbergen toegevoegd als amateur-organist.
Ok, alle Menschen:
Just quit yet bellyaching
and pony up some money to Nederlands Bach Society!
Yes, your scholarly thoughts are valued.
However, the excellent work of the Dutch Bach scholars and performers are feeding us.
Support this gorgeous team/effort, and continue your conversation thanking THEM!!
👍🙏💕
Are you guys from the Dutch Bible Belt? This channel is great.
All over the country organ has
always played a whide-spread and important role in religious culture in The Netherlands,
that goes for all parts of the country.
Since the revival of authentic practicing
renaissance and barock music
in the 1960-ties in this country (and later on in global western music culture) , a revival has taken place as well as a recognision
of the many historic organs
build in the 17th and 18th century and behind in The Netherlands.
No it is not from the Bible Belt but from the Bach Belt in the Netherlands
Why are there those small dots on the white keys?
Before it became a conventional organ with many ranks, it was part of an ancient game, vaguely like dominoes, but using sound, and with all the tiles being the same, three-dot plus one-dot; and played before anyone had thought of making the pieces separately moveable.
The rules, unfortunately, are lost in the mists of antiquity, but there is a theory that each of the two players had charge of one manual, and were blindfolded, hearing the 'score' of their opponent's play, and then responding by a note or a chord whose score was in someway derived from the varied combinations of the dot-values of the keys. It wasn't a case of crudely making more points than the other player: pitch and interval sizes are thought to have had importance, and everything was context-based, i.e. a winning chord in one game could be a losing chord in the middle of another. Very complex, anyway, whatever the rules, perhaps in parallel with the great grammatical complexities of early North European languages.
Some etymologists say that this is the origin of the word 'score' in music.
@@robwilde855 Hahaah. They do resemble domino piecesXD. A game fit for fools, ..ehh, Kings i meanXD. I heard it was a game that came from the far east. The black keys were actually "chips" you toss it in the opponents face during the game and yell "FISHES" to ante up the stake. It's also the precursor to modern day Backgammon, or so i heardXD.
Are the pieces played in this video from Bach?
No, I think these are just spontaneous improvisations to demonstrate the organ.
Except for the piece played at the beginning of this video (Von Gott will Ich nicht lassen, BWV 658) all fragments are improvisations by the organists indeed.
