Bâti par: C.B. Fisk Inc. (1984) - opus 85


  • Charles Fisk built his opus 85 for Stanford University. He could not finish the work, because he died just before completion. The organ is located in Memorial Church on the university campus. The design was made in collaboration with Harald Vogel. Vogel developed a 1/5-point temperament especially for this organ, derived from the temperament of the Reichel organ in the Marktkirche in Halle (Germany) from 1664. Thanks to a special installation and the addition of five pipes per octave, it is made possible to switch to an equal temperament when desired. This is done entirely mechanically. The Brustwerk is constructed with a short octave and is permanently tuned n meantone. Besides the organ in Halle, inspiration has also been gained in Bückeburg (Compenius organ from 1615) and Dresden (Schlosskirche, 1614). The Brustwerk is largely a copy of the Brustwerk of the Stellwagen organ in the Jakobikirche in Lübeck. The Rückpositiv is set up in two cases. Various manual registers can also be used on the pedal. On June 6, 1984 the organ was inaugurated with a concert by Herbert Nanney.
  • Since 1901, the church had an organ by Murray M. Harris that was to be demolished. However, it has remained and is now being used again.
