by Vincent Rioux Study of the art of voicing organ pipes was undertaken at Chalmers University of Technology in collaboration with GoArt. Reported in English as his doctoral dissertation in applied acoustics, Rioux worked with an organ workshop engaged principally in the reconstruction of Baroque organs, gathering descriptions obtained from an expert voicer and comparing them with physical analyses made on experimental pipes or psychological analyses made on a pool of test participants. He was able to produce a structured list of words and phrases suitable for the description of flue organ pipe sounds. 200 pages, softbound |
