Help me understand my pipe organ tastes.
I don't like big organs (haha)
Basically I like small intimate stops, whether they be meditative string like stops, or bubbly little flute like stops. What I most dislike is your standard 8 4 2 1 principals with that big most easily identifiable sound.
I also only really like rennaisance and early baroque music.
So, is there any congruity to what I like.
Is very early organ music (rennaisance and early baroque) like that by Gabrielli and Claudio Merulo , and perhaps someone like Pachelbel typically suited to smaller organs and less dramatic and dense registrations? And are the early organs typically relatively smaller than those of the mid to late baroque and onwards?
Please excuse my ignorant terminology on some of this. I'm just trying to be understood.
Thoughts?
