Playing the Rodgers Parallel Digital Imaging™ Organs
Using this book.
The Organ is one of the oldest musical instruments. It comes to us with a
heritage of musical thought and composition. Many of us can trace the
path of our organ studies back through Bach and even earlier. The organ
has challenged composers for centuries who have delighted in its sounds,
the soft, delicate sounds, and the majesty of the organ in full roar.
To help you explore the musical possibilities of the Rodgers 790C
organ, we have created this book as a map that explores places for you to
go, things to see. Before taking a trip it is helpful to study a guide book and
get an idea of what you want to do when you get there. Some people find
themselves in places and then buy a guide book to figure out what they are
seeing every day. This book is the same; it can serve as an introduction to
the instrument or provide deeper insight for the person who is already
playing a Rodgers Organ.
What places are we going to visit? Rather than museums and cof-
fee houses, we are going to visit music. Music that we can play. Music that
explores the sound of the voices of this organ.
You do not need to read this book or the owner’s manual to play
the organ. The Rodgers is designed as a straightforward classical organ,
built to AGO standards, which means that everything is laid out in a logical
place and that the console is ergonomically designed to ease playing of the
manuals and pedals. The AGO design was established in the mid 20th-
century long before ‘ergonomic’ became a household word.
Organs which rely on electricity for power and control often have a
window into the workings of the organ, in this case we call it a Display
Window. When you power the organ up, it displays a wait message. When
the organ is prepared for playing, the Transposer Window appears. This
window also gives you access into the organ to assist you in configuring the
organ to suit your playing as well as to permit you to control MIDI devices
that may be attached to the insturment.
We have enjoyed writing this book and invite you to write us. Thank
you!
