St James, Denchworth: organ The organ was invented by Ctesibius of Alexandria, a third century BC engineer. Fragments from one early organ in Pompeii are now in the Museo Nazionale, Naples. The first definition is provided by St. Augustine: “apropryte to the Instrument that is made of many pypes: and blowe with belowes." In 757, Emperor Constantine Copronymus sent an organ as a gift to Pepin, King of the Franks. By 1474, S. Petronio, Bologna, had a full scale 50 note organ with 9 stops. The low pipes in the largest cathedral organs produced some of the lowest sounds ever created by man. Perhaps predictably, given its extraordinary capabilities, a somewhat persistent element in the history of the organ is various puritan's criticism of it. Writers from Cicero to Milton saw it as a temptation away from virtue and reason. Nevertheless they continued to grow in range, power and tone. By the 19th century there was a vast amount of music for the organ. And to play it on? As many as 200 stops and 10,647 pipes….
