CHAPTER III.
A FEW INTERESTING TONE COLOURS.
HE following is a list of tone combinations and effects which have
been found pleasing to many musicians. The organist is urged
to explore the tonal possibilities of his instrument, and work out
those combinations which not only satisfy his own taste but suit the
acoustical environment in which the organ may be placed.
For example, the oboe combination given below may not at all fit the player's
particular concept of what that tone-colour should be; and it may be
affected by the acoustical surroundings. If, however, the organist takes
this log number" as a point of departure, and experiments with it-
perhaps intensifying some of the harmonics a little, perhaps repressing
others-he will soon discover the particular tone he prefers.
Here are a few starting points for a voyage of discovery:
