Rodgers Trilogy - Page 14

Preset Combination Actions have been laid out primarily for use in church liturgy
rather than for the performance of concert literature.
PISTON #=1
GREAT MANUAL - Useful for the introduction of larger hymns, for the first voices
of a quiet hymn, and occasionally for choir responses.
SWELL MANUAL - Provides an answer to the above, or it can be coupled to the
Great to broaden that registration.
CHam MANUAL - Provides a soft background to the Great.
THE PEDAL - Set to balance the above registrations.
PISTON #=2
GREAT MANUAL - Provides a clear Flute Chorus for lighter music and with solo
choral work.
SWELL MANUAL - The Diapason at 8' and 4' provide the foundation -- ~ither when
used alone for choir work or when coupled to the Great for
congregational singing.
CHom MANUAL - The most basic registration for lighter hymns.
THE PEDAL - Set to balance the above registrations.
PISTON #=3 -
GREAT MANUAL -
The basic Diapason Chorus for most hymns of a larger sort.
SWELL MANUAL - Provides only the light strings, particularly useful for a quick
transition from soft meditation to the Great hymn organ.
CHam MANUAL - Imitation of the Flute Chorus of Great Piston #=2.
THE PEDAL - Set to balance the above registrations.
NOTE: These registrations may be broadened by adding either
Piston #=2 or #=1.
PISTON #=4
GREAT MANUAL - Useful for final verses of hymns, especially when there has
been a gradual build-up, verse by verse, through the Great
registrations on the other pistons (above). The Swell to Great
Coupler adds greater claritY, bringing the reed sound from
the Swell.
