Il8 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. Pilgerchor—(Ger.) = pilgrim choir. A Vox Humana effect found in some ancient German organs, intended to represent the distant singing of pilgrims. PLEIN JEU— (Fr.) = Full Mixture. Plockflote—A corruption of Blockflote. POLYPHONE PIPES— See under Rohrflote. Pommer—Onomatopoeic. See Bombarde. PORTUNAL — Bordunal, Bordunalflote, Portunalnote. Bordunal is probably the more correct spelling, the name being derived from Bourdon. Albeit Portunal is the accepted presentation. 8 ft. ; 4 ft. The Portunal is composed of open wooden pipes widening as they ascend. The tone is velvety and often accompanied by a modicum of string tone, as is the case with so many of the German varieties of Flute. The bass of the Querflote was sometimes formed of Portunal pipes. Posaune— (Ger.) = Trumpet. Manual, 8 ft. ; pedal, 16 ft. Contra-Posaune : Manual, 16 ft. ; pedal, 32 ft. On the Pedal organ the Posaune is equivalent to a smooth powerful! Trombone (sub q.v.). The manual Posaune is a large-scaled Trumpet of powerful and rather blaring tone. Whilst more powerful than the Trumpet, it possesses none of the smooth Tuba quality of the Tromba. PR^ESTANT— See Prestant. Pressior—(Lat.) Pressorius = pressed or closed. An ancient name for Gedackt. PRESTANT—Praestant. (Lat.) Prsestare = to stand before. Originally in Germany and France the word Praestant was employed to designate those pipes standing in the case (see Montre and Nasat). Later, in company with Prinzipal, it became applied to Diapasons of 32 ft, 16 ft., 8 ft. and 4 ft. pitch, As in England, Principal is now applied to a 4 ft. Diapason, so also in France, Prestant bears the same connotation. Primaria—(Lat.) Primus = first. Equivalent to the ancient denotation of Praestant. Primaria Regula—See Regula and Primaria. Principal—(Ger.) Prinzipal. In this country a 4 ft. Diapason (see Octave). In Germany, Prinzipal variously represents the Diapasons of 32 ft., 16 ft., 8 ft. and 4 ft. pitch.
DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. Prinzipal-Flbte—See Flute-Principal and Solo. PROGRESSIO HARMONICA. A Mixture stop composed of ranks which, instead of "breaking" (see Mixture), increase in number as the pitch rises. A variety of Progressio Harmonica was invented by Musikdirector Wilke, of Neu Ruppin. Its special function was to increase the power of the treble portion of the compass. The name is now loosely applied in Germany to Mixture stops of various composition. PROLONGEMENT HARMONIQUE — (Fr.) Prolongement = prolongation. A mechanical device for sustaining a chord or note, even though the fingers be removed from the clavier. It is applied either by drawstop or pedal, according to one of two systems. In one case the chord or note is sustained until a release pedal be operated. In the other, the chord or note is sustained until such time as another (sustained in its turn) be depressed, or the movement thrown out of gear. The Prolongement Harmonique would be a valuable adjunct to a Solo organ. On an organ so equipped, it would be possible, for instance, to sustain notes on the Tuba, leaving the hands free for intercalated passages on the full Great organ. As far as the author's knowledge extends, there are but two examples of the use of the Prolongement Harmonique in this country. Tewksbury Abbey (Michell & Thynne, 1887), since removed. Chamber Organ built by the Rev. Scotson Clark, formerly at the London Organ School. It is used abroad, though infrequently. Pyramid—Equivalent to Cone. Pyramid-Diapason, etc. Pyramidflote. A variety of Querfiote of " pyramidical " or tapering structure. Liegnitz. See Flauto Traverso. Pyramidon— 16 ft. A stop invented by the Rev. Sir F. A. Gore Ouseley. The CCC note was produced from a stopped pipe measuring 2 ft. 9 in. high, 2 ft. 3 ins. square at the top, and 8 ins. square at the block. The pipe at the summit was, therefore, more than three times as large as at the mouth. In a letter to the author, dated a few years back, Mr. Henry Bryceson, a celebrated organ builder of the period, expressed himself as follows : " I believe the Pyramidon never passed the experimental stage in an organ built by Flight for Sir Fred. Ouseley's College Chapel in S. Wales. On enquiry he, (Flight) only smiled about the stop, so, evidently, he had no great opinion of it." The Pyramidon, of course, occupies too much soundboard space to be of any practical value. "Boxes "and "Cubes," into an orifice in 1 1 9
