182 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. Vox Mystica— 8 ft. A stop bearing this name occurs in the Echo organ in the Colston Hall, Bristol, organ (Norman & Beard, 1905). The tone, which was intended to represent Madam Clara Butt's voice, is that of a rather full- toned Echo Vox Humana. The pipes resemble Cor Anglais pipes, with a slot in the under side of the bell, save that they are cylindrical, not of inverted-conical shape. Vox Pueri—Vox Tauri. (Lat.) Puer = boy; Taurus = bull. At Carigrana Church, Genoa, these two names constituted the "Soprano" and "Basso" of one stop. The humorous side of the arrangement occurs, not so much in the stop itself, which in all pro- bability was merely a variety of Vox Humana, as in the naive idea of grouping together boys' and bulls' voices as cognate. It is scarcely complimentary to Italian choirmasters. Vox Retusa— (Lat.) Retusus = dull. A soft-toned Gedeckt. In the middle ages the adjective retusus was sometimes used to designate stopped .pipes. Lund Cathedral, Sweden. Vox Stellarum—See Cymbalstern. Vox Tauri—See Vox Pueri. Vox Vinolata— (Lat.) Latin). Vinolentus = drunken. (Vinolata is very bad A small-scaled Gemshorn of weak intonation. Lund Cathedral, Sweden. How the stop came to receive so extraordinary a name is not known. It is not a Vox Humana. Commenting on the Vox Vinolata, the Editors of The Organist and Choirmaster propounded the delightful suggestion that it might well be utilized as a stock object lesson in " Temperance Hall " organs. Vox Virgina— (Lat.) Virgo = a virgin. 4 ft. An octave Vox Humana. See also Vox Angelica. w. Waldflbte — Feldfiote. (Lat.) Tibia Silvestris ; (Fr.) Flute Champ. Anglice Wald Flute. (Ger.) Wald = wood, Feld = field; (Fr.) Champ = field; (Lat.) Silvester = of a wood or forest. 8 ft. ; 4 ft. ; abroad occasionally 2 ft. A wood Flute of rectangular form and large scale. It was introduced in this country by Mr. W. Hill in 1841. In 8 ft. pitch the Waldflote is a speciality of Messrs. Walker, to be found in nearly all of their instruments built within the last twenty-five or thirty years. It was formerly continued
DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. S3 by a stopped bass from mid. C, but as now made, practically only the lowest nine pipes are stopped. The Waldflote is constructed with an inverted mouth on the narrow side of the pipe. The tone of the Waldflote is fairly powerful, and is distinguished by a very sweet and cloying horny timbre. In its fullness of tone it resembles the Clarabella, in the slightly hard quality the English Hohlflute. The horny quality is probably due to the development of certain of the higher harmonics, notably the flat twenty-first. The stop is of ex- (O quisite quality, and is most useful, alike solo and in combination. In the tenor octave, particularly when combined with the Swell Oboe or Viol (box closed), chords on the Waldflote furnish an excellent repre- sentation of orchestral Horns. The Waldflote is also largely used by Messrs. Norman & Beard. It is open to discussion whether the Waldflote 8 ft. is the most suitable stop for use as the Great organ Flute, especi- ally in churches of but modest dimensions. It is an indisputable fact that the peculiar timbre of stops with inverted mouth is apt rapidly to pall and become wearisome to the ear. The sweet " sugary " character of the Waldflote, whilst doubly enhancing the value of the stop for occasional combinational use and for solo purposes, would seem to render it rather inappropriate for the position of a stop so constantly in use as a Great organ unison Flute. On any other manual, or in octave pitch, this objection would not hold valid, but for the said position a stop of the Tibia class would certainly appear to be more suitably adapted, and might therefore profitably be substituted. The Waldflote is frequently employed by English builders as a 4 ft. Choir stop. Some firms also use it in place of the more usual Harmonic Flute 4 ft. on the Great organ, holding its blending power to be superior. This is purely a matter of taste, and, apart from this question, there is little to choose between the two stops. As used by Mr. Compton, the Waldflote has a sloping block and cap of peculiar shape. His pipes are also more sparsely nicked than is ordinarily the case, and the upper lip presents the unusual feature of being rounded and polished. On the Continent the Waldflote lacks the horny character of tone ; Section of Waldflote (Compton).
