64 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. it may conveniently and effectively be borrowed on to the Pedal organ. Both on manual and pedal, the Double Dulciana is a stop of the utmost value and beauty, forming an excellent background and bass to soft manual combinations. It is unfortunately rare in this country, since its utility is confined to combinations of no great power. There are good specimens at Warwick Collegiate Church, and McEwan Hall, Edinburgh (Hope-Jones), both partly contained in the case, to which use, it may parenthetically be observed, the pipes are well adapted on account of their slender and graceful proportions and unobstrusive tone. An Octave Dulciana by Snetzler occurred at Passau Cathedral, Germany. The first Double Dulciana appears to have been introduced by Bishop at Acre Lane, Clapham (1828). The Dulciana is essentially an English stop, almost entirely unknown on the Continent even at the present day. The scale of the Dulciana varies from $ in. to 4^ in. at CC. A splendid specimen voiced by Mr. Compton at Emmanuel Church, Nottingham, measures CC 3-j in., T.C i-| in. It is of spotted metal, and the tone is quiet and velvety. Dulciana Mixture—Dulciana Cornet. A Mixture stop of quiet silvery tone, though scarcely of Dulciana scaled pipes. A very great acquisition to an organ of moderate size. The Dulciana Mixture is generally enclosed in a Swell box. St. Mark, Leeds (Binns) ; York Minster (Walker) ; Echo Organ, Norwich Cathedral, VI ranks (Norman & Beard—a most effective' stop). See Mixture. Dulcimer—A string instrument introduced as an organ stop by Schwarbrook at St. Michael, Coventry (1733). The Dulcimer is a trapeze-shaped instrument, on which are stretched wires which are struck by hand with a hammer. Dulcissima—See Dolcissimo. Dulzflote— Dolzfiote. See Flauto Dulcio. Duodecima—(Lat.) = Twelfth. E. Echo—A prefix denoting exceptional softness of tone, e.g., Echo Dulciana, Echo Salicional, Echo Cornet. When the name occurs by itself in the specifications of ancient Continental instruments, it has reference to a quiet Flute enclosed in a box and isolated from the organ. This is also sometimes called Bourdonecho. Echo Bass—See Echo Bourdon. ECHO BOURDON— 16 ft. A quiet Bourdon. A Swell Lieblich Bordun, borrowed on to the Pedal organ, is frequently named Echo Bourdon, or Echo Bass. See Dolcissimo. :
DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. 65 Echo Gamtoa— 8 ft. A quiet Gamba of hard, cold tone. Formerly, a speciality of Messrs. Walker, who now, however, continue to apply the name to what is virtually a String Gamba, or Viole d' Orchestre. The Echo Gamba is almost invariably enclosed in a swell box. Effets d' Orage—(Fr.) Effet = effect. Orage = storm. See Storm Pedal. English Horn—See Cor Anglais, Double English Horn. Epistomium— (Lat.) = a Ventil. EUPHONE—Euphonium, Eyphone. (Gr.) eh = good. iphivri = sound. 1 6 ft. ; 8 ft. The first instance of the Euphone was that inserted at Beauvais Cathedral in 1827-29, in company with other free reed stops named Conoclyte and Terpomele. The pipes were cylindrical in body, terminating in a long cone. The Terpomele and the Euphone were adapted to expressive use by means of a device for varying the wind pressure. Subsequently, in 1830, Sebastian Erard introduced an expressive free reed, which he named Euphone, into his organ at the Tuileries Chapel Royal. The form of pipe he adopted was that utilised by M. Grenie" twenty years pre- viously. The popular opinion that Erard was the inventor of the Euphone is therefore inaccurate. The tongues were broad and thin, and the pipes were of the Grenie" pattern, shaped somewhat like a balloon with a slit near the top. When now made, which is but rarely, the pipes are of inverted conical shape. In tone the stop varies considerably. Usually it may be described as a sort of cross between a Cor Anglais, Bassoon and Clarinet. It is of gentle intonation. The Euphone was introduced into this country by Messrs. Kirkland & Jardine. St. Peter, Manchester (1856); Free Trade Hall, Manchester (1857). An example, though Euphone. an imperfect specimen, existed at the Fig. B— Euphone.
