Compton cinema organs, built by the John Compton organ company of Acton, were the most prevalent of theatre organs in the UK, some 261 were installed in cinemas and theatres in the British Isles. Comptons made many fine church and concert organs too. Their cinema organs employed state of the art technology and engineering and many are still in existance today. One of the most noteable is at the " Pipes In The Peaks ", in the village of Thorpe in Derbyshire. During the silent movie era and into the early 1930s, theatre organs were built in large numbers, in a variety of sizes, and filled the gap between a simple piano accompaniment and a full orchestra. Indeed, even when theatre owners hired orchestras to accompany silent movies, they usually also used an organ to provide relief to the orchestra, and to play for less-expensive showings. After the development of sound movies, theatre organs were still installed to provide live music between features. After the 'golden years' during the 1930s though many were scrapped, or sold to churches, private homes, museums, ice rinks, Garage owners, Golf clubs and restaurants (especially pizzerias). In that era, many of the tonal characteristics of theatre organs became somewhat more exaggerated than they had been in the silent movie era. In the UK there are many theatre organs still to be heard but only a handful are in their original location. Such instruments were typically built to provide the greatest possible variety of timbres with the fewest possible pipes, and often had pianos and other percussion instruments built in, as well as a variety of sound effects. Many organ builders supplied instruments to theatres. Page, Marr and Colton, Compton, Möller, Robert-Morton, Rutt, Conacher, Wurlitzer, Hilsdon, Kimball, Barton, Christie, and Hill Norman and Beard. These last two were both brand names for the same company, which specialised at the time in standardised extension organs with electro-pneumatic action, ideal for the theatre and then promoted as convenient and cost-effective for churches. In general the Christie brand was used for theatre organs, which came with contemporary styled consoles, while the firm's own name Hill Norman and Beard appeared on similar and sometimes identical pipes and actions supplied to customers seen as less frivolous, controlled by a traditional drawbar-stop console. Their standardised pipe, relay and blower packages were called unit organs, and for theatre use were augmented with percussion and other additional effects.


Gli organi del cinematografo del Compton, sviluppati dall'azienda dell'organo del John Compton di Acton, erano il più prevalente degli organi del teatro nel Regno Unito, circa 261 sono stati installati in cinematografi ed in teatri nelle isole britanniche. Comptons ha reso molti gli organi fini di concerto e della chiesa anche. I loro organi del cinematografo hanno impiegato la tecnologia avanzata e l'ingegneria e molte sono ancora oggi in existance. Uno del più noteable è “ai Pipes In The Peaks, nel villaggio di Thorpe nel Derbyshire. Durante l'era silenziosa di film e nell'inizio degli anni 30, gli organi del teatro sono stati sviluppati nei grandi numeri, in una varietà di formati ed hanno colmato lo spacco fra un accompagnamento semplice del piano e un'orchestra piena. Effettivamente, anche quando i proprietari del teatro hanno assunto le orchestre per accompagnare i film silenziosi, solitamente inoltre hanno usato un organo per fornire il rilievo all'orchestra ed a gioco per le rappresentazioni di meno-costose. Dopo lo sviluppo dei film sani, gli organi del teatro ancora sono stati installati per fornire la musica in tensione fra le caratteristiche. Dopo “gli anni dorati„ durante i 1930s benchè molti siano scartati, o siano venduti alle chiese, alle sedi riservate, ai musei, ai rinks del ghiaccio, ai proprietari del garage, ai randelli di golf ed ai ristoranti (particolarmente pizzerias). In quell'era, molte delle caratteristiche di tonal degli organi del teatro sono stato esagerate piuttosto di avevano avute luogo nell'era silenziosa di film. Nel Regno Unito ci sono molti organi del teatro ancora da sentire ma soltanto una manciata è nella loro posizione originale. Tali strumenti sono stati costruiti tipicamente per fornire la varietà possibile più grande di timbres i pochi tubi possibili e spesso hanno avuti i piani ed altri strumenti di percussione integrati, così come una varietà di effetti sani. Molti costruttori dell'organo hanno fornito gli strumenti ai teatri. Pagina, Marr e Colton, Compton, Möller, Robert-Morton, Rutt, Conacher, Wurlitzer, Hilsdon, Kimball, Barton, Christie e normanno e barba della collina. Questi ultimi due erano entrambi i nomi di marca per la stessa azienda, che si è specializzata allora negli organi standardizzati di estensione con azione elettropneumatica, ideali per il teatro ed allora hanno promosso come convenienti e redditizi per le chiese. Generalmente la marca del Christie è stata usata per gli organi del teatro, che sono venuto con le sezioni comandi designate contemporanee, mentre il propri normanno e barba nomi della collina della ditta sono comparso su simile ed i tubi a volte identici e le azioni hanno fornito ai clienti visti come meno frivolous, controllate da un tradizionale drawbar-arrestano la sezione comandi. I loro pacchetti standardizzati del tubo, del relè e del ventilatore sono stati denominati organi dell'unità e per il teatro l'uso è stato aumentato con percussione ed altri effetti supplementari.

Les organes de cinéma de Compton, établis par la compagnie d'organe de John Compton d'Acton, étaient les plus répandus des organes de théâtre au R-U, quelques 261 ont été installés dans les cinémas et les théâtres dans les îles britanniques. Comptons a fait à beaucoup les organes fins d'église et de concert aussi. Leurs organes de cinéma ont utilisé la technologie du dernier cri et la technologie et beaucoup sont toujours dans l'existance aujourd'hui. Un du noteable est aux "Pipes In The Peaks" , dans le village de Thorpe dans Derbyshire. Pendant l'ère silencieuse de film et dans le début des années 30, des organes de théâtre ont été établis dans de grands nombres, dans une variété de tailles, et ont comblé la lacune entre un accompagnement simple de piano et un plein orchestre. En effet, même lorsque les propriétaires de théâtre ont employé des orchestres pour accompagner des films silencieux, ils avaient l'habitude habituellement également un organe pour fournir le soulagement à l'orchestre, et au jeu pour des apparences moins-chères. Après le développement des films sains, des organes de théâtre étaient encore installés pour fournir la musique de phase entre les dispositifs. Après 'les années d'or pendant les années 30 bien que beaucoup aient été ferraillés, ou vendus aux églises, aux maisons privées, aux musées, aux patinoires de glace, aux propriétaires de garage, aux clubs de golf et aux restaurants (particulièrement pizzerias). Dans cette ère, plusieurs des caractéristiques de tonal des organes de théâtre sont devenues légèrement plus exagérées qu'elles avaient eu lieu dans l'ère silencieuse de film. Au R-U il y a beaucoup d'organes de théâtre toujours à entendre mais seulement une poignée sont dans leur endroit original. De tels instruments ont été typiquement construits pour fournir à la plus grande possible variété de timbres les quelques pipes possibles, et ont souvent eu des pianos et d'autres instruments de percussion incorporés, aussi bien qu'une variété d'effets sains. Beaucoup de constructeurs d'organe ont fourni des instruments aux théâtres. Page, Marr et Colton, Compton, Möller, Robert-Morton, Rutt, Conacher, Wurlitzer, Hilsdon, Kimball, Barton, Christie, et Normand et barbe de colline. Ces deux derniers étaient les deux noms de marque pour la même compagnie, qui s'est spécialisée alors dans les organes normalisés de prolongation avec l'action électropneumatique, idéaux pour le théâtre et ont puis favorisé comme commodes et rentables pour des églises. En général la marque de Christie a été employée pour les organes de théâtre, qui sont venus avec les consoles dénommées contemporaines, alors que propres Normand et barbe nommés de la colline de l'entreprise apparaissaient sur semblable et les pipes parfois identiques et les actions fournissaient aux clients vus comme moins frivoles, commandées par un traditionnel barre-arrêtent la console. Leurs paquets normalisés de pipe, de relais et de ventilateur se sont appelés les organes d'unité, et pour le théâtre l'utilisation ont été augmentées avec la percussion et d'autres effets additionnels.

Los órganos del cine de Compton en, construidos por la compañía del órgano de Juan Compton de Acton, eran los más frecuentes de los órganos del teatro en el Reino Unido, algunos 261 fueron instalados cines y los teatros en las islas británicas. Comptons hizo muchos órganos finos de la iglesia y del concierto también. Sus órganos del cine emplearon tecnología avanzada y la ingeniería y muchas todavía están en existance hoy. Uno del ma's noteable está en las "Pipes in the Peaks" , en la aldea de Thorpe en Derbyshire. Durante la era silenciosa de la película y en entre los años 30 tempranos, los órganos del teatro fueron construidos en números grandes, en una variedad de tamaños, y llenaron el boquete un acompañamiento simple del piano y una orquesta llena. De hecho, iguale cuando los dueños del teatro emplearon a orquestas para acompañar películas silenciosas, ellas generalmente también utilizó un órgano para proporcionar la relevación a la orquesta, y al juego para las demostraciones menos-costosas. Después del desarrollo de películas sanas, los órganos del teatro todavía fueron instalados para proporcionar música viva entre las características. Después de los ' años de oro durante los años 30 aunque muchos fueron desechados, o vendidos a las iglesias, a los hogares privados, a los museos, a las pistas del hielo, a los dueños del garage, a los clubs del golf y a los restaurantes (especialmente pizzerias). En esa era, muchas de las características del tonal de los órganos del teatro se exageraron algo que habían sido en la era silenciosa de la película. En el Reino Unido hay muchos órganos del teatro todavía que se oirán pero solamente un puñado está en su localización original. Tales instrumentos fueron construidos típicamente para proveer de la variedad posible más grande de timbres las pocas pipas posibles, y tenían a menudo pianos y otros instrumentoes de percusión construidos adentro, así como una variedad de efectos sonoros. Muchos constructores del órgano proveieron los instrumentos a los teatros. Página, Marr y Colton, Compton, Möller, Roberto-Morton, Rutt, Conacher, Wurlitzer, Hilsdon, Kimball, Barton, Christie, y normando y barba de la colina. Estos dos pasados eran ambas marcas para la misma compañía, que se especializó en ese entonces en órganos estandardizados de la extensión con la acción electro-pneumatic, ideales para el teatro y después promovieron como convenientes y rentables para las iglesias. En general la marca de fábrica de Christie fue utilizada para los órganos del teatro, que vinieron con las consolas labradas contemporáneas, mientras que propio normando y barba conocidos de la colina de la firma aparecieron en similar y las pipas a veces idénticas y las acciones proveieron a los clientes vistos como menos frívolos, controladas por un tradicional barra de traccio'n-paran la consola. Sus paquetes estandardizados de la pipa, del relais y del soplador fueron llamados los órganos de la unidad, y para el teatro con uso fueron aumentados la percusión y otros efectos adicionales.

Church of the Epiphany

Concerts at The Church of the Epiphany, Lymer Road, Oxley.

(just off the A449 Wolverhampton - Stafford Rd)

featuring the Compton Organ formerly installed at the Windsor Theatre, Bearwood.

Tuesday 31st October 2006 - Steve Tovey & Cameron Lloyd. Doors 1.30 pm for 2.00pm start

Tuesday 28th November 2006 - David Ivory and Wolverhampton Orpheus Male Voice Choir.

Doors 1.30pm for 2.00pm start.

Admission £3.50 ..... All proceeds to Church Funds.

Contact Steve Tovey on 07931 830 019 for more details.

The Church is on several major bus routes from the City Centre and Railway Station.

The Compton Organ was originally installed at the New Windsor Theatre, Bearwood, Birmingham in 1930 and was opened by Reginald Maynard. Originally, the specification read: Tibia Clausa, Clarinet, Vox Humana, Tuba, Diapason, Flute, Cello and Double String plus the usual traps, tonal percussions and effects. On removal from the cinema in 1960, it was re-built and installed at The Church of the Epiphany, Lymer Road in Oxley near Wolverhampton. The percussions and effects were removed. The String section was reduced to Viole and Viole Celeste and the Vox Humana was removed. This made the specification; Tibia Clausa, Clarinet, Tuba, Diapason, Flute, Viole and Viole Celeste which is how it stands today. Tremulants were kept on the Flute, Viole and Celeste and a separate one in the Solo chamber on the Clarinet. The pipework was installed in two narrow chambers behind the Altar and speaks out through two shutters on either side. The grills can be seen in the photograph above. In the early 1990's four theatre organ concerts were presented featuring, amongst others, Doreen Chadwick. A tremulant was fitted to the Tibia at this time but was later removed. In early 2004, Steve Tovey approached the Church to see if the organ was still in use. Unfortunately, the organ was in a bad state of repair after the organ builders ceased to trade. No funds were available, so the organ became unreliable. The generator had broken and so the action was struggling on a 12 volt car battery. Steve Tovey and Cameron Lloyd have spent many hours on the organ to bring it back into use, tuning, repairing and generally giving the 'old girl' some much needed TLC! The bass section of the Diapason (Diaphone) had long been disconncted due to a split leather inside the chest. This has now been rectified. A loaned Compton tremulant is installed on the Tibia rank for theatre concerts but is removed afterwards.
Metter in contatto con Steve Tovey su 07931 830 019 per più particolari. La chiesa è su parecchi itinerari di bus importanti dal centro urbano e dalla stazione ferroviaria. L'organo del Compton originalmente è stato installato al nuovo teatro di Windsor, Bearwood, Birmingham in 1930 ed è stato aperto da Reginald Maynard. Originalmente, la specifica colta: Tibia Clausa, Clarinet, Vox Humana, Tuba, Diapason, scanalatura, Cello e doppia stringa più le prese usuali, percussioni di tonal ed effetti. Su rimozione dal cinematografo in 1960, è stato ricostruito ed installato stato alla chiesa del Epiphany, strada di Lymer in Oxley vicino a Wolverhampton. Le percussioni e gli effetti sono rimosso stati. La sezione della stringa è ridotto stata a Viole e Viole Celeste ed il Vox Humana è rimosso stato. Ciò ha fatto la specifica; Tibia Clausa, Clarinet, Tuba, Diapason, scanalatura, Viole e Viole Celeste che è come si leva in piedi oggi. Tremulants è stato mantenuto sulla scanalatura, Viole e Celeste e separato nell'alloggiamento solo sul Clarinet. La canalizzazione è stata installata in due alloggiamenti stretti dietro il Altar e parla fuori tramite due otturatori da qualsiasi lato. Le griglie possono essere viste nella fotografia qui sopra. Nell'inizio degli anni 90 quattro concerti dell'organo del teatro sono stati presentati che caratterizzano, fra altri, Doreen Chadwick. Un tremulant misura alla tibia attualmente ma più successivamente è stato rimosso. All'inizio di 2004, Steve Tovey si è avvicinato alla chiesa per vedere se l'organo fosse ancora in uso. Purtroppo, l'organo era in un Male dichiara della riparazione dopo i costruttori dell'organo cessati per commerciare. Non ci erano fondi monetari disponibili, in modo da l'organo è diventato non fidato. Il generatore si era rotto ed in modo da l'azione stava lottando su un accumulatore per di automobile da 12 volt. Steve Tovey e Cameron Lloyd hanno speso molte ore sull'organo per portarli nuovamente dentro uso, sintonizzando, riparando e generalmente dando “alla ragazza anziana„ un certo TLC tanto necessario! La sezione bassa del Diapason (Diaphone) lungamente era stata disconncted dovuto un cuoio spaccato all'interno della cassa. Ciò ora è stata rettificata. Un Compton prestato tremulant è installato sul Rank della tibia per i concerti del teatro ma è rimosso in seguito. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Picturehouse & RITZY Cinema

History of the Ritzy The original Ritzy was designed as the Electric Pavilion in 1910 by E. C. Homer and Lucas. The client was Israel Davis, one of a noted family of cinema developers who created a large chain in south and west London that included the listed Pavillion, Shepherds Bush. The Electric Pavillion opened on 11 March 1911 and was one of England's earliest purpose built cinemas seating over 750 seats in the single auditorium. For the next 65 years the Electric Pavillion operated as an important South London cinema, with only a short period of closure for some alterations and simplifications. These were carried out by George Coles in 1954, when the cinema was renamed Pullman, including the removal of the 1920s organ from the side of the stage; however the cinema retains the architecture and atmosphere of an Edwardian cinema intact. The Pullman, later the Classic, closed in 1976. It was at this stage that the Classic Cinema came close to demolition and it was only through a collaboration between Lambeth Council and the management of the time that the cinema survived. Thankfully it was reopened as an arts cinema two years later, with the name 'Little Bit Ritzy' from which the present name is derived. The most important feature is the proscenium arch, with its present asymmetry. There are eight bays expressed by pilasters with simple drops, and infilled with plaster panels an swags. The auditorium is a remarkably complete example of an early cinema. It is exactly contemporary with the Electric Portobello Road listed grade II, and it is a slightly simpler version in the same idiom. The auditorium is remarkable for its completeness, and particularly for the fact that the proscenium has never been altered to suit developments in the film industry such as cinemascope. The exterior has been simplified by the removal of the top gable to the Brixton Oval facade, but some writhing cherubs survive! Oasis Cinemas bought The Ritzy in 1994 and in conjunction with Brixton Challenge spent one year renovating it to its former glory - adding four screens, a bar and a cafe - making it the largest independent specialist cinema in the country and in 2003 it joined City Screen Ltd, the country's leading specialist cinema operator..

    WYTON WURLITZER



    QUAND L'ORGUE FAIT SON CINEMA Très en vogue dans les années 1920, l'orgue de cinéma a longtemps resplendi au Gaumont Palace à Paris. Aujourd'hui, la société Allen lui rend hommage avec le modèle George Wright Signature Series 319, sous la conduite de Jean-Philippe Le Trévou. Autre article: Allen présente le nouveau Renaissance - L'orgue de cinéma a eu son heure de gloire en France : il n'est que d'évoquer l'orgue du Gaumont Palace à Paris pour raviver de merveilleux souvenirs dans le coeur des cinéphiles parisiens. Le Gaumont Palace offrait alors six mille places en 1930, date à laquelle y est érigé le grand orgue de cinéma par la firme britannique Christie. Par le truchement du dédoublement des jeux, l'orgue compte près d'une centaine de jeux, alors qu'il est en réalité comparable à un orgue traditionnel de 25 jeux, exception faite de sa configuration, si particulière, d'orgue de cinéma. La magie du lieu fait apparaître l'orgue sur scène depuis la fosse d'orchestre, l'organiste Tommy Desserre, titulaire dès 1932- il était également titulaire de l'orgue de choeur du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre -, étant assis devant sa console. L'orgue accompagne les films muets ou en exécute les différents bruitages. Vendu aux enchères publiques le 7 avril 1976, l'orgue du Gaumont Palace sera finalement racheté par la ville de Nogent-sur-Marne qui l'installe dans le pavillon Baltard, rescapé des Halles de Paris. Toujours plus de jeux La première configuration de l'orgue traditionnel en orgue de cinéma est due à Hope-Jones. En 1920, cet Anglais reçoit la commande d'une église naturellement désargentée, ce qui l'amène à être imaginatif en démultipliant les jeux et les timbres grâce à l'électricité. Côté console, Hope-Jones opte pour une configuration en fer à cheval, toujours d'actualité, et a l'idée, pour des raisons de coût, de réaliser les tablettes de commandes de jeux à l'aide de garnitures en ivoire de manches de couteaux, tout en prenant la précaution de déposer le brevet de l'orgue unit. Il n'en faut pas davantage pour convaincre les frères américains Wurlitzer de racheter les droits liés au brevet de Hope-Jones et de voir en ce prototype un avenir très prometteur pour le cinéma mais aussi pour le music-hall. Wurlitzer va travailler à amplifier le concept d'orgue de cinéma en ajoutant toujours plus de jeux et de combinaisons aux petits instruments de base, mais aussi un grand nombre de percussions comme des caisses claires, tambourins, castagnettes, xylophones, glockenspiel, harpe, piano. Incontestablement, le succès de l'orgue de cinéma repose sur sa filiation avec l'orgue traditionnel auquel il emprunte sa structure de base originelle. A la différence près que les pressions de vent sont franchement monstrueuses puisqu'elles grimpent jusqu'à 200 millimètres sur la colonne de mercure qui sert à les mesurer, contraignant parfois les facteurs à visser certains tuyaux sur les sommiers ! Wurlitzer construira près de deux mille instruments, dont le plus majestueux représentant se trouve aujourd'hui à Phoenix, aux Etats Unis, désormais propriété de la société de restauration Pizza and Pipe, célèbre pour l'aménagement de salles de restaurant autour. . . d'orgues de cinéma, Pour autant, il ne faudrait pas oublier de mentionner l'existence des firmes britanniques Compton et Christie ainsi qu'une bonne vingtaine d'entreprises américaines, parmi lesquelles Barton qui s'était fait une spécialité d'intégrer des jeux de 32 pieds à ses orgues de cinéma ! Le pape de l'orgue de cinéma Le glas de l'orgue de cinéma sonne avec l'avènement du cinéma parlant dans les années 1930. Toutefois, l'instrument garde une place de choix dans les salles obscures en continuant à donner de la voix durant l'entracte. Le pape des organistes de cinéma, en 1940, est incontestablement George Wright, qui vit les temps forts de la comédie musicale américaine et de la grande épopée du jazz. Wright n'a de cesse d'acheter d'innombrables jeux de tuyaux d'orgue fabriqués par Wurlitzer et de les harmoniser lui-même en privilégiant les attaques et surtout les tremblants. A la même époque, la firme américaine Allen construit son premier orgue liturgique électronique. Un succès qui va grandissant avec l'avènement de l'orgue à quatre claviers en 1954 et surtout des combinaisons ajustables par ordinateur dès 1970. Une technologie qui s'enrichit en 1995 d'un système optique pour la retraduction fidèle du toucher de l'organiste, Allen propose aujourd'hui son fer de lance avec l'orgue de cinéma George Wright Signature Series 319, entièrement échantillonné en 1996 sur l' orgue personnel de Wright. Distributeur exclusif des orgues Allen en France depuis 1992, JeanPhilippe Le Trévou côtoie en fait la firme américaine depuis 1978. Sa parfaite connaissance de l'orgue Allen en fait aujourd'hui un spécialiste de l'orgue liturgique et de l'orgue de cinéma numérique. Il dispose d'un parc de location d'instruments auquel font régulièrement appel l'Orchestre national de France, l'Orchestre philharmonique de Radio-France, le London Symphony Orchestra, l'Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. Organiste de formation, il est titulaire de l'église Sainte-Claire à Paris mais avoue une passion pour le répertoire lié à l'orgue de cinéma qui lui vaut de se produire durant quatre-vingt-dix représentations en interlude au Kinopanorama à Paris, à la Vidéothèque de Paris pour le festival Ciné-Mémoire, et au Cinema Museum de Francfort à l'occasion de la Foire de la musique. Son heure de gloire ? Sans aucun doute lorsqu'il ajoué, sur un orgue Allen, dans la basilique de Yamoussoukro, en Côte-d'Ivoire, à l'occasion des obsèques du président Houphouët-Boigny en 1994.
