Illustrations in choir accompaniment : with hints in registration : a hand-book (provided with marginal notes for reference) for the use of organ students, organists, and those interested in church music . E OF STOPS. 133 If a four-foot Flute be employed, instead of a Melodia or Stopped Diapason, playing thechord (Example 140) an octave lower, a tone of perhaps less fulness (especially as comparedwith the Melodia), but of greater briglitness (especially as compared with the Stopped Diapason),will be obtained. This may, imder conditions, better agree with the voice accompanied, or thecontrary effect may result therefrom. It is evident that such treatment becomes a matter of judgment and experiment on the partof the organist. It is also evident that this kind of transposition in the octave must be confinedto accompaniments of limited compass, as they would otherwise pass beyond the range of thekeyboard when so transjaosed, and, should but a single key be lacking, the phrase might therebybe mutilated. This use of the stops is, however, by no means confined to a limited range ofchords, but may often advantageously be employed for many passages founded upon the scales. Example 141. h ch. ore. ExAilPLE 142. Sw. or Oh. 8 (and i) ft. Transposi-tion in thelower Octave. Transposi-tion in tiieupper Octave. At a, Example 141, the bass passage is given as written for the piano. This, it will beseen, descends below the mamial compass of the organ. It may, notwithstanding, be literallyexecuted by the employment of two manuals—registering the right hand with eight-foot stops,and the left with the Great Open Diapason (or Bourdon) of sixteen feet, and playing the bassan octave higher than written. Should special distinctness be desired in the bass, an eight-footstop may be added to the sixteen-foot, thus giving the passage in octaves. In this way, manypedal passages may be performed, where not too great power is required, which might otherwisebe found to exceed the clear and comfor
