Lt. Col. George Dixon And Cecil Clutton

A thought provoking question Pierre! - something that Dr David Wylde could shed more light on perhaps - he is on here sometimes.

A question already over here.

We are busy with the next one: what to do with the neo-baroque organs ?

A main issue is how to avoid the massacre which is pending -as always-

because there are many good such organs that must be kept.

The same for "néo-classique", eclectic organs from 1935 to 1970; we are

busy on my forum to help protect them (Gonzalez etc).

Does anyone have any biographical information about Lt. Col. George Dixon?

There was an article a year or so ago in a BIOS Journal (which I think was by Relf Clark) which had some details - I am sure that there has been another but can't remember where it was.

While looking for something else, I came across this, which might be pertinent to the current discussion (or not)

 

Clutton and Dixon's book "The Organ, it's Tonal Structure and Registration" is available on line

Splendid news !

 

Thanks for that. It will interest greatly

the french and belgian organists on my forum !

 

(I found mine in London in 1976, and often use it)

There seems to be other interesting material on the site (http://www.archive.org) - search for Organ

A few examples:

Notes on the Temple Organ (1911) (Edmund Macrory)

The Organ in France (Wallace Goodrich)

Bach's Organ Registration (W.L. Sumner)

 

Hope it's of some use.

Of course, Patrick,

 

It is the whole Website that deserves attention!
