Rony Angkriwan, The Battalion LOST IN THE CROWD Four-year-old Zack Smith finds a cozy spot during the Fish Drill Team performance Sunday afternoon. Recital Continued from Page 2 from British, German and French com posers on a three-manual pipe organ with electric connections that blow air into pipes as tall as 16 feet. A&M United Methodist Church was chosen for the recital because the con sole, the part of the organ where the performer sits, can be placed so that the performer’s hands and feet are visi ble to the audience. Reynolds said the organ is often called the king of instruments because it uses a lot of power and can produce a variety of sounds, such as the flute, oboe and trumpet. Laurine Marlow, subdean of the lo cal AGO chapter, said playing the or gan is fun because of the many options involved. “Part of the fun is combining these sounds when you play,” Marlow said. “Part of the fun playing the organ is co ordinating both your hands and feet.” Reynolds said playing the organ re quires the whole person, involving even the mind and soul. “I think it might be like a painter who uses all colors at his disposal,” Reynolds said. “So it’s painting with music.” The two most difficult aspects of learning to play the organ, she said, are balance and coordination. Marlow said AGO recitals always prompt at least one person to express in terest in learning to play the instrument. “Nearly always someone in the audi ence who sees it and hears it falls in love with it,” she said. “If they at least don’t start learning, they go out and buy recordings.” Ron Ollis, an organist and member of A&M United Methodist Church, said playing the organ brings him closer to God and has made him stronger spiritu ally, especially since playing it is an act that requires concentration. Ollis said playing the organ has given him a new outlook on life and beauty. In 275 B.C., the organ was invented by an engineer named Ktesibios of Alexandria, Egypt, but the earliest or gan pieces were not composed until the 14th century. Reynolds said that because the organ has inspired six centuries of music, there is a great variety of pieces from which to choose.
