Abstract(s)
A procura de um órgão para tocar nos Açores, o autor descreve a riqueza de instrumentos com que deparou - alguns provenientes de Lisboa, outros construídos localmente e ainda um outro, um piano-órgão, importado de Inglaterra. Entre os provenientes de Lisboa, inclui-se o magnífico órgão Fontanes da de S. José, em Ponta Delgada, e vários outros construídos por António Xavier Machado nos finais do século XVIII e princípios do século XIX. Entre os instrumentos fabricados localmente encontra-se um trabalho de Manoel de Serpa da Silva, do Faial, dos finais do séc. XIX. O piano-órgão é um trabalho da firma de pianos Londrina Collard e Collard e data da década de 1830. Este instrumento parece ser único. Na altura em que estas linhas foram escritas, todos estes órgãos necessitavam de restaurações, em maior ou menor escala. Havendo boas perspectivas de estas serem realizadas, o autor espera vir a dar um recital futuramente.
ABSTRACT: In search of an organ to play in the Azores, the writer describes the wealth of instruments he encountered - some from Lisbon, some built locally and one, a piano-organ, imported from England. Those from Lisbon include the magnificent Fontanes organ at the Igreja São José, Ponta Delgada and several built by António Xavier Machado e Cerveira in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. One of the locally made instruments is the work of Manoel (sic) de Serpa da Silva of Faial from the end of the 19th century. The piano-organ is the work of the London piano firm Collard and Collard, and dates from the 1830s. This instrument would appear to be unique. At the time of writing all of these organs were in need of restoration, to a lesser or greater extent, but with improved prospects for restoration the writer hopes to be able to give a recital at some future date.
