PROLOGUE

If all the trees in the wood could sing,
each leaf as a tongue resounding,
they could not outdo the Lord our King
his mercy all speech confounding.


N.F.S. Grundtvig: from 3rd verse of the hymn
We Welcome with Joy this Blessed Day


Not many organs have a motto. But the organ of Jægersborg Church has. The organ front is teeming with troll-like creatures, leaves and birds, and on the pipes weird, singing goldfaces have been painted. As if Nature had come alive to burst into a hymn to God.

Inside it the organ hides a secret. „These years are hard on Denmark“, the inscription reads. For the country was occupied when the organ was being built, and in the organ workshop in Aabenraa the organbuilders could hear English bombers on their way to Flensburg with their ominous cargo.

But above the entrance of the organbuilding, great letters read SOLI DEO GLORIA. Glory to God Alone. And so even the best cannot be good enough.

This is a portrait of an unusual instrument, and of those who built it, played it and sang with it.


FOREWORD

One bright summer day I paid my first visit to Jægersborg Church and entered a gloomy, dark organ loft. Working here must be dreadful, I thought, but changed my mind when I began playing the organ. It possessed a strong personality, magically attracting the player, at the same time being somehow enigmatic.

Now, after more than 13 years as an organist of the church, and in connection with the 75 years' jubilee of the organ, the idea came to me to write a book, telling and documenting the story of this organ.

This story has three leading characters, visionary and strong-willed men – the organbuilders Poul-Gerhard Andersen and Sybrand Zachariassen, and Finn Viderø, the organist. Together they created the Jægersborg organ in years of great transformations within art, architecture, churchmusic, building and organplaying.

The story begins with the evolution after the First World War, leading to the Organ Reform Movement. Next comes the story of building the Jægersborg organ, unfolded in private letters of the organbuilders from 1942–44. Two chapters at first deal with organs of great importance of shaping the Jægersborg organ, followed by a guided tour through all of the technical details of the organ. We follow the further development of the three key figures, other persons around the organ, and what later happened to the instrument. Historical recordings in Jægersborg have their own chapter, including especially Karl Richter's LP-editions along with instances of recent music for the organ.

Three guest-writers also have their own chapters. Svend Prip, former cathedral organist in Haderslev, writes about the influence of the Jægersborg organ on later organs, and Frans Brouwer, Dutch organ scholar, writes about the Jægersborg organ and the influence of Danish Organ Reform Movement abroad. Hanne Sander, the former vicar of Jægersborg, relates how theology and music in Jægersborg Church go together.


EPILOGUE

Much has happened since the Jægersborg organ had its heyday.
Today you can build uncompromising organs that in historic ways of building revive baroque organbuilding far more authentically. But imitation of some other instrument or era never was the ambition with the Jægersborg organ. On the contrary, the objective was to create a beautiful work of art. And so it was done.
Well – the instrument has some limitations, and you could easily imagine converting and changing this detail or another, and then you would get – something eise. As the organ now stands, every pipe has its proper place in the entirety. So you must take the organ as it is, and adapt yourself to it.
Today no one would think of building a Jægersborg organ 2.0. After all, that would be contrary to the spirit of the entire instrument, and yet it might inspire to something quite new and different? Knowing your roots is important when you will renew yourself, and this book, I hope, can be a contribution to that aim.
The founders of Jægersborg Church would shake their heads, if they could see what is going on today: baby hymn singing, mini candidates for confirmation, literature circles, lectures, children's choir and so on.
But still a grain of their spirit is alive – in their pride of the church life that has been created to embrace the local tradition of this place and at the same time make it a living and contemporary church.
This is a real experience every Sunday – when music pours out from pipes that were made 75 years ago by proud, enthusiastic men building an instrument for present and coming generations.

If all the trees in the wood could sing,
each leaf as a tongue resounding,
they could not outdo the Lord our King
his mercy all speech confounding.
