Jeszcze o zabytkowych organach w kościołach diecezji rzeszowskiej (studium historyczno-instrumentoznawcze)

Abstract

There are 148 pipe organs at churches in diocese of Rzeszów, 62 instruments are considered to be antique. One of the criterion of being antique is the age of the instrument. In Poland organs built before 1939 are antique. The subject of the article are the antique organs in the churches of Rzeszów diocese, which have not had separate study so far. These organs are in churches: Boguchwała, Brzyska, Dębowiec, Kąty, Kupno, Wola Rafałowska. The article was divided into two parts. The first one presents history of the church, the history of the instruments which survived and did not survived. As far as survived organs are concerned the description inventory was given (location and dimension of organ case, disposition, range of keyboards, action, kind of bellows). The second part includes a synthesis of analytical results. The article is based on material which was found in Archdiocesan Archive in Przemyśl and Diocese Archive in Rzeszów. The information about organs are in 31 sources. The author conducted also query research at parish archives. The author used printed sources and information from books. When it comes to not survived organs there is information about 5 instruments. It was impossible to establish builders of these instruments. One may assume that they functioned in the churches from 17th to the 19th century. In case of survived organs three of them were transferred (Dębowiec, Kąty, Kupno). At this stage of the study it was possible to determine the date of creation and builders of five instruments. The construction year and the builder of the organ in Kupno has not been established yet. Boguchwała – 1905, 6 stops, one Manual and Pedal, Gebrüder – Rieger Brzyska – 1883, 12 stops, one Manual and Pedal, Stanisław Janik Kąty – 1902, 12 stops, one Manual and Pedal, Aleksander Żebrowski Kupno – 19th century, 13 stops, one Manual and Pedal, the builder is unknown Dębowiec – 1935, 19 stops, two Manual and Pedal, Stefan Krukowski Wola Rafałowska – 1893, 12 stops, one Manual and Pedal, Jan Grocholski Eleven instruments were described in this article.
