Sonus Paradisi Menesterol Organ Model (HAUPTWERK)

Sonus Paradisi 推出的《Menesterol Organ Model》是一套基于法国 Ménestérol 圣彼得教堂管风琴制作的 Hauptwerk 采样音源，完整还原这台融合历史与重建工艺的巴洛克风格乐器。原教堂建于 12 世纪，现有管风琴主体源自 1842 年 Rinckenbach 为 Colmar 建造的 23 音栓乐器，其后在 1980–1982 年由 Gerhard Grenzing 重建扩展为双键盘（Hauptwerk、Oberwerk）与踏板系统的 23 音栓结构，并在 2006 年由 J.F. Dupont 进行重要整修。整台乐器采用北德巴洛克传统风格，灵感接近 Schnitger 系列小型教堂管风琴，音色清晰、结构分明，兼具透明度与力度层次，非常适合巴洛克复调音乐演绎。

本套音源容量约 17.56 GB，专为 Hauptwerk 平台打造，细致采样各音栓与空间响应，真实再现教堂声学环境与机械触感。音色风格偏向北德巴洛克体系，适合演奏布克斯特胡德、巴赫早期作品及相关历史风格曲目，同时也能胜任独奏、礼拜伴奏与录音制作。对于追求历史音色真实性与空间感的管风琴演奏者与作曲者而言，这是一套具有高度音乐性与收藏价值的专业级虚拟管风琴模型。

The church of Saint Peter in Chains of Ménestérol was built in the XII century in Romanesque style. The western front with portal remains from this period. The interior was rebuilt in the fifteenth century. Two side chapels were added in the seventeenth century.

In the 1970’s, the organist Francis Chapelet was looking for a concert instrument for the church. He used the remains of the organ of the Temple St Mathieu de Colmar which had been stored in a dismantled state after a fire. These remains included the case of the organ, the windchest of the Grande Orgue, some mechanical elements and the front pipes. The 23-stop Colmar instrument, which had come close to destruction, had been built by ValentinRinckenbach in 1842 for the chapel of the old hospital which then became the Temple of St. Mathieu. After restoring, assembling and decorating the case in the choir of Saint Peter, a new instrument was added by Gerhard Grenzing between 1980 and 1982. This consisted of two manuals (Hauptwerk, Oberwerk) and Pedal, with 23 speaking stops in all. In 2006, J. F. Dupont carried out a major overhaul of the organ, adding a Dolzian 8′ in place of the small Regal of the Récit.

The organ is built in the style of the North German Baroque, on the model of the smaller Schnitger-type instruments which may be found for example in Grasberg, Pellworm, Noordbroek or Uithuizen.
