France바카라 게임 웹사이트�s largest musical instrument is ready to sound again.It took months of painstaking cleaning and decontaminating of 8,000 pipes, 115 organ stops and numerous other musical components, but on Saturday, the majestic tones of the Grand Organ of Notre Dame rang out once more.It was the first time the revived instrument had been played in front of an audience since the Parisian landmark went up in flames more than five years ago.Like the Virgin Mary statue that emerged from the blaze miraculously unscathed, the organ somehow managed to avoid significant damage in the April 2019 fire. It was structurally intact, but remnants of the collapsed lead roof filled its cavernous pipes and the cracks between its keys.That thick, yellow powder posed no threat to the instrument바카라 게임 웹사이트�s machinery, but the dust needed to be removed for another reason: it was toxic to humans.So, as with countless other centuries-old relics and architectural elements inside the cathedral, highly specialized craftspeople were required to get the organ back to its prefire form 바카라 게임 웹사이트� or as close to it as possible.Veteran organ builder Laurent Mesme바카라 게임 웹사이트�s company, Orgues Quoirin, was one of three workshops chosen from across France to restore the Grand Organ.Mesme described the process as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�incredible.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�It was an exceptional worksite. Usually, the organ builder starts to work when everything is done,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Here, we had to work with the masons, the painters and all the other professionals on site.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The restoration process involved more than 30 artisans who spent months dismantling the organ and restoring its electrical and mechanical components before the deep clean. They were among more than 2,000 craftspeople in total to be involved in the cathedral바카라 게임 웹사이트�s restoration, many using traditional methods from generations ago, according to President Emmanuel Macron바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office.Tuning the organ took another six months.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This kind of maintenance, where you dismantle the entire organ, usually happens every 50 or 100 years,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Mesme said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The next restoration isn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t going to happen any time soon.바카라 게임 웹사이트�To tune an organ, one needs a perfect ear and, typically, complete silence, the latter of which proved nearly impossible to find on the highly specialized construction site.To accommodate this, one team started tuning the pipes by day, while another team perfected the work through the night after construction teams had left.These nocturnal artisans were assisted by the four organists of Notre Dame, each of whom was intimately acquainted with the unique character of the organ바카라 게임 웹사이트�s sound from years spent playing the instrument.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t possible any other way,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said organist Olivier Latry. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�During the day, it was impossible to do anything (with the noise).바카라 게임 웹사이트�Latry had, in his words, lived with the organ 바카라 게임 웹사이트�day and night바카라 게임 웹사이트� since joining the cathedral in 1985. He said it felt strange to spend so much time away from it after the fire.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s really a very intimate bond that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s been established. And it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s funny, the fact that the organ has been out of commission for five years and we find it again, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a bit like finding an old friend we haven바카라 게임 웹사이트�t seen for a few years,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he told CNN.Thanks to this collaboration between artisan and musician, the sound of the organ has been restored to exactly as it was before the fire.Latry and Notre Dame바카라 게임 웹사이트�s three other organists played when the cathedral hosted its reopening ceremony on Saturday. The music for what organizers dubbed the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�grand awakening바카라 게임 웹사이트� of the organ was improvised by the musician based on the emotion of the historic moment, according to Latry.When they finally played, the artisans who restored the organ etched their own unique mark onto a piece of French history.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Every time there has been a restoration, the organ builders have preserved what the previous organ builders have done. As a result, the organ is not the work of a single builder. It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s really a shared work that unfolds over three or four centuries,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Latry said.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a bit like this organ is the history of France,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he added.
