It is a variation of the classical pipe organ expanded with many pipes imitative of orchestral instruments, and with capabilities for seamlessly increasing and decreasing volume. These expansions are intended to facilitate the expressive performance of Romantic music and orchestral transcriptions. (These are classical orchestral works re-scored for a solo organist, a popular practice before technology allowed orchestras to be widely recorded and broadcast.) The symphonic organ has seen a revival in the US, Europe and Japan, particularly since the 1980s. - Yale University is an American private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut.

They claimed possession of the land via a deed of conveyance from Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick. The colony was named in honor of Lords Saye, or William Fiennes, 1st Viscount Saye and Sele, and Robert Greville, 2nd Baron Brooke, prominent Parliamentarians and holders of the colony's land grants. - Higher education, post-secondary education, or third level education is an optional final stage of formal learning that occurs after completion of secondary education.
