  • Renatus Harris (c. 1652 - 1724) was an English master organ maker in England in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. During the period of the Commonwealth, in the mid-seventeenth century, Puritans controlled the country and organ music was banned in churches. Many organ makers left England for the continent, including Harris' father, Thomas. It was while the family was living in France that Harris was born. After the Restoration the family returned to England. Harris grew up in his father's business and eventually became one of the two most prominent organ builders of his generation, along with his hated rival "Father" Bernard Smith. Harris had a flair for publicity and was not above using under-hand tactics against Smith. Harris's great-grandfather, Thomas Dallam, and his father, Robert Dallam, were also organ makers, as were Renatus Harris's sons, John and Renatus. John Harris was the father of Joseph Harris, a renowned harpsichord maker, who in turn was the father of English entomologist and engraver Moses Harris. He is credited with being the first to introduce the pedals to the organ, at St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol. However, the pedalboard was an addition of one octave of pull-down pedals and not the independent pedalboard we know today. He was also famous for introducing stops to organs which imitated particular instruments - a kind of hallmark - such as trumpet, cremona, cornet, etc. Renatus Harris died at Salisbury in August or September, 1724 shortly after completing his last organ with his son John at St Dionis Backchurch in the City of London.

  • Renatus Harris (c. 1652 - Salisbury, août ou septembre 1724) est un maître facteur d'orgue actif en Angleterre à la fin du XVIIe et au début du xviiie siècle. Au cours de la période dite Commonwealth (régime dictatorial d'Oliver Cromwell), dans le milieu du XVIIe siècle, les puritains contrôlent le pays et la musique d'orgue est interdite dans les églises. De nombreux facteurs d'orgues, quittent l'Angleterre pour le continent, et notamment le père de Renatus, Thomas Harris. C'est pendant ce séjour en France de la famille que naît Renatus Harris. Après la Restauration, la famille rentre en Angleterre. Harris grandit dans les affaires de son père et devient l'un des deux principaux facteurs d'orgue de sa génération, avec son rival détesté « Père » Bernard Smith. Harris a le sens de la publicité et ne néglige pas d'utiliser en sous-main des tactiques pour contrer Smith. Le grand père d'Harris, Thomas Dallam et son père, Robert Dallam, sont également facteurs d'orgues réputés, comme l'ont été les fils de Renatus Harris, John et Renatus. John Harris est le père de Joseph Harris, un célèbre facteur de clavecins, père lui-même de l'entomologiste et graveur anglais Moses Harris. Renatus Harris est mort à Salisbury, en août ou septembre, 1724. (fr)
