Among the hundreds of stops that organists use to imitate different instruments, there is one labeled vox humana or “human voice.”

There is a vox humana stop out in whatever organ plays it, magnetic to the human passions that memory and imagination keep.

We went through the same process again, only I kept my foot on the vox humana pedal until I had crammed it 'way into fortissimo.

But she pulled out every stop of the feminine organ, the clarion, the stopped diapason, flute, bird-stop, vox humana, and, lastly, the tremolo stop.

And the windows—the sunlight filtering in through that one on the left was like the organ when the vox humana pedal is on—all shimmering.
