- This hymn may be recognized to some as 'I Vow To Thee My Country', or to still others as part of Holst's 'The Planets'. As it is, I started with the synthetic Clarinet stop, since I never use it, and did some hand-registering before building up a crescendo. This tune is a particular favorite of mine.
** About the organ **
This organ was installed June 15, 1965 as part of a new church building for the 2nd Baptist Church of Rochester, NY. It was a Custom build from Allen Organ in Macungie, Pennsylvania, with additional options for a Schulmerich Carillon system. It is a unit organ of seven electronic ranks, with the Great/Swell/Pedal sharing three tone generators, the Swell having a dedicated Celeste generator, and an independent Choir division of three tone generators, for a total of five audio output channels. A total of 570 oscillators generate all the sounds that are heard. A dedicated Choir Celeste generator awaits installation, which will bring the total up to 607 oscillators. The organ was dedicated in September, 1965 in a recital performed by Berj Zamkochian.
This reminds me of Diana! Beautiful hymn played at her funeral in 1997. God bless you.
Wonderful and Glorious. Thank you Adam!
Thank you for listening to it! This was a lot of fun to record. I can use full organ again now that all of the various 59 year old notes are in tune.
@@AdamPilbeam85 I'm playing a 2004 Allen organ at church, and I'm fascinated with the Allen history and technological development.
@@mattleach958 Have you read Jerome Markowitz's book "Triumphs and Tribulations of an Organ Builder"? He recounts the history of Allen from the beginning through the early digital era, I found it a very informative read. At some point I am going to do a technical walk-through video on this organ and show off all the parts that make it play.
