New Organs

April 3, 2003
Default

John-Paul Buzard Pipe Organ Builders, Champaign, IL, has built a new organ for Immanuel Lutheran Church, Wisconsin Rapids, WI. The 2-manual, 23-stop, 30-rank organ is the firm's opus 14, with electric slider key and stop actions, and replaces a Wangerin built in 1922. The design includes a Flute Celeste, in which two pipesare made in one pipe body, and a Major Tuba, mounted horizontally atop the main case. The builder selected the best pipes from the old organ, rebuilt and revoiced for the new tonal context. The Great division is projected over the front edge of the balcony rail; the Swell and Pedal are housed in the taller case against the balcony's back wall. The cases feature shapes and forms found elsewhere in the church, and are made of solid white oak. The main case has a three-sided central projection surmounted by a canopy and gold-leafed crown, in imitation of the reredos. Pipe shades are of a contrasting wood color and highlighted with gold leaf and red enamel, relating to other colors in the room. The front pipes are made of highly polished English tin. The consultant was The Rev. D. J. Dunlap. Wind pressures are Great 3", Swell 4", and Pedal ", 4",
and 41/2
".

The Berghaus Organ Company, Inc., Bellwood, IL, has built a three-manual and pedal organ for Trinity Lutheran Church, Lisle, IL, which has recently moved into a new larger sanctuary. The Swell and Great divisions are located in chambers placed on either side of the chancel, with the Positiv and higher-pitched Pedal stops in cases located in front and to either side of these chambers; 54 ranks, 3,004 pipes; key and stop action is electric slider. The organ also features total MIDI capability: "MIDI TO" drawknobs bring MIDI sounds to each manual; MIDI pistons, MIDI expression shoes, a synthesizer sustain pedal, and sequencer enable the organist to play music in both traditional and contemporary styles. The organ's two sound modules, the Proteus 2XR and the Roland JV-880, are built into the console, immediately below the music rack. Speakers for the MIDI functions are encased as part of the organ's pipe facade. The church's music director is Norb Malenke. Trinity Lutheran Church offers worship services in three styles: traditional/liturgical, a traditional and contemporary blend, and contemporary.

Fabry, Inc., Fox Lake, IL, has installed a rebuilt organ at The Christian Catholic Church, Zion, IL. Orginally built by Welte-Mignon, opus 289, 4 manuals, 59 ranks, in 1929 for St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Chicago, it was totally rebuilt and re-engineered for the new location. All parts were re-used with the exception of four new blowers, a new four-manual movable console, new solid state combination action, all solid state relays, new rectifiers, and new 2"
thick oak frames with actions for every division. When complete the organ will
have a full, functioning facade, a celestial division, and a positiv division.

Faucher Organ Company, Biddeford, ME, has built a new organ for St. Martin's Church, Somersworth, NH. The firm's opus 13, of 20 ranks, is placed in an elevated position facing the central axis of the church. The Swell and Great chests are side by side, screened by acoustically transparent fiberglass mesh and mahogany latticework; the facade pipes are from the 8' Principal. Electro-mechanical main chests and electro-pneumatic offset chests are controlled by the firm's own solid-state switching and coupling system, and the console is fitted with a solid-state combination action. Craftsmen for this project included Steve Leighton, Kevin Lindsay, Ron Goulet, Tom Kovacevic, Chris Peterson, and Dale Spainhower. Tonal finishing was done by Larry Ouellette and Robert Faucher, tonal and artistic director.
