The 1958 Church Organ Report

That guy playing "In Dulci Jubilo" just about put me to sleep with his dreary rendition! It's a joyous Christmas carol, not a funeral dirge!

Translated from Latin the title is literally "In Sweet Jubilation" but is usually known in English by the title of the chorale associated with it, "Good Christian Men, Rejoice" (politically correcticized in some modern hymnals to "Good Christians All, Rejoice" or "Good Christian Friends, Rejoice." UGH)

See if y'all don't like this version better:

Lord yes!!

But Charles...thats about as fast as you can play that old thing, I remember Stan talking about how slow the responce was on those early Whurlitzer electrics.

Organs

I love to hear the sound of a good organ, and I'm fortunate that we have a couple of good organs in my locality (both pipe organs)....

I managed to get a redundant Livingston 2M+P electronic a few years ago, which now resides in my living room. I can 'knock out a tune', but I'm by no means an Organist. I greatly admire those who can really PLAY!!

All best

Hello Organ fanatics! I found one or two old ads while doing some scanning for Arh1953, I'm sure you would love them!


 


This one is for Baldwin!

I thought this was for an organ, turns out it was for Steinway Pianos! oh well, I'm sure one or nine of you will get a kick out of it! 

 

[super-sweeper]

Nevermind, found the other organ ad! something call Conn Organ or something!
