The Pipe Organ at Faith Christian

My good friend Daniel and I are preparing for a concert in Elmhurst. The church at which we are performing - Faith Christian Reformed Church - has a magnificent pipe organ. Therefore, Daniel excitedly wrote organ transcriptions for two of our pieces: Largo from the New World Symphony ("Goin' Home") by Antonin Dvorak; and The Lord's Prayer by Albert Hay Malotte.

Needless to explain to any of you organ enthusiasts reading this, we had so much fun yesterday getting ready for the concert. I will be playing J. S. Bach's choral prelude In dir ist Freude ("In Thee is Gladness"), which is beautifully represented on this organ.


Some of the swell pipes.


The big 16' vibraters. : )


Pipes along the sanctuary wall.


Reed pipes.

Where I spent most of yesterday. : )
