THREE PLAY AT DEDICATION Edmund Sereno Ender presides over four-manual in Gethsemane Church -- Stanley R. Avery and J. S. Woodruff Assist. Edmund Serene Ender gave the dedicatory recital on an organ by the Hall Company of New Haven, Conn, in Gethsemane church at Minneapolis October 20 with the assistance of two prominent local organists, J. S. Woodruff of Calvary church and Stanley R. Avery of St. Mark's. In connection with the opening concert, it was announced that Mr. Ender would not let the organ pass into destitude, but would give twenty-minute recitals on it every Sunday evening before the service. The Hall Company, which has been placing a number of organs in the northwest, takes special pride in this four-manual which has eleven stops on the Great, thirteen on the Swell, seven in the Choir, two in the Solo and nine on the Pedal. The Diapason for July contained the specification. The dedicatory program was as follows: Concert Overture in B minor, James H. Roger {Nr. Ender}; Concert Overture, Faulkes; Canzonette Vocorinski [Mr. Woodruff]; Meditation, Massnett [sic]; Evening Bells and Cradle Song, Macfarlane; Paean, Matthews [Mr. Enders]; Dedication (Symphonic March), S. R. Avery (played by the composer); Toccata, h. N. Bartlett [Mr. Ender}. |
