Notes: The great Cathedral Organ has gone through a number of evolutions over the years. In 1928, a four-manual organ was installed by the Welte Organ Company. The instrument, designed by Charles Courboin, organist of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, and Stanley Avery, organist of St. Mark's from 1909-1949, was well known for the breadth and beauty of its ensemble. Avery was one of the founders of the Twin Cities Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. See further entries for this organ to witness its changes.
