Builder: Reuter Organ Co, Opus 1578, 1967 Manuals: 3 Ranks: 27 + Action: Electropneumatic Notes: From Facebook photos it is evident that the prepared Antiphonal was installed in the chancel on the left. See photo. The dedication concert may have been played by David N. Johnson, who had just left St. Olaf for Syracuse the year before. I have recollection of attending a concert he played in a church that looked much like this. -- David Engen GREAT 8' Principal 61 8' Bourdon 61 4' Octave 61 4' Spillflöte 61 2' Fifteenth 61 Fourniture III 183 8' Trompette-en-chamade 61 Chimes SWELL 8' Rohrflöte 61 8' Viole de Gambe 61 8' Viole Celeste 49 4' Hohlflöte 61 2' Rohrflöte 24 1.3/5' Tierce 61 16' Trumpet (ext) 8' Trumpet 61 4' Rohrschalmei 61 Tremolo POSITIV 8' Gedeckt 61 4' Nachthorn 61 2' Principal 61 1.1/3' Larigot 61 Zimbel II 122 8' Krummhorn 61 Tremolo 8' Trompette-en-chamade (Gt) ANTIPHONAL PEDAL 16' Bourdon 32 16' Rohrgedeckt 12 (Sw) 8' Octave 32 8' Bourdon 12 8' Rohrflöte (Sw) 5.1/3' Twelfth -- 4' Choralbass 32 4' Bourdon 12 16' Trumpet 12 (Sw) 8' Trumpet (Sw) 4' Rohrschalmei (Sw) |

From THE DIAPASON: The Reuter Organ Co. has been awarded a contract
for a three-manual 27-rank instrument for the Redeemer Lutheran
Church, Rochester, Minn. The organ will be installed in a
free-standing manner in the gallery of the church. Pipework of the
Great, Swell and Pedal sections will be placed along the rear of the
balcony in an elevated position above and behind the choir singers.
The Great and Pedal pipework will be exposed and arranged in an
attractive visual design, while the Swell pipework will be contained
within a free-standing swell box to one side of the exposed
pipework. The Positiv pipework along the Trompette-en-Chamade will
be cantilevered from the gallery rail. The console is to be placed
on a specially-constructed platform so that it also will be
cantilevered in front of the main gallery area and situated between
the Positiv and Trompette-en-chamade pipes. The entire balcony also
has been extended forward in order to provide adequate room for the
organ and choir. Negotiations for the sale of the instrument were
handled by John A. Frykman, Minneapolis, district representative for
the firm. Mr. Frykman will handle the installation of the organ,
which is scheduled for the Fall of this year [1967]. --Information from Jeff Scofield. |
