Greenbush Reformed Church – East Greenbush, NY
Greenbush Reformed Church was struggling along with their failing pipe organ. To add to the problem, even at full organ, the organ could barely keep up with congregational singing due to the fact the pipework was buried and speaking from deep chambers behind a large archway.
The growing music program also demanded a more flexible instrument to be able to perform more organ literature and to support different types of music. The church chose a large Custom Allen Organ and a Four-Manual platform with 106 stops and 2 different specifications.
Immaculate Conception Church – Glenville, NY
We were pleased to announce the installation of a new Custom Allen Organ for Immaculate Conception Church.
It is indeed rare for an organ builder to have such a fine music program and wonderful building to work with; but, it is also quite rewarding to have a willing partner to explore the capabilities of the instrument and to be able to design a truly one-of-a-kind, comprehensive specification.
The rich and generously scaled multiple choruses throughout the organ divisions provide the foundation for leading congregational singing. To provide the backbone for each of the organ’s divisions, full Principal choruses are specified. Choral works are supported by an abundance of rich 8’ stops, colorful flutes, a large variety of solo reeds, and numerous String and Celeste stops.
As for the ability to serve as a recital instrument, with 21st century digital technology and with its 6 unique independent and properly scaled and voiced tonal specifications, the organ has the tonal resources to allow the organist to authentically perform any organ literature written during the last five and a half centuries!
We were honored to have been commissioned to build this instrument for Immaculate Conception Church. Designing, building, and installing this instrument was a totally rewarding experience for us! The incomparable organist Diane Bish performed the dedicatory concert in May 2015.
