This was the grand finale of Wanamaker Organ Day 2007 with Florida's Singing Sons Boychoir - Craig Denison, director; the Philadelphia Brass; and Peter Richard Conte at the 461 rank pipe organ. The sound was too immense to be captured by a small camera. You have to hear it in person!

  • The choir had a few solos, but for the finale, everybody was singing. (You had to be there)

  • There are only two or three chords that are "different". As far as the brass and organ arrangement, write to Peter Richard Conte, organist, Macy's, City Center, Philadelphia and ask him if he still has the arrangement. He is really nice.

  • At the next presidential election, one of the songs played should be an organ solo!

  • This recording should should be put on CD and used at the Superbowl, Indy 500, World Series, Olympics (when USA wins gold medals, of course) rather than the crap we heard from Cristina Aguillera or the "Roseanthems".

  • OMG!!! This has to be the most moving rendition of the national anthem I've ever heard! I have heard this organ before, but I would fly across the country to hear this one arrangement!

  • In reading several comments asking why American Organs don't sound like European Organs is the same as asking the reverse. The Wanamaker Organ is an Ochestral Organ unlike a Cathedral organ. It was built to have a very romantic sound so the play very romantic music. From the Flying Dutchman to Danny Boy to South Pacific. John, and son Rodman W. Are American Saints.

  • what an amazing sound !!!!!

  • God bless the United States of America

    God bless the Army of the United States of America

  • @LegoOlof Macy's in Philly. Used to be the Wannamaker Store. Right accross the square from city hall.
