Rededicated Cathedral of St. John The Divine, NYC

11AM Rededication Service - 1st video of the restored Great Aeolian Skinner Organ, Op. 150B, featuring the world renowned State Trumpet stop. This Processional Hymn is 'O God of Every Nation', by William Watkins Reid, Jr. The Cathedral's Associate Organist and Choirmaster Timothy J. Brumfield performs.

Please forgive the shaky camerawork - I recorded this on my Canon S5 digicam while standing in the Nave.

What a demonic roman catholic place...

[livzdave]

@thelamb777 Um, not sure what you mean by demonic, but this is an Episcopal cathedral - it is not RC. Maybe you are thinking of St. Patrick's?

[notredameswarrior1]

now that is a festive trumpet. its ashame why its in the bad section of new york..its a heck of a place and a heck of a organ

[livzdave]

@notredameswarrior1 Um, Morningside Heights is not a 'bad' section of NYC....

[bikdav]

@MTheChequeGuy You are so right. There is NOTHING like a good pipe organ.

I would love to see that trumpet solo at the beginning made into its own piece; those trumpets sound fantastic

[mrstevecbournias]

I would like to see an NAVE section located behind the State Trumpet as follows: Grand Principal 16,Grand Principal 8, Grand Octave 4, Grand Fifteenth 2 II, Grand Mixture X,Major Posaune 16,Major Trumpet 8,Major Clarion 4,Eclat X; Nave Pedal: Majorbass unit 32-16-8 ,Trombone Magna unit 32-16:note; all of the Grand Principals to be of 2/7 mouth design, all of the reeds harmonic on 25'' with open parallel shallots;the aforementioned would add a ''splash'' to any full organ combination !!!!!!!

wow, what an organ, I regret terribly that I didn't attend a worship when I was in New York

@etbuk No worries, your English is great!

[chrisstrudley]

@thelamb777 To "The Lamb"...lol You just called a non catholic cathedral demonic!!!!! LOL classic! Alas, how true is your comment about this place being demonic..everything non-catholic is because it is separated from the true Church of Christ, that is the Church in Rome.

@thelamb777

Now a-days it takes five seconds to do an incling of research; your comment is a non sequitur and completely ignorant.

What beautiful music to the Lord. It was a thrill for me to see Cardinal Eagan in the procession. Was that Archbishop Dolan next to him? I would love to attend Eucharist in this holy place!

@thelamb777 LOL wow what a childish and uneducated troll you are.....the Episcopal Church has it's roots in ENGLAND if you want to get technical/historical. Also, another LOL if you're grouping St Patrick's Cathedral and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine together and as "demonic." You clearly don't have a clue what St. John's/the Episcopal Church is all about. :)

...When Philippe Petit walked a high wire across Amsterdam Ave to commemorate the restart of construction the Daily News commented that the performer was safer up in the air than the spectators on the streets below!

@livzdave Bad reputations die hard. M'side Heights was a no man’s land back in the 1970’s thru early 90’s. It was part of the dirty, scary, gritty NYC you see in films of that era. Scenes from Death Wish were filmed nearby - Yes, Charles Bronson chased thugs right behind the cathedral. Low rents $300 a month and under for spacious pre-war apts and people still left in droves! How things have changed!
