  • May i please ask who are you sending your works in order to be published/copyrighted, Capricornboy? I have written some pieces myself, as well as Organ arrangements and i haven't yet located someone/a company willing to copyright/publish them. Thank you in advance and glad to meet you :).

  • That sumbitch can wail! i wonder what Keith Emerson would sound like on it. Or Rick Wakeman. Or the guy who played for "Yes". Was it tony Banks? Or that lady who appears on TV with the Christian network. i'll bet they could really rattle the walls....

  • Both are large organs, St. Johns is a larger building, and both are different types of organs, I believe St. John the Divine has an Aeoline Skinner, and St. Patricks is or was a Kilgen both are around a hundred ranks give or take, although from what I've noticed the St. Patricks organ sounds larger because it has less space to fill. Both have excellent acoustics.

  • Hi NatesChannel:  What do you think of Saint John the Divine, Amsterdam Avenune?

  • If interested in the truth, search youtube for "Real historical Patrick by Richard Bennett" an ex Priest who tells his story of how he discovered the real historical Patrick. Patrick was the son of a deacon and grandson of a Presbyter in the British/Celtic Church. The Celtic Churches were in existence centuries before the 4th century papal church. Rome usurped the Celtic Church (Patrick's congregation) in a bull dated 1155AD and rented Ireland to the English RC King. Known as Peter's penny.

  • Wow almost the same thing happened to me in Boston a few years ago, there was a big rain storm and we ran into Trinity Church, and would you know it, there somebody practicing on the organ!

  • I used to teach organ and am now in the process of publishing a few compositions :P

  • Curiously 1 year ago today (october 9th 2007) my wife and I were in NYC, we had to run for shelter from a massive rain storm in the late evening, St Patricks was the nearest...inside we were met with an organ recital practice and I swear to god it was the most moving experience....the sound of the organ, the sheer size and *power* of the architecture inside moved us both almost to tears. I googled organ st patricks just there and foujhd this - awesome !

  • they played this at my graduation at St. Patricks

  • I love that Cathedral. Behind the altar they have adoration of the blessed sacrament...you see mother Theresa's nuns back there praying sometimes.
