Andrew Ager, the music director at St. James Cathedral in Toronto, explains how to work the console of the cathedral organ. See thestar.com for more news and information. (July 26, 2008)
Ya, it's sure sounding ripe in this video! WHEW!!! I'm performing here on August 23rd, 13:00 if anyone who stumbles across this video is floating around the area. Works of Sir Ernest MacMillan, Dupre and the Sonata Eroica by Joseph Jongen. Woohoo!!!
I would love to have a hi def audio demo of this organ.The only time I heard it play was years ago in an IMAX movie at Ontario Place,but only for a very short time.
@steveslike I'm not sure if you're asking Mr. Ager or the youtube fans, but to try to answer the question: it depends on how the organ is constructed within the building.
A great Organ.Every Tuesday at 1 p.m.there is a Organ Recital for half an hour and I sometimes go to enjoy the free recital.I met Andrew Ager before; he is an accomplished Organist.Thanks for the explanations Andrew.I am very happy to live in Toronto and be able to attend the recitals on Tuesdays.

Can you control where the sound comes from? So if you wanted all of the sound from the back of the church you could set it a certain way?

Too bad the explanation is so brief. There is so much more to be said.
