Saint
Ann's Catholic Church
Midland, Texas
Announcing
the completion of a
4-Manual Allen Heritage Organ
Pictured
above is the stylish drawknob console (real drawknobs) and organ facade of 16'
Principal pipes. The main organ chamber includes Swell, Great, Choir and Pedal.
The Solo Organ speaks from divided chambers behind and beside the altar and
contains a wide variety of solo voices, including a commanding chorus of Festival
Tubas at 16-8-4. Great-Swell-Choir and Pedal also speak from divided antiphonal
chambers in the rear gallery.
The organ was heard in public performance for the first time on Palm Sunday
to critical acclaim. Opening celebrations include an Organ Master Class with
Michael Stairs (Organist for the Philadelphia, PA Orchestra) and a Dedication
Concert with "First Lady of the Organ", Diane Bish.
