I have an interesting history. I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland by a woman who had dual citizenship -- she was born in Scotland, emigrated to the US. She "got into trouble", and went to Scotland to hide out with her parents until she'd birthed me, then as soon as we were both able to travel, we both came back to Southern California, and I was put up for adoption, since it was then quite a taboo to be a single mother in the mid-1950s. My adoptive parents also were British (Mum -- Yorkshire), and Scottish (Dad, born in Glasgow). I was steeped in the British/Scottish lifestyles and was very carefully taught my manners in the tradition of the many children who came up in the UK. My accent turned out to be a very interesting mish-mash of Mum's North-of England accent and Dad's gutteral Clydeside Scottish accent. Long story short, I still have a great respect for the UK and its many years of tradition, and I know this tune both as the secondary American National Anthem ("My County 'Tis Of Thee"), and also as "God Save the Queen" (now God Save the King"). I had the thrill of playing this organ in the summer of 1976 while Dr. Keith Chapman was still the titulaire there. I had just graduated from the University of Southern California with my Masters in Church Music, and was going through Army boot camp at nearby Fort Dix, NJ. I was visiting longtime family friends who lived in a Philadelphia suburb over a weekend pass. I signed the guest register, PFC G. Mark Caldwell, MCHMus. This caught the attention of Dr. Chapman, so he offered me "hands-on" for the 10am concert. I was a "special" for the concert.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful concert with the online community! It's always a pleasure to hear the organ in person, but travelling to Philadelphia for every concert isn't always possible, so this is a close second! I hope that it helps to expose more people to this amazing music and instrument. Congratulations to the Friends, Dr. Turk, and all others involved for putting on a great event. I hope to be able to make it to Philadelphia again soon to see an event in person!

If you go to Philly for a Wanamaker Organ even I highly recommend going for Wanamaker Organ day. The organ sound so good in the Summer. That is why they record the organ in the Summer. I would get a hotel room early as Organ Day happens the same weekend as Philly Pride so rooms sell out faster.

An ignorant person speaking, forgive me... But How do they change the stops? I've watched her hands and feet and also the person turning pages and I can't for the life of me see how the stops are changed! Sometimes many stops are altered in a fraction of a second, but neither of the people seem to be responsible for doing it? How is it done? So I've just now watched the video further, and when some organists are playing, their helper is pressing a button on the lower keyboard that changes the stops, but with other organists that button is NOT being pressed by anyone, yet the stops are still somehow changing... This really intrigues me, I won't sleep until I know how this is happening!

The amazing thing about the great organs-of which this is truly one-is that (except for commercially manufactured ones) no two are the same. This six manual organ is truly a king among kings, with a nearly infinite variety of sounds. One can see why the organ is called the king of instruments.
