Nunc Dimittis

In 1967 I heard that there was an interesting old organ in St. Peter Catholic Church in Bordelonville, Louisiana. I went to see the organ and found a small completely encased instrument in a filagree case with a handsome inlaid nameboard indicating that it was built by Louis Debierre, Nantes.

Died March 1

I’m thinking about the contrast between the usefulness that results from anything that was designed well and the uselessness of poor design.

Sebastian Matthaus Gluck, New York, NY, has built a new organ, Opus 6, for The Evangelical
Lutheran Church of Christ, New York, NY. All carpeting and padding were removed
from the church, adding two seconds of reverberation, and the organ site was
relocated to the front of the church, framing the window. The transept was
restored to return the building to its original cruciform, and a movable altar
and console were provided.
