Norberto Guinaldo has been invited to be part of the 60th anniversary of Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church of New Paltz, New York, and play the c. 1890 Pilcher tracker that was in his home for 36 years. The organ was installed in the new sanctuary 15 years ago and rebuilt and tonally updated by organ builder Jeremy Cooper of New Hampshire. Guinaldo visited the organ in 2014; the instrument, once of seven stops, has been enlarged to twelve.
Guinaldo subsequently wrote a collection of ten pieces exclusively for the instrument’s resources, called The New Paltz Organ Book, which he offered to Redeemer as a gift in memory of Mary Louise Farley, whose vision made the tracker organ in the church a reality, and in appreciation for her children’s generosity.
The published set is available for purchase at Guinaldo’s website, along with a recording of this and other works of his.
