Holy Trinity's Organ
OUR ORGAN
Möller/Rodgers/Ruffatti
30 ranks, 3 manuals, 5 divisions
Installed April/May 2007
The main organ (Swell, Great and Pedal divisions) is located in the front of the nave. Some of the pipes of the unenclosed Great Division can be seen in the arch on the right side of the chancel.
The enclosed Swell is located opposite, to the left of the chancel.
With both the Rück Positiv and Choir Organ in the back, there are ample tonal resources for choral accompaniment and a great variety of colors for organ literature and congregational accompaniment. These divisions also function beautifully in striking dialog with the divisions in the front as well as making possible stunning antiphonal effects.
The Rück Positiv was designed and built by Fratelli Ruffatti of Padua, Italy. It consists of four ranks: Gedeckt 8’, Prinzipal 4’ (& 2’), Koppelflöte 4’ and Larigot 1 1/3’. Just behind the Rück Positiv sits the Rodgers 3-manual custom console, which features 100 levels of combination memory, a piston sequencer, adjustable bench, lighted music rack and much more.
The Choir Division, located just behind the console, was built by Möller, and was originally located at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago.
