Piping Up! The 1958 Austin Organ at First Presbyterian that Almost Never Existed
Episode 18 of Piping Up with Stephen Regec
Welcome to this special presentation of the historic 3 manual, 59 rank, Austin organ at First Presbyterian Church in Allentown, PA! This magnificent instrument, installed in 1958, remains a beloved centerpiece of the church's traditional services. Join us as we explore its rich history and enjoy a captivating performance by our esteemed organist, Matthew Wehr.
Matthew Wehr has been the main organist at First Presbyterian Church for several years, having previously served as the assistant organist (2003-2015). His passion for music extends beyond the church as he holds the position of Music Choir Teacher and Music Department Chair at Southern Lehigh Valley High School District.
The Austin organ, cherished by the congregation, has largely retained its original form since its installation. Aside from regular tuning and maintenance, only one additional pipe rank was installed in the year 2000 after its debut. This video not only showcases the organ's beautiful tones but also celebrates the dedication and talent of Matthew Wehr.
Join us for an unforgettable musical journey and experience the timeless elegance of the 1958 Austin organ at First Presbyterian Church in Allentown, PA.

    why does the pedal not have 64' and multiple 32' reeds in the pedal? 1 digital 32' reed. A 240 rank organ should have at least that. What were they thinking?

    • @Piping_Up
      @Piping_Up 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They don't have room for a 64'. Walker doesn't have a speaker that can be that low of a frequency. There are only two organs in the world that are 64'. The Diaphone-Dulzian in Boardwalk hall, Atlantic City and the Contra-Trombone in Sydney Town Hall.

      Hi there. It has a real 32’ bourdon. It did have a 32’ bombarde but it wasn’t successful because it had to be in the solo. The walker 32’s are incredibly effective and successful. A few changes will be made at some point.

    The front/nave or congregation facing facades and corbels and pipe sills were removed in the 1960’s and replaced with grills and grill cloth after some modifications made under Springer in conjunction with Austin tonal director Richard Piper to the Great principal chorus. In the 1990’s we (Austin Organs, Inc.) received a phone call from the church that there were some renovations going on and that they wanted these facades back. I found the original facade and corbel drawings, gave them to the designers and Austin recreated the originals and installed them.

    @markshultz5032 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    From one self taught organist to another, some things I wish I would have learned earlier… learn the pipe families so that you’re able to register. Most of your registrations sound more like a Lowery than a pipe organ. It sounds like you have tremolo on constantly, which isn’t proper for a classical organ and not for most hymns or service settings. I have a recording of “How Great Thou Art” on my channel from a service on a very similar instrument in a church about the same size as yours with a slight larger congregation. It’s pretty old, but I think it’s a decent example of how that hymn could be registered and played. I would really suggest viewing the AGO beginning organist series, they have a lot of pointers, especially for service playing: th-cam.com/play/PLSJ9JGlhsPJuklW5F3yEQSXhpJzPgAJcL.html&feature=shared. Hats off to you for keeping the music going for your congregation!
