Wanamaker Organ Tuned Gongs get taken for a brief Test Drive
The Wanamaker Organ's newest pastel color stop gets a short workout. Apologies that it was not possible to play and aim the phone at the same time. There is also some console wind noise.

this organ looks and sounds just MIND BLOWING, hoping I get to see it in person soon :D
Do they still do that at Macy's in Philly ?
It's amazing to hear this religious work of Haendel in a department store !
Everyone: Watch for the annual Wannamaker Organ Day in Philadelphia in June. Terrific!!
Very interesting, thanks! Regards from Baltimore.
Simply beautiful. All those Vox Humanas singing together in the Franck Chorale are sublime.
Fabulous.
Absolutely love this! Wish I could have been there and sung with them!
I'm still amazed about this mamoth massive musical instrument. I havent heard anything else like this instrument . Definitey this instrument is like no other kind of pipe organ I've ever heard. My 1st time hearing this organ was when Keith Chapman performed on this the NBC News Interview in my highschool yrs. I still have an several LP records & CD's of this instrument. The sound of clicking controls & rumbling of the building shake - still gives me Goose Bumps Today - Oh what a rush. Truly Philadelphians have Great Priceless TREASURE - Like no other known - Especially for a Department Store . One Of A Kind *****.
The gongs sound like a celesta or organ harp. I expected a brassy GONG sound!
Alas what's in a name? They are a sort of harp made from tuned bars over brass resonators that resemble canteens and proide a sort of hollow resonance. All the glass at the top of the Grand Court does its part as a resonance chamber of its own
Do you know if it’s a new-built unit, or something “re-homed” from elsewhere? I’m guessing it must be pretty big scale to be that big at the console?
amazing
What a beautiful, rich sound!
Sad footnote: Charles Callahan passed away on 12/25/2023. Great composer and organist.
I have sung this and wish I knew it sooner. Studied this at 10 but could never understand the words. 2:18
I'm have been a church organist for 56 years but THIS still gives me goose bumps and my eyes tear every time I watch it.
This has to be what heaven sounds like ~ transports us directly to the throne room of God 🙏💙🙏💙🙏

Fantastic! What a Great use of this valuable and historic organ. It will fit right in at Wanamakers and will be much loved and appreciated once more. And it will be well cared for. Bravo!
wow! - biggest flashmob ever?
I listen to this every Thanksgiving eve, and on Thanksgiving Day.......
The director looks like a tiny little bug directing in comparison to how massive the place is and how tiny the people on the floor look. Yet what a powerful performance!
Amazing!

Anybody know what happened to the instrument in Egyptian Hall?
I love this song so very much. ❤️
It’s so beautifully taken. I want to use it in my school project.
I never tire of watching this video. Such a beautiful and ethereal sound.
Arrangement is beautiful
Listening to this with GOOD HEADPHONES makes me feel like I was there in person❤😭😍
Organs and the music written for them are one of humanity’s greatest achievements.
I loved going at lunchtime to Wanamaker's (will always be Wanamaker's to me) for the noon concerts on the organ. Just amazing to see and hear. Philly girl for life 💚🦅🏈
Beautiful Harmonization, registration and legato fingering! Bravo!!!!
Organ Professor John Binsfeld III of Temple University and Music Director at Christ Church Philadelphia. He proudly taught generations of future organists. Bravo to a life well lived!
John Binsfeld was my Organ Professor at Temple University! The greatest music teacher and mentor I ever had!!!!!! He was legendary in his musicianship, teaching and passion for excellence!! 45 Years as Organist at Christ Church Philadelphia and I believe just as many years playing the Wanamaker Organ. He also played for Pope John Paul II visit to Philadelphia in 1976. I will never forget how he played the Bach Christmas Oratorio, Numerous Bach Cantatas, Faure and Duruflé Requiems and so much more with the Christ Church Choir! He loved God and using music to worship and adore Him. Thanks for this beautiful recording of my dear friend. Ron Coles
That’s Dr. Audsley 3:44
Wow... By the time you finish the organ you may need to start again.
Makes more sense with part 1
What happened to part 1
Please go to this link: th-cam.com/video/lteH87-Su-c/w-d-xo.html
I wonder what happened to that magnificent console?
It is believed the Wanamaker's modified it to command the New York Auditorium Organ. That console is now in the hands of a collector in Victoria, Texas.
Lest we not forget about Mrs. Edows at Ocean Grove Auditorium as well.
I first encountered this instrument in 1977 with John at the console. He was on of the staff organists covering for Keith Chapman at the time. Thank you for your years of contributions to the organ world. R.I.P., John.
It’s wonderful to hear your pearly tones and absorb some of your limitless knowledge on TH-cam Mr. Barone!! This history of the spectacular Wanamaker Organ is really appreciated. Another would be to have “Pipe Dreams” available here too. Thank You!
A great walk back in time! There's more to St. Louis than Judy Garland!
Just bought the cd after not being able to find it ANYWHERE
🇦🇺 Thank you Michael. A most remarkable stroll down memory lane. One has to wonder the purpose and origins of all those international exhibition centres, and how they quickly disappeared from sight and memory. Whenever I’m in Philadelphia, first stop is always the Eanamaker Bldg. I hope to make the 2024 exhibition day. 🙏
Nice to see an artist at work like this! (don't sneeze!!)
Fabuloso!!!!
Beautiful 😊
Wow
👍magnifico! 🙏
