Welcome The 2016 L’Organo series is celebrating 37 years of great music! Recitalists will present two gala evening and ten weekday programs over two weeks on a varied array of instruments. Once a local and regional series, today we proudly feature talent from all over the continental United States including university professors, church musicians, seasoned virtuosi, students, and “rising stars.” It is wonderful to have St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church back in the fold after two years of extensive restoration. Marble replaces carpet down the center aisle, enhancing the acoustics, and the organ console has up-to-date solid-state combination action. The newly refurbished chamber housing the Chancel organ includes the addition of Principals 8’ and 4’, and new 16’ pipes in the pedal. Many of our attendees have indicated an interest in the history of organs heard in the series. This year’s program book features an expanded and annotated section focusing on instruments past and present. For over 250 years, from 1761 to 2016, congregations in Charleston have recognized the need for musical accompaniment to support the singing of hymns and the overall enhancement of worship services. These histories recount the specifications and designs of the organs by the finest American and English builders in the early years and continue with descriptions and stoplists of the modern organs. Included are the fates of the instruments from fire, war/thievery, earthquake, hurricane, and years of significant wear, followed by the congregations’ determination to repair, restore, or replace. Our audience numbers have increased dramatically over the past few years, and we sincerely appreciate your patronage and financial support. Thank you for helping to maintain the fine performance tradition of this unique series featuring the “King of Instruments.” Special thanks to the congregations, clergy, and organists of the host churches who so kindly provide the use of their buildings, practice time, and air-conditioned comfort. I hope you will be encouraged to attend each recital. Robert Gant, Chairman L’Organo

Bethel United Methodist Church A. E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Company, Lithonia, GA (2004) The Bethel congregation, established in 1797, sang without musical instruments until 1874, when the Board of Stewards wrote in its minutes: After given the subject full consideration, we are of the opinion that an improvement in our singing is desired by a large number of our congregation; and that this can be obtained by the use of an instrument of some kind.1 Bethel’s first keyboard instrument was a melodeon (a type of nineteenth-century reed organ, usually housed in a table-like case) that was placed in the balcony in 1874.2 Renovations were already underway in the church when the Great Earthquake struck in August 1886. The following year, “Bethel determined not only to repair but to remodel and beautify” by redesigning the chancel area with a choir loft and a chamber housing a hand-pumped organ.3 Built by A. B. Felgemaker Organ Company, Opus 475 was a tracker-action organ with two manuals, 12 ranks, and hand-pumped bellows.4 In 1913, “the music committee was authorized to engage an organ pumper . . . at a salary of $2.00 per month”; by 1921, workers had installed an electric motor-blower.5 In 1934, Austin Organ Company, Hartford, CT, built Opus 1867, with three manuals, 16 stops, 14 ranks, 934 pipes, and electro-pneumatic action; four-and-a-half ranks were added in the 1970s, totaling 1,178 pipes in 18 ½ ranks.6 For over 70 years, Opus 1867 was in use until badly damaged by Hurricane Hugo in September 1989. Although repaired, the organ committee recommended replacing it. In 2004, A. E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Company designed an instrument with three manuals and 51 ranks; it incorporated a romantic orchestral nature with chorus structure, paying homage to the genius of Skinner and Harrison.7 The non-speaking façade pipes and case from the Austin remained visually unchanged and the organ chamber was increased to its present size.8 The dedication ceremony to celebrate the Schlueter organ was on March 28, 2004.

The firm of Derrick & Felgemaker was established in 1866, Buffalo, NY, and relocated to Erie, PA, in 1872. The name changed to A. B. Felgemaker Organ Company in 1875. When it closed in 1918, nearly 1,300 organs had the Felgemaker nameplate; over 330 were portable—a specialty of the firm in its early years.9 Professional performers as well as critics of organ builders held Felgemaker’s pipe organs in the highest regard. The company produced 24 instruments for South Carolina, six of which were located in Charleston: First (Scots) Presbyterian Church, Opus 469; Bethel United Methodist Church, Opus 475; Citadel Square Baptist Church, Opus 562; Masonic Temple, Opus 871; Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal, Opus 482; Trinity Methodist Episcopal, Opus 496.10 17

Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul Gabriel Kney Pipe Organ Builders, Ltd., London, Ontario (1976) Casework by Theodore Charles Bates, London, England (1853)

The first organ in St. Paul’s Church, Radcliffeborough, was installed shortly after completion of the building in 1816, at a cost of $2,600; however, there is no record of the builder. 11 During 1815–20: William Goodrich and Thomas Appleton were working for Mackay & Co. of Boston (earlier styled Hayts, Babcock & Appleton, and also known as the Franklin Musical Warehouse). That firm listed an organ in 1815–1820 for Charleston, but did not name the church. In 1839, Thomas D. Warren, installing an Appleton organ at Trinity Episcopal Church in Columbia, SC, had occasion to travel to Charleston “with some pipes for the organ in St. Paul’s Church,” according to a letter from Thomas Appleton.12 This organ was sold in 1853 to make way for an instrument built by Theodore Charles Bates, 6 Ludgate Hill, London, at a cost of $5,000.13In order to accommodate the larger Bates case, construction on the west gallery wall began by extending it several feet into a design resembling an archery bow. The Bates organ was played for nearly six decades until 1912, when Austin Organ Company, Hartford, CT, installed Opus 423, a three-manual, 22-rank, electro-pneumatic instrument utilizing the classic nineteenth-century English case.14 The organ console and the choir were moved to the chancel at the east end of the church at that time. (In 1949, St. Paul’s congregation united with St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, which became the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.) In the late 1960s, the choir again sang from the west gallery and the organ console was placed in the south gallery. The Austin organ served until 1974 when it was decided again to place a mechanical-action organ inside the Bates case.15 Gabriel Kney of London, Ontario, built the instrument that has two manuals, 27 stops, 36 ranks, over 1,700 pipes, mechanical key action, and electric stop action.16 The organ “is a superb example of contemporary craftsmanship. The metal pipes were made in Germany and Holland, and the wooden pipes in Canada. . . . The stop knobs are hand lettered Old English from London, England. The old organ case is . . . restored as near as practicality permits to its original beauty.”17 It was the first modern mechanical-action “tracker” instrument to be placed in a South Carolina church. The services of dedication and thanksgiving of the Gabriel Kney organ were on October 2–3, 1976.

Theodore Charles Bates (Active 1812–1864) George (Giles) Longman and Theodore Charles Bates, located at 6 Ludgate Hill from 1826 to 1829, were listed in the London Post Office Directory as “Organ and Pianoforte Makers.”18 The London Gazette printed a notice stating their partnership as “Music-Sellers and Musical-Instrument-Makers” was dissolved by mutual consent on August 1, 1829.19 The January 1832 issue of the Harmonicon printed an advertisement regarding Theodore C. Bates as seller of Dressler’s Flutes from T. C. Bates, Music Warehouse, 6 Ludgate Hill.20 In 1859, the business name became Theodore Bates and Son, continuing successfully until its closing in 1864. Bates made his reputation as a builder of pipe organs, pianofortes, and seraphines (keyed wind instrument with air blown across metallic reeds). He specialized in barreloperated organs, which played psalms and hymn tunes from pinned cylinders. A few organs by Bates are still in existence. Jonathan Wallace of Nottingham restored one such, at the Methodist Chapel, Glentham, England, in 1993. Louis Huivenaar, of the Netherlands, certified appraiser/valuer and restorer of harmoniums and reed organs, says of Theodore C. Bates, “His craftsmanship is perfect!” 21 18

Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (Roman Catholic) Bedient Pipe Organ Company, Lincoln, NE, Opus 22 (1986) On December 30, 1821, a small group of worshipers used a wooden structure as a temporary chapel, built on the northwest side of Broad and Friend (now Legare) Streets. Right Reverend John England, first Roman Catholic Bishop of Charleston, christened it as St. Finbar, and by 1840, the building housed a Henry Erben pipe organ.22 A Gothic-style building, started on July 30, 1850, and consecrated on April 6, 1854, was named the Cathedral of St. John and St. Finbar: “The new Cathedral boasted what must have been a large Erben organ, built in 1854.”23 The Great Fire of December 1861 destroyed much of downtown Charleston, including the Cathedral. The fire, along with the ravages of the War Between the States, the Great Earthquake of August 1886, and the slow economic recovery, prevented the construction of a new building until 1890. In May 1906, the church purchased a pipe organ built by America’s foremost organ builder and master artisan, Ernest Martin Skinner of Boston, MA. The “Specifications of the Organ for The Cathedral. Charlestown. [sic] S.C.” stated in part: The organ to be constructed of the best materials that money can purchase, with the highest finish that skilled labor can impart. The Builder warrants the action and construction in every particular, and agrees to make good at any time defects in materials, workmanship, or methods. The reeds to have a special form of valve insuring perfect speech of tone. The case to be made of any native hard wood, from designs to be submitted for approval. Suitable electric blowing machinery to be provided, the same to be absolutely noiseless in operation. The organ to be erected in the church, tuned, and left ready for use. ($6,750)24 Opus 139 had three manuals, 35 stops, 16 ranks, 957 pipes, and electro-pneumatic action.25 The dedication for the Cathedral and its new pipe organ was on April 14, 1907. Over the years, moisture and water damage rendered the Skinner organ unplayable, and in 1967, the church purchased an electronic Allen as a substitute.26 In 1989, Hurricane Hugo damaged the sanctuary and destroyed most of the Skinner organ. In March 1993, the organ committee recommended purchasing the Bedient Opus 22, originally built for Christ Church Cathedral, Louisville, KY.27 After careful consideration and much discussion, the Cathedral purchased the instrument in 1994. That summer, the Cathedral also purchased a Bedient portative, Opus 50, to use in the sanctuary until the installation of Opus 22 in the rear gallery. Dedicated in November 1994, Opus 50 has one manual, four stops, and five ranks.28 Preparations for installation began with volunteers from the congregation removing the damaged Skinner organ and storing the salvaged pipes at Mepkin Abbey. The rear gallery rail was modified and on September 17, 1995, the same congregation volunteers unloaded the crated pipes of the Opus 22 under the direction of Gene Bedient.29 This French Romantic design was inspired by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, the most distinguished mid-nineteenth-century French organ builder, who introduced innovations such as ventils—levers that add or subtract mixture and reed stops, devices for mechanical crescendo/decrescendo with a graduated swell pedal, and imitations of orchestral instruments. The organ has two manuals, 27 stops, 33 ranks, 1,676 pipes, mechanical key and stop action, and a flat pedalboard. Bedient added two new stops: Cornet II on the Récit and Contre Soubasse 32’ in the Pédale, the latter being primarily composed of a restored rank of pipes from the old Skinner.30 The organ contains a novelty stop found on some nineteenth-century French instruments: Orage, which creates a thunder effect. The dedication service of the Bedient Opus 22 was on November 17, 1995.

Grace Church Cathedral (Episcopal) The Reuter Organ Company, Lawrence, KS, Opus 994 (1952) Before the construction of Grace Church was completed, the vestry appointed a special committee to purchase an organ. On February 21, 1848, the committee reported the following: A contract has been made with Henry Erben of New York, for such a one as would presently suit; abandoning the opinion of the necessity of any future change. The organ will exceed the cost of the one authorized by the vestry to be contracted for, by eight hundred dollars, but from this sum Mr. Erben has kindly consented to deduct four hundred dollars, as a donation from himself to the Church; so that the amount to be paid him will be only sixteen hundred dollars, for which is obtained a much larger and very superior organ to the one designed to have been procured.31 Approved by the vestry, a contract was awarded to Henry Erben, March 6, 1848. The organ, having two manuals, 20 stops, and enclosed in a Gothic-style case, was placed in the center of the chancel in December 1848.32 When the church was renovated in 1859, it was relocated to the gallery over the entrance of the church.33 In 1862, during the War Between the States, the organ was dismantled and stored safely outside the city. By unusual circumstances, the organ from the Huguenot Church was brought to Grace and used until the spring of 1866. The organ of Grace Church was retrieved from its hiding place and reinstalled in its former position. Later that year, it was sold to a Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC, for $1,180 and by April 1, 1867, John Baker had installed a new instrument at a cost of $3,650.34 The Charleston Daily News printed a favorable review: THE NEW ORGAN—It was our privilege last night, in the company of hundreds of others, to be present at the trial of the new organ, just completed for Grace Church. This organ was constructed in Charleston by one of our citizens, Mr. JOHN BAKER, a highly skilled organ builder. The organ is “divided,” allowing the splendid Gothic window in front to be seen between its two halves. . . . There are a great many of the very latest improvements on this organ not to be found on any other in the city. . . . The wood work is finished in a very handsome style, entirely in accordance with the style of Grace. The pinnacles, finials are of the purest Gothic and all the other architectural niceties of this organ are perfectly preserved. . . . the finest instrument for the price we have ever seen in our city. We congratulate the vestry, congregation, and choir of Grace Church on the acquisition of such an [instrument]; and congratulate Mr.BAKER on the eminent success which has crowned his labors. The following gives a technical description of this noble instrument: [two manuals, 19 stops, 21 ranks, 1,056 pipes]. (March 30, 1867) The organ was ruined during the Great Earthquake of August 1886; its battered remains were sold for $300 in 1892.35 At this time, Roosevelt Organ Works, Brooklyn, NY, built Opus 532, a two-manual organ, for $4,000.36 On March 21, 1926, it was resolved that the vestry be authorized to spend a sum not exceeding $8,000 to rebuild the present organ. Specifications in the proposal included a three manual organ, an Echo division, and Chimes; the contract was awarded to Hillgreen, Lane & Company Organ Builders, Alliance OH.37 In 1952, the organ was replaced by Reuter Organ Company, Opus 994; it had three manuals, 46 stops, and 26 ranks. Randall Dyer & Associates, Inc., Jefferson City, TN, added a four-stop Antiphonal division, Opus 19, in 1983. After Hurricane Hugo destroyed the console in 1989, Dyer built a new one in 1991 but without the previous Antiphonal division. The organ received a Reuter high-profile four-manual console in 1997, renovated by Reuter in 2000, tonal enhancement in 2002 and 2004, and Solo-Antiphonal added 2008. In 2011, the Positiv division was enlarged; the Solo division, comprised of stops borrowed from other divisions, was recreated. Both were relocated to the right side of the chancel. The organ has four manuals, 79 ranks, 1,902 pipes, and electronic key and stop action.38 GREAT 16’ Violone 16’ Quintaton (Pos)++ 8’ Principal 8’ Bourdon 8’ Harmonic Flute 8’ Violone (Ext) 4’ Octave 4’ Koppelflöte 2⅔’ Twelfth

John Baker (1814â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1882) A native of Bath, England, John Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early referral as an organ builder was printed in Dwightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journal of Music, 1852.39 In 1853, he worked on the Wm. Gray organ at Harvard and was noted as â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Baker, Organ Builder at Erbenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Establishment, NY, from Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Establishment, London.â&#x20AC;? 40 Archival sources indicate Baker had moved to Charleston by 1854 and was repairing, tuning, and building organs. Documentation of business dealings with Baker are in records from St. Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran Church in 1854, 1864, and 1872, St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church in 1855, 1864, 1865, and 1871, Grace Church in 1867, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huguenotâ&#x20AC;? Church in 1859â&#x20AC;&#x201C;76. The Charleston Daily News and Abbeyville (SC) Press printed advertisements for â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Baker Organ Manufactory, Charleston, S.C.,â&#x20AC;? in 1861, 1867, and 1869. The Charleston Daily News wrote with praise of his work: THE ORGAN AT ST.

The greatest credit is due to Mr. Baker for the careful and scientific manner in which he has made the changes in the musical and mechanical arrangement of this fine organ. (February 18, 1869) A CHARLESTON MECHANIC ABROADâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Savannah Advertiser pays a high compliment to Mr. John Baker, skilled organ builder of this city, for the thorough and satisfactory manner in which he has repaired the organs of the four churches in Savannah, and states in substance that Mr. Baker has made a good reputation in that city. (March 23, 1869) Two organs built by Baker still exist in their original locations: Trinity Episcopal Church, Abbeville, SC, built in 1860, with one manual, seven stops, and eight ranks, was restored 1979-80 by Blakely Organ Builders, Charlotte, NC, with pipes repaired by Knowlton Organ Company, Davidson, NC, under subcontract to Blakely c. 1991, and St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Edgefield, SC, with one manual and ten registers.41 The funeral for John Baker was at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Radcliffeborough, on January 18, 1882. The burial of Baker was in the section of Charlestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Magnolia Cemetery known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outer Circle Old.â&#x20AC;?42 21

(Huguenot) French Protestant Church Henry Erben, New York, NY (1845) Henry Erben, “undoubtedly the most eminent organ builder in America,” built the Huguenot organ in 1845.43 Located in the east gallery over the pulpit, the two-manual, 14-stop, mechanical key and stopaction instrument was enclosed in a three-section Carpenter’s Gothic-style case with florid carvings, and Erben voiced it in a “gentle and refined manner”; it was insured for $2,000.44 During the War Between the States, shellfire damaged the church but the organ was seemingly intact. That is, until this organ attracted the attention of certain members of the Union Army, who determined to send it to New York. The organ was taken apart, and more than half the parts were removed from the Huguenot Church, and placed on a boat for shipment, when Mr. T. P. O’Neale, organist of the Huguenot Church, with influential friends, persuaded the soldiers not to take the organ away from Charleston. The organ was then brought to Grace Church where it was used until the spring of 1866, when it was returned to the Huguenot Church. Mr. O’Neale served as organist while the organ remained in Grace Church. He then returned to the Huguenot Church with the organ.45 John Baker added a Bourdon 16’ sometime between 1859 and 1876; over a half-century later, James N. Reynolds from Atlanta replaced the Trumpet 8’ with a Keraulophon 8’ and enlarged the compass of the pedal clavier in 1929.46 Hartman–Beaty Organ Company, Englewood, NJ, replaced the 1929 Keraulophon 8’ with a Trumpet 8’, installed a Bassoon 8’, and extended the Pedal division by adding five treble pipes in 1969.47 James Polzois replaced the 20-note pedalboard with a new 27-note clavier in 1984.48 Knowlton Organ Company, Davidson, NC, restored the instrument to its original specification in 1997.49 It is the most historically intact working instrument of its period in Charleston. This organ received the “Historic Organ Citation Number 2, 09-03-1975,” given by the Organ Historical Society in recognition of its value worthy of preservation.

Henry Erben (1800–1884) The City Gazette, Charleston, South Carolina printed an announcement for organ building: HALL & ERBEN, Church and Chamber ORGAN BUILDERS, New-York, respectfully inform their

Southern Friends, that having considerably enlarged their Establishment, they are prepared to execute orders for Organs of every description upon shortest notice, and upon the most accommodating terms. All organs built at this Establishment, are warranted. (June 1, 1824) Around the age of 16, Erben began an apprenticeship in the shop of Thomas Hall. By 1824, Hall and Erben, now brothers-in-law, had formed a partnership; it lasted only three years. From 1827 to 1874, Erben managed his own business, Henry Erben–Organ Manufacture. From 1874 to 1879, Erben was in partnership with William M. Wilson under the name of Henry Erben & Co. In 1880, Erben’s son, Charles, joined the business and the name became Henry Erben & Son. Throughout his career of more than six decades, many of the largest, most prestigious churches and cathedrals in the nation sought after his instruments. Erben stated, “It is unnecessary for us to EULOGIZE our instruments, as they are well known. The unprecedented number of first-class Organs that we have turned out and distributed . . . [are] not only the LARGEST, but also the most superior instruments.”50 His work, numbering between 1,250 and 1,875 (his obituary cited 1,734 organs), was to be found throughout the Americas.51 The order from Erben’s 1877 Organ Manufactory catalog listed 17 organs for Charleston: French Protestant, 1845; St. Philip’s, 1833; St. Stephen’s, 1852; St. Peter’s, 1836; Grace, 1837;52 Grace, 1848; St. Finbar’s Cathedral, 1840; Charleston Cathedral, 1854; St. Patrick’s Church, 1848; St. Mary’s, 1867; Hebrew Synagogue, 1841; Congregational, 1854; Baptist Church, 1832; Odd Fellow’s Hall, 1848; German, 1847; German, 1855; Second Presbyterian Church, 1857.53 22

St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church Austin Organs, Inc., Hartford, CT, Opus 2465 (1967) Founded on December 3, 1840, by German-speaking citizens wishing to worship in their native language, the members occupied a newly built Greek Revival edifice at 48 Hasell Street in 1842. On March 14 of that year, Council voted to purchase an organ for $850. On April 8, 1854, it was decided to purchase “a new quality organ . . . to help improve our singing in church,” and by July 12, 1854, “the church had acquired the Cathedral Organ for $1,200 in cash, which is in excellent condition . . . we call a beautiful organ our own.”54 John Baker, organ builder, contracted a fee of $50 for weekly inspections and tuning the organ to keep it in working condition. On July 14, 1864, during the War Between the States, Council deliberated to have it removed for safekeeping. Due to Mr. Baker’s high moving expenses of $650, and difficulty finding a safe place, this did not materialize.55 By October 6, 1864, with limited funds to repair damages caused by the war, Council acknowledged an unforeseen need: The heaviest loss we have endured is that of our organ. Mr. Baker tells us that the main part of it has been taken out by thieves and what is left is only a secondary part or second register. It will be virtually impossible for us to replace this loss anytime soon. Even if we could repair some of the damage, we would not have the money to dismount and remount the instrument. 56 On March 3, 1872, Council conferred on where to place an organ in the newly constructed Gothic Revival sanctuary at 405 King Street. Mr. Baker contracted to build and install the instrument by May 1, 1872, at a cost of $1,100.57 The Great Gale in September 1874 damaged the roof and organ; repairs to the organ required $30–$50.58 On June 1, 1916, Council elected a Ladies’ Committee dedicated to replacing the organ built by Baker. Because of the women’s enthusiastic efforts, by February 1918: The most important occurrence of the entire year was, to our greatest joy, the manufacture, and installation of our new and melodious organ, which has been accomplished in a short time by the amiable and hardworking Ladies’ Committee of the congregation.59 Built by Hinners Organ Company, Pekin, IL, 1918, the three-manual electro-pneumatic action chancel organ cost $5,250.60 In use until 1948, the Hinners organ was replaced with a gallery organ built by Austin Organs, Inc., Opus 2085, having three manuals and 55 ranks.61 On January 13, 1965, a fire destroyed the roof, steeple, interior sanctuary, and the Austin Opus 2085. For the next two years, an electronic organ was in use for services in the church parish hall during the rebuilding of the sanctuary. An Austin gallery organ, Opus 2465, with three manuals, 61 ranks, and 3,464 pipes, was dedicated in 1967.62 Austin installed the Trompette en Chamade in early 2000; six years later, Bedient Pipe Organ Company restored the organ and digitalized the Contra Lieblich Gedeckt 16’ and Contra Bombarde 16’ to a 32’ pitch.63 From 2013 to 2015, while the sanctuary was closed for renovations, Austin restored the console by installing solid-state electronics with new combination action, added two stops to the Chancel division (wooden Principal 8’, 4’), and replaced the Pedal Gedeckt 16’.64 The highly anticipated celebratory service to rededicate the sanctuary and restored Austin console was on June 28, 2015.

St. Michael’s Church Kenneth Jones and Associates, Bray, Ireland (1994) Casework by Johann Snetzler, London, England (1767)

St. Michael’s Church borrowed a small organ for the opening ceremony in February 1761. The next year, Sampson Neyle loaned the church “a very neat chamber organ, front pipes gilt, and has four whole and two half Stops.”65 In 1767, a three-manual organ with 21 stops, 21 registers, and 900 pipes built by Johann Snetzler, “who is now the most considerable, and the most reputable Organ Builder in England,” was purchased for £528 sterling, including shipping and installation.66 William Goodrich of Boston repaired the instrument in 1816.67 In 1833, New York organ builder Henry Erben examined the instrument and presented his assessment to the vestry: “The Organ is much in want of Bass, and the deep and Sonorous tones of the Pedals will give a grand effect.”68By March 1834, John Faucett, an agent from Erben’s shop had installed an octave of pedals and a new wind chest; in 1859, the organ was "expanded again and several new stops were added.”69 During the War Between the States: After a Thanksgiving service November 19, 1863, punctuated by the explosion of falling shells, the Church was ordered closed, the organ . . . [was] removed, and services ceased until November 26, 1865. . . . The organ was stored in the Sunday-school building of St. Paul’s Church, Radcliffeborough, where it remained until replaced in this Church in the late fall of 1865.70 In 1871, John Baker overhauled the organ at a cost of about $1,900; “worn out action was replaced; a combination stop, known as the ‘furniture stop’ [sic] and the ‘bassoon’ were removed.”71 Baker modernized the keyboard by reversing the colors of the sharps, which had been white, and the naturals black; the console, which was en fenêtre, was brought outside the case.72 The Great Earthquake of August 1886 damaged the building, necessitating the dismantling and removal of the organ for approximately ten months. The vestry discussed repair issues in 1894; an expert urged that it would be injudicious to put modern improvements into an old organ, and that it would be really much more economical to build a new one. . . . We had the opinions of probably not fewer than ten to twelve representatives of organ manufacturers, and whilst every one of them recommended a new organ, not one of them would agree to undertake and guarantee a renovation of the old instrument.73 Preservation efforts were unsuccessful. In June 1910, the vestry awarded a contract to Austin Organ Company, Hartford, CT, which considered the proposed estimate to be for “an excellent instrument”: Though the pipework could no longer be repaired, the mahogany case-work was still in such good condition that it could be utilized as the case of the new organ. In the rebuilding, the sides of the old case were swung on line with the front of the organ, and new sides and rear were added. . . . The proportion and grace of the old Snetzler organ were retained; at the same time, the requirements of the modern organ were met.74 By January 27, 1911, Opus 308 with three manuals and 26 ranks was installed, at a total cost of $6,840.76.75 Needing more repairs in 1939, plans were made to electrify a new console and replace the action; Austin Organ Company completed the work by January 1940.76 In 1993, Kenneth Jones and Associates crated the surviving pieces of the original 1767 casing and shipped them to Bray, Ireland, where work began on an instrument for the recreated case. 77 Jones shipped the new organ back to Charleston in March 1994. It has three manuals, 40 stops, 51 ranks, 2,519 pipes, tracker key action, and mechanical stop action with parallel electric stop action.78 The service of thanksgiving and blessing of the Kenneth Jones organ was on June 5, 1994, and the dedicatory recital was on September 24, 1994.

Charles Pelot Summerall Chapel at The Citadel Cornel Zimmer Organ Builders, Denver, NC, Four-manual Console, Opus 135 (2014) The Reuter Organ Company, Lawrence, KS, Opus 500, Pipes (1937)

The organ in the chapel at The Citadel has provided music for thousands of cadets. Built in 1936, Summerall Chapel has held a special place in the life of the Corps of Cadets since its dedication. The cornerstone of the chapel was laid on September 7, 1936. The first service was held almost a year later on September 9, 1937, and the chapel was dedicated on April 10, 1938 as the Cadet Chapel. After General Summerall's retirement as president of The Citadel in June of 1953, the name was officially changed to General [Charles] Pelot Summerall Chapel.79 The Reuter organ, Opus 500, “worthy of the magnificent construction of our chapel,” was installed in 1937; it had three manuals, 31 stops, 34 ranks, and 2,156 pipes.80 Six ranks of pipes were added in 1949. Reuter altered the console to four manuals in 1960 and rebuilt it as Opus 1507 with an additional 28 ranks in 1965.81 The organ was essentially unplayable by 1985; without available funds to restore the instrument, the decision was made to purchase a two-manual electronic Allen organ.82Plans to restore the Reuter were initiated in 2004; The Citadel Class of 1963 undertook the project to “bring back the glory of a Pipe Organ befitting of the grandeur and majestic history of Summerall Chapel.”83 Campaigning to raise funds began and by July 2014, the first step in the multi-phase project of restoring the historic Reuter organ started with the removal of all pipes from the north and south chambers. Cornel Zimmer Organ Builders drafted a customized plan for the console. The proposal integrated traditional artistic elements found throughout the chapel, specifically from the existing woodwork of the pulpit, the reredos, and altar; arch motifs and rosettes completed the design.84 On March 15, 2015, as part of Corps Day Weekend, Zimmer debuted the handcrafted four-manual console. A large battery of solo horizontal trumpets will be mounted on the west wall of the chapel in 2016; phases two and three include adding pipes to the Great division and refurbishing all of the original Reuter pipes.85 Upon restoration, the Summerall Chapel organ will be the largest in the state, having over 100 ranks.
