The world needs more organists like Jan Kraybill. Not only in talent and passion for the instrument and its music, but also in her kindness, professionalism, and approachability.
E. M. Skinner after his study-visit to England. The REAL, Yankee "American Classic" organ. Am saying that *not* to denigrate the work of G. Donald H. in the slightest. I am saying it bc shame on us all to have let one of the finest, most doggèd, outspoken, true blue Americans ever born to woman die a slow, inglorious death. Oh well! Not the first time true glory passed away in unappreciated oblivion. ... only to be recognized for what she, he, it really was until scores of years later.
@@Geoplanetjane Agreed! Consistently the highest standard of workmanship, along with tonal directions all these years that--discreetly!-- joined up with worldwide focuses on the most fitting, the most musical out of historical "national" traditions of organbuilding. Am thinking of Cavaillé-Coll (and back again). Also Schnitger (via tonal director G. Brunzema and others) but then too both Gottfried and brother André (sic 😉) Silbermann (via Metzler in Switzerland). And only in Canada/Québec: the solid admission into the already rich mix of British scaling/voicing (alla Hill and Harrison and especially Willis). As if this were not enough, the deep participation in the so-called concept of the "American Classic" organ capable of playing with authority all the main schools of building and composition. Casavant to this day offers a worthy (I as US-American believe more serviceable) complement perhaps not to US-American EM Skinner, but clearly to Aeolian-Skinner. Am trying to be as patriotic as possible, but after years of thought and becoming involved in the restoration of Skinner op. 647, this is where I stand. Personally of course. And I must not be the only one judging by the dogged preservation of the many Casavants here "down south.". Also judging by the steady flow of new contracts here in the US, as recommended by organ committees going into a given project with the attitude "money matters less than going for the best of the best." My 2 cents RE: Casavant Frères Ltée! Mark (AZ)
I attended the dedication of this organ and sang in the Messiah Choir here three years. That's when Bethel Knoche was principal organist. She told me one day that the Halleluia chorus from Messiah was the first ever Boogie Woogie ever written. This is a magnificent instrument for congregational singing and for concert performances. I really appreciate Jan's contributions to the music of the church.
Thank you for mentioning Bethel Knoke. She is the one I listened to each Sunday. I listened for a while after John Obetz came, but I like Mrs. Knoke's "down to earth" playing.
I was glad that approximately 26 minutes they finally mentioned Bethel Knoche who was the one responsible for the design and installation of this organ. I met her and talked with her several times. She was a magnificent musician.
Great to see Dr. Jan Kraybill demonstrate this amazing organ. Mr. Quimby has also done an amazing job taking care of and renovating this organ. Im excited that more videos are back on the way.
It's great to see & hear this organ on CZcams. The last time for me was a visit in the 1960s when John Obetz gave a daily recital. I also have a distant memory of listening to Bethel Knoche on the radio in the 1950s. Does anyone remember P. Hans Flath's programs on KMBC radio?
So many interesting comments! This auditorium is the largest faith-based domed space in the world. It is second to Royal Albert Hall in London. The larger domes are built for sports. John Obetz came to the position in late 1967. He assumed the radio program in 1968. Aeolian Skinner opus 1309 is the largest all pipe organ in Missouri.
The acoustic of the domed oval means that the instrument sounds differently in some sections of the space. If you'd like to hear the power of the Bombarde, you may sit in the center west balcony. Some who would like to hear a good blend of divisions may sit on the floor level in the upper center. And so it goes. The Antiphonal tour was the best for me because I knew the least about it. I worked in the building in the early 1980s and during lunch hours practiced at the 2-manual console my Gleason Method.
John Obetz was my church choir director for the 6 years he was at Albion College in Michigan before assuming the (then) RLDS organist position. I visited him and had a personal organ crawl through this instrument. Unfortunately the audio in this video doesn't do justice to the huge sound this organ can produce. It is and can be quite loud! Standing next to the mouth of the low C 32' pedal pipe was quite interesting when the chest pressure was let into it! John Obetz truly put this instrument on "the map" and trained many well known organists in his own right including his successor. Through him I met and heard Jean Langlais, Marie-Claire Alian, and others he knew personally.
Thank You Brent! I used to listen to the PBS radio broadcast with John Obetz many years ago and enjoyed the content. Dr. Kraybill's performances during this video were amazing especially In Paradisium by Daniel Gawthrop and the final unnamed piece!
I grew up with this instrument at the rlds world conference. The only organ I have known with sound clouds. John obetz really owned this space for decades. And we all love Jan!! The 32' comes together on the balcony rail about half way in the room. Tommy Anderson is the pipe maker for this! Thanks Jan!! I want to play disco inferno and nothing else matters on this!!! Not an organist but I am learning! Putting a 1970 11 stop reuter I got in Wichita in my home on the rio grande at 5k. 5 octave of Reuter trumpet in my living room! Added the 32' bourdon octave i found in Dallas just to have the only 32' c at 16hz in the state. John Grunow is the builder and he is morphing this into a theater organ and voicing it for non public use. Many thanks Jan for everything you do !
Creative mitering - read "jammed in". LOL. I've heard that organ (first time sat up near antiphonal organ). It's a great space (along with the massive organ at the Spire across the street.) I'd die from fright having to stand that close to the edge of the organ when you were on the catwalk. My vertigo would get the best of me, I'm sure.
Was it just me or was it rather dizzying when you were on the walk board on the facade. Am I right to say there was no hand railing in the front to keep you from falling into the pipes and the floor below?
A very nice demonstration, especially nice to hear someone who knows how to combine mutations in different ways! However I'm noting that the stop list at the Pipe Organ Database is not completely accurate. Some stops missing...
I think this organ was used in an old LP record based on old church hymns or something. I can't remember the name of that album that it was recorded for.
It's used to be called the reorganized latter day saints , what a nice pipe organ.. I think Quimby also did the mother church in Boston's Christian Science church, I believe it's #8 largest church pipe organ in the world
I agree. The balance between voices & the organ is very unsatisfactory. To really hear the organ I have to up the gain considerably. Where are the mikes Placed?
It just doesn't matter because the trumpets in anti overpower everything. Don't get used every registration because they will make your head explode. They are the loudest anti trumpets that I have heard.
There is something that is strangely supernatural about our job as an organist. Dr. Jan: can you confirm or is it just me?? Voilà: Let's say I am playing lasst uns erfreuen, or hyfrydol, or Christ the Lord Is Risen Today. You get the idea. It is a service where the Holy Spirit and every other good spirit is amply present. As organist I begin with coupled sounds that, when the room is totally empty, would shake the woodwork and make the windows visibly vibrate. A sound where a mere c major chord with low c pedal would scare the holy ba....out of the most hardened mafioso boss who happened to be in the room gathering his thoughts. The kicker? Already on verse one the registration was not enough. I can't hear my ,"king" of instruments even though the pipes are right above my head or only 20 feet from my left or right ear. Verse 2; piston 2: I thought I had added plenty of 8', reeds, and THAT mixture to lead the congregation. Not enough! So, piston 3 before its time on last 2 verse lines of the text. Piston 4; verse 3 and THAT overlay on the mind: "So what r u gonna do, Mark?" Right off: add 32' flue in pedal. Then progressively all reeds 16', 8', 4' in Ped. More reeds whatever I can get my hands on in the manuals. The human voices persist in drowning "me" (ha!) out. We are now at last verse. What now? The crescendo shoe! Start with 1/2 then slowly next verse line or 2: full tilt. Why can I still hardly hear the beastie?? So? What the 😈? Tutti III toe stud. Insanity! But can I EVER get ahead of the amassed human voices. All I can do now it play last verse line ritardando molto and and tryn-not-2b-gross portato all voices except soprano. The final chord is crushing. For 5 minutes there is this communal "did that really happen?!". Sometimes the next speaker is at first rather speechless. I mean "what can you say?" after such a thing??? ==== Am I bat.xyz crazy or what after trying my luck at describing this part of our job?
To my ears, the Swell sounds more Harrison and Great and Pos more Whiteford I have the install notebooks from the 1960 AS at St Lukes San Francisco. Evidently Whiteford would spend the daysoftening the 8's then the voicers would sneak back in at night and louden them lol
This is a closely followed instrument. Admired globally. How many notes do you have? I have not played it but I know organist who have played it for decades. Cornopea is a skinner stop but I don't see it in the shop scaling notes for this organ. Even your thought you were getting a piece of it. Hope you didn't pay too much for it . Love to hear the stories about it!!!!
@FaSTurbo EM used this stop but was abandoned by AS by the 50s. People say a lot of things. Who did you get it from? This was not in the auditorium organ or the plans.
@FaSTurbo who did you get it from? It's not in any documentation and organist that player it say it wasn't part of it. If it's not documented is half the authenticity. They are not from 1309. If they were you bought stolen stuff. Way too many people would have access to them that they would be a set of 61. You don't have docs where they came from. They are not from the auditorium organ. But you do have another story to tell
Really lovely instrumental sound but it's so quiet compared to your speaking voices. Perhaps needs rebalancing and reuploading? Sorry if that seems harsh!
Anyone who’s really trying to listen to the organ will be forced to turn up the volume pretty high. Then the speaking voices become too loud by comparison, and maybe a bit distorted. So I’d also suggest rebalancing it. If this makes the en chamade so loud they blow out people’s speakers (I didn’t get that far; I didn’t want to get an ad that would also be super-loud), some compression might also be in order.
I must excuse myself for posting that the instrument remains Aeolian Skinner as designed by Harold Gleason, Catharine Crozier, and Bethel Knoche. This instrument is not a Quimby designed and built instrument. It is somewhat unfortunate that this fact must be clarified.
There's no adequate way to mic pipe organs. No digital extensions here. The 32' develop on the balcony rail about half in the room. Jan knows that...Brent doesn't. Now you know. Wood pipes develop sound better than metal. Yeah if this had 32' bourdon it would sound differently. This has a few 16 wood flutes but not like the Kauffman center casavant. There is a 32' bombarde. The 32 you see are considered principal when this was scaled in the shop notes.
@@Barefoot12 maybe not with those mics, but that's a different conversation. They didn't mention the wind pressures, that's mostly what I'm curious about.
This is one you just have to hear. It's not a temple space or organ. The sound kinds rolls around the space. It has been voiced noticeably louder as it matures. I listen to CZcams vids amped and with a woofer that helps bring out the pedal work. It has plenty of bass in the sweet spot in the room. Good you found the pressure stats.
Is this the organ used by Mannheim Steamroller for their recording of “G Major Toccata”? I’ve done some research on it and it seems to point to this one. They certainly used a good sized organ on that track.
It was. The level was set for the loudest stop. The big trumpet in anti they mention it a few times. Every organ is different. It's not like a studio recording.
The world needs more organists like Jan Kraybill. Not only in talent and passion for the instrument and its music, but also in her kindness, professionalism, and approachability.

Jan is just gorgeous inside and out. Such a warm person.
Jan is absolutely charming! And what an instrument! Wow!

Reuters are very nice organs, the Episcopal church I belong to put one in about 1979, it was a smaller 8 rank one but very bright in sound
