O Sanctissima - 1965 Allen Organ

The tune is often called "Sicilian Mariners Hymn", and is also used in the German carol 'O du fröhliche'. I start using the harp/celesta percussion stops on the Great, and the hymn itself is played on the Choir with some help from the Swell division.

** About me **
I am not a professional organist, nor do I have any musical training to speak of. So, I'm learning as I go.

** About the organ **
This organ was installed June 15, 1965 as part of a new church building for the 2nd Baptist Church of Rochester, NY. It was a Custom build from Allen Organ in Macungie, Pennsylvania, with additional options for a Schulmerich Carillon system. It is a unit organ of seven electronic ranks, with the Great/Swell/Pedal sharing three tone generators, the Swell having a dedicated Celeste generator, and an independent Choir division of three tone generators, for a total of five audio output channels. A total of 570 oscillators generate all the sounds that are heard. A dedicated Choir Celeste generator awaits installation, which will bring the total up to 607 oscillators. The organ was dedicated in September, 1965 in a recital performed by Berj Zamkochian.
