"Many Waters" by Ireland? I suggest this as not all victims of the Holocaust were Jews and they deserve recognition as well

St Stephen's does have a gentle quality, but in the 80's when I played it, the reeds all needed re regulating. I remember the Violone on the pedal used to buzz quite loudly in its bottom octave! The Swell Celeste is/was probably one of the most restful I've ever come across, being reminiscent of a Father Willis Vox Angelica but of only one rank.

St Stephen's Tromba certainly shreiked! Mind you, so did the Swell Mixture...

Such a shame I joined this forum so late! I'm a Cheltenham boy in exile in the north and would love to have done a crawl in Chelters! I played the organ in St Stephen's for a while when Father Gott was the incumbent - I remember him striding up the nave with a roll up in his mouth puffing like the Flying Scotsman in full glory! Not even the incense could mask that tobacco. Would love to hear the beauty installed in Pricess Hall of the Ladies College - anyone have opinions on that organ?

Many thanks to you both! I'm very grateful for the information

I remember this organ as being a three manual - also remember listening to the late great Nicholas Danby play it during a master class in the 80's - the Trompeta Real damn near scalped me as I was sat in front of the case where it was positioned!

I can give a good home to any of the Pre Raph carved angels from the pulpitum case should they be considered unsuitable in the new sheme!

Can anyone please help? Many years ago whilst still at school I sang at a service in Coventry Cathedral. I was particularly impressed with the piece played before the choir processed in, which I think was by Janacek - LOADS of bare fifths resounding atound the building! I also seem to remember being told it was titled "On the Rock the Church is Founded" I'm trying to find recordings of it and also the sheet music, but so far keep coming to dead ends! Hope anyone can help me out!

How about Peter Cornelius' "The Three Kings" arranged by Ivor Atkins?Carols for Choirs1 - an evergreen standby if ever there was one (the Oxford Jacques & Willcocks got me through many an Advent Christmas and Epiphany!)
