Ascension Parish in Kettering, Ohio has been celebrating the thirty year anniversary of their sanctuary. Following their morning worship and a community gathering and meal, I enjoyed the opportunity to play their newly installed Rodgers 589 Three Manual Organ to conclude the celebration. The organ sounded full and powerful with speakers in both front and back. I chose a program to demonstrate traditional pipe sounds as well as orchestral sounds and a combination of the two. Here’s the program and which sounds were featured:
LANGLAIS Hymne d’Actions de graces “TE DEUM”
(Choral Aahs, Full French Organ, Solo Reed, Mutations, Montres)
POST Introduction and Hymn: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
(Full Organ, Foundations, Reed, Flutes, Strings)

CLOKEY Bell Prelude
(String Celestes, Principal, Foundations, Chime, Full Organ)
HANDEL Fireworks Music
(Principal Chorus with Mixtures, Reeds and Percussion, Oboe, Strings, Organ Flutes,

Following the well attended program, Cheri and I managed to find a PF CHANGS for a delicious dish of noodles. All this after “NOODLING” around on the Rodgers 589 all afternoon!
