Wicks Organ Co.
Opus 5005, 1970

Database Manager on July 26th, 2016:
Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Larry Covington, based on personal knowledge of the organ. Contracted in 1969 and installed across the front of the chancel in late 1970. The Choir Harmonic Trumpet to replace Bombarde was donated by Dr. Frank Speller in memory of his father in 1972. The 32' Contra Bombarde was relocated from Otto Hofmann's organ in St. Mary's Cathedral. The Great III Mixture replaced by V Fourniture by Richard Geddes in 1993. Stop jambs replaced by Richard Geddes in 1994. Console replaced in 2000 with 1949 Aeolian-Skinner console rebuilt with Peterson components by John Ballard. The 3M Wicks console was used for the gallery organ until it was sold to a private party in Victoria, Texas. At the same time additional ranks were added from various sources including two ranks by Aristide Cavaille-Coll procured from Pasqual Boisonnet. In 2005 the exposed Great and Pedal divisions were removed for a general renovation to the building. The Great division was enlarged with the inclusion of Kilgen pipes from the 1956 organ removed from St. Mary's Church in West, Texas and in 2012 digital additions were made by Walker Technical and voiced by Bob Walker.
