Pipe Organ Installed January - March 2020
St. John’s Cathedral commissioned a new pipe organ from Indianapolis organ builder Goulding & Wood. New twin cases on either side of the chancel house the Great and Pedal divisions. Case carvings include many decorative Gothic elements that echo existing architectural vocabulary found elsewhere in the chancel. A 16’ Pedal façade stands in the Gospel transept in front of the chamber holding the Choir and Swell divisions. Two twin Antiphonal cases on the (liturgical) west wall frame the Great Window. Musically, the organ fits broadly into the English accompanimental style of instrument with plenteous 8’ pitches, a wide variety of colors, and an expansive spectrum of dynamic effect. The seventy-rank organ replaces the 1957/1998 Schantz Organ.
