A year has passed since the installation of Opus 47 in Madonna della Strada Chapel and I would like to share with you how our university has been dramatically changed with the new organ. The instrument is a source of pride and delight among students, faculty, staff and community members. Every visitor to the chapel makes a conscientious effort to point out the instrument and comment on its glorious sound. Francis Cardinal George, our Archdiocesan Bishop, even commented on a recent visit to the chapel that he looked forward to singing with the organ’s glorious sound. Clearly, the instrument has made its mark in the city as people fill our chapel for monthly musical programs.
As I reflect on the year’s past successes and look forward to future ones with our new pipe organ, I cannot help but think of the wonderful road that lead us to this point. Your attentiveness and passion for organ building is clearly witnessed by every person in your shop. This is realized whenever one steps in to the instrument and sees the care and craftsmanship of the inner components-the meticulously organized wiring, the perfectly finished pipe chests, and the detailed finishes on the case and console. But most of all, the voicing of the instrument to fit our chapel is absolute perfection. Time and time again, visitors and organists from all over the city and country comment on the perfection of the voicing and how our instrument is perfectly fit to our room. Brandon Woods is a treasure and I am grateful for his contribution to the success of this instrument.
To say that Loyola University is grateful would be an understatement. We are elated at the success of this instrument! For this we owe the whole Goulding and Wood shop our gratitude.
