The Organs

Categories: 

St. Francis de Sales main sanctuary is home to two organs. One is a 1998 3 Manual Allen digital organ, the other is a 1968 9 rank Pels & Van Leeuen mechanical action Pipe organ.

The Pels is a great instrument for accompanying chant, accompanying choir, and functioning as a continuo organ. It also has enough resources to accompany small congregations.

The People's Song

Categories: 

Hymns are the song of the people—the persons in the pew, the congregation that assembles. While choirs always join in the hymn singing, and often perform a leadership role—as well as providing musical enrichments to the hymn singing, hymns are ultimately the song of everyone gathered.—the entire community.
