Carmelite
Monastery of Our Lady of Grace
San
Angelo, Texas
1971
Moller - 2 manual, 5 rank
Newly
constructed of local limestone and personally supervised
by the Sisters, this award-winning building is designed
in an L-shaped formation to seat ninety parishioners
and fifteen nuns. In order to accompany singing in
both ends of the unusual formation, the rebuilt 1971
Moller organ is installed in a single chamber that
allows sound to speak into both directions of the
nave. Handsome twin oak cases constructed in our shop
by Jack Serdy frame these chamber openings. An austere
stoplist of five ranks, laid out over two manuals,
is designed to make maximum use of the resources,
including a colorful French Trompette that speaks
in all divisions. The instrument is completely enclosed
except for the façade Principal
