Patrick J. Murphy & Associates, Inc. has completed the work on this large two-manual organ for the Episcopal Church of the Annunciation in Lewisville, Texas. This instrument, which came from The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Sarasota, Florida, has a very illustrious bloodline. Originally, it started out in 1950 as a II/9 Möller opus #8089. In 1958, Aeolian-Skinner added eighteen ranks and designated it as their opus #1385. In the 1980s the organ was rebuilt and enlarged to three manuals by McManis. At this time, several original Möller and A-S Ranks were replaced with “Neo-Baroque” European Pipework, as was the trend of the day. Finally in the 1990s Guzowski and Steppe added a new three manual console and solid state switching. In 2002, Patrick Murphy & Associates traveled to Sarasota, FL to retrieve the instrument destined for Lewisville, TX.
The organ has undergone a tonal transformation to a more “Classic American” scheme under the direction of Dan Garland of Fort Worth, TX. The instrument, while being installed as a two manual, has been prepared for the addition of a choir and solo divisions at a future date. We have constructed new electro-pneumatic slider chests for the main Swell and Great divisions with new offsets and peripherals. There is a new oak case that is housing a new Pedal Principal 16' and bottom of the Great 8' Diapason. The organ has retained its three manual console. Installation was completed in March, 2004.
