“We are so pleased with the results of our Patrick Murphy & Associates organ. As a pastor, I’m delighted that it leads worship supremely well, with a beautiful blending of sounds that encourages congregational singing in much the way a good choir does. The organ has a warmth sometimes lacking in newer instruments, the sort of sound that wears well and keeps one wanting more. It is powerful without assaulting, and all of the voices are so much more ‘present’ than with our previous instrument. The organ is visually stunning, blending so beautifully with our 1792 Georgian architecture that it looks as though it’s always been there. In this congregation, founded in 1751, history and tradition are significant elements of our identity, and incorporating the former organs is a tangible connection with our past.

As satisfying as the finished instrument is, I must say that the process of building and installation was every bit as much a blessing for us. It reaffirmed for me Martin Luther’s sense of vocation–all work as call from God–so that designers, wood workers, electricians, voicers and installers were seeking the same goal: building an instrument to the glory of God. I don’t think we could ask for more.”

~Rev. Fred Opalinski, M. Div., Senior Pastor
