The cathedral includes two prominent towers; Tour de Beurre (literally ‘butter tower‘) and Tour Saint-Romain (four centuries older than the Tour de Beurre). (Still nothing to do with Rouen, I'm afraid, though my excuse is that I'm clearly not the only sinner here in this respect ... ).Is Thalben-Ball's recording on the Chichester Allen available anywhere?
I attended the opening recital by JB himself. This is not to disparage a basically exciting playing experience, but when I then transferred to the smaller Frobenius I was overwhelmed by its tonal beauty and the precision of its meticulously conceived action. DB realising that, (a) I was from the county of his beloved Truro organ and (b) being unable to miss the fact that I was already mad keen on organs, suggested that I be allowed to visit the loft in my first term. In 1302, the old.Some more parts were built in Late (Flamboyant) Gothic style, these include the last storey of Saint Romain's Tower (15th century), the Butter Tower, main porch of the front and the two storeys of the lantern tower (16th century).In the late 16th century the cathedral was badly damaged during the,The Renaissance spire was destroyed by lightning in 1822. Somehow, I think it was in regular use for something like 20 years, but that is subject to correction by someone with more local knowledge.Rouen, of course, immediately conjures up the name of Marcel Dupré. It is classed as a National Historic Monument (as are several of the major Paris organs with historic cases). The first major organist to work there was Jean Titelouze, the so-called father of the French organ school.
I am not sure at all about the Allen belonging to JB himself and doubt that being the case. Yes, we'd done 10.30, 11.30 and 3.15pm though, mercifully, with only two sermons, and then the Decani and Cantoris boys took it in turns to sing the 6.30pm. Copyright © 21/09/2020 Alamy Ltd.

He had a bit of a reputation for drink - whether it was true or not, goodness knows! As it was in use in place of the Grand Organ for a lengthy period it wasn't being wheeled, and to the best of my recollection was chocked up on blocks. Not managed to get back since.I played both the large partly Edwardian Walker and the smaller Frobenius choir organ at Lancing some years ago. I was right at the back of the cathedral, and I had never heard the pipe organ before. De kathedraal, de kerk van Saint-Ouen en de nabijgelegen kerk van Saint-Maclou behoren tot … And the norm would be for him to conduct while DB played. The old organ loft was truly special. Concil. A post above asks 'Why?' The Cathedral is the Archbishop of Rouen’s area of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. I know nothing about the history of Lancing College chapel but I think it is one of those buildings that has taken all its life to finish.
The Allen stayed in the Cathedral, I believe moved to the west end, and was occasionally played with orchestra and for choral festivals after the 1984/86 Mander rebuild of the pipe organ.
This was unheard of, but he selected a senior chorister to accompany me - none other than James Lancelot!
Anyway, I have often wondered if the dimensions of our Cornopean at BoA were on a similar scale to those on the Willis on Wheels.

As I recall, one side had a backing of plain black material, and the swell shutters were nakedly exposed at the opposite end to the console.
Reputedly Hele did a good job with a sensitive restoration and modest enlargement, and I believe it may well have been on the strength of this that they were chosen to make their controversial enlargements a year later at neighbouring Winchester Cathedral in 1905 (since totally removed with the exception of two ranks).I’m afraid this doesn’t answer the question of the timescale for the Allen. I remember it well from a chorister's point of view. Rouen, France Musee Flaubert et d'Histoire de la Medecine Located in the house where Gustave Flaubert was born, this odd museum has more to do with medical grotesquery than the Western novel.

Vast staat dat de abdij in de 8e eeuw door de benedictijnen werd gesticht. (Just in case of confusion, there's no mention of a digital organ in the article about Rouen; the orgue de choeur will be used for services while the grande orgue de tribune is out of action. Most cards were never used - just the Orchestral Tuba - (think it was called).When I wrote my earlier post I was away from home and relied entirely on memory about the ‘old’ Chichester organ. That also struck me as being unlikely. The other chancel speakers were in the triforium, more or less opposite the pipe organ but slightly further East because of the south transept. He occupied the post of the titular organist in 1588–1633. I am not surprised that DB granted you a visit, Philip - he was a real gentleman. On a Friday, when different pitches might be need for psalms, canticles and anthem, they had to have several pitch pipes, all pre-tuned in their pockets!

I have many memories of visiting the organ loft with all those mentioned except RP who only played at times when we couldn't really go up. The church's name is sometimes anglicized as St Owen's. So, Rowland, did you sing with the adults at the 6.30 service? This may not have been based on finance alone - I imagine they were thinking that there would be a fair amount of dust and dirt flying about for some years to come, and they decided not so much to mothball the organ, but to just leave it.
