The
Schumacher Organ at St. Mary's R.C. Cathedral, |
The organ was
built in 1986 by the firm of Schumacher, then situated near Eupen,
Belgium. Its sound is
that of
continental organs of the classical Baroque period. It has two
manuals and pedals, and 16 stops; 8 on the Great,
5 on the Choir
and 3 on the pedals. For more information about this organ and its
manufacturers, click here.
The organist (1998 to 2010) has attempted some recordings.
The music is
freely downloadable. The only request is that a small donation
(whatever you can afford) be made to CAFOD,
the Catholic
Agency for Overseas Development in the UK. Through fundraising,
CAFOD's mission, confronted by immense
poverty and
suffering that exists in the world especially in parts of Africa and
India, is to promote human development
and social
justice. More information about CAFOD'S mission and work and ways of
donating can be found by
