Pipe Organ on the Net

by Gary D. Penkala

The pipe organ (some say this term is as redundant as "string violin") reigns as the "King of Instruments" in both secular and religious realms. Sacrosanctum concilium, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of Vatican Council II, attests:
In the Latin Church the pipe organ is to be held in high esteem, for it is the traditional musical instrument that adds a wonderful splendor to the Church's ceremonies and powerfully lifts up the spirit to God and higher things. (SC #120)
Here are some interesting and informative websites dealing with pipe organs. Some Pipe Organ Builders We hope browsing through these sites has helped to renew your enthusiam for the "King of Instruments" and its place in Christian worship.
