1 BOMBARDE! Newsletter of the Greater Kansas City Chapter AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISTS VOL. 0607, NO. 4 JANUARY 2007 From Our Chapter Dean Our November Meeting was held at Visitation Catholic Church, and we were warmly received by their staff members. Before dinner, Eddie Straub provided a very festive and delicious Punch Bowl table for us. After dinner, we were privileged to have a visit from the Marionettes. Tom Atkin, Mary Davis, Ken Dauer, Lisa Galchick and Floyd Gingrich brought J. S. Bach and two curious students to life for us. The Marionettes and their set are works of art! Contact Mary Davis for further information about scheduling a performance at your church or school. The evening s program featured four organ students of Dr. James Higdon, from the University of Kansas, and four organ students of Dr. John Ditto from UMKC. The program was coordinated and announced by Dr. Michael Bauer, also from KU. All selections were based on Gregorian chant: Veni Creator, Adoro te, Regina Pacis, Puer Natus est, and others. Marie Rubis Bauer, Director of Cathedral Music Ministries-Organist at the Cathedral of Saint Cecilia in Omaha, NE, provided a women s chant choir, which was hauntingly beautiful in the Visitation space. At the end of the evening, one member exuded chant as it was meant to be! As we left, everyone in the room had been assured that our art continues to be lifted up in the very capable hands of these young people. We would again like to express our sincere thanks to all who participated in this very unique program. The Month of December finds organists, and all church musicians, extremely busy. We did not publish a Bombarde, however Dale Rider assembled a wonderful November/December Concert Calendar. Thank you to Dale and all those who contributed. We have moved through Advent, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Epiphany. Consider all the offerings of the arts community during this time Messiah (choral/instrumental), The Nutcracker (dance), A Christmas Carol (theatre), and all the many performances which unite us in celebration and worship. Hopefully, you had time to attend and enjoy a few of these excellent programs given by our colleagues. Upcoming January Meeting Our January 15 th meeting date is on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Our program that evening will be given by Charles Bruffy, Artistic Director of the Phoenix Bach Choir and the Kansas City Choral. Under his direction both choirs continue to merit national and international acclaim. Charles has sent us the following greeting: Dear Friends... I hope you're all still standing after the frenzy of the holiday season. Everyone in our culture runs and runs at this time of year but aren't we the lucky ones! We get to indulge in beauty

2 and praise and to immerse ourselves in the camaraderie, fraternity and love in our choirs and congregations, bringing beauty to lives that might be forgetting the incarnation, promise and celebration that Christmas is. I'm very excited to have been asked to speak at the first GKCAGO meeting after the season. Church work remains to be a very important part of my musical life and I look forward to sharing with you how we approach a song, explore ways to illuminate the texts, and find ways for the pitches and words to communicate to our listeners. We'll pull some anthems from the Rolling Hills library so you won't need to bring any music or anything other than your best sight-reading hats (and bifocals in my case!) I've invited the RH choir to come sing with us, too! That we are meeting on Martin Luther King's birthday, we will focus part of the time on some new and old favorite spirituals. I look forward to joining you at this meeting. My schedule has become increasingly busy as has all of ours, and with a weekly rehearsal on Monday nights, it just hasn't been possible for me to attend AGO meetings. I sincerely look forward to seeing my old friends and colleagues at Rolling Hills Church on Monday, January 15! - Charles Bruffy Let us reflect that people of faith, despite their differences come together through music. I hope you will be able to attend, and participate in our dinner and celebration on January 15 th at Rolling Hills Presbyterian Church. Organists, directors, and choir members will all be interested to learn how to Find the Music in the Music. I trust that you experienced much joy during the holiday season, and that it will continue with you throughout this New Year of Nan Hulett, Dean dean@kcago.com AGO Dinner Reservation January 2007 To make your January dinner reservation, please call not later than Wednesday, January 10 th.

The service was Thursday, January 4th, at 2:00 p.m. at Zion UCC, 2711 N. 72nd St., Kansas City, Kansas. (Nan Hulett) Chapter-member honored... Virginia Inman Smith was honored on December 3rd for 40 years service at Broadway United Methodist Church, Kansas City. During those years she has accompanied at least two major choral works each year and played for more than 400 weddings. Virginia studied organ in college with Richard J. Helms and, later, with Edna Scotten Billings and Carlene Neihart. Virginia has been a church organist for 60 years, beginning at age 14. She was organist at Linwood Presbyterian Church for 13 years before going to Broadway UMC. Congratulations, Virginia! Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Signs With Casavant A report from John Obetz The day that ground was finally broken for Kansas City s long-awaited performing arts center, October 6, 2006, it was announced that a contract had just been signed with Casavant Frères to build a large organ for the concert hall. You ll remember that the center has two performance venues, a 2000 seat hall with proscenium, fly space, huge stage, etc. for ballet and opera, and a 1600 seat concert hall for orchestra, solo and ensemble recitals, etc. The entire complex is being called the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, and the concert hall is being named for Shirley and Barnett Helzberg. The concert hall s Casavant organ will be named for Julia Irene Kauffman. While this was all news just released on ground breaking day, the deliberations and promotion for the organ had been under way for many years. Herewith a little background. At least 12 years ago, impetus having been given by Blanche Gangwere, a committee of seven began meeting, assuming as its primary goal the inclusion of a significant pipe organ in our new performing arts center, whenever that might get built. The committee includes, Junia Braby, Blanche Gangwere, William Gorman (now living in Rancho Mirage, CA), Carlene Neihart, John Obetz, William

4 Pfeiffer, Jr., and Bruce Prince-Joseph. Two major cities, Denver and Minneapolis, had recently built new halls, but inadequate planning had precluded the inclusion of pipe organs. Electronic organs were their only option. Our committee did not want that to happen in Kansas City. Over the intervening years the committee, now calling themselves EPOCH, (an acronym for Experiencing Pipe Organs in Concert Halls) gathered information on which concert halls had, or were soon to have, pipe organs, what tonal designs were desirable, what symphonic literature would now be added to the orchestra s repertory, etc. We also solicited most of the area s major presenting arts organizations, asking them to sign on as supporting organizations, and began writing letters to lobby for our cause. When Julia Irene Kauffman determined that the time was now ripe to build our longed-for performing arts center, she, as head of the Muriel McBrien Kauffman Foundation, had the resources to take on this monumental project. A site directly south of Bartle Hall was chosen, followed by the selection of an internationally renowned architect, Moshe Safdie. Then, after experiencing the success of the new Disney Hall in Los Angeles, Ms. Kauffman and her committee determined that its acoustician, Yasuhisa Toyota, should be Kansas City s acoustician. It has been my pleasure, serving as chair of EPOCH, to have met over the past few years with the architectural and acoustical teams, as well as Ken Dworak, the center s project manager. All involved shared the desire to have a significant pipe organ included in our concert hall. Having the fabulous Myerson Hall in Dallas with their Fisk instrument, Los Angeles dramatic Disney Hall with their Glatter- Götz-Rosales, and Philadelphia s new Verizon Hall with their Dobson, helped persuade all that Kansas City must also have a great organ. The next task was to select a builder, and to help with those decisions. EPOCH recommended that James David Christie be engaged as the consultant. James is well known to our AGO chapter from his frequent performances in this area, and his many recordings. He has been the organist for the Boston Symphony for many years, performs with more orchestras around the world than any organist I know, and is an outstanding pedagogue, serving on the faculty at Oberlin College. At Oberlin he presides over a fabulous Fisk organ. He knows what makes a concert hall organ great, what builders are doing the best work, and what design elements should be included. We were delighted when the performing arts committee accepted EPOCH s recommendation. After many on-site explorations, meetings, and untold exchanges, it was determined that a mechanical action instrument was the action of choice, and the two builders to pursue should be Casavant and Fisk. Proposals were received from both builders. After even more on-site visits and untold exchanges, including a trip to Principia College just outside St. Louis where there is a fabulous new Casavant tracker, the acoustician and project manager met with James and me at the Community of Christ Temple in Independence. Jan Kraybill played for us, and we climbed through the chambers exploring the many complexities of building a large mechanical action organ. I believe it was the two instruments at Principia College and the Community of Christ Temple that finally convinced all that Casavant should be our builder. This past December 1 st the architects and project manager traveled to St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, home of Casavant, and began their deliberations with Casavant s tonal director, Jacquelin Rochette, and their director of the mechanical action division, Didier Grassin, to finalize layout considerations and begin the design of the façade. The organ will be located in Kansas City s new hall in a somewhat similar position to the one in the Disney Hall, and the Community of Christ Temple, front and center, behind the orchestra, and

5 surrounded by choir seating. It will have 102 ranks spread among four manuals and pedals. The lowest manual will be the Grand Orgue, followed by the Positif, Recit, and Grand Choeur. Only the Grand Orgue and pedal will be unenclosed. The three other manual divisions will be enclosed by extra thick chamber walls. Chamber shutters will be constructed with inside reflective sound coating, making possible a maximum of dynamic expression. There will be an optional electric coupling system that will allow for the addition of a second stage console. It s been a long journey, one that s been challenging, exhilarating, and very gratifying for all of us on the committee. Now we are called on to muster our patience as we wait these few intervening years for buildings and organ to be constructed. But maybe now is the time for our chapter to begin considering hosting a national convention. Certainly our new hall and new organ will be a national attraction, one that will make Kansas City an even more attractive destination site. I encourage you to check the website You will find there many opportunities to get involved in promoting and supporting this great new venture. John Obetz, SMD A Glance at Our Past New Cathedral Organ: The Handsome Instrument Opened for Service Last Evening Kansas City (Mo.) Times, 08 July 1889, page 6 The Cathedral [of the Immaculate Conception] at Eleventh and Broadway was the scene last night of a very interesting event in the opening of the new pipe organ just completed. The occasion was very appropriately celebrated and the large cathedral was filled even to the standing room. The organ is a magnificent one, is perfect in mechanisms and tone and is in keeping with the handsome churc[h] edifice of which it has become a part. It was built by the Moline pipe organ company of Moline, Ill., at a cost of $3,800 without the motor, which will cost about $200. It has thirty-five registers in manuals, three in pedals and 1,800 speaking pipes. Mr. Frank P. Fisk was the organist, and was assisted by Mrs. D. I. M. Ridge and Mrs. Kate Conway, sopranos; Mrs. Tillie Crane McKinney and Mrs. John Dolan, contraltos; Mr. Ed De Vemie, tenor; Mr. Frank Scott, barytone [sic], Mr. John Brunckhorst, violinist, and Mr. S. A. Legg, accompanist. The new organ was tried in every possible way and proved to be a full, sweet toned instrument, and capable of making almost any kind of music required. An excellent musical programme was rendered in a manner highly gratifying to the large audience. [Note: The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception acquired its first pipe organ in 1889, twelve years after the present building was dedicated. Forty-five years later, in 1934, the Reuter Organ Company converted that Moline organ to electro-pneumatic action, provided a new console, and conducted extensive repairs. In 1959, that seventy-year-old Moline instrument was discarded and a new two-manual nineteen-stop Kilgen organ was installed. The organist for this 1889 opening recital described above, Franklin P. Fisk, was born in Ohio in 1857 and had studied with Clarence Eddy. In 1878, he settled in Kansas City, where for thirty-one years he was organist at Temple B nai Jehudah and for several decades was also organist at Grace Church (Episcopal). When Fisk died in 1927, he was described as the dean of the old school of Kansas City s musicians and one active in church life of the city for nearly a half century. ] - James Tharp, Chapter Historian
