Our current organ, Opus 574 of the Peragallo Organ company, Paterson, New Jersey, is the third pipe organ to be installed in St. Peter Church. It is basically of nineteenth-century design in both appearance and tone. However, it is not in any way limited to the performance of music of the Romantic period. While the organ does include the broadly-scaled voices typical of the work of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (Paris) and Henry Willis (London) of the late nineteenth century, along with fiery reed stops, thundering basses, and orchestrally-imitative voices, it is in reality “eclectic.” Voices of great clarity and brilliance, so necessary to the performanc of German Baroque and French Classical literature, have been included as well. The sum total is an instrument that not only permits the colorful and correct playing of the majority of the organ literature, but also gloriously enhances the various liturgies of the Catholic church. The organ has been made even more versatile by the inclusion of a small Chancel Organ located with the choir in the sanctuary of the church. Once again, French tradition comes into play, as many large churches and most cathedrals in France contain two organs: a large Gallery Organ located in the balcony, and a much smaller Chancel Organ near the choir stalls up front.
