The musical instruments at SS Peter and Paul,
Lewiston, Maine
The parish of SS Peter and Paul has many musical instruments, including the
largest pipe organ (4 manuals, 79 ranks with 5,432 pipes) and the largest electronic organ
(4 manuals, with 71 digital ranks) installed in a Maine
church. The following text is an overview followed by a detailed description of
the instruments that are available to accompany the celebration of Mass.
Overview of musical instruments:
- The Transept console, installed by Church Music Systems, is a state of the art 4 manual Baldwin
Organ Console which
controls both the Sanctuarie Organ (Casavant Opus 1587, described
below) and the digital voices emanating from the transept
gallery. It has silent lighted drawknobs, full MIDI capability, multiple memory banks, and sufficient
console controls to control both pipe organs.
- To lead 2,000+ parishioners in song, SS Peter and Paul is the only parish in Maine with two pipe organs with
separate consoles; both instruments hand crafted by Casavant of Quebec in
1938.
- The majestic Gallery organ (Casavant Opus 1588) is the showpiece instrument in the rear
gallery which frames
the magnificent rose window. It’s original 4 manual
console commands the 69 ranks of 4695 pipes which encompass authentic French voicing –
brilliant reeds, full diapason chorus and flute ensemble. The largest
pipe is over 32' long, while the shortest is less than 1/4", and is
voiced on high wind pressures to fill the +300' sanctuary.
- The Sanctuaire organ (Casavant Opus 1587) is a 10 rank unified and
duplexed instrument with 737 pipes located at the front of the sanctuary, framed by 2
ornate organ cases with speaking front pipes. This instrument was designed
to accompany the Dominican Priests during their daily chants.
- Grand Piano
- Roland Electronic Piano – with selectable voices, MIDI capability,
transposer.
- Public address system – 6,000 watts RMS sound reinforcement with state
of the art Bose speakers, local sub-mixing board with 4 microphones and
monitors for organist, cantor and choir
