J S Bach Variations on "Sei Gregusset Jesu Gütig" "Father" Willis St. Mary's Ewell

The present "Father Willis" organ of St. Mary's Ewell replaces a previous Willis of 1865 destroyed by fire in 1973. The organ was originally built in 1889 by the organ builder Henry Willis for the Anglican parish church of St Augustine, Highbury. In 1975 there was a risk that the latter church would be closed—so, to protect the organ's future, they sold it to Saint Mary's, which had lost a similar instrument in a fire two years previously. However, in an ironic twist of fate, the church in Highbury was reprieved just days after the organ was removed and another nearby church, dedicated to St John, closed instead (whose rather smaller organ was installed at St Augustine's). The Ewell organ was installed in its new home by the Liverpool-based firm of Rushworth and Dreaper, but was, fortunately, left much as it had originally been built. Unfortunately, some of the organ's finely stencilled front-pipes (those that formed the front at Ewell) were painted gold, in accordance with the fashions of the time. However, a few stencilled pipes can be seen from a few angles behind these ). This instrument is, despite its prestigious origins (it was often regarded as the best of several similar instruments built in the Highbury area), comparatively little-known. The Vicar of Ewell, the Parochial Church Council and the Director of Music have decided that efforts should be made to redress this situation and, to that end, are to promote the instrument through a number of recitals and concerts, the particulars of which can be viewed here.www.stmarysewell.com Stop list Great Organ Double Open Diapason 16′ Open Diapason 1 8′ Open Diapason 2 8′ Claribel Flute 8′ Principal 4′ Flute harmonique 4′ Twelfth 22/3′ Fifteenth 2′ Mixture III (1 3/5′) Double Trumpet 16′ Posaune 8′ Clarion 4′ Choir Organ Dulciana 8′ Lieblich Gedact 8′ Claribel Flute 8′ Gamba 8′ Concert Flute 4′ Piccolo 2′ Corno di Bassetto 8′ Orchestral Oboe 8′ Swell Organ Lieblich Bourdon 16′ Open Diapason 8′ Lieblich Gedact 8′ Salcional 8′ Vox Angelica 8′ Gemshorn 4′ Flageolet 2′ Mixture III (1 3/5′) Contra Hautboy 16′ Cornopean 8′ Hautboy 8′ Vox Humana 8′ Clarion 4′ Tremulant Pedal Organ Open Diapason 16′ Violone 16′ Bourdon 16′ Octave 8′ Bass Flute 8′ Ophicleide 16′ 1889 'Father' Willis Organ Ewell Jonathan Holmes
