Rededicated Cathedral of St. John The Divine, NYC - Part 2

11AM Rededication Service - 2nd video of the restored Great Aeolian Skinner Organ, Op. 150B, featuring the world renowned State Trumpet stop. This Recessional Hymn is 'O God Our Help in Ages Past', by Isaac Watts. The Cathedral's Director of Cathedral Music and Organist Bruce Neswick performs. The first notes heard are not those of the organ, but of brass and timpani. The applause heard near the end of the hymn is for the brave FDNY heroes who helped fight the devastating fire on December 18th, 2001. They were part of the Rededication Service, and they received many standing ovations. You will see some of them in the video, recessing with members of the Clergy and Cathedral Choirs. Enjoy!
