The English Cathedral Organ for jOrgan is based on a plan by Graham Goode for his composite English
Cathedral Organ for Hauptwerk 3. Like Grahams Hauptwerk organ, this uses sounds from St. Augustines
Anglican Church Organ, St. Stephens Anglican Church Organ, and Prudhoe Methodist Church Organ. The
licenses for these instruments, as well as the license for this composite instrument are found at the end of this
user guide. Grahams Hauptwerk organ also accessed sounds which were not free for our use, so ranks from
the three small English style organs and from the Pitea School of Music Organ, Walcker-Wildverank, and van
Oeckelen Organs (also used under Creative Commons licenses) were used or modified to achieve the desired
sounds. The Clarinet rank is from the Lafayette Wurlitzer Theatre Organ in Suffern, New York, sampled by
Eugene Don Hayek, and used by his kind permission.
The plan is intended to be typical of English cathedral organs by Father Henry Willis and Harrison & Harrison.

These organs were designed to be eclectic instruments, able to play Baroque, Romantic and symphonic
transcriptions for organ. Some notable characteristics are mellow, breathy principals that are almost chiffless,
and reeds and mixtures that are bright but never harsh. English mixtures often have a tierce harmonic.

Disposition
Tuning adjustment allows you to do a fine tuning adjustment. The reset button (RS)
returns to standard tuning (A = 440 Hz).
Other Features
Sequencer Memory Advance
The sequencer has a memory advance feature. If the + incrementer is pressed when the sequencer is at
combination 10, the sequencer will recycle to combination 1 and the memory will advance +1. This enables
the player to have advance through a nearly unlimited number of general combinations during play. The
sequencer memory advance only works forward.
Divisional Cancel
Clicking or touching the divisional labels will cancel the stops and couplers for that division only.
Great and Pedal Combinations Coupled
When this is engaged, pressing the pistons for Great combinations will also activate the Pedal combinations of
the same number and pressing toe studs for Pedal combinations will also activate the Great combinations.
Disengage the coupler for independent operation of the combinations.
The ranks from the Great and Pedal divisions of Prudhoe Methodist, St. Augustines Anglican and St. Stephens
Anglican organs are arranged in a hollow configuration. The ranks from the Swell divisions are arranged in
a spike configuration. Ranks from other organs are arranged as hollow if they correspond to Great or
Pedal ranks or spike if they correspond to Solo, Swell or Choir stops in the dispositions. The fanfare trumpet
is arranged in a wide hollow configuration, based on the arrangement of the Royal Trumpet in St. Pauls
Cathedral, London.
Included with the Cathedral disposition is the English Organ 2P/26. This is based on a Harrison and Harrison
instrument formerly in the chapel of St. Johns College, Oxford, built in 1936.

To the St. Johns College, Oxford disposition, Swell to Great Octave and Suboctave and Great Octave couplers
have been added.
The photographic background is of the organ of Brasenose College, Oxford
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/paullew/379195641/). The photograph was selected because the organ is of
a similar size, and no picture of the original St. Johns College organ was to be found.
