Church Organ for Sale
16. September 2024
Ulsted Church
24. October 2024Løsning Church's new organ has 16 stops on 2 manuals ande pedal. The main and the pedal divisions are reused from the former Esbjerg Mission House "Bethania” (Marcussen & Søn, 1 manual & pedal built in 1955). The Swell organ was newly built in 2023. The console with 2 manuals & pedal originates from Løgumkloster Church's organ (Marcussen & Søn 1969)
The organ facade is new and was designed in collaboratin with Linjen Architects.
In approving the organ, the Church Ministry's organ consultant writes:
New and old blend into a distinguished and melodious whole, and thanks to a well thought-out and versatile specification, significant parts of the organ repertoire can be realised effectively. In relation to the number of stops, the possibilites of composing beautiful solo registrations are great, and in liturgical context, the sound can be varied and adapted to the colours of the church year in the best possible way. There is strong emphasis on ensemble, and the stops blend together to perfection. And of course , the possibilities are further enhanced by an effective swell division.
Mechanically, the organ works brilliantly, with a pleasant weight on coupled manuals. To summarise, the organ is perceived as a very "contemporary" organ in terms of sound, whose tonal mildness and abilty to blend makes it possible to register and vary a great deal without becoming too loud for the congregation. The "Marcussen DNA" is evident throughout: the tonal and craftsmanship quality paired with optimal console ergonomics means that the Løsning organ is not an instrument that requires a lot of getting used to. Architecturally, the result is extremely successful and in perfect visual harmony with the room.
