Current Work
HOJVANGEN CHURCH, SKANDERBORG
In 2025 a new organ, with 20 stops + 2 transmitted stops, will be installed at Hojvangen Church in Skanderborg. The church is currently under construction, according to plans by Henning Larsen Architects. The church building will be finished in december 2024 and the organ will be installed in the autumn 2025.
AIDT CHURCH
In 2026 a new organ with 15 stops (2 manuals & pedal) will be installed at Aidt Church.
KGS. LYNGBY CHURCH
In 2025 a new organ with 21 stops (2 Manuals & Pedal) will be installed at Kgs. Lyngby Church. The organ will be built in cooperation with organbuilder Anders Havgaard Rasmussen.
CHURCH OF OUR LADY IN ASSENS
In 2026, repairs and modifications will be carried out to the choir organ in the Church of Our Lady in Assens. The choir organ has 14 stops on 2 manuals and pedal, and was originally built around 1850 by Hunther & Webb for the abbey church in New Ross, Ireland. In 2022, the organ was installed in the Church of Our Lady in Assens, Denmark. The organ's original action was replaced at an unknown date, and the manual keyboards are not believed to be original either. The key touch is very heavy. The project is therefore based on making the key action lighter and more reliable, including the renewal of the console and the action, which is stylistically adapted to the historic organ.
HYLTEBJERG CHURCH
In 2027, we will build a new organ to Hyltebjerg Church in Vanløse which is a suburb of Copenhagen. The organ will have 24 stops divided into great, swell and pedal. The key action will be mechanical and the stop action will be electrical, with setzer combinations. Hyltebjerg Church was damaged in a fire in 2022 and the church building is now under reconstruction, led by Fogh & Følner Architects.
EMDRUP CHURCH
In 2027, we are building a new organ for Emdrup Church in Copenhagen. The organ includes 28 stops (including transmitted voices) on Great, Swell, and Pedal.
GRAASTEN PALACE CHURCH
In 2027, a new organ with 22 stops on Great, Positive and Pedal organ will be delivered to Graasten Palace Church. The new organ will have a Great organ 8' Principal base and wind supply with wedge bellows for a more vocal sound. The organ will be stylistically inspired by the reused, historic facade - in construction, choice of materials and specifications, and it will have the tonal character and colour that the space requires. The Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces is the client for the installation of the new organ, and the construction is being carried out with support from the Bitten & Mads Clausen Foundation and the Johan Otto Wroblewski Foundation, among others.
The pulpit of the castle church, which runs around the room, has a carved date of 1701. At the west end of the pulpit there was space for an organ that was delivered in the early 1800s. The organ builder is not known, nor is the original layout of the organ. The organ was destroyed during the Three Years' War of 1848-1850, and only the façade upper part, built in the characteristic Hamburg Baroque style, with a semi-circular centre tower and angled side towers, has survived. It is richly decorated with carvings in the acanthus style, similar to the parapet of the pulpit. The facade has undergone rebuilds over the years, prompted by the organ renovation in 1852 by organ builder Jens Gregersen, Copenhagen. In 1855, Marcussen & Søn took over the care of the Gregersen organ. In 1964, Marcussen & Søn built a new organ with 15 stops, 2 manuals & pedal, and the design of the organ façade was reconstructed. The 1964 organ will be dismantled in 2025 and offered for resale, however, a new façade will have to be made, as the historic organ façade will of course be reused for the new organ in Graasten Palace Church.
ISHOEJ CHURCH
In 2026, a new organ will be delivered to Ishøj Church. The organ will have 14 stops + 3 alternating stops on 2 manuals & pedal. The new organ will be placed on the floor at the west end of the nave. Manuals I and II are placed on a shared windchest, in order to perform alternating registers. Manual II is placed in a swell case.
The organ façade is designed in collaboration with organ builder Anders Havgaard Rasmussen. Latticework (vertical light slits) is installed in the doors and horizontal light slits in the organ case roof above Manual I. This allows daylight to seep in over the pipework and over the suspended prisms, where it is reflected.
HØRUP CHURCH
In 2025, the organ in Hørup Church will be rebuilt and expanded.
The organ was built by Marcussen & Søn in 1978/1981, with 10 stops on 2 manuals & pedal.
After the rebuild, the disposition will include 16 stops. The console is rebuilt and placed at the north side of the organ. The stop action is rebuilt for electric function, with combinations system (setzer). New windchests and organ cases are made for the swell and pedal divisions. A new wind system, with blower and wedge-shaped bellow, is installed in the roof space above the organ.
BRAMDRUP CHURCH
In 2026, we will deliver a new organ to Bramdrup Church. The church will undergo a major remodelling in the coming years, and the new organ will be placed on a new gallery, according to plans developed by R arkitekter. The console will be placed on the church floor, with electric key and stop action. The organ will have 13 voices and 3 transmitted voices, 2 manuals and pedal.
Bramdrup Church's current organ, which is located in the northwest corner of the nave, is offered for sale. It is a Marcussen organ from 2000, 11 voices, 2 manuals and pedal. Contact us for more information.
STORE MAGLEBY KIRKE
In 2025, we will carry out refurbishment and various additions to the organ in Store Magleby Church. Electrical stops and a combination system will be installed. The mechanical stop functions will be retained. A Cromorne 8‘ is added to the Great organ, and the pedal Mixture III is divided into two stops: Principal 4’ and Rauschquint II. A cymbal star is also added. The organ has 26 stops and was built in 1986 by Jensen & Thomsen, with a reused facade from 1855 (Jens Gregersen).
SLANGERUP CHURCH
In 2027, we are restoring and reconstructing the organ in Slangerup Church.
Slangerup Church's organ was built in 1855 by Jens Johan Gregersen (1804-64). He trained as a carpenter and in 1826 joined the organ builders Marcussen and Reuter in Aabenraa, where he quickly became a trusted employee. In 1840 he became an independent organ builder. The organ facade is from around 1730, organ builder L. D. Kastens. The organ was restored and partially altered in 1938, 1952, 1970 (Marcussen & Søn) and in 2004 (Olav Haugland). In connection with the work in 2027, the organ will be refurbished, including repair of pipes, renovation of key action, including renewal of the pedal keyboard, repair of wind trunks, and cleaning of the organ. The original specification in the Cornet IV of the main organ is being reconstructed, and a zimbelstern is also being recreated. The original wind supply with 3 box bellows, with mechanical step operation, will be reconstructed, and an electric bellows winding system will be added.
HVIDING CHURCH
In 2027 we are rebuilding and expanding the organ in Hviding Church, Ribe Diocese. The organ was built in 1966 by Marcussen & Søn, with 12 stops on manual (C-c3) and pedal (C-d1). The manual division was built in behind the old organ facade (organ builder: Amdi Worm) from 1782. A new swell organ will be placed behind the existing pedal action. The console is replaced by a new 2-manual console with a compass of C-g3/ C-d1. The main division will be rebuilt with new and existing manual stops, which are placed on a new wind chest. Four of the existing manual stops are moved to the new swell. The pedal division remains unchanged. The specification is expanded to a total of 16 stops.
SEE AND HEAR AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF OUR ORGANS
The sound of a Marcussen & Son organ is something special. Since our very beginning, the sound has been a central part of our hallmark – and so it remains. A pipe organ from Marcussen & Son is known by the sound. We are proud when we are told that music lovers clearly feel and hear the difference and know when it is a Marcussen & Son organ that is played. We are dedicated to ensure that the organs we build fits perfectly with the specific room.
