Buzard Pipe Organ Builders has completed their Opus 49 organ for Saint Joseph Catholic Cathedral, Jefferson City, Missouri: three manuals and pedal, 30 stops, 36 ranks, 2,281 pipes.
The new organ provides a wealth of tone colors, classically scaled and voiced with a slight romantic cast to the voicing. A portion of the Great is under expression; the enclosed stops are labeled in red. The basis of the Great division is a 16′ Double Dulciana; the basis of the Swell is a 16′ Lieblich Gedeckt. These play at 8′ and 4′ pitches on the expressive “Choral Organ” behind the singers.
This organ is featured on the cover of the February 2025 issue of The Diapason:
