The Oxford Oratory
 

Edward de Rivera (Director of Music) wanted to strengthen the high musical tradition in The Oratory and so the decision to build a three manual and pedal pipe organ was instigated in 1998 .

The brief was to construct a 3 manual and pedal organ from both new and used parts. This was done in order to keep to a very small and strict budget.

The instrument has a terraced console in order that the player may see and conduct musicians around him. The organ was designed tonally in order to play as much of the repertoire as possible but with the accent on the accompaniment of the Liturgy.

Depending on our customers requirements we are able to offer one off, hand drawn designs. We also offer computer generated designs for the technical side of organ layouts.

This instrument was completed in 2004 with the addition of the east end Choir Organ.
