Roskilde was a Viking trading place more than 1000 years ago. At the Viking Ship Museum you can see remains of Viking ships from the 11th century and sail like a Viking out on the fjord. In the centre of Roskilde is Roskilde Cathedral, the burial place of Danish kings and queens. The church is an early example of French-influenced gothic architecture and features on UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage. Roskilde also offers a modern cultural life with pedestrianised shopping streets and squares. During the summer, Roskilde Festival, which is northern Europe’s largest culture and music festival, attracts thousands of people. In July, fans pour into town for the four-day Roskilde Festival, which vies with Glastonbury for the title of Europe’s biggest rock festival.

The locale's narrow cobblestone streets conceal an entire constellation of breathtaking heritage sites and architectural marvels that showcase Salsburg's vibrant past. Some of the area's prime attractions include the Salzburg Cathedral, Collegiate by Public Domain Church, Franciscan Church, Holy Trinity Church, Nonnberg Abbey, and Mozart's birthplace. +43 662 88 9870 (Tourist Information) Getreidegasse, Salzburg Getreidegasse "Salzburg's Most Famous Shopping Street" Salzburg's Getreidegasse is the most famous street in the city, therefore the most crowded. If you are really interested in getting a view of the charming old houses, try to visit early, preferably before 10 in the morning - pretty portals and wonderful courtyards can only be seen and appreciated then. The Getreidegasse is famous for its wrought-iron signs, by Edwin Lee dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries - the design of the signs dates back to the Middle Ages! It is worth taking a second look at the houses because they are adorned with dates, symbols or the names of their owners, so they often tell their own history. +43 662 8 8987 [email protected] Getreidegasse, Salzburg Residenzplatz "Central Square" Set in the center of Altstadt, Residenzplatz is a must visit when visiting the city.

MSGR. W. RONALD JAMESON, V.F. Msgr. Jameson was raised in Hughesville, MD and studied at St. Charles College High School, St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore and the Theological College of the Catholic University of America. Msgr. Jameson was eventually ordained in 1968. Following his ordination, he completed two assignments in Maryland parishes, followed by an assign- ment for St. Matthew's Cathedral (1974- 1985). Msgr. Jameson has served God in many ways. He has achieved many titles, assumed positions for a variety of archdiocesan posi- tions and served or serves on multiple na- tional boards. In October 2007, Theological College bestowed on Msgr. Jameson its Alumnus Lifetime Service Award honoring him as Pastor-Leader of the Faith Communi- ty due to his many archdiocesan positions and his outstanding service to God. His legacy to St. Matthew's Cathedral will undoubtedly be his enduring interest in building parish community, establishing a parish archive and history project, orches- trating the Cathedral's major restoration project and the construction of the adjoining rectory and office building project on Rhode Island Avenue (1998-2006). *NOTE: The "V.F." after Msgr Jameson's name denotes that he is appointed by the Archbishop as a Vicar Forane or Dean of one of the ecclesial subdivisions (i.e.

  • History of the Cathedral Organ

    History of the Cathedral Organ

    History of the Cathedral Organ The first worship service was held at the Cathedral of the Incarnation on Trinity Sunday, 1911. At this time, only the undercroft was completed, and the building was designated the “pro-cathedral”, meaning the building was designated to someday be the Cathedral. No records can be found of what instrument was used between 1911 and 1931, when the upper church was finally completed. Neither can any record be found of the instrument used in our sanctuary between 1931 and 1941. In 1941, the original Cathedral organ was purchased from the Möller Organ Company of Hagerstown. The instrument at the time had a total of fourteen ranks of pipes and chimes. The purchase price was $5,825, for Möller Opus 7042 (about $91,000 in 2014 dollars). Completion of the organ, envisioned to be 43 ranks, was planned as soon as funds were available. In 1960, the Cathedral received a bequest by Ella Jarrett and Mary Helen Ziegler for additions to the organ. A contract was given to the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company of Boston for the additions (Opus 1386). Six additional ranks were added to the swell organ and seven ranks were added to the choir organ. The cost of this work was $15,200 (about $119,000 in 2014 dollars). A proposal to add an additional 11 ranks to the great organ and five ranks to the pedal organ was rejected by the Chapter as too costly. The cost of these additions at the time was $17,550. By 1971, the organ was in need of an overhaul.

Visit the Concert Calendar of the NYC Chapter, and attend some concerts! Table of contents: Dean's Message Program News Quote of the Month Won't you be my neighbor? Joke of the Month From the Editor Dean's Message It is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the winner of the 2019 International Performer of the Year Award: Joan Lippincott. Read more about Joan's career later in this issue. More than 200 votes were cast by the Chapter membership, and it is clear that many people hold a deep appreciation for all Joan has done and continues to do in the world of the pipe organ and its music. Brava! The International Performer of the Year Award was created in 1978 to recognize excellence in organ performance and to increase public awareness of the organ and its performers. Robert Noehren was the first recipient of the award, in 1978. The award is considered by many to be the highest organists' honor given by a musicians' guild in the United States. The New York City Chapter's Distinguished Career Award was created in 2016 to honor people for exemplary service to the organ, choral music, and related fields. The inaugural recipient was Diane Bish. Each award is made on a biennial basis. Our grateful thanks go to the Awards Committee members, Chelsea Chen, David Hurd, Daniel Hyde, and Donald Meineke, Chair.
