PAGE 68FRIDAY, 18 MAYThe Chapel: St. John’s College, Cambridge, has a distinguished tradition of religious music and, since the 1670s, has possessed aworld-famous College Choir. The chapel is regarded as one of the finest and most successful Gothic Revival chapels in the country.In 1861 the College’s administration decided that a new building was needed to replace the smaller, medieval chapel which datedback to the 13th century. Sir George Gilbert Scott was selected as architect. He had recently finished work on a similar project atExeter College, Oxford, and went about constructing the Chapel of St. John’s College along similar lines, drawing inspiration fromthe Church of Saint Chapelle in Paris. The misericordes and paneling date from 1516, and were salvaged from the old chapel. Thechapel contains some 15th century glass, but most was cast around 1869. Freestanding statues and plaques commemorate Collegebenefactors.Stop List:Pedal Choir Great SwellSubbass 32’ Open Diapason 8’ Double Open Diapason 16’ Bourdon 16’Open Diapason Wood 16’ Gedackt 8’ Open Diapason 1 8’ Open Diapason 8’Open Diapason Metal 16’ Gamba 8’ Open Diapason 2 8’ Rohr Gedackt 8’Dulciana 16’ Principal 4’ Stopped Diapason 8’ Salicional 8’Bourdon 16’ Flute 4’ Principal 4’ Voix Celeste 8’Principal 8’ Nazard 2 2/3’ Gemshorn 4’ Principal 4’Bass Flute 8’ Fifteenth 2’ Wald Flute 4’ Stopped Flute 4’Fifteenth 4’ Flautina 2’ Twelfth 2 2/3’ Fifteenth 2’Flute 4’ Tierce 1 3/5’ Fifteenth 2’ Sesquialtera IIMixture IV Mixture II-III Flageolet 2’ Mixture IVContra Trombone 32’ Cremona 8’ Full Mixture III Double Trumpet 16’Ophicleide 16’ Tremulant Sharp Mixture III Cornopean 8’Fagotto 16’ Cornet V Oboe 8’Posaune 8’ Trumpet 8’ Vox Humana 8’Clarion 4’ Clarion 4’ Clarion 4’TremulantSoloHohl Flute 8’Viola da Gamba 8’Viola Celeste 8’Flauto Traverso 4’Corno di Bassetto 8’Cor Anglais 8’TremulantTuba Mirabilis 8’Trompeta Real 8’CouplersSwell to PedalSwell to GreatSwell to ChoirChoir to GreatChoir to PedalGreat to PedalSolo to GreatSolo to ChoirSolo to SwellSolo to PedalSolo Octave to PedalAccessoriesGreat and Pedal Combinations CoupledGenerals on Swell Composition PedalsFull Organ8 Thumb Pistons to each manual8 general thumb pistons8 composition pedals to pedal8 composition pedals to swell (duplicating)reversible thumb pistons for: ch-pd, gt-pd, sw-pd, solo-pd, ch-gt, sw-gt,solo-gt, sw-ch, solo-sw;Reversible composition pedals for: gt-pd, sw-gt, full organ, cimbelstern;General Cancel Piston
