About the Allen Organs
The Allen Organ company has set the standard for organ building, having become the largest manufacturer of church organs in the world! They have created an instrument with the most realistic pipe organ sounds available, without the use of pipes.

Allen made its first commercially available electronic organ in 1939. In 1971, the company introduced the Digital Computer Organ. Since that time, many refinements have been made. The sound of wind-blown pipes are recorded and stored in computer chips. Though the use of digital circuitry, heavy-duty amplifiers, and advanced design speaker enclosures, the traditional sounds of a pipe organ became a reality. Although this organ's technical design is different from its predecessor, it is played in a completely conventional manner. Consequently, Allen Organ installations can be found in churches, educational institutions and concert halls around the world.

The selections on this recording are from two different Allen Organ installations, each with its own individual characteristics.
