The 1989 chapter of Opus 58 at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer
Martin Ott Opus 58 was a 19-stop, 22-rank mechanical organ commissioned in 1989 for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota. Kim Kasling of St. John's University is named as organ consultant.
For Opus 58, 1989 is the date attached to the original project line. It may denote an order, workshop period, installation, or dedication, but the builder account for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer does not say which. The pairing with Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota prevents confusion with another instrument. Any current claim needs a later institutional record.
St. Paul as the setting for Opus 58
For this project, Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota is more than a city label but less than a room survey. It identifies the congregation that commissioned or received the instrument at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. The page for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer does not give enough architectural evidence to describe seating, reflective surfaces, organ placement, or measured reverberation.
The recorded scale of Opus 58 at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer
The catalogue records 19 stops and 22 ranks for Opus 58. In the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer account from St. Paul, Minnesota, stops are choices at the console; ranks are rows of pipes that may serve those choices singly or in groups. The Opus 58 figures place the rank total 3 above the stop total. At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota, a complete stop list is needed to connect that numerical gap with actual registers. The brief line does not supply division names, pitches, or the individual voices behind the totals recorded for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer.
For the St. Paul, Minnesota project, the line 19 stops | 22 ranks Mechanical action is concise but still valuable. It describes the documented size of Opus 58 without pretending to be a full technical survey. At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota, a complete disposition could later connect those totals with manuals, Pedal, couplers, and compound stops. Until then, the figures recorded for the St. Paul project should guide the scale of the discussion while the missing tonal details remain plainly unresolved.
Action and control in the St. Paul project: Opus 58
For Opus 58 at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, a mechanical action carries key movement to the wind valves through physical parts such as trackers and levers. Within the documented St. Paul chapter, the overview confirms that principle without drawing the linkage used in this organ. At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota, key weight, adjustment, repairs, and present feel all require later technical evidence.
Beyond the totals: one clue from Lutheran Church of the Redeemer: Opus 58
The archival portrait becomes most useful when it stays specific: Kim Kasling is named as consultant and the historical introduction and specification were marked under revision. In the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer account from St. Paul, Minnesota, these details describe an organ made for a church, but they should not be stretched into an acoustic or tonal portrait. The builder account for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer does not tell us which choruses, reeds, or accompanimental colours the player relied on. At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota, that analysis requires the original specification and a dated account of use. The listed 19-stop, 22-rank scale remains the numerical boundary for this reading.
The unfinished account for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer: Opus 58
The archived page explicitly marks its introduction and specification notes as under revision. It provides no case description, placement, recital, caption, project chronology, relocation, or later work. The identity, overview totals, mechanical action, and Kasling's role are the only project facts that can be retained without extending an incomplete source. The missing draft material cannot be reconstructed from the page's empty placeholders or revision notice alone.
Photographs and unanswered questions from St. Paul: Opus 58
A project-number match exists for 1 Opus 58 image file, including images/058/058_m.jpg. That makes the matched material a better candidate than a generic organ photograph for the St. Paul, Minnesota project. At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minnesota, their creator and reuse terms are not stated in the available caption text.
The old Opus 58 page was left with its introduction and specification under revision. Its place at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, the listed totals, action, and named consultant are dependable enough to report, but the missing narrative cannot be filled from neighbouring projects. A completed stop list or dated church account would materially change this history.
