In 1933 the construction of two organs was planned
by Albert Alain: a large organ located above the portal
of the Church and a choir organ(the current organ)
located above the West ambulatory. Due to lack of
credits, only the small organ was built in 1934 by
Gloton-Debierre. In 1968, Beuchet-Debierre moved
the Plein jeu of the Récit to the GO and added a
cymbal to the Récit.
In 1985, Jean-Marc Cicchero carried out major works,
including a slight modification of sound plans, the
replacement on the GO of the flûte harmonique by a
Cornet III and the nazard (used again in the Cornet) by
a Doublette 2’ and the addition of a Flûte 4 on the
pedal.
2022:
The former tribune organ of St Nicaise in Rouen, built
in 1940 by the organ builder Louis Eugène-Rochesson,
completed in 1957 by Beuchet (45/III) and restored in
1989 par Philippe Hartmann, will be transferred to St.
Esprit. It will be placed on the tribune above the main
entrance of the church and will serve as the Great
Organ in addition to the existing choir organ (1934).

on the organ of Saint Esprit
Saint-Esprit was built between 1928 and 1935 by the
architect Paul Tournon following a plan inspired by that of
the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. It was built of reinforced
concrete with a facing of red bricks from
Burgundy.Tournon said that the huge dome made light by
the row of openings at its base, with the square nave that
supported it, symbolized the union of the divine and the
earth. The dome is 22 metres (72 ft) in diameter and its
summit is 33 metres (108 ft) above ground level. Use of
reinforced concrete for the vertical supports and the
dome was a major technical feat at the time.
