E5
The choir organ was built by Arisitde Cavaillé-Coll in
1843 and originally had 12 stops spread over 2
keyboards and a pedalboard.
Overhauled in 1869/80 and 1900
1919
The organ was enlarged by Victor Gonzalez: addition of
3 stops on electric transmission, including a Plein Jeu III
ranks, change of console and reharmoniation.
1958
Overhaul and extension by Boisseau.
1976
Restoration and transformation by Danion-Gonzalez:
•
New console (electric)
•
Electrification
•
Increase of the Plein Jeu from III to IV ranks,
installation of a new Doublette and Sesquialtera
•
New electric windchests and ventilators
•
Reharmonization (J-M. Cicchero)
1997
Dargassies reorganized, recomposed and re-
harmonized the organ. This is when replacing
transmissions. The console went mobile.
2015
Dargassies added an acoustic Bourdon 32 (16 + 10 2/3)
taken from the Soubasse.
Pending: a Bassoon16 on the pedalboard and a Voix
Humaine 8 on the Récit.
The transmission has been multiplexed, which makes it
very easy to move the mobile console.
