Some of you may recall that I asked for information about a Debain
harmonium and Antiphonel key-top player some time ago.  Those of you
who were able to attend the MBSI Dearborn convention and our open
house got to hear a little bit of the organ with its player.  We've
now recorded all the songs we own, but except for three we have no idea
what these tunes are.  I'm sending the recordings and a few photos in
hopes that someone might recognize a few of them.

You will all know tune 7, God Save the Queen/My Country 'tis of Thee,
which is sadly just a fragment of the entire piece.

Tune 14 has been identified as Coronation March from Le Prophete by
Giacomo Meyerbeer, and tune 243 has been identified as the Hunter's
Chorus from Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber.

Some of the other tunes we think are complete, but many are just
partial.  We still have much work to do to get the organ and player
back to "factory" condition, but it was a thrill to listen to music
that has been silent for who knows how many years.

Enjoy!
