The organ in the chapel at College of Mount St. Vincent is seen in Doubt (Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman). This is one of Hilborne Roosevelt's first organs (1873), 2-16. The Clarabella is one stop primarily heard.
The college is in the Bronx. |

Some of the 'golden oldies' tunes may be in public domain, but will require some searching on the internet to find them. Sometimes there is a 'midi' of these which can be imported to a music notation software program and made into a score. The application I use, NWC2, does this easily.

Looks like A Canterbury Tale (1944) wasn't mentioned in this thread.
I was looking through it today and found a portion in the last quarter of the movie where a soldier plays Bach's Toccata & Fuge BWV 565 and in the last scene at the church he plays something I don't recognise. Can someone please tell me what it is? Last edited by Drinklicafix; Apr-01-2009 at 13:34. |

Gray & Davison enlarged the organ in 1852. Additions included a 16' Grand Trombone in the Pedal and a 16' Contra Fagotto in the Swell. Last edited by smilingvox; Oct-28-2009 at 23:43. |

As for the exact type of organ involved, I question whether ANYONE can really tell from recordings just what is going on. Nowadays they can do a lot with recording equipment. Next thing we know, someone will try to tell us they know if it's St. Sulpice or Wanamaker.
Of course, if the organ is visible, that's another story. But short of that or some type of documentation, who knows? |

As far as pipe organ goes.. or virtual reproduction of: every organ carries particuliar individual characteristics which can be noted in the sound of the instrument as it is played.... Takes a good ear but they are there... electronics also carry some of the same tonality characteristics.

Like I said before, concerning Christ Church Spitalfields, because of its silence since 1960, a recording of another organ must have been used in Chariots of Fire, which was shot in 1981. A brief shot of just the organ shows it was the old 1735 Bridge.

After a 3-month slumber for this thread, I found another flick with an organ.
The Haunting. Most of this movie was shot at Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire (England). Its Great Hall is this rotunda with a massive staircase, opposite of which is a pair of huge doors. On either side of the doors are guilded 16' facades, Aeolian-esque. Feet are painted. Smaller pipes appear high over the doors. I tried googling this, but got no results. Lots on the Manor, itself, though. Nothing found in the BIOS site, either. Organ was not heard in the movie. Any of our friends across the pond have any info on this organ? |

In the movie "Atonement" there is a scene of a wedding if I remember correctly in a Church, and a real organ can be heard. There is a clip on youtube as well:

Couldn't find that one right away, due to lack of time.
Another movie where I found what looked like an 18th-century instrument was Love Actually. It was a wedding, I believe, in like the first 10 minutes of the flick. It was filmed in a church in London. |

Pipe Organs in the Movies for $ 1000, Alex...
Minority Report, circa 2002... Tom Cruise portrays Chief John Anderton, lead officer of a "pre-crime" unit. The individuals he arrests prior to the commission of their crimes are put in a suspended state physically and mentally for their incarceration. Tim Blake Nelson ( "Delmar" in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?") portrays a wheelchair confined "jailkeeper" named "Gideon" who watches over his "flock", as he calls them. In several scenes he plays a Wurlitzer theater organ that lacks its pedal clavier... When Cruise's character Anderton is captured, he is incarcerated, under Gideon's watchful care. Prior to this Anderton evades identification by retinal scan thanks to transplantation of another person's eyes. When Anderton's former wife uses his removed eyes to gain access to the containment ward he is being held in, she puts a gun to Gideon's head and states "I'd like a word with my husband." When Gideon says " You're not authorized. How did you get in here?", she places a plastic bag with Anderton's removed, somewhat bloody eyes on one of the Wurlitzer's manuals... Interestingly enough, Mr. Nelson is an Oklahoma native... born and raised in Tulsa. I'm just a transplant... mwahahahaha!!! Just my dos centavos, mi compadres!! Have fun. Mark "D.C." |
