Notes

2025-04-15 - From *The Democrat & Chronicle* (April 11, 1901): "This evening at 8 o'clock, James E. Bailey will give the first organ recital on the new organ in the Church of the Reformation on Grove Street. Vocal assistance will be furnished by the boy choir of the Church of the Reformation, which has been under Mr. Bagley's direction since its organization, a year ago, and also by the choir of Christ Church, forming in all, a chorus of seventy boys and men ... The new organ is of ample size and very complete in every detail that goes to make up a first-class organ. The voicing of the various registers is especially good, and many beautiful solo effects can be produced. It was built by the firm of Jesse Woodbury [sic] & Co. of Boston, who have also placed organs in Christ Church, Berth Kodesh Temple, St. Paul's Church, St. Mark's Church and Cornell Church ..." -Andrew Henderson
