The History of the St. Michel Organ
The St. Michel Organ is located in the former Benedictine monastery of St. Michel en Thierache, one of the mediaeval gems of Northern France. The monastery was founded in the 7th century, and flourished first during the 11th-13th, and then in the 17th-18th, centuries. During its history, the abbey was damaged several times by fire, the last time in 1971. Fortunately, the organ was dismantled for reconstruction at that time, so it escaped destruction.

The organ was built by Jean Boizard in 1714, and is believed to be one of the rarely preserved instruments representative of the era of Louis XIV. It perfectly expresses the language of the French organ of the late 17th century, of the so called Grand Siecle period. This type of organ is different in important details from the design of the French organ during the Enlightment of 18th century (e.g. Dom BÃdos, fr. Isnard etc.). The organ was restored to its original state during the seventies in the workshop of Haerpfer and Hermann; the inauguration of the newly restored instrument took place on 24th September 1983 by Andrà Isoir. Since 1990, the organbuilder Georg Westenfelder is responsible for the maintenance of the instrument.
The Features and Specification of the St. Michel Organ
The St. Michel Organ has four manuals and a pedal with a total of 31 speaking stops. The first manual is the Positif, based on a 4-foot Montre. The second manual is the Grand Clavier, based on an 8-foot Montre. The third manual is the Recit, with a solo cornet. The fourth manual is the Echo, which contains an echo cornet stop. The pedal is coupled permanently to G.O., but this coupler can be switched off or on in Hauptwerk.
