The pipe organ in Marsh Chapel was crafted by Casavant Fr\u00e8res, Ltd., in Quebec, installed in the 1950s, and refurbished and rededicated in 1985. Like every pipe organ, once installed, it is one of a kind. \u201cNo two organs have the same set of sounds,\u201d says Blackwell. \u201cThe stops on every organ are different, and organ builders construct pipes differently over the years. But even if you had two organs with exactly the same stops and the same pipes, the acoustics of the room would be different, which causes the sounds to interact in a different way.\u201d The Marsh Chapel pipe organ is the real deal, with no added digital technology like many contemporary organs, &#8220;basically the same technology as the organs of the 1600s.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote is-style-modern has-image-focus-center-middle\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\">Considered to be one of the most vibrant parts of the greater university community,\u00a0Music at Marsh Chapel\u00a0enjoys a rich heritage of quality music-making both in worship and concert.\u00a0<\/div><footer class=\"caption\">-Dr. Scott Allen Jarrett (CFA&#8217;99,&#8217;08) Marsh Chapel music director and former CFA director of choral activities<\/footer><hr\/><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button wp-block-bu-button bu-blocks-block-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/chapel\/\">More on marsh chapel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-editorial-photoessay alignfull wp-block-photoessay js-block-editorial-photoessay\"><div class=\"photo-row-thirds-1-1-1\">\n<div class=\"photo-1\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"995\" height=\"664\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/h_butoday_16-10541-BLACKWELL-041-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/h_butoday_16-10541-BLACKWELL-041-1.jpeg 995w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/h_butoday_16-10541-BLACKWELL-041-1-636x424.jpeg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/h_butoday_16-10541-BLACKWELL-041-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/h_butoday_16-10541-BLACKWELL-041-1-900x600.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/h_butoday_16-10541-BLACKWELL-041-1-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/h_butoday_16-10541-BLACKWELL-041-1-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px\" \/><figcaption><p class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media-caption wp-prepress-component-caption\">Photo by Jackie Ricciardi<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"photo-1\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"661\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/banner-marsh-chapel-20-1223-CELIE-050-1024x661.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/banner-marsh-chapel-20-1223-CELIE-050-1024x661.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/banner-marsh-chapel-20-1223-CELIE-050-636x411.jpeg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/banner-marsh-chapel-20-1223-CELIE-050-768x496.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/banner-marsh-chapel-20-1223-CELIE-050-1536x991.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/banner-marsh-chapel-20-1223-CELIE-050-1549x1000.jpeg 1549w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfa\/files\/2022\/05\/banner-marsh-chapel-20-1223-CELIE-050.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><p class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media-caption wp-prepress-component-caption\">Photo by Cydney Scott<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"photo-1\"><div class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/cfa\/files\/2022\/08\/18-1248-CFACLASS-121-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3120\"\/><figcaption><p class=\"wp-block-photoessay-media-caption wp-prepress-component-caption\">Photo by Natasha Moustache<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston University\u2019s non-denominational Neo-Gothic chapel serves as a \u201cheart for the heart of the city and a service in the service of the city.\u201d Located at 735 Commonwealth Avenue, ensembles and soloists alike often perform in Marsh Chapel as part of the School of Music concert season.
