That is wonderful, wonderful. I am not sure why I find this sound, this music
so expansive and exhilarating. Maybe it is a combination of the acoustics
echoing off the beauty of the spires and around the intricate filligree of the
cathedral screens and stonework. It all contributes to this timeless sort of
forgotten memory feeling I get, as if this music, the nature of the this sound
is really ancient and imbedded in my DNA.
I thought you might find this interesting. A very close and dear family friend
of ours has an organ installed in his townhouse in Portland Maine. Here are
some links to his home and instrument:

Correction: maybe acoustics are the result of a combination of the notes
played, the vibration of the sound through air, hitting the various
architectural elements of the Cathedral or other enclosure thus creating the
culmination of all of this as the final sound, the "acoustic". Nevertheless,
I'm diggin' those big organs right now - just add a little frankincense and a
Christmas choir and I'm right in my element. Leonard Cohen just ain't cuttin'
it for me.
