The “Amens/Alleluias” stop
Depending on model, your Rodgers organ may contain a very unique stop called
Amens/Alleluias . This stop is quite different from a regular organ stop. Unlike a pipe organ stop
where all 61 keys play the same sound at a different pitch, this stop is comprised of four groups
of recordings of a choir singing Amen or Alleluia chants. As a key is pressed, the choir is heard.
This stop may be most useful for meditative improvisations. The improvisation could be as
simple and elegant as playing middle C on the Chimes, then playing one of the Amen recordings
(by depressing a C key). Or, the stop could be used more extensively in a more elaborate
improvisation. The chart below shows the four groups of Amen or Alleluia recordings. If you
play the “C” key as shown in the chart, you will hear the choir singing the Amen or Alleluia as
shown in the bottom music staff. Each recording is grouped in a range of 12 notes, from G to
F#. The Amen or Alleluia chant is heard in the corresponding key of the note you depress. Hold
the note down until the sound finishes. You may be tempted to move your fingers to a different
note as you hear changes in notes or harmonies on the recording. However, keep your finger
depressed on that key to the end of the sound. Play only one key at a time.
TRY THIS: Listen to each stop on your organ individually. Hold a chord or a key and turn on and off
each stop, one by one. Listen for its character (identify to which family it belongs); listen for its
strength (loud/soft); listen for its pitch. Most importantly, learn and remember which stops are
the softest and the loudest.
