Come, let us anew - All Saints' Church, Mickleover, Derby (Compton organ)

#comptonorgan #churchorgan #pipeorgan
Me playing the organ at All Saints' Church in the village of Mickleover just outside Derby.
The organ was first built by William Hill & Son in 1903 and installed in a chamber on the north side of the chancel. In 1949 it was rebuilt by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd when the pipework was moved to its current location in the west end of the nave. Much new pipework was added including the Trumpet rank and also a detached stopkey console of the distinctive Compton design. In 1981 the organ was rebuilt by M Thompson which saw the removal of the Compton patent 32ft polyphonic bass. The specification now reads:

I am playing the hymn 'Come, let us anew' to the tune 'Derby' which I chose as Mickleover is just a couple of miles outside of Derby.
Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to this fine instrument.

REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know. I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.

Rare to have a Compton church organ to have 2 trombone stops.
