Hymn 180 from The Hymnal 1982: He is risen
Alan Lewis, organist
Calvary Episcopal Church
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Calvary Church was founded in East Liberty in 1855. Calvary, and the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, of which it is a member, are part of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, a branch of the world-wide Anglican Communion, descended from the Church of England and thus a part of catholic Christianity tracing its lineage back, through apostolic succession, to the first Christian disciples.
Calvary houses a large pipe-organ, built by Casavant-Frères of Québec, installed in 1963; it is accounted one of the region’s finest, and its hundred stops and more than 7,000 pipes are heard regularly in services and recitals. (About 10% of the organ’s pipes are visible in the West Gallery; the remainder are housed behind the grillwork and façade overlooking the Transepts and Choir Stalls.)
