The Commemorative Album
After months of hard work, The Saint Anne’s Church Organ Commemorative Album is now publicly available. Everything from the detailed artwork to the diverse selection of fine classical music has been carefully crafted into a tangible piece of Fall River’s long and rich history. This project was specifically intended to digitally recreate an instrument that is not replaceable, then create something with the results. Whatever the future holds for the Saint Anne’s Church building, all of the distinct sounds from its beloved 2793 Casavant Pipe Organ will now virtually live forever! A perfectly tuned and complete digital recreation of the original instrument.
Each album comes with a resealable protective wrapper and certificate of authenticity. The resealable protective wrappers were instituted to ensure a clean storage solution while the album is not in use.
The certificate of authenticity has a unique number that corresponds with the album it came with. The same number can be found on both the certificate and the inside panel of the album. These unique numbers are instantly assigned to a specific person at the time that person successfully completes the registration process. It’s quick and easy to register!
In many instances, these albums are purchased with the intent to be given as gifts to family members and/or close friends. Under these circumstances, there is an option for the person who received the album as a gift to manually register by following the instructions on the certificate that came with the album. At the time of completing the manual registration, the new registrar’s name is recorded under the original name assigned to that album’s unique number.
The purpose of this registration system is to develop a database. This database will include the name and unique number that corresponds to an album. The information is updated and shared with the Bishop’s Office at The Diocese of Fall River. This information is intended to help future researchers on their quest with discovering those who owned an album in the event one is found.
