EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grandeur and majesty of the Herman Kotzschmar Memorial Organ at New City Hall in Portland, Maine, USA. Built in 1909 and dedicated in 1912, this organ was a gift from Cyrus H.K. Curtis and was the fourth largest organ in the world at the time of its construction, costing an impressive $60,000. The organ's impressive size and scale are evident in this image, with its towering pipes reaching towards the ornate dome above. The organ is a significant historical and musical instrument, featuring over 3,000 pipes and numerous keyboards and pedals. It was named in honor of Herman Kotzschmar, a renowned organist and music educator who had a profound impact on the musical community in Portland. The interior of New City Hall is equally impressive, with its neoclassical design and grand auditorium. The stage and chairs are arranged for a concert, with the bust of Herman Kotzschmar looking on from the steps. The auditorium is adorned with pilasters, Corinthian columns, dentils, and other architectural features that add to the grandeur of the space. The organ's dedication in 1912 marked a significant moment in the history of Portland and the musical community in Maine. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and beauty of this historic organ and the impressive architecture of New City Hall.
