The Full Stops<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0documentary on pipe organ making at St. John’s Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota is now available! Filmed by David Klassen, award-winning writer and producer, the piece was first released on December 3, 2025, at a reception hosted by Saint John\u2019s Abbey Organ Builders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film features music from Greg Zelek (Madison, Wisconsin Symphony Orchestra); Fr. Bob Koopmann (St. John\u2019s Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota); Isabelle Demers (McGill University, Montreal, Canada) and Damin Spritzer (University of Oklahoma).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Zelek explains during the filming of this documentary, the term “Full Stops” means that “you can go from absolutely no sound in a space and, in a matter of seconds, have all of the stops pulled on the organ and have this unbelievable sound that envelops you and envelops the space.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pray Tell <\/em>extends the invitation to its readers to join us for liturgy and hear the Abbey Organ when you\u2019re in Collegeville! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
