Insistent tones from the Alice Clement Memorial Organ drifted down the hallways and into every Melrose Hall room. Inside Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium, a packed house watched as organist Dean Lemire brought to life the 1922 classic silent film “Nosferatu” with his original score as part of the 2023 NW Media Fest.
Linfield’s Casavant organ is a memorial to Clement, who served Linfield as the dean of the conservatory from 1922-1946. It is equipped with 2,314 pipes, 38 stops and 48 ranks. According to the program from the organ’s dedication on Feb. 24, 1969: “The organ is composed of three completely independent divisions, each pipe finished to perfection by voicers from the factory right in Melrose Chapel.”
