Bonus Extra! – “Superman March”
Jonas Nordwall performs the “Superman March” by composer John Williams on the Mary L. Collins Organ, First United Methodist Church, Portland. (4 manuals, 111 ranks.)
As part of the Organ Grinder Documentary Project, Jonas sat for an extended interview this week.
At the end, he gave us a demonstration of the Mary L. Collins organ, which has been rebuilt and enlarged by Rose City Organ Builders Inc. and Zollman Organ Co. Jonas and his son Chris continue to refine its ever expanding tonal palette.
It is a versatile instrument that can play multiple styles of organ music, from classical to theatre.
The “Superman March” was a crowd-pleasing number at the Organ Grinder restaurant.
