You'll be relieved to discover that geekiness is not confined to Beaumont Music Department staff. The use of the 32' stop on the organ of Westminster Abbey in Parry's I was glad during the Royal Wedding now has its own facebook page. Music geeks from around the world have "liked" it, and some cool person has even posted a photo of the moment it happens in the score (see photo above). Appreciate the 32' moment by listening to the music on the video below.
