Calvary Choir presented the Messe in h-moll, op. 232 (B-minor Mass) of J. S. Bach in the winter of 1989. The choir was accompanied by a hired orchestra and a small continuo instrument that was rented from the Martin Ott Pipe Organ Co. of St. Louis, Missouri. Following the presentation, the church decided to purchase this instrument.
"The Little Organ," as it has come to be known, is used by the Calvary Choirs for music that calls for a lighter sound. It is a wonderful foil for the church's much larger Æolian-Skinner. It has been used by The Memphis Symphony Orchestra, The Memphis Boy Choir and Chamber Choir, and other performing ensembles in the greater Memphis community.
