LUTHERAN CHURCH rgan music featured at focal church concert **AN ORGAN is really like an or- chestra,’’ says local organist Patricia Shaw. “An organ really is many dif- ferent instruments,’’ explains the woman who will bring North Van- couver’s Gloria Dei Lutheran Church alive with music Feb. 20, Playing the organ “‘for a good 30 years,’’ Shaw says an organ can be made to sound as much like a flute or a stringed instrument as the organist desires. Playing on the church’s tracker-type mechanical action organ will allow Shaw more feeling in her music, something lacking with the more modern instruments. The two keyboards found on most organs give the music an in- creased power and special color — a depth to the piece. “‘It’s just much more versatile.’’ Learning to coordinate the in- strument’s two keyboards and one pedalboard takes about a year, she explains. Learning how to play well takes about 10 years. “There are people who would not agree with me but I’m talking about playing well,’’ says Shaw. “It varies with the age at which you start to learn.” During her organ playing career, Shaw has played in some cathe- drals so large the music takes seven seconds to reach listeners at the building’s far end. “Ie’s difficult to play in there — you play one note and hear another.”’ Shaw's performance begins at 8 p.m. at the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church at 1110 Gladwin Dr. Cost is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors or students, $3 for youths. Tickets will be sold at the door. For reservations call 988-5838.
