context_page_description: Manuel J. Rosales, Jr., is an American organ builder whose instruments display a strong synthesis of romantic and contemporary styles. His workshop has built over 30 pipe organs with his notable output including collaborations on the instruments at Walt Disney Concert Hall and Rice University.
context_section_description: Rosales achieved notoriety in 1987 with the bold tonal design of his new instrument for Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon. Built at a cost of $1 million, a substantial figure for an organ at that time, it is considered to be “one of the great organs in the United States”. Two years later, Rosales completed an organ conceived in the early Spanish style for Mission San José, joining a movement of American organ builders who, during the 1980s and 1990s, designed instruments in specific historic styles that embrace the literature of their period.
