Enjoyed the video, some good ideas, i love that you obviously are trying to get the congregation to sing. There is nothing worse than playing at a funeral, no one is singing and its All things bright and beautiful and you don't know what verse you're on!. Love to hear your improvisation ideas.

What are your thoughts, Joe, on using 16 foot flues, or sub couplers in the manuals during a hymn? Do you like to, or do you think the texture gets muddy, and loses clarity if you do?

Re intros - I'm never quite sure whether to play the first line of a hymn or the last as an intro. For Love Divine, the tune Blaenwern (or Hyfrydol which I prefer), the first part of the melody is repeated so the first two lines of the hymn are a good intro and the congregation know when to start singing. But for other hymn tunes there's nowhere easy to stop without abruptly leaving it "hanging". If you use the last part of the melody as an intro, then it's obvious where to start singing, as long as the congregation know it well. But if they don't know it so well, not all of them may remember how the melody starts. Many thanks for this video, I found it really useful.

Thank you! I’d appreciate that improv video!

Rawsthorne - yes!! Great content - echoes of my own early training, use of reeds, mixtures, couplers, registration, phrasing. My teacher used to say “gotta grab their interest and keep it.” Thank you ! Would love to see something on improvisation. Also psalm settings with a cantor. All best wishes from Wyoming.

Thank you so very much. What is your name? I am a beginning church organist, and this is really very helpful. - Matt, Mendocino, California www.youtube.com/@mattleach958

Absolutely wonderful! You sure make the Casavant sing!

A question about the celeste ranks in this organ, do they all go all the way down to bottom c? I've come across some organs where a celeste will end at tenor c, or g in the bottom octave, but not go all the way down to bottom c.

So beautiful! My late organ teacher, Douglas Haas, studied with Germani in Rome back in the 'sixties sometime. . . .

Beautiful!

Its so nice to see the lighter side of a serious profession. Well done!

OMG. I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING. I love this! You guys are just perfect 💕

This is hilarious!

That was really creative.

Just brilliant!! More please!!

Does anyone know the name of the song that the organist played before the Mass started?

The Bread Of Life is Yest for The soul

Thank you for a wonderful Mass

What was the postlude? Thanks!

I think there's a mistake in the description. I've heard of Christmas in July, but never heard of Lent in August haha.

Is this the audition process for your choir?

FYI, take it from an experienced electronics repair person : if you have that much visible corrosion on the unused pins, and especially that much visible rust on the screws, you should plan at a minimum replacing those pin headers and the multi position plug that plugs onto them. The corrosion and rust is inside the plug, header, and wires. That'll be your permanent fix. Also, while the PCB is off the cabinet for the work, it'll give you a good chance to look inside behind it and verify all is well back there, too. Once properly remedied you should be good to go for a long long long time as long as you keep it from getting corroded again ...

We were sitting in the pew wondering what happened and missing the organ. Glad it is a quick fix!

Always good to have Robert coming, he's the king! Several years ago, when Simon Irving was organist there, there was a solid state overhaul, I think, and he had to register with the crescendo pedal, but he had it all worked out, and he made it work for a few months, if I recall correctly. Robert helped him register the cresc. so he could know on the dial when the reeds came blasting in, for example. So he had no stops for a period of time. Glad the situation is working again, my friends!

Praise the Lord, the problem has been identified and fixed. A worrying time for you guys, your repairer is a top man.

😭 every organist's nightmare.

Well done Julian!!

Thank you - the music was glorious!

I enjoyed this Mass today,July 16. Thanks be to God!✝️💜💟

O, how I wish I could have been there!! Thank you for this recording! Praise God!

Electrifying performance.

Hope you all enjoy a little lighter side of the profession as a distraction (for a short time) to all the current events in the world. Peace all!

Lol whos idea was this , it's comical, I'm here for it 😂😂

Shocking 😂

Luv the vibe

That was hilarius!

My arms were hurting just watching you all play! I could definitely feel your pain, as I experienced something very similar during physio last year. I suppose it could give you a good idea of what to expect just prior to considering retirement?? Thanks for another entertaining video!

You guys! Wonder whose brilliant idea this was?? Loved the exclamations of horror when the TENS hit! Thanks for the laughs! 😂😂😂

A beautiful arrangement, beautifully played!

Wow! Glorious!

Bravo!!

Thank you for this amazing sermon!!! GB
