Thank you! And thanks for watching too!

Thanks Daniel! 😊

Thanks so much Phil! 😊

Thanks!

Living in Canada, playing American music! 😉

@@jv04jm I was under the impression it was Welsh music?

@JoshMcNabb sure... an American composer writing an arrangement on a Welsh hymn tune, played by a Canadian of Dutch descent on an organ built by a Canadian of German heritage in a church of Scottish Presbyterian heritage. 🤩

@@jv04jm That's awesome!! I find tunes originating from Wales have something special about them, including some pretty phenomenal harmonies. Calon Lân, Cwm Rhondda, Rachie, and In Memoriam are notable examples. Keep up the great posts!

You may need to listen a little more closely beginning at 0:42. 😉

Wow! Because YOU couldn't hear the hymn, that somehow makes it an awful rendition by someone else?

One thing I believe has harmed the art of organ playing has been the indifference and arrogance of those close to the instrument. As a music director, I always left the console unlocked and open so children could walt up and touch it, to help them develop an interest. I have been at churches where the church council had to approve anyone even playing the thing. Hey folks! Wake up! It is a musical instrument. Then there are the thousands of non-players who believe they are music critics....

Thank you Robert! It is indeed! 🤩

Thank you for your kind words and for watching! 😊

@@jv04jm top dankuwel!

Dankjewel! 😄

Thank you kindly!

Thanks so much James!

😜

So kind of him eh? 😉

Thanks James! ☺️

Thank you kindly Robert. This fanfare is especially effective and one of my Paul Fey faves!! 🤩

My pleasure!!

Thank you! 😊

It sometimes can be... depending on how well tuned the mixture is how high up the keyboard. It does have some neo baroque tendencies which seem to align which don't always perfectly suit this more romantic type of music.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching! 😊 I found this piece in the collection "Seven Hymn Voluntaries" published by Theodore Presser Company, 1965.

I appreciate the info! Sadly I've waited until the last minute to find something - and I was hoping it was available digitally. So maybe next year! Thanks for your reply!

Maybe if I listen enough over the next 24 hrs I can pick up a few bars haha!

Better late than never James! 😉 And thanks for your generous endorsement! 😊

Thanks William! ☺️

Thanks for your kind words. I love it too! ❤

Thanks Phil! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Aww thank you! And thanks for watching! 😊

Thank you Phil! I'm glad you approve! It made its debut performance in Niagara-on-the-Lake on a Sunday morning some weeks ago as the postlude after a sermon on the Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon. 🎶🎵🫅🤴

Thank you for watching! 😊

Thank you kindly! 😊 It is indeed a beautiful little piece.

Thanks James! I have the details in the description of where you can find this piece. It may be out of print but perhaps some online scouring can bring results. All the best! 😊

Thanks Ralf! Greetings back to you as well! 😊

Thank you for watching and your kind words! 😊

Thank you kindly. It is indeed not a large instrument but is quite versatile given the spec design and voicing. It leads the congregation quite handily each Sunday as well. 😊

You're most welcome! Thank you for composing this most compelling piece! 👌

That it is... but so good!

Thank you Jerry! And the very same to you as well.

Aww thanks Phil! It's in a March edition of one of those Lorenz music books they (used to?) put out. I think maybe even from the 80's. I have no idea how I got a few of them, but there are little gems in there! A Google search doesn't even show an option anywhere to purchase this. I'm sure I can figure out a way to get this to you.

You're most welcome!

also for the coronation of His and Her Majesties Charles III and Camilla

It's such a great piece!!

To keep both player and listener on their figurative toes! 😉 And thanks! 😊

Thank you kindly Jerry! 🤩

In a good or bad way? 😉

Same here!!

This little organ pulls more than its weight on paper! And thanks for writing this arrangement! My son, who is a huge Carol of the Bells fan, loved it!! 😍

Thanks James! I played a few others in it as well. They need a bit of work before I dare record them though! Too busy this time of year! Happy New Year to you too!

Thanks Jerry!
