And Charlie, I’ve gotten the chance to play R.M Ballantyne Op.25 organ. I play it every Tuesday, it’s the most amazing organ I could have ever gotten the chance to play. I know you play that organ at St. John’s because I see your name in the register, keep up the good the amazing work Charlie. Keep this instrument alive!
Wow, Charlie. This sounded fabulous. I love your articulation and registrations. This is Ed, who served on our chapter of the AGO board. Your technique is so clean. Thanks for sharing your talent and musicality and highlighting this iconic organ.
YES, and I am certain he is smiling from heaven knowing his Crystal Cathedral became a REAL Cathedral and I am sure he is very happy with the Catholic Church
@@Ken_Weber_organist His cathedral was real in spite of your sarcastic cut. His vision and devotion to our Lord is what guided him to build such a wonderful ministry. Shame on you for disparaging such a devout Christian.
@@Modeltnick c'mon, it was NOT a sarcastic cut, Rev Schuller had vision of this happening in time, his spiritual mentor was the late Cardinal Fulton Sheen.
Ah now I understand. I agree, doesn't sound like it was recorded from the console, and the quality seems better than I'd expect from a camera microphone...
Thank you for your comment and for listening to our channel. Keep in mind that the church is now a Catholic cathedral. The organ was purposely changed to be part of the background, as in liturgical churches, the organ is not the center of attention. The organ exists to serve the liturgy, where the attention is on the proclamation of the Word and the preparation and sharing of the Eucharist.
Actually, his wife, Arvella, had a bit to say in the choice as she was actually a skilled organist herself. The one who was consulted on this was none other than the great Virgil Fox. I am sure he understood acoustics quite well.

Thanks for listening
AAAAAHHHHHH the mighty Hazel Wright Organ restored to her massive glory! This is only a 10th of what this instrument can do. Great job!!
MAGNIFICENT!
That was fun!
SOUNDED GREAT
Beautiful, the reeds are amazing! Great performance too! Loved watching your hands on the keys. Thanks
I played this hymn tune today in church....... In the evening I got this in suggestion
It’s available on evensongmusic.net if you’re interested :)
Dr. Schuller’s spirit is still in that place where glorious worship took place.

@@Ken_Weber_organist I stand corrected. You are correct about that. My apologies.
@@Modeltnick no problem, sir
Sounds great! Would love to learn this great piece.
The piece is available at www.evensongmusic.net/?page_id=7042
There's nothing quite like a well played Hammond B-3 or a well played pipe organ such as this one. Could listen forever.
Thanks!
This was the Postlude for the 4:30 Mass service!!! And it sounded amazing despite the nasty heat affecting Hazel.
Great organ and great playing! Would love to have this organ as sample set for Hauptwerk… ;)
Sure if you have about 256GB of RAM...it would probably cost +$2k
You should use the Ryan Thoryk Composite for GrandOrgue which is inspired by the Crystal Cathedral. :)
*Crystal
Is that the organ shaking the camera?
Yes, the balcony vibrates from the bass flues
sounds like it was recorded with microphones
How else would you suggest it be recorded? With vegetables?
@@nathandavis3002 as in separately from the camera, like external mics
Ah now I understand. I agree, doesn't sound like it was recorded from the console, and the quality seems better than I'd expect from a camera microphone...
@@nathandavis3002 I love veggie microphones LOL
You need a heavier tripod...
The organ sounds great but it just doesn’t seem to have the same visual impact that it had before the remodel.

Wonderful arrangement and beautifully played.
@@charlieraasch3258 the organ should not be the center of ANY worship service, Catholic or Protestant.
I still want to know who bright idea it was to build a fabulous organ in a class church... . Glass equals no reverb
Exactly wrong. Hard surfaces (glass) and parallel structures make for best reverb
See the interview by late Fred Swann , organist with Carol Williams "ON THE BENCH"
