As an 11yrold I would sneak into our boarding school chapel and play this on the 2000 pipe organ which had horizontal spun brass trumpets from Spain. A delicious racket that would get the chaplain running in and telling me to tone the volume down.
I've got to tell you again. I love this and the way the organist plays it sends chills down my spine. I have been ill for the last ten days and I give praise to the dear Lord Jesus for bringing me through to full health again. Hallelujah!
This was my "signature tune" when I was organist,some 45 years ago,in a church which possessed a wonderful 18th.century organ.This performance raised the hairs on my arms. Thank you.
Há 7 anos fiz um comentário deste espetáculo e hoje, 23/11/2023, reafirmo com todo entusiasmo que foi a melhor performance que já vi. Obrigado e sucesso. BRASIL
Beautifully played. Love your style and of course the Ruffatti Organ you are playing. Great registration and dynamics. From one Organist to another "Bravo Maestro". God Bless you for sharing your wonderful talent.
Of all the trumpet tunes I have heard this one is still my favorite! I enjoyed all the extra ornamentation in this performance. I don't think all of it worked 100%, but it is so wonderful to hear someone really having fun with this joyful work! BRAVO!
It is so sad that this type of music like old precious hymns are not played so ofted as one would like to hear. The modern type of music is not really music anymore, just load sounds with no hamony. Lets keep this quality of music going!!!
Yes it sure is a great organ and its organist is very good indeed, I must say the coloured stained windows in the back ground look amazing! Thank you for very much for giving us all the change to watch you play that organ, and all the best from NZ.
This is my favourite piece of music - ever - and all my children hate it. So I've left instructions in my Will that they have to play it at my funeral or they will inherit nothing ha ha ha. This is an exceptionally good rendition. Thank you Mr. Organist.
My brother played this (exceptionally well I might add) for another sibling's wedding recessional. I fell in love with it. Maybe I will request it for my funeral too! I love your sense of humor (and hope you are still around to read this!)
Finally found out you're Monty Bennett. Keep your musical ministry going. \It's very, very important. It's often more emotive than a weak sermon. You don't need me to tell you that. I'm our church organist and choir mistress and we really try to get the Christian message across, as indeed we should. You're a much better organist than I (not difficult|) but the Holy Spirit assists me. Praise the Lord!
In the Stanley, it is basically all pipe, except the soft 32' pedal stops. In Amazing Grace, the softest celestes (Flute Celeste, Gemshorn Celeste) and solo stops, like the English Horn are digital, as are the tibias.
A few scottish universitues use this for the processions of the chancellor and the court and senate, My university used it and it at paisley Abbey and it was so graceful
Stumbled upon this clip by a complete accident, however it was the best accident I've had in a while. Great playing, and a terrific pipe organ. Look forward to future posts!
Ein sehr schönes Stück finde ich. Vor allem Dingen schön gewaltig auf der großen 5 manualigen Orgel. Der Orgnist interpretiert bzw. spielt es sehr schön!
This is the tune used for the wedding of Matthew and Lady Mary in the series Downton Abbey. I wasn't sure who it was by but now I know. Makes a nice change from the possibly overworked Purcell Trumpet Voluntary. And the Stanley piece so well played here. Thank you.
We used the at wedding for the seating of the mothers (I walked my own mother down the aisle) and Prince of Denmark/Trumpet Voluntary for the bride's processional and Beethoven's 9th/Ode for the recessional. Beautiful music enhances all type of services - joyous and sad occasions or weekly services. Great job Motty Bennett.
Beautifully played on a magnificent sounding organ. Thank you for posting and sharing your awesome talent Mr. Bennett. I await your next posting with great anticipation. Best Regards, Roy
HEY! I am John Stanley reincarnated.For real. Maurice Greene( John Stanley's mentor) in that life reincarnated as Maurice BROWN ( my painting teacher) in this incarnation. Soul groups often come back together over and over.
The photo with the two consoles was taken when the organ was being installed. The smaller console is a Rodgers that was used until the Ruffatti was completed. The pipe organ was not used until it was completely finished. The organ only has one console in its final state.
That is a still picture from when the organ was being installed. We had a Rodgers organ on loan to us and it was located on the floor so we could have an organ to use while the pipe organ was being voiced.
That is a still picture--it is a photofrom when the organ was being installed and we were not yet able to use the pipe organ but we were using the church sanctuary for services. We had a Rodgers organ and the smaller console was placed on the floor to the side.
@bhigdaddymark Doug Marshall and Dave Granz did the audio and video recording, so they would be better equipped to answer the technical questions. I know that Doug used Earthworks mics and that the cameras were HD, but other than that I didn't pay much attention.
Engaging performance and interesting video -- the perfect organ video. Good job! This reminds me of the video I made ages ago with Bill Whitehead (long before his death) where he played a PDQ Bach style version of this. Must go look for it. :) The blind Stanley would surely be pleased with this dignified version.
@bmacz28 No, this is the organ at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC, which I designed. There are no Ruffatti organs in Ft. Myers, I think you might be thinking of Naples, Florida.
To be sure this is my favorite performance of this piece -- a landmark performance! Could you please tell me on which organ, and in which church this is played? Both the church and instrument are inspiringly beautiful -- as is is your performance!
@@rmb10 Thank you! *AWESOME* church, instrument, and *organist* ! Makes me want to take a trip there just to hear a live performance -- got it on my list! Have blessed week! (... and golly -- I guess if I'd read everything at the beginning I would have seen that ! 😐 -- but thanks for your reply).
Well the two consoles varries. Ive had that at some churches Ive been invited to play at. From my exsperiance (forgive my spelling) some churches have two consoles for these reasons: location, the smaller console is closer to the pews. This would allow the organist to return to his seat easier. The other is in a prime location for concerts and the choir. Another is voicing and location. With what ive already mentioned with location, the large organ may be gor concerts and the choir (as it is e
Beautiful imposing church, and marvellous organist's skill....I wish sometimes I played an instrument with such registration: A two-manual Conacher player, here...RESPECT!! Brill tune, superbly well handled. :-)
EXCELLENT job Monty! Would love to know the recording technique applied here, the organ sounded really good! High-end digital recording employed here! Thanks for posting and kind regards.
Finally found this piece! First heard it on vinyl in the '80s arranged for two trumpets and organ (Nothing to top that!). Yet as I remember, composers were listed as Boyce and Greene. Who can verify or correct me on arrangement/composers? Thank you for posting!
He's been pretty busy for last 9 years since when you posted your question he will try to get back to you guessing by either end of this year or sometime in the next year thank you for understanding & your interest in the pipe organ he's playing..
@jvdurante84 This is the Ruffatti organ at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Charlotte, North Carolina. I was the organist there for 10 years. While there, I selected the builder and designed the organ.
This is Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC. The organ is a Ruffatti organ with some digital additions by Marshall & Ogletree. I designed the organ while I was the organist there.
Beautifully played but most intrigued as to what to me appears no foot pedals so are all the long tubes all played via key board, as I say very beautifully played and with gusto
The pedals were being used. He is just a very poised and clean player without all the excessive and exaggerated body movement that is so often seen. It takes a lot of skill to play cleanly and with little body movement.
BRAVO! For the playing, the organ ... Shame though the video recorder used was clamping the volume variations of that great sounding organ. When the various expression pedals were pressed in or out, only the timbre of the sound changes and volume is pegged at a clipped level. That playing and organ is worthy of better recording quality sad to say. (Next time the video camcorder should be set in a manual audio recording mode if possible) :)
+Flavio DESANDRE' Yes. I've got one in my suitcase. I never travel without it, in case I enounter an organist who'll play it for me. You can order it easily from music shops.
No. 85 Merlin because there was no room in the ceiling for 30 ranks of pipes nor was there room in the antiphonal niches for more than two ranks. Can you tell if there are any digital ranks playing?
Dude awsome playing! but i got one question..i notice in one picture in this video that there is a second console near this console your playing on..it may be a dumb question but im just curiouse why theres two?
To me, the Trumpet solo sounds horribly electronic, but seeing the images, I have to suppose it's real pipework. Must be the voicing! A very satisfying performance. Thanks for the upload.
The bright and "tinny" characteristic of the en chamade trumpets is a Ruffatti trademark sound (closest comparison I can think of is the Coral Ridge organ). If you hear it used in different pieces/occasions I think you'll come to appreciate its purity! :)
It's interesting that you say that, because there is no digital used in that recording. The digital stops are mainly soft celestes, percussions, and a few orchestral solo stops.
Well, I bungled it there, didn't I? No offense. [I'm probably just too nostalgic for the sounds of the magnificent Romantic organs of the 19th century and the acoustics of the cathedrals that house them.] Again, nice performance.

Agreed 👍🏿
the chamade has a pleasing and agreeable vowel sound and is articulate; the best rufatti reed so far!
This is comfortable to the ears and the mind due to his splendid performance
Absolutely Astounding! Thank you!

This is probably one of the most triumphant, yet emotional organ pieces I've heard to date. You made me cry...so powerful!
Thanks--I appreciate that!
rmb10 as an organist myself, I relate to these types of pieces. I'm learning the Johnson trumpet tune at present, but will learn this one too!
also...which digital stops did you use

awesome thanks

Probably the best interpretation I've heard! Lovely to hear the boldness of the reeds being brought out.
Very nice, pleasant to one's ears and soul.
I am eager to play it myself! 😃
Great job, great organ, great organist.
Very beatuful song and very big and magnificent organ. You are a very good organist

What is the need to add digital additions to an already large pipe organ. So silly in my honest opinion. Sound effects…
It was supposed to be all pipe but the building design changed and the chambers were greatly reduced in size.
