      Thank you very much for finally making your recordings available to purchase! TH-cam audio is, well, not the greatest, and I have been waiting for this for quite some time.
      Also, I love the registrations on O Come, O Come Emmanuel - so many people play don't think when registering it and it can sound quite 'generic'.

    This is absolutely lovely! Calming. As one church musician to another, this is such a hectic and stressful time matched only by Easter/Holy Week. Remember to rest, destress and get plenty of water, sleep and good food. No quick tide-me-over snacks. Stay well and let's go God's Music Team! Merry Christmas to All and a Very Happy and Blessed New Year!!!!

    Thank you Richard for this. So special to remember all the good memories of Christmas and all the good times. This will be the 2nd Christmas without my Dad.
    I can still remember all the Christmases that I had with him. We also used to do a Christmas Carol Afternoon before Covid struck but have not done one since.
    I do miss our Christmas Carol afternoon which we used to have with my Dad conducting everyone and my Mom playing on the organ. 😢
    So nice to hear you playing with such warmth and feeling. Thank you again Richard. 🇿🇦🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    @beyersorganloft 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The organ there at Blackburn speaks quite clearly, even in that very reverberant acoustical setting. I really enjoy the “silvery” tones it is able to produce. The overall dynamic range and scope of colors are impressive. The sample set for this organ is outstanding. This is a very enjoyable recording!👍

    Your arrangement of the 9th-century modal Advent hymn "Veni, Veni, Emmanuel" is the most glorious that I have heard. I can't get enought of it! The final stanza, in which you pull out increasing numbers of stops while keeping full control of the manuals is impressive. I can see how the music moves you, as in that last stanza you cannot help but let out with a big smile as the organ swells. Your Bach shows the same great love of what you are doing.

    Just FYI concerning the High Plains of West Texas:
    In the latter sense, the High Plains may be said to cover the northernmost Panhandle of Texas, northeastern New Mexico, eastern Colorado, and westernmost Kansas. The High Plains are generally flat grassland, drained eastward by the Platte, Arkansas, and Canadian rivers. Love your music. Peaceful. Joyful. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Richard, for this lovely compilation of not only the well-known carols but also Advent hymns. The organ sound astounding through a pair of headphones: it is loud, ecxiting, and perfect for Christmas... ;) I cannot wait to see what BiS has in store for us for the remainder of the year until Christmas!

    Happy Christmas everyone! Apologies for the incorrect subtitles for the hymn 'On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's cry'. Here are the correct words:
    1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
    announces that the Lord is nigh.
    Awake and harken, for he brings
    glad tidings of the King of kings!
    2 Then cleansed be every life from sin:
    make straight the way for God within,
    and let us all our hearts prepare
    for Christ to come and enter there.
    3 We hail you as our Savior, Lord,
    our refuge and our great reward.
    Without your grace we waste away
    like flowers that wither and decay.
    4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,
    and make us rise to fall no more.
    O let your face upon us shine
    and fill the world with love divine.
    5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
    whose advent has our freedom won,
    whom with the Father we adore,
    and Holy Spirit, evermore.

    • @tj29892
      @tj29892 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Wonderful playing, Richard! One other (very common) mistake in the subtitles in "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing":
      You have it listed as "hail the SON of righteousness"...when it should be "SUN" (which is the word that Charles Wesley used, from Malachi 4:2).

    Advent this year is relatively shorter compared to recent years. Recent years it began the last weekend in November whereas this year it's not starting till the 4th of December. Only 3 Sundays of Advent and what technically is the 4th Sunday of Advent is overlooked as it falls and ends on Christmas Eve. Doubt there be any mass to mark it as most churches and people are obviously gonna go to midnight mass
