I have never heard this piece, but I _have_ heard the P.D.Q. Bach cantata "Wachet arf" or "Sleeping dogs, wake!" (S. K9). So I thought I would give this one a listen to see if it's as good. Update: While the "arf" is more stylistically varied, the "auf" tends to stay in its musical lane. I appreciated the organist using the tinkly tinkles on the last verse. Maybe next time they can rent a circus calliope or, better yet, a panharmonicon. Really put those clanging cymbals to work.
If you want more information about those tinkled chimes it can either be a stop or the buttons on the pedalboard depending on the organ (i forgot what those were called😅) the stop is called zimbel stern and the stop is at my church that I play at so it would be used for like Christmas advent or Easter (if it’s the appropriate song of course)
Can you not hear them? 1. The mics are considerably closer to the organ than the bulk of the congregation. Even when using the nave division the organ sounds distant in the rear of the nave. The organists register for the person at the very back. 2. Accordingly, the quieter the organ, the quieter the people sing.
I listened from the back of the nave this morning. Full organ at the back is not loud at all. This is why the organists use full registration on hymns.

A masterpiece of congregational and choir hymn singing. Outstanding organ leading the hymn. A triumph of worship.
Rousing, jubilant. Aeolian-Skinner! ❤What great music so under appreciated now 😕
Absolutly genius!!! It is great to listen. Thank you very much for sharing this great Music with us! Greetings from Germany
St Marks is a jewel in Center City, Philadelphia.
So sad that the rector, organist and Michele are no longer here. They are sorely missed!
Such a Spirit filled Church! I hope to visit in there in the new year!
Gorgeous!
At 3:45 you see 2 People enjoying the Sound! Great!
Nice intro to the hymn, the organist takes BWV645 Canata 140 section and uses it as the basis for his intro.

You're good at playing loudly - you're aware that there's a congregation trying to sing?

The organ is majestic, powerful, awesome, a hint of God Himself, AND the congregation is doing an amazing job at singing powerfully too.
There's always "that one" person...🙄
