Very well played, with all the emotions registered through the music.Praise God. I love this hymn and played it with a tiny choir 2 years ago, during the funeral of my medical teacher,and with a short preceding introduction about the hymn.. Dr Mohan Z Mani.India.
Beautiful! One of my favorite hymns, seldom heard today. The reed organ is still one of the most beautiful instruments on the planet and lends itself very well to sacred music. Thanks for posting and all that you do to keep this great sound alive!
This is Psalter 55 in my hymn book we sing this in church quite often!! this is the first verse - The Lord my shepherd holds me within his tender care, and with his flock he folds me, no want shall find me there. In pastures green he feeds me, with plenty i am blest ;by quiet streams he leads me and makes me safley rest. based on psalm 23
This hymn is new to me. The story of how you came to own this Berlin organ and how it has turned you into a great restorer and someone who shares via TH-cam is amazing. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Bravo Rodney. A truly spectacular Reed Organ is that Berlin and such a great piece you have played. I am so glad to see that you are still making Reed Organ videos. Hope you and your family have all been well. Take care- Craig
As printed in all (?) the hymnbooks we use in Britain, this hymn is very poorly harmonised, so it's good to hear your version, Rodney, which supports the melody better and avoids that "here-we-go-again" effect. All enhanced, as ever, by your imaginative use of the bellows and that magnificent Sub-Bass.
I have tried playing this in the first version with chords that appears (page 488), and need to transpose it as it is very high, but am confused about the key. I thought it was in key C but it contains note E (not E minor) so can't be in the key of C. Could you tell me what key it is in please?
Is it possible you downloaded an orchestral version? It is in the key C, this one is very close the the version that I played: hymnary.org/hymn/LUYH2013/page/531 - it starts and ends on C. Just don't click the "download" advertisements on that page, you can save the image or print the entire page.
Ooooh so nice! I gotta tell you, that reed organ really sucks Ok, you KNEW that compliment was coming, didn't you? I can hear you groaning. (For readers who don't get it, American Reed organs work on a vacuum, they suck air through the reeds)
+clydesight No groans here, just a smile :) It's funny to think about it now because when I looked into this organ for the first time over 7 years ago, I was completely baffled as to why it was sucking the air in. I learned a little about them since then...
Beautiful. This is one of the hymns I chose for my husbands funeral and it brings back so many memories.

+alj mann Thank you!
Very nice!
Very well Rodney
Beautiful!
Well, that's another one I've never heard before. I see that's a very old tune. I love the chord progressions in it.
+RonN448 Thanks Ron! I always thought it was a majestic piece with the way the chords change.
REALLY well done!

+Reece Venable Thank you!

I would love to play this on the keyboard but can only find the melody, not the chords.
There are several different versions at hymnary.org/text/jerusalem_the_golden_with_milk_and_honey , at the bottom of that page. All the best!
Thanks a lot! Will try them.

Thank, that's the one I have printed off and tried. I don't understand why it has chord E in it if its in the key of C.

So did many Pianolas. When we found out as kids we used to connect it up to mums vacum cleaner. You could here it all over the Village!
The uniqueness of these old reed organs are unequaled and your style and musicianship is superb. I enjoy playing my old pump organs every day.
Fantastic!
+Reagan Reese Thanks!
GOD KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING, SO HE SENT THE SPIRIT KNOWN AS JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH TO THE EARTH THAA IT MIGHT BE COMPLETE.
Wow, I stand humbled, and appreciative
Krásné!
