Great tutorial. It just saddens me a bit that Dan Schutte's "hymn" made its way into the fine tradition of English hymnody. Please tell me that you don't have "On Eagle's Wings" as well.
Personally, I very rarely introduce a hymn with the last two lines of the tune, even with a well-known hymn. It doesn't 'tell' the congregation what they need to know, and with a lesser-known tune, can easily cause confusion.
i think what he means is that hes using all the swell stops up to 2 foot pitch (8ft + 4ft + 2ft),it is a weird way of putting it though, does sound like hes talking about coupling
I think "swell to 2-foot" refers to a coupler that connects the great manual to the swell at 2' pitch. So when an 8' note is played on the great, that same note will sound two octaves higher on the swell. Fifteenth is just another name for the interval of two octaves.
@@InventorZahranthere are no 2' couplers, but could be handy!. "15th just means that he is building the chorus from 8" to 2" (including 4"). 2' and 15th are the same (a 2' stop plays the intervals of a 15th or 2 octaves above the 8').
Hi Benedict. This is a Regent 356. 56 speaking stops plus 6 orchestral voice tabs. It plays through 14 external speaker cabinets in this video. Regards David
Quite agree, Benedict; it was a tad sprighlty. Yes, you ideally want all trems, tibia clausas and vox humanas throbbing their hearts out in these 'hymns'. That gets the punters singing, and going home happy!!!! Best wishes, Peter A :) :) :)
So many organists only worry about literature, but exciting and sensitive hymn playing is actually more difficult and more important!

"Here I am Lord"!!!
For the last end of the hymn the 32 ' should come in...

Amazing!! Thanks loads
Gee that Regent 356 sounds good via headphones.
English sound is the best IMO for average-size congregational singing
What hymnal are you using? Love the possibilities of that organ. Beautiful sound.
Do you transpose the final verse up a half-note?
What does swell to 2 or swell to 15th mean? Those are registration terms I have never heard.

The last hymn should be played slower.Its too rushed. And the tremulant should be used.. Other wise fine...

Are you being ironic since it's such a bad hymn? Tremulant for a hymn? Hey, when in Rome, lol.
