THE WALKER DIGITAL SOUNDS EXCELLENT IN THE SANCTUARY
You Bet!
I wanna hear this song on the organ once it is finished. I know the majority of the 32s in the organ are in the main case behind him and two more located in the balcony organ but I just have to hear how acoustically they sound in the building especially that 32' Montre in the balcony
And, David, I wanted to add that it is great to hear Lauren singing the psalms!
This organist is just plain sick!!!!!!!!!! His style gives me goose bumps. The organ has never, ever sound this awesome. The sound at 11:40 just blows me away. No other sound on earth as beautiful. And the soloist? Sick, also. So much strength, so much emotion. Only critique is that it's only 12 and a half minutes long. I wanna hear more, I wanna hear more! Thank you for sharing this, for sure!
Sick, to this generation, may possibly interpreted the same way as "bad" is to mine, like bad-to-the-bone. If you want to hear more, go to a church that uses a pipe organ, and learn to worship the only, awesome, Almighty God in the holiness of His sanctuary. I did, and it makes all the difference in the world to me.
Superb, very moving, and that's coming from a protestant organist (although I personally have nothing to protest).
Pipe organs are sooo much fun to play!!!
Great video!! Thank you for sharing!
Ah so beautiful. Thank you for that!!!
germromeo, Pipe organs are a lot of fun to play! So much to choose from in the combination action when you select different preset/thumb pistons!
I bet these psalms will sound magnificent on the Rufatti-Skinner organ once tuning is completed!
Absolutely! Very grateful to have this amazing Walker instrument in the meantime, but cannot WAIT for Hazel's triumphant return!
Beautifully composed , performed & moving. I'm so glad that this house of worship has been preserved from the previous occupants of the Crystal Cathedral . Well Done ***
Hi David, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. As a choir singer, I have never appreciated how much thought goes into planning the accompaniment for psalms. I now understand how the important messages embodied in the text can be amplified by the choice of settings for particular verses. As always, it's great to see your enthusiasm and joy in bringing information like this to your viewers. Thank you!! Dick
Extremely beautiful teamwork of both organist and cantor! Both the melody and vocals are just heart-melting.
Three days later and the Psalm 51 is still haunting me. Both the accompanying organ part and the cantor's soprano voice forming the melody are so much burnt into my ears that I can still hear it in my head all day and night. I'm NOT joking when I say that I woke up from that a few times during the last nights. -- This is pure beauty AND power.
Still glued to this...
You know, i never though about playing psalms in this way. I should try playing like this.
quite useful and quite lovely thank you
This is a wonderful & inspiring music ministry, especially appreciated during the virus pandemic. You and the cantor’’s performance are superb. Hope you’re able to make more mini recitals. BTW, the Walker Technical organ sounds really good. Hope the Cathedral’s analog Aeolian-Ruffatti instrument is eventually completed. If the Cathedral was being built new today a large digital organ might be a serious alternative choice over pipes. The digital tonal quality has greatly improved. Wonder if you might mention in a future program details about the Cathedral’s Walker Tecnical installation? Thank you again for sharing, all the best from West Michigan.
Delightful to listen to. Just amazing.
Beautiful!
I love that first hymn
Me too. Plus, if you transpose it from A-maj to C-maj, it's pretty easy to replay by ear.

@@chadbeverly4926 If you're heading for Earth shaker scale C-maj, the final measure of this impro might be for you.

@@WoodymC I'll put in my sleeping play list that I have for organ music
This psalm setting is so beautiful! I’ve tried to start singing along with the cantor.
Thanks, very good. 🙏🙏🙏
Great insight and beautiful music! Loved the “4 combinations” tip. 😄
Brilliant!
The Oregon so beautiful Church
Fantastico!!!!
Hi, David!
I played the organ once at the time when it was still the crystal cathedral, but one question, wasnt the pipe organ a ruffatti?
Nice! What happened to the HUGE organ b/f renovations? The previous organ hand MANY stops; this organ is smaller.
It’s an electronic walker organ that was put in as a temporary instrument while the Rufatti goes through an extensive tuning. It’s all there, and will sound again in good time.
Yes, the last phase of completing the Ruffatti had to be paused because of the pandemic. When it is safe for all involved, the work will continue and Hazel will sound once again!!!!
How I wish to play that Organ, But I don't have a budget to travel in that Cathedral
I hope so😔
I think it will takes more years to visit that cathedral, I haven't yet US visa
Organ beautiful, Piece mawkish...
And that will be catholic liturgical singing!?
Ģeoffrey griffith philadelphia usa former chorister of all saints anglican church in barbados very good amen
I guess you could say David plays well, a good accompanist. The organ sounds good, although it is now 4 manuals and not 5, and obviously nowhere near the size of the Hazel Wright organ. But the most disturbing thing is the room, all that white and black, to me it looks like a modern Scottish Rite Masonic Temple. When Schuler had it, it was so warm, inviting and welcoming. Now it's cheap looking and cold. Actually, the Free Masons would have done a better job.
This is the temporary digital instrument. Covid interrupted tonal finishing. As for the colors in the room, it serves to help control temperature (and thus help with the tuning stability in the organ, though they've already discovered it doesn't eliminate the tuning issues between divisions).
I find the church is better now. It looks more welcoming and nicer. The old church was for tv and looked plain.
and they spent 77 million to make it cold,its still the crystal cathedral to me
If you start a compliment with "I guess" it doesnt come off very convincingly.
I agree. it is now a cold, white, bland box. Why did the sky have to disappear?
Pedal reeds against one voice.... yikes.
Can't say that the cantor partners well with the organ. This Psalm really requires a tenor or baritone male, someone who is surrendering his strength to his Lord. And, in any event, the liturgical chanting of a Psalm should never hint at being a professional musical performance.
"Can't say that the cantor partners well with the organ." Ok, it's your opinion, I respect that, even I could agree whit that. But, the issue here is the reason... A woman can't surrender her strength to the Lord?
Also, you say: "the liturgical chanting of a Psalm should never hint at being a professional musical performance", but you have wrote using professional musical references, about a Psalm. Your message: You can be a professional critic, but if you are the musician you cannot say the same.
Please remember that this is also art and as such, it has dedicated people who are also professionals, creating, composing, producing and performing it.
Thanks.
Her tone is better than the cantor at the LA Cathedral. Stopped watching their livestream because i just couldn't handle that guy's voice.
