A beautiful rendition on the queen of instruments. Her Majesty was the gold standard of sovereigns, and her successors will have a difficult time measuring up.
Certainly a version with a few adjustments. The boardwalk instrument sounding magnificent. A great achievement by dedicated enthusiasts and volunteers.
Superb rendition! I could "hear" the 64' with my headphones. The tune is used for "America" (My Country 'Tis of Thee), but I love the Queen, too. A British subject who was a member of my church passed away about 20 years ago and I played this tune as his casket was recessed out of the sanctuary. His British family and friends thanked me for the honor, and the rest of the congregation may have thought he was an American patriot; in any case everyone stood at solemn attention. Two birds, one stone.
The tune used is known as “America” in the United States and “National Anthem” in the UK. The words “My Country Tis of Thee” and “God Save the King/Queen”came after the tune. The tune dates from as 1619 or earlier in England. It was published in current form in 1744 in London. It’s hardly an American tune. Several countries have used it for royal anthems - Norway still uses it. It’s the de facto anthem of the UK (but has no legal standing).
@@virilitas The earliest nationalistic version of it I know of is something like "Long live the Kaiser" (German, though it predates Germany as we know it now). At present I know of at least Britain and Liechtenstein (!) use it, and now you tell me Norway too - I think there are others as well.
God save our gracious king, Long live our noble king, God save the king: Send his victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the king. O Lord our God arise, Scatter his enemies, And make them fall: Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix: God save us all. Thy choicest gifts in store, On his be pleased to pour; Long may he reign: May he defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the king!
you did an excellent job. I won't forget where I started from and how people ignored me but today I am in great demand. keep on playing my friend........ I will subscribe and share
Nice to hear and nice to see this amazing instrument is playing more and more! I wonder how far the restoration has gone and how many of the 33,000 plus pipes are available to the lucky organist?.
A little over 50% of the organ is operational when I played it. The full great, swell, Choir, solo, and pedal were almost fully functional, and string 1 was also functional. The big gallery reeds were also functional but not the gallery divisions. 8 of the 32’ stops were working. The contra trombone and contra violone weren’t but the 64’ was also functional! And it was amazing!! The 16’ Grand Ophicleide and the 50” Major Posaune weren’t functioning sadly. But they’ll be back soon! I’m also heading back up to the organ this summer so I’m gonna play it again when I get there!
@@mathewmatics160 looks like when you get there, you'll have a bunch more pipes available. The left/forward, choir, should be full up, the left chamber 50"s will be back next month or so with the rebuilt blower, the 100"s should also all be up by then. Oh, and the big chest at the top of the right chamber, don't remember the stop, should also be up. Lots to looks forward to indeed.
I second Joe on this one; Wonderful Playing. This anthem was also used as the Prussian National Anthem in 1795. It was then reused as the Imperial German Anthem of a unified Germany in 1871 which was used until 1918 under the name "Heil dir im Siegerkranz." Although it was used as the Official Anthem, it was not widely accepted by the German states; most Notably Bavaria and Wurtemburg did not officially accept the anthem. This song was discontinued after the abolition of the German Monarchy and Aristocracy following the Great War and replaced with the "Deutcheslandlied" or German Song which is the official anthem of Germany to this day; based on a tune of Franz Joseph Haydn which originally was composed as a Birthday Anthem to the Hapsburg Emperor of Francis II and later as the Austrian National Anthem until 1918. Interestingly today only the Third and Final Stanza of the German rendition of the song is used as the official anthem of Germany. During the years of the Wiemar republic, all three stanzas were used until Hitler gained power. After that, only the first stanza was used followed by the Nazi Party Anthem called the "Horst Wessel Lied." After the War, East Germany Adopted "Auferstanden aus Ruinen" or Risen from the Ruins wishing for a united Germany under Communist rule (Though the lyrics of that song were altered to omit the language after it became clear that it wasn't going to happen) while West Germany Continued using the Same Wiemar Era Anthem after much debate for years after World War II. Due to the association of the first stanza with the Nazi Party, it was decided that only the third stanza was acceptable to be retained. While there is no express legal ban on the first and second stanzas, It is considered Taboo in Germany to sing those stanzas in public.
God Save Our Gracious Queen…, Long Live Our Noble Queen…, God Save The Queen! … Send Her Victorious! Happy And Glorious! Long To Reign Over Us…; God Save The Queen!
You are right. England has no official anthem. It is not a sovereign state so there is no imperative to have one. The United Kingdom does not have an official anthem either, at least not one mandated by law. "God save the King" has been used by custom on national occasions and events since the mid-1740s, ahead of any other country, not least because the evidence points to it being an English tune of the early 17th century to words in support of the Stuart monarchs, James I and II. The British words to go with this tune are also the oldest. All other versions came later, including the French and Prussian ones. Beethoven uses the tune to represent the British in "Wellington's Victory" written to depict the Battle of Victoria in 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars, in full knowledge that his audience would recognise this as a British tune and would not mistake it for one signifying Prussia, France, Denmark or even the USA. I have a feeling that the Union Flag of the UK is also not "official" and the UK is the only country in the world not to put its name on its postage stamps: it didn't need to as postage stamps were invented in the UK when no one else had them.
I’ll be brutally honest… I once told a friend of mine a song i ABSOLUTELY DESPISE being “What it is” Nobody ever agreed with me… But once they told me they agreed with my opinion and said it was hot garbage… Let me Tell You… I have never felt so happy and enlightened in my life before… And this was the song that was playing in my head! My Soul Got So Enlightened That Once Again I HAD MY FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED! 😭
Yes it's also My Country Tis of Thee aka America same tune but different words, it kinda reminds me of 3 Nursery Rhymes that have the same tune but different words so that if you know one you'll know the other ones too
Nicely done! God Save the King/Queen is also the official Royal Anthem of the Commonwealth Realms like here in Canada where we have our own unique 3rd verse: "Our Loved Dominion bless with peace and happiness from shore to shore. And let our Empire be loyal, united, free; true to herself and thee, forevermore!"
Through death that is… But perhaps hopefully god has made a Wondrously Grand And Royal Monarchy just like Britain but better waiting for her to rule over in heaven!
@@mathewmatics160 Interesting to know.It was Richard Elzasser who made that Gloucester organ,I mentioned famous. Anyhow...such organs must stand in spacious rooms for acoustical reasons.
Wanamaker is 6/463 with 28,750 pipes. This is boardwalk hall with 7/449, but 33,114 pipes, so because there are more sound producing mediums, (The pipes), Boardwalk hall is the largest organ in the world and musical instrument in the world.
Well played. Here I grabbed the lyrics for ya'll. My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From ev'ry mountainside Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills, Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our fathers' God to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might, Great God our King!
Not a bad rendition here, although he really shouldn't be looking at his foot board at all while playing. Further, it drags a bit, and that takes away from the presentation. More practice is needed.
@@Michael_VG Not usually, although my organist when I was singing in a well known church choir would never look at his pedal board, and he directed with his head. That way, we were all focused on him, not on our scores or each other.
It is the world's largest. Wanamaker has the world's largest functional pipe organ with 28,750 pipes, but this is technically larger, with 33,114 pipes.
@@mathewmatics160 nope it isen the largest organ is in coepnahegn and the number 2 is that , i know because i had been in the danish organ chruch to see it, and i am from malmö
