I am a retired Lutheran church organist.....originally from NJ....I so appreciate this great instrument....last I knew GORDON TURK was the very talented organist....thanks for posting
Gordon is the BEST!!! He celebrated 50 years at the organ last summer. This is an old recording. The organ has been greatly enlarged and two years ago over 4,000 pipes were sent to OH for restoration and new wind chests. Then the space directly behind the choir loft was reorganized and new infrastructure built. Over 13,000 pipes now and never sounded better. It’s my favorite place to be. Please check out many more of my videos.
What a place and what an organ. I sang in this place many years ago as a young boy. Clarence Dickerson was the organist. After I sang he played little David play on your harp.
GLORY BE TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST FOREVER AND EVER...HAIL JESUS!!!!!!! CELEBRATE JESUS EVERY DAY AND FOREVER MORE...HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, O MY LORD AND MY GOD, AND MY SAVIOR, AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, AND MY ONE AND ONLY DARLING, AND MY DEAREST, AND MY SWEETHEART, AND MY BEST FRIEND, AND MY SONG, AND MY SALVATION, AND MY EVERYTHING LORD JESUS CHRIST✝️ I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU FIRST LOVED ME. 1 JOHN 4:19. THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR LOVING ME, THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR SAVING ME, HAIL JESUS✝️JESUS REIGNS FOREVER MORE...HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! AMEN. REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. REPENT OR PERISH.
My favorite place. The recording is nothing like being there. The power is beyond words. It’s over 13,000 pipes and being enlarged again before June. Go look at my other videos where Gordon explains.
Sometimes, I think Praise Bands attempt to replicate this thinking it's cool. Unfortunately, it does not work so well. Especially, this instrument! Always believe that there is a certain point of reverence and music that you can hear, & a bar does not really qualitatively/quantitatively replicate Praise to the Lord. Guess I am a fuddy duddy and pleased to be one. The Ocean Grove instrument under Mr. Turk has always provided stirring of the soul.
@@stwbill From someone who was brought up Anglican and doesn't MIND praise bands- it is agreed there is indeed no comparison- the organ is in a class all of its own- no other instrument can give such rise and majesty to such a hymn and many others- even "A mighty fortress is our God." It's a rare experience I've seen for a praise band with drums, guitars and all play WITH a pipe organ. That alone is the best combination of a worship band. Though it wouldn't take much for the pipe organ to take over. 😁
Lol. I blew up a set of vintage 150 w. I was playing hark the herald angels sing. They couldn’t handle the last verse. Sounded like a car backfire in the living room. My ears rang for some time after lol.
Can’t wait to hear the organ in July. Just completed reorganization of over 4,000 pipes directly behind the choir loft and expansion. All new wind chests.
I just hope funds become available to restore the Convention hall organs. Last I heard they are pretty much unplayable. So glad the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting takes care of their organ. Got to my my favorite! You should read this guys comment on my other video "O God Our Help In Ages Past" Couldn't believe it!
For the entire first half I was scratching my head thinking I don’t recall this piece being Crown Him with Many Crowns. I didn’t recognize the intro but yes, I certainly know the actual lyrics. Beautiful hymn.
Jersey Shore don't play games with organs! There is this Ocean Grove instrument and, the Boardwalk Hall Instruments at Atlantic City. Let's pray for no tsunamis for Jersey!
Feel sad that in our Church, St James Church, Kolkata there was a three manual pipe organ. We had a gifted organist, late Alan Ambett. After his death there were nobody really to take up the baton. Gradually the magnificent instrument deteriorated and now is totally non functional.
The original organ was like 15 ranks I believe. The rest was planned and enlarged over the years. I read somewhere that they were adding to it again this past summer. I have not heard any more about it. Last count 10,823 pipes, that was after the echo division was added.

Have loved pipe organ all my life. Thank you for sharing this presentation! It’s so beautiful ❤
Religions one contribution to mankind - soul stirring music written to be performed on majestic instruments.
one contribution? Have you read the entire Bible thru?
In Christ there is no east nor west....so true hallelujah!
Oh wnderful place in my heart!😊❤🎵

How sweet the name of Jesus sound, in a believers ear, it's smooths his sorrows, heal his wound, and drives away its fears.
Ain't much good without the words,Praise God
I find the music much more moving than the lyrics, especially when performed on a massive organ.
That's good to hear efforts are being made!!! Thanks for the update!
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds.
Amen!
Many thanks muito obrigado...

Beautiful sound....
Such a peaceful and meditative piece early on. I miss summer Sunday evenings worshipping in the Great Auditorium.
In Christ there is no East or West. The auditorium is my favorite place to be!!!
Tremendous Room... Tremendous Organ.!!

At anytime, this majestic organ can drown out the combined voices of over 4000 worshipers. It can and literally has caused the floor to vibrate.
It holds around 6,500. I get chills just thinking about it. My favorite place ever!

After listening to this with great satisfaction- the cones of the main speakers in the sound system now crackle a little more. Enough said.... :D 😁

It’s “in Christ there is no east or west”

Beuatifull. May I use the music for an amateur documentary about an artist, that made christian art for churches?
The first piece played is" How sweet the name of Jesus sounds"
In Christ there is no east or west.

I could be the organist
This sounds a bit conventional to be a Hope-Jones instrument, which tended to defy all conventional wisdom about organ building.
The original organ was like 15 ranks I believe. The rest was planned and enlarged over the years. I read somewhere that they were adding to it again this past summer. I have not heard any more about it. Last count 10,823 pipes, that was after the echo division was added.
Nothing like Crown Him with many Crowns initially. An organist showing off. A beautiful hymn ruined.
What’s the point in having one of the largest organs in the world and not using it to its fullness? Trust me, it was played to the Glory of God!!!
