- NEW CD OUT NOW: ben-maton-musi... Bach composed this wonderful piece for the season of Advent, but it remains one of his most popular works and a favourite for wedding services and funerals.
The hymn tune melody, which appears at 45 seconds (played by an oboe stop), is cleverly interweaved by Bach around the famous opening theme. A gentle pedal bass line accompanies.

Hello Ben
Having been raised in an Anglican Church in S Indian in the 60s your music is very nostalgic and close to my heart,I have watched most of episodes listened to you organ music over the last few months ,your talent ,passion and knowledge is most pleasing to watch. My wife and I are so happy and pleased to support you in your endeavors,we hope to have lunch with you in the future in our next annual visit to the UK from the USA🙏
Excellent. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful music, performed so very well on such a beautiful organ!
I understand that J.S.Bach for you as organist very attractive is. And you play Bach very well. But I like also English composers.I hope you will play them and do nt forget Ben Maton: also an English composer.!thanks Ben . From Amstelveen/Holland.
Gefällt mir!! Ganz großartig!
Ben -- what a perfectly executed playing of this masterpiece by Bach. Your technique and playing are to be highly commended . Thank you for sharing your great talents with others.
Dan- thank you SO much! How wonderful to read this. I’m glad you enjoy my videos :)
Beautiful in every way! Thank you Ben!
so lovely! i think this sounds better as a solo organ piece than in choral form. in my favorites to listen over and over again!
Happy way to start a cold morning! Thanks
This is Very Calming and Peaceful/Relaxing to listen to!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
That oboe sounds beautiful. 😱
Beautiful. Thank you
literal chills
My favorite Advent hymn! So beautiful! Thanks Ben. 😍
Very nice articulation. And the organ has a nice clean sound, more than adequate for this particular piece.
One of my favorites! Beautifully done! ❤ Thanks for your expert rendition!❤
Fabulous, as always!
goed gedaan !
dank je
Just wonderful I’m sure Elvis would have appreciated that
Top class.
Perfectly played! Such a nice sounding organ! Perhaps you could give a tour of the mechanics of the organ like the pipe chamber or blower room. Thanks for another great performance!
Really enjoyed your performance ánd the organ (gorgeous!)
Beautiful! Great job!
Great musicality keep up the good work ,Thank you
I had to laugh. No church youtube video would be complete with out the Zoom in on the stained glass. hahahaha
That was beautiful organ playing. He filmed the whole thing himself.
The window is lovely. It was only a few seconds. Maybe next time he’ll make sure to feature the door to the toilets or something. So it’s not so corny.
It is mandatory. If he didn't do it, it would be like a museum video without the zoom on the art lol
Delightful, and great hair!😀
I sent you my contact information, will you be sending me an email?
