They probably both made each other's day so much. And I almost read "Princess Anna" for a split second there too. That would be cool if she actually were one. ^___^ (Secret royalty in our midst. ^___^)
So how rare would it be to have an organist break in with accompaniment WHILE recording? Fake. And then conveniently runs after the guy but doesn't find him.
My daughter is personally shy but has a powerful soprano voice. She has been known to belt numbers from Phantom or Le Mis from a ski lift and entertain the whole crowd. Artists just aren't like the other children. 😎
My schools lobby is oddly large and very high ceilinged. My choir teacher / drama teacher takes us out there to practice. Especially after school when nobody is there. It’s awesome bro.
I imagine that experiencing the acoustics of the place was on his bucket list. By you keeping the organ's sound so soft; you accompanied him without overpowering nor flustering him. Thank you so much for that awareness and sensitivity. It was a wonderful YT short.
As non religious as I am, I will always stop and listen to Amazing Grace, as it is so moving and powerful. That man’s voice is phenomenal, and carries so well without amplification.
Love good old fashioned organ appreciation. Ive been restoring one for a couple months now and the things ive learned.. all thanks to a facebook free advert.
Wow, you two shared a great moment in time together. There was a physical distance, but mentally you two connected for this moment... How beautiful is that...
This spontaneous reaction brought tears to my eyes ! Them never meeting shows that the human emotion of love is in all of us at all times ! So emotional ! Thank you both !
How beautiful when two souls meet and without ever saying word to each other…connect in such a beautiful way. Thank you Lord for these beautiful gifts.❤
It doesn't take much from the beauty, on the other hand how sure are we this wasn't set up? With the best will in the world, anyone who posts regularly on social media has to have something to post, no? Sorry to be an old cynic, especially this time of year, but I have doubts as to the claimed spontaneity.... Happy Xmas!
@@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311If you're not a fan of the "Christ" in Christmas, might I suggest using "Yule" instead? It's the same season and unlike "Xmas" is an actual thing and sounds a lot better.
Yes! And always checking his timing ❤️. I would feel absolutely touched if this happened to me while singing in a church spontaneously. So very endearing!
Came looking for this comment. Must have felt amazing to walk in start singing and suddenly organ starts playing along to his singing, I would sh*t my pants lmaoooo
@@laceandribbonsviolin somebody have absolute hearing, which means when they hear a frequency, they can say, it is a D sharp for example. Somebody have only relative hearing, they can only "hear" the distance between the two frequencies. My friend is an organist, he must try at least one sound in this situation to jump next time to the right sound for join with the organ to the singer. And I also have only relative hearing :/ I cannot learn, which sound is which.
Oh! That was absolutely Beautiful Ana ...and The Gentleman's voice was heavenly, Bless you for sharing, ...What a wonderful spiritual experience, Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻
@@elgenetiamzon1062 it looks like a cathedral. AND Anna calls it a cathedral in her vid description. I think Anna has enough experience to know when she is in a cathedral.
@@elgenetiamzon1062 it's not uncommon to host musical and theatrical performances in churches, and Salisbury Cathedral does so, but in this case it is absolutely still a consecrated and working cathedral too.
When I was a teenager I had the opportunity to sing in St Peters cathedral in Rome (with my choir), and it was indeed one of my favorite experiences. If an unplanned organ had started in I might have lost my cool
@@ferrous719 I think that happened here. You could hear the hesitation in his voice. I expect that was why she was so cautious to accompany him at his speed, and at a lower volume than normal.
Music knows no border. This reminds me Of a trip I went to in New Orleans. I visited a very grand Cathedral. The organist was practicing the America the Beautiful and I started singing along the melody, then suddenly the tourists started singing along with the organist. We made a spontaneous choir with everybody from all over the place. It brought tears to me.
Fun! Did people make up their own harmony lines? Or maybe they'd performed it before in a choir with multiple voice parts. This happened to me once on a boat near the Statue of Liberty. It was a lot of fun. I was on a trip with my college choir so we went all out on making up harmonies.
As a like minded keyboards player and music academic, that is a demonstration of several phenomenal skills. A) listening to the singer and correctly pitching his voice B) accompanying him without music thus showing you know the tune and C) demonstrating a colossal music skill that has taken huge amount of time to develop that most people do not see. My hat, madam, is truly raised as high as I can reach, but my admiration is in the clouds.
@@THEHERMANATORANDSPURGLE2833 it's possible to feel spiritual without believing there's a god. There's a million religions that all think they're the right one. Yours is no different.
@@chrismofer You're so mistaken. There's only One Church, One Religion, One Baptism, One Lord, but a trillion demons convincing you otherwise and you're being played like a violin. And your pride may keep you blind until it's too late. I pray it doesn't. God bless.
This reminds me so much of my dad. He has a deep rich voice and loves to sing higher ground in random beautiful places. One of my favorite memories is sitting in a parking lot after a reba concert and singing together until all the cars were gone. Music creates beautiful moments.
Reiminds me of one Christmas Eve, 33 years ago. While praying that God, in my absence, would watch over my babies, I began to weep. There was myself, sitting in the next to the last row ,and three women in the front. When from behind, I felt a hand on my right shoulder, and a voice saying, "This is why you're here." With my left hand, I reached to touch his hand, saying, "Thank you." I took a minute to regain composure, turned to wish him Merry Christmas, but as quietly as he had entered, he was gone. By the amazing grace of God, upon my surrender, 29 years after that time, it occurred to me that He had answered my prayers, my children being blessed even before they were concieved. Myself, being born again! Praise the Lord for His amazing grace, whose mercy endures forever! God be with you, sister Lapwood, now and forever. Amen
Simply Wonderful! I never heard the verse the gentleman was singing before, but upon doing research it's BEAUTIFUL. "Must Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free? No, there's a cross for everyone; And there's a cross for me." Having grown up in a Baptist church and still an active member (and born-again believer) I only heard the most common four verses. Reading the full text with the additional verses, it's a true hymn about repentance and Christ's life-changing mercy and grace! And as an amateur organist amd baritone vocalist myself, I gotta commend you for opening the Swell shades in acknowledgement! I would've nigh broke down and cried with joy. Truly tugs on my heartstrings! God Bless, You have one more subscriber added to your compendium.
Music is the true uniting force. Like… I may not know your language, but we can sing together! I have a song in my playlist that is a German song. I don’t know German (yet), but I had it playing at work, and was singing along… in Irish!! A customer looked at me and said, “That’s not the same language!” No, but it is the same song. I don’t know it in English, but I know the Irish!
See I'm not the only person who sings in random church's I visit during my travels. Can't say I've been lucky enough to have a organ playing in the background during any of those visits. 😄
Not only did you keep the organ as a soft background accompaniment. But I noticed how often you adjusted your timing to match him. He was definitely focusing on the emotions and acoustics. 😁🎶👏
I don’t know what language that was. But the song he sand was Amazing Grace. An old Hymn. I don’t believe in all that stuff anymore but damn. This hit me right in the feels and had me humming along.
My grandfather, who was a minister, had a rule, that, whenever the family visited a church, they had to sing a hymn because the church was foremost a place of worship not a tourist site.
I can only imagine the day you made for him. Priceless, Anna.
I read princess and wondered why there was a comma there.
@@Cyan37 Me too, funny
Nah, dude gets that all the time probably. Walks down the street singing, street artists picking it up, he knows no better :-D
@@Cyan37 that work too.
They probably both made each other's day so much.
And I almost read "Princess Anna" for a split second there too.
That would be cool if she actually were one. ^___^
(Secret royalty in our midst. ^___^)
It was wonderful that she didn’t play that wonderful instrument so loud we couldn’t hear him singing. It was nice to be able to appreciate both!
Looking at Anna's position, she's playing on the Solo keyboard.
One hundred percent
Sometimes things are just spontaneously beautiful.
Awesome u both are
And this is one of them!
That's
Spirit
That's Creator
That's Love
Love it
The best way if possible
Praise rhe Lord
That man has a story to tell his grandkids 🥰
What if he's not 75?
He might be gay
@@vvoof2601He will be in the future.........🤔
@@vvoof2601 he likely will be one day.
However, grandparenthood tends to often occur before the 70s, js.
People breaking into musical numbers is rare outside of the movies, but when it happens, it is usually a thousand times as beautiful.
So how rare would it be to have an organist break in with accompaniment WHILE recording? Fake. And then conveniently runs after the guy but doesn't find him.
@Joe Heid she records all the time. Sheesh. Cynical much?
Music is universal, brings people together for all the right reasons 🥰
My daughter is personally shy but has a powerful soprano voice. She has been known to belt numbers from Phantom or Le Mis from a ski lift and entertain the whole crowd.
Artists just aren't like the other children. 😎
Exactly. ☺️ For sure.
As a fellow organist, I can tell you that you likely made his day too by accompanying him. Well done.
As a singer who sings at every available opportunity, this is so validating.
One time, my best friend and I sang an a cappella duet in the high ceilinged stone lobby of the bank when it was closed. 😂
@@Rosie_C yooo that's awesome!!!

Wait actually!
Yea, and an Angel playing too @AnnaLapwoodOrgan
As non religious as I am, I will always stop and listen to Amazing Grace, as it is so moving and powerful. That man’s voice is phenomenal, and carries so well without amplification.
You should find the long story on the life of the man who wrote the song.
Because it was written from a place of hope. I think every human can feel it. Regardless of spiritual beliefs.
Every knee will bow and every tounge will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Acts 2:38

Great comment !!
Obviously not strangers on one level. How about a visiting angel?
You are what I thought musicians were like: gentle, spiritual and in love with their art

You may never meet him..but you have a moment that will last for ever
Bulls eye. You nailed it!

A man who did not need recognition. He sang from his soul which inspired you to play from your heart.

you were his angel that day. i imagine he needed to sing in a church and your accompaniment made him feel heard.
That was not a man. That was an angel of the Lord. He just made my day too. You helped.
Men are better then angels
I’ve just listened to this video on loop about 12 times already, just marvellous!
Same.
There is beauty and wonder in the world.
But there is also Beauty and Wonder.
We all intrinsically know the difference.
So do I. Marvellous
What a sweet incident. Young lady, you're awesome.
You shine when you smile! There is a powerful spirit in this video! Thank you for sharing this special moment
Thanks to all those who continue to keep GOD 'alive.'

My thought was the other way round: he was in tune! Even if you are a singer, you may not be in tune without helping tone. Cool!
She's an instrumentalist. She's familiar with pitches and how to play them.
I think the tourist listened to her and was inspired to sing and then when she heard that she joined in on the second couplet.
