O thou who camest from above (Hereford) Hymn and Improvisation (2008)

Recorded at the Sunday morning Eucharist at Hereford in October 2008: the final hymn, to the tune Hereford (by S.S. Wesley) with the post-Eucharist improvisation

Love this - when you get the tempo and sound right, this hymn has passion, style and verve. Best I’ve heard it.

Sounds great

I can’t stop listening to this! Everything about it is perfect. I am sure that SS Wesley is in heaven and nodding and smiling with approval.

God bless you Peter Dyke, this was simply a marvel of organ playing and it's a cracking hymn to start with - your work has extended its brilliance for me.

*That* must have fired them out of the building!
I don't see the 'worship band' having the same effect.
Thanks for the upload.

A worship band wouldn't have to fire me out the building, i'd be gone way before that!

[@nevillerichards676]

Have you ever considered writing it down?

[@rowanlidbury]

Is this you..? It doesn't say.

It is (well, a younger version)

@@peterdyke5399 I have to confess to not being a huge fan of organ music, but your improvisation is wonderful

[@peterdyke5399]

@@pippajones2920 Thank you! It was fun to work with such a great tune (thank you, S.S. Wesley) and on such a great instrument (thank you, Father Willis).

Nothing quite like a good English pedal reed to shift some air.
