Wonderful ! Thank you very much 😀

Hey! Just beautiful! 😍 Is there a way to get the music sheets?

Virtual organs can be so well done as to be nearly indistinguishable by experts and well beyond the capacity of most listeners. The major improvements going forward are in speakers and the shaping of the acoustic environment. I have listened to and played electronic , digital and pipes in a variety of settings for decades so my opinion is far from a casual one. Pipes are an endangered species due to maintenance issues and costs that are becoming increasingly difficult to support. That said, I love Pipes but they dwell in the real world as do we all and steadily over time locations with pipe organs have diminished in number. It is a lamentable fact that many pipe organs (Theatre in particular) have spent more time in warehouses than installed and played. It is difficult to argue over the acoustics of silence because then you literally can’t hear the difference between a playing instrument and one that is out of commission - there are too many “parked” pipes.

o- oh my god---- my legs and ears are actually shaking right now

I’m just not convinced by the sound of Allen organs. I have degrees in music in organ and voice, and Allen always sounds algorithmic and 2-dimensional to me. I’m not opposed at all to digital organs. Now, as you say, and my organ professors always said- The room is the most important stop. You’re playing in a great room, and that Allen sounds much better because of it. It’s obviously a good installation. The best digital organs IMO are Phoenix from Peterborough, CA, and Walker (great, insanely expensive). We have a 6 year old Allen at the organ where I am full-time that my predecessor chose, and it’s an unfortunate installation. But to me, you can never beat a real pipe organ as far as sound. Great video!

Nerd bravo.

The famous french overture. It was the processional at my wedding. Perhaps one way to tell it’s two musicians getting married lol.

Looks like a Protégé L-321. We have one at the Bethel Methodist Church on Anguilla in the Caribbean, but I don't think it's set up very well because it definitely doesnt sound like this. The acoustic of this church in the video is very good. Thanks for the video 👍🏾

That's really nice, Titus!!!!

Just comment Titus, but the recording seems to lack bass - otherwise very well played :)

Thanks for your fine performance on this wonderful 'Hill'. I really appreciated the clarity of your performance. Only yesterday I was reading about the case-maker in the latest OHTA News.

I would suggest showing the full organ casing earlier than 5 minutes. A stunning instrument. Thank you for the music again:

Thank you for sharing these TH videos Titus!

Bach sounds wonderful on this magnificent Hill Organ: bravo, Titus great articulation!

Wow, that's amazing playing, Titus! Also, I'm utterly fascinated by how you operate the organ by seeing everything in the close-ups. The concept of coupling the keyboards is completely new to me. Is the coupling an exact mirror only? Can you couple it so that another keyboard plays whole triads? Can the slave keyboard be a third up or a third down? Can you couple all the keyboards to each other? I'm so curious to know more about this, Titus!😆😆😆 Was the audio going into the mic in view, or was that for you to announce or both? How did you do the audio? It looks like 3 cameras and some extreme editing, LOL.🤣🤣🤣. Very well done, indeed.

wonderful!

Read about you in the news. Congrats. If you want to build interest in the organ. Write some orignal songs and get a beat behind it. 😁😁

Hi Titus - can you help us understand why you are so convinced the new 12.9" iPad Air will support face gesture page turning in forScore? My understanding from forScore is that this feature (only accessible on forScore Pro) requires a true depth front facing camera - and one of the key differences between the new iPad Pro and iPad Air is that the former does have a true depth front facing camera whilst the latter does not. (Hence facial recognition possible on the Pro, whereas its touch recognition on the Air). This is really key for a lot of us who would really value this feature on a 12.9' screen - but cannot justify the iPad Pro price - whereas if it really is going to work on an iPad Air there is at last a more cost effective option. Please clarify!! Many thanks Chris

Hi Titus, I am a new organist and am enjoying your videos very much. Thank you for your instruction on practicing. I play primarily prelude music and am always interested in new ideas to keep it fresh. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. My main concern right now is gaining confidence with the pedaling. I am still looking down a lot. Any help you can give me would be appreciated! Thank you--

I'm of an age where I really like large text. If I pinch and zoom to see my music better, does forScore adjust the music to another page? Or do I need to enlarge the music before scanning? This was a great instruction on how to use the iPad for music. Thank you!

The report of the week?!

Very useful advice. I’ve tried using my seventh generation iPad with scanned scores but it’s too small to read. The larger screen Pros are far too expensive for only using for music. The prices here in Canada are similar to yours in Australia. Now that I know what to look for it sounds like a refurbished M1 or better would be adequate. Thanks for your insight and research.

The controversial question is, screen protector or no protector? 🤣

How do you get the sheet music on to the device? Is special software required?

Hi Titus, thanks for the revised video. I’ve ordered an iPad Air, and it should arrive next week. I don’t know how the new Landscape front camera will go - if it will be low enough when viewing in portrait. Let’s see.

Thank you for your help! I have been looking for suggestions to help me during my practice time.

Well done!!👍👍

❤

I’m very interested to learn the organ.

Eccellente!

This is an amazing performance! Beautiful videography as well, the camera placement/angles you've chosen are perfect to see the way you manage what must be a challenging console to play at without modern playing aids! Looking forward to seeing more!

Beautiful playing. Thanks, Titus.

SPLENDID! A fabulous performance, Titus. Your console management is just awesome and your registration choices on the magnificent Hill Organ are perfectly matched to the colours demanded by Vivaldi's masterpiece. It's worth remembering that The Four Seasons was a phenomenally innovative and creative piece of work in the 1720s, being so dynamic and so full of amazing images. And doesn't it still feel very contemporary three hundred years later? It's almost a kind of jump-cut aesthetic - all those extreme leaps between different kinds of material. Instrumental music as literally programmatic as The Four Seasons was rare in the 18th century. This concerto was based on a set of Italian sonnets, possibly written by Vivaldi himself. I love the way how he indicates in the score which line or phrase of the poem is being illustrated and how performers get to use their imaginations as they interpret what Vivaldi imagined in his head when he wrote instructions such as to play “like a sleeping goatherd” or to imagine “a barking dog”! Great fun and a wonderful transcription. B R A V O !

I was there. Great to see something from you here again.

Well done taming THE BEAST. She is a huge monster and needs a firm hand. Mike in Oz
