@grahamtwist I'm so pleased that you're pleased! I heard of this piece a while back and decided at some point I really needed to visit it. I'm so glad I did. It will certainly become a quiet staple in my rep. I received a compliment on the Sunday morning I played this as well, that went something like, That's the most gentle beautiful thing I've heard you play! 😍 And as to a celebratory drink, I'll definitely have one in your absence! 😉 If you ever come to Ontario or Niagara Falls, do reach out!

Thanks Matthijs! And thanks for watching! 🤩

@danielheerschap it wasn't nearly the hardest thing I've played, but it had a few little twists to it that made it fun and interesting!

Enjoy! 🛤🚂🎵🎶🎹

Hi Wayne! Thank you for your kind words! I love this piece! Thanks for composing and congrats on winning this competition as well!!

Thanks for listing Joe!

It's a fav of mine! And thank you!

Thank you for watching and listening! ☺️

​@@jv04jm Thanks very much for your kind reply!

I enjoy your videos and what a beautiful instrument!

​@buttersrow426 Thank you and thanks for watching! 😊

Thanks! I'm not sure what you mean with "blur paraments" though...

Do you mean the dark blue and gold banners (paraments?) hanging from the table and the lectern? If so, this is recorded in Presbyterian church, where blue is a predominant colour (notice the carpet as well). 💙

@@jv04jm I associate Blue more with Advent. I thought Presbyterians follow the Liturgical Calendar. We are in the green season now of Sundays after Pentecost. But to each his own.

@markohearn9978 ahh I see. We don't change these paraments, ever. This local congregations doesn't follow the lectionary too closely either.

They're definitely accessible and quite smooth! :)

Hi Dianne, thanks so much for watching and for your kind words! I actually did end up recording that arrangement and sharing it on my channel shortly thereafter, dedicating it to her memory (watch till the end and check out the description). Here's the link for your convenience: ua-cam.com/video/1fdeTzer1ho/v-deo.htmlsi=h8CfLapN80dpe4DY

Thank you! And thanks for watching too!

Thanks Daniel! 😊

Thanks so much Phil! 😊

Thanks!

Danke! 😇

Living in Canada, playing American music! 😉

@@jv04jm I was under the impression it was Welsh music?

@JoshMcNabb sure... an American composer writing an arrangement on a Welsh hymn tune, played by a Canadian of Dutch descent on an organ built by a Canadian of German heritage in a church of Scottish Presbyterian heritage. 🤩

@@jv04jm That's awesome!! I find tunes originating from Wales have something special about them, including some pretty phenomenal harmonies. Calon Lân, Cwm Rhondda, Rachie, and In Memoriam are notable examples. Keep up the great posts!

You may need to listen a little more closely beginning at 0:42. 😉

Wow! Because YOU couldn't hear the hymn, that somehow makes it an awful rendition by someone else?

One thing I believe has harmed the art of organ playing has been the indifference and arrogance of those close to the instrument. As a music director, I always left the console unlocked and open so children could walt up and touch it, to help them develop an interest. I have been at churches where the church council had to approve anyone even playing the thing. Hey folks! Wake up! It is a musical instrument. Then there are the thousands of non-players who believe they are music critics....

​@@dougretterhear hear!

Thank you Robert! It is indeed! 🤩

Thank you for your kind words and for watching! 😊

Thanks so much! It was also when I had time and lots of energy! ;)

@@jv04jm top dankuwel!

Dankjewel! 😄

Thank you kindly!

Thanks so much James!

😜

So kind of him eh? 😉

Thanks James! ☺️

Thank you kindly Robert. This fanfare is especially effective and one of my Paul Fey faves!! 🤩

My pleasure!!

Thank you! 😊

It sometimes can be... depending on how well tuned the mixture is how high up the keyboard. It does have some neo baroque tendencies which seem to align which don't always perfectly suit this more romantic type of music.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching! 😊 I found this piece in the collection "Seven Hymn Voluntaries" published by Theodore Presser Company, 1965.

I appreciate the info! Sadly I've waited until the last minute to find something - and I was hoping it was available digitally. So maybe next year! Thanks for your reply!

Maybe if I listen enough over the next 24 hrs I can pick up a few bars haha!

@@kimgeer2253 🤣

🥳

Better late than never James! 😉 And thanks for your generous endorsement! 😊

Thanks for your kind words. I love it too! ❤

Thanks Phil! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Aww thank you! And thanks for watching! 😊

Thank you Phil! I'm glad you approve! It made its debut performance in Niagara-on-the-Lake on a Sunday morning some weeks ago as the postlude after a sermon on the Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon. 🎶🎵🫅🤴

Thank you for watching! 😊

Thank you kindly! 😊 It is indeed a beautiful little piece.
