Dr. Alfred E. Cresci - Music & Liturgy Videos
Приєднався 13 бер 2022
Hi! I'm happy I created this channel on UA-cam that contains a montage of sights and sounds over my 50-year career as an organist, choir director, and vocalist. Half a century later, and I am still in awe of organ and choral music, and liturgies. I've worked hard over the years and always put 100% effort in all my projects. I hope all who browse this channel, enjoy what is seen and heard as much as I enjoyed creating it! Thank you!!
Gloria (Glory To God)
Gloria written by Michael Greene, AAGO in 1970 and revised by Dr. Alfred Cresci in 2017.

Funeral Mass with Organ, Cello, Violin, and Harp - January 7, 2025
Переглядів 51День тому
I don't usually post funeral masses, but this one was particularly inspiring! Along with organ, we had cello, violin, and harp! It was beautiful how we all melded together! This was the first time I played organ with a harpist in 15 years; the last being at Holy Innocents for our centennial celebration back in January 2010! Of course, I requested their contact information before they packed up ...
All Saints Day Vespers at the Vatican, Including my Postlude!

I was given the opportunity to realize a lifelong, career-long dream! Thanks to my friend colleague, Dr. Jennifer Pascual, the Director of Music at St. Patrick's Cathedral, I was introduced to Maestro Josep Sole Coll. Josep is the Principal Organist at St. Peter's Basilica, the worship home of the Catholic Church! In other words, he is the Pope's organist! He invited me to play the postude of t...

Buxtehude - Prelude in C Major - BuxWV 137a

The Buxtehude prelude at top speed with the newly-acquired 8’ Spanish Trumpet within the Allen Expander II module. This stop reminds me of the Triphorian at St. Patrick's Cathedral that I had the pleasure to use a couple of years ago.
"Fly Away" - an original organ composition
Переглядів 455 місяців тому
My latest composition…. I didn’t know what to title it, but the beginning reminded me of birds flying in the air, so I am naming it, “Fly Away.” A nice postlude as our congregants depart the church en route to their other activities this weekend!
Our Lady of Pity Church - Staten Island, NY (July 30, 2024)
Переглядів 795 місяців тому
I decided to record some music today at church: 1) "Elegy" by Gordon Young from his "11 Organ Selections for Church and Recital" I can't seem to get this piece out of my head. I played it today for the first time before a funeral. I love it! 2) "Prelude in C-Major" by Diederich Buxtehude (BuxWV 137a) This is an old favorite of mine. I've been at Our Lady of Pity for nearly two years, and I have...
