When I survey the wondrous cross
Some say, the most important and perfect English Hymn. Here's the story of why it is considered so.
I do need to apologize for slight distortion on the sound in my speech. Microphone levels were just a tad high. Will fix it for next time.
A big thank you to all who have subscribed to this channel.

Man of Sorrows

A wee testimony of my love for this very simple but moving hymn. From one of the most under appreciated hymn writers of the 19th Century - a man who lost his life way too early, but who had significant influence on American Hymnody. Philip Bliss's great hymn "Man of Sorrows - what a Name for the Son of God who came." Enjoy.

The Ascension of Christ fulfilled the apocalyptic prophecy that Jesus proclaimed to the High Priest. - That claim turned the religious Jews against him and He was crucified as a blasphemer. Yet coming on the clouds and seated at the right hand of power, Our Jesus reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords. This hymn of Christopher Wordsworth does this glorious truth more justice than any other I...

    With great sadness I have discovered that Ralph Cullen, Organist, who played so many of our great hymns , passed to be with his Maker in June this year. He will be forever remembered as a talented musician bringing glory to his God and enjoyment and blessing to many who appreciated his organ recitals.

    Nothing like a great organ sound and good singing BUT why the rallentandos! The pace got slower throughout. No-one was ready for the repeat. After watching this once jump back to hear it again and you will hear what I mean.

    @clivesawers8270 Рік тому

    One more thing I have just noticed: you’re playing this in Aflat! It will be too high for most congregations to sing. Most organists play it in G; I use F as I prefer to avoid anything above D or Eflat. But it’s a great sound and you should be in front of a congregation.

    • @Londonfogey

  • @clivesawers8270
    @clivesawers8270 Рік тому

    It’s tough playing hymns for a congregation to sing with, and I openly admit to my own mistakes not being a professional or formally trained. You’re nearly there, but note my earlier comment about the timing error in V1. Also I tend to trip this along as if the time signature was 6 over 8. The big rallentando at the end is probably too drawn out; and are you timing carefully between verses? I fear not so there will always be a delay in starting each verse, because the music is fragmented and no congregation would be able to get the sense of timing. Count the value of the last chord and the value of the silence making them up to 6, i.e. 1 2 3 1 off and ... Good luck!
