How lovely. I hadn't heard this in a while. I played it at my son's funeral many years ago.

Så vackert! Tack för musiken.

Very nice with a big preference at 1:30 !

Mäktig verk, talande!

Just like other places in Dalarna, Älvdalen has 'produced' several beautiful hymn melodies.🎶Despite the singular title, this "Hymn from Älvdalen" actually consists of two melodies: First (and last) a horn tune which eight years after this composition became part of the Swedish hymn book with the words "Pärlor sköna, ängder gröna", and in the middle a hymn from the village Blidberg (which I believe is the same as modern day Blyberg) in the southern part of Älvdalen, which I haven’t been able to find any words to. None of these should of course be confused with the "Gammal fäbodpsalm från Dalarna", more specifically from Åsen in Älvdalen, made famous and beloved through Oskar Lindberg’s setting. Since Älvdalen is just a little over an hour away from where I live, I decided to record it in Älvdalen Church, and - on a side note - I decided last week that I would try to get some atmospheric autumn photos while up there.🍂🍁Instead, summer came back in full glory, and I ended up with bright blue sky and sunshine and an amazing sunset over the river Österdalälven which cuts through the municipality (Älvdalen = River valley in Swedish).🌞🌄Not bad either!

🙏🏽thank you 🌹

Great talent.

Really enjoy who helping me discover new or to me new organ music. Thank you very much Henrik

This year Arnold Schönberg would’ve turned 150 years old, one of the most influential composers in the early 20th century.🎵He’s most famous for creating his twelve-tone technique, but these pieces predates that by 12 years. Schönberg lived in a revolutionary time in music history, where harmony got more and more advanced and its traditional rules gradually dissolved.🌫Several composers felt they had to leave tonality altogether, and the result can be heard here.🎵Schönberg composed his first atonal music already in 1908, in some songs and the 2nd string quartet, but here he not only abandons tonality - they range in length between 25 seconds and 1,5 minutes, extremely far away from the most large-scale and bombastic late-romantic works of the time, and long melodic lines have been substituted for melodic fragments, if any melody at all. He wrote the first five in a rush of inspiration in one day in February 1911, and added the last one, with its shimmering pianissimo chords, after learning about Gustav Mahler’s death in May that same year.🪦Now, I think these little gems should be thought of as a tasting menu - six small dishes with flavour combinations you never would’ve thought of, which should be enjoyed with an open mind.🍤✨They make me think of the opening words from that 2nd string quartet, sung by a soprano: "Ich fühle luft von anderem planeten - I feel air from another planet"…🪐 The portrait in the beginning of the video is a self-portrait from 1910.🎨 As always, don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

I love your registration

Glad to get to know this music and good registration.

Vackert! ❤

Magnifikt 💜💐

Så fint Henrik! Tack för en stunds stilla njutning.

Berg plays Berg again…!🎹I really like the music of Gottfrid Berg, not only because of his beautiful surname😅I just love his very personal tonal language, it’s so well balanced somehow.⚖I’ve hereby completed his five chorale partitas, this one is on the hymn "Befall i Herrens händer", a beautiful melody from the 16th century written in the Dorian mode, which makes it sound very old and with a hint of folk music. The tune is first presented in a simple 2-3 part setting, followed by three variations, of which the second is my favourite with its gentle dance like character, serious and playful at the same time.💃Hope you like it, and as always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

Happy birthday to my favourite classical composer. A fine performance too.

Wonderful interepretation on Buxtehude! Thank you for the excellent performance - encore!

Very nice choice of registration. That sounds very good. Happy Sunday.

Last week I posted one of Buxtehude’s 'smaller' settings on the splendid hymn of praise "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren", but here’s now a more large scale version in three parts, or 'verses'.🎶In the first verse we hear the melody (relatively) unadorned accompanied by a weightless left hand part that seems inspired by the jumps and runs of a squirrel…!🐿😅The second verse with three voices I chose to play on the Regal stop, imitating an instrument popular during the Renaissance, having such a unique and evocative sound.✨Then there’s the third verse, which is nothing short of joyfulness and grandeur!🎆The hymn tune is here played by the feet.👞Hope you liked this, and as always - don’t forget click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

Thank u for that. Perfect example for how it should sound

Lovely piece! I really like the harmonies! Thank you for sharing it -- and for playing it so beautifully!

Ik fyn it moai datst noch it ljocht fan'e lette neimiddei troch de rúten skynen sjen kinst...

Well done and just one stop is enough especially when he has this personality.

It's Buxtehude o'clock again!🎶'My Soul, now Praise thy Maker' is a hymn of praise, and Buxtehude seems to have liked it since he made no less than four settings of it for organ. This is the shortest and 'lightest' of them, played on the crystalline Principal stop which sits in the façade of the choir organ, situated behind the organist's back in this organ. No pedals.👞Hope you like this little gem, and as always - don't forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

Beautiful...

Tack till två skickliga musikanter 🙏 Uppskattar verkligen er båda, men Michael Axelssons tenorstämma får mig "att glömma att jag själv finnes till", för att citera Dan Andersson 🍀 Noterar att Michael inte följer texten exakt, utan sjunger en mer rytmisk text 👍

Thank you, very enchanting music.

Så vacker sång!Finns den utgiven på noter?

Fint registrerat! Mitt favorit begravningstycke 💛 ska använda den på nästa inkommande.

Now that we’re in the later part of summer, the stars have returned at at night.🌌So let’s listen to a wonderful song by Gustaf Nordqvist, set to equally wonderful words by Pär Lagerkvist (taken from 'Evighetsland'): "Star falling in the summer night, fill my soul with your light. Give me a glimpse of the enigmatic treasure, gathered in your heavenly house. Fall through my soul like a stream with your divine commandment. Wonderful and late is your hour, the message from your God." 🌠 As always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe! 😃

Nobody plays it like this

Thank you for this pleasant traditional dance and what's more... with the appropriate costume. All my best wishes for good weather.

🍀🌹🌞

Traditional folk-music on organ I like: Thank you. :)

I haven’t played any folk-music in ages, so now it’s time: a wonderful, life-affirming, happy pill of a polska (a dance tune) from Boda, one of few that were written down after a woman fiddler, Furuboms Britta in this case!🙋‍♀🎻 Hopefully this sunny tune will chase away any rain clouds, and hopefully it will brighten up your day a little!🌞And as always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

bài hát này đã có tuổi đời còn cao hơn cả em gái tôi❤❤❤

🙏🎶🌹💖🌹🎶🙏

Nice moment of real musicality.

🎶 Tack till er båda 🎶 Michael Axelssons vackra stämma har än en gång gjort min dag ljusare och lättare ❤🙏

A love song to one’s child, but with a warning…!☝I’m once again joined by my tenor friend Michael Axelsson for another song by Gustaf Nordqvist.🎶This song with lyrics by Bo Bergman, a poet whose poems were set to music by many Swedish composers, starts out quite sweet, but… there is some darkness…🌚Freely translated: Sweet little child, my dear little child, everything is yours. Do you want sun, child of the sun, so kiss me and go. Darkness is all you get here, little child. Are you still staying, little child? The darkness is sudden and the roads are narrow. The darkness is me, it is I who rule. Little child laughs and shakes her hair. Little child, wind and spring, the meadows spring into bloom where you walk. Bluest air is your pair of eyes, child of light in cloudy days.👧 Hope you liked this little song, and don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

My name is henrik as well. I’m a cellist

Thank you for this performance of unique music on an unusual but very fine organ! Greetings from Canada.

Sprightly!

BRAVO! PHANTASTIC!

This organ and your interpretation very well highlight this charming music that I did not know. Thank you and have a good Sunday.

Your performance of the G.J. Vogler Preludes, on that beautiful 18th century organ, is mesmerizing. I felt transported back in time. It's very nuanced. Thank you for sharing your rendition of these amazing compositions. It really brings them to life. It's interesting that the organ has been left unchanged, given the story behind it. The organ maker may have failed his exams, but he succeeded in creating a captivating instrument that passed the test of time.

Tack för att du spelar i Husby på den fantastiska orgeln!

So it’s time to revisit this amazing 1783 Söderström organ for part 3 of 'Abbé' Vogler’s 32 Preludes!🤩We’re now reaching some of the darker tonalities, starting out with F Minor, which gets a dark and mysterious elegance in Vogler's hands, as well as a dramatic quality.🌒Next up is F-sharp Minor, a key very rarely used at the time, saved for special elegiac moments such as the 19th prelude, with its gentle harmonic tension.💔There’s also room for some drama, as can be heard at the end of No. 20.💥But after rain comes G Major which is pure sunshine, and No. 22 has such a lovely dance-like character!🌞💃Finally we have G Minor, which again brings back a mild melancholy paired with elegance in falling, sighing motifs.😔🙇The end of No. 24 is magical with the use of the organ’s quietest and most colourful stops!✨Parts 1 and 2 can be found on my channel, don’t miss them, and as always - don’t forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃

Thank you so much for playing and sharing this lovely piece - and what a beautiful church for this fine English organ to have found a home in !
