I love that hymn! After my mother died I felt sad one Sunday that she had never been to the Cathedral where I was a chorister. I felt her presence near me during the communion hymn and later this hymn was the recessional and in the second verse a finger underlined the words “death has lost its sting”. She had died suddenly without time to say goodbye and this moment reassured me.
One of the many ways God shows His kindness!
@@helenhighwater5313 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endures for ever. (Psalm 118:1 (KJV)
Beautifully played
An awesome experience for you friend and trust you were reassured of God’s care for you even in the depths of despair.
Many Blessings
I'm truly sorry for your loss, may your mother rest in peace. May you be blessed!
As a listener, I am in awe of the fact that you can not only control both hands together, doing different things, but both feet as well! It is just amazing!
After playing organ for a few years, their brain goes through some amazing changes. These people can actually multi task. Most people can not do this well, but a good organist can
Just beautiful Ben, great rhythm ,and registration ,Praise be to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ .
Beautiful playing. I’ve been a church organist since age 8 in the USA on electronic instruments until my university years when I was able to access pipe organs. I had the opportunity to come to the UK in 2017 and played several organs in the village churches in Leicestershire, two being at St Andrews Prestwold and St Thomas a Becket in Tugby. My ancestors, the Skipwith baronets, were buried at these churches in the 16th and 17th centuries so it was a great privilege for me to have that opportunity.
Tugby, not far from where I live, beautiful village
@@mssdn8976yes it is. I took a walk through Tugby with friends who live there. It’s unlike anything we have in the US so I treasured that experience.
How wonderful ❤ 👏🇬🇧 + 🇺🇸 for you. You’re so welcome 🤗
Prestwold is a superb church. The graves nearby have examples of 'Belvoir Angel' headstones. These are found in the Vale of Belvoir, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Massachusetts!
Apparently, one of the local masons emigrated to the US, and took this style of carving there. Plenty of further information on Google if you're interested.
@@davebicker8618 thank you for the information. I was not aware of the Belvoir Angels or the exportation to the US. That would be interesting to read. Yes Prestwold church is very interesting. I walked around it every day when I visited in 2017 and only was able to go inside once during that time thanks to a housekeeper from the manor house who was cleaning the church for a wedding. My 12x great grandfather Sir Wm Skipwith’s tomb is near the high altar and a splendid b piece of work. His second wife had it made some twenty years after his death but just prior to her own and both effigies are there together.
One of my favorites as well, Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son, everlasting is the victory, Thou hast oer death hath won... These old, traditional hymns of stirring music and truly uplifting, meaningful lyrics .❤
I think this is the one we use in the US, To God be the glory, great things he hath done, love it, very stirring
Bravo! Such a powerful hymn, and played with equal measures of power and conviction!
A magnificent old hymn. What a shame that there is so little singing of these grand, old hymns in church these days. Our loss.
Magnificently played maestro, I agree with you the pipe organ is undoubtedly the king of all instruments ❤
Even heavens angels must be listening. One of my favourite hymns as well. Never heard it played so beautifully before. Nothing BUT nothing beats the glorious sound of a genuine pipe organs sound. Thank you from South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏
I agree. I loved the way Barry Smith 'pulled out all the stops' at St George's Cathedral, Cape Town.
Handel was pleased with the tune. He told the music historian John Hawkins, "You will live to see it a greater favourite with the people than my other fine things."
Your passion is contagious. May God Bless You Ben
Beautiful. Thank you for keeping faith alive in your life, and for sharing it with us in your music.
The Organ is a blessing from our forefathers, as is the church.
Ben, likewise one of my favorite hymns. I play pipe organ at three churches each weekend and always include this selection at Easter. Thank you for a marvelous rendition on a marvelous instrument. 👏🏻👏🏻🎹
We shall probably be singing this at the end of March when it is Easter. We don't have an organ now, we have an electronic hymnal. Visiting a church with a functioning organ is a treat.
I have been a church organist for 50 years and have played quite a few different pipe organs. Each had its own uniqueness but all were grand. There is nothing like a pipe organ!!!!
An old Organist friend of mine Frederick Roye who long ago passed on, told me that the pipe organ is a vehicle to make or allow the Holy Ghost to speak. Hymns can be the combination to unlock the invocation to the Holy Ghost to voice music we all in unison with the Holy Ghost in hymn singing. He went on to say that the organ (a contraption) took invisible Air and made it speak. Fred was a Victorian (born 1897), he believed his tale and lived by it. He happened to be gā and came for a wealthy old Philadelphia Family. In the 1930’s he was given his portion of the Family money and asked to go away never to return. He did. He was a fine musician and Served the Episcopal Church for rest of his life as a church organist. To me, he was a Latter Day Saint. He raised goats and his old garage which really was a barn, he built a pipe organ and music studio for teaching Piano and the Organ to his choir members and their children. He also raised chickens that laid colored eggs, and used goat milk in his coffee. He lived out in Tredyffrin on the Mainline 30 miles from Philadelphia. His house was a log cabin and stone incorporated, an huge fireplace one would’ve cooked within, and the kitchen was a later building lean-to affair with an Irish wood stove in robins egg blue agate ordered straight from Ireland. He lived a solitary life and carried a dignified air about himself as to show his achievements, his Faith in Jesus Christ, and his humble life on a farm surrounded by farms. He taught and believed everything he said. He lived his conviction in the 1960’s when the Left told society that God was dead. Those awful people are the ones running the world who now all want the WEF to control everything. The hate God, and Christianity and churches and anything to promotes a logical order, and a sober continence.
Thanks Ben for the light you’ve shown in your small patch of green in Wiltshire. I love to see your love of the land and its ancient churches…that I would otherwise never ever see.
Wow, he was honest about who he was and still chose to honor the Lord by a life of chastity. What an amazing person.
What a beautiful comment, David, so many things said; they strike chords unspoken. These days and times are filled with such anguish, making your information all the more strikingly moving. May God bless your friend with eternal rest.
Mr. Maton. Thanks so much for your series on beautiful and historic instruments and their very special homes. You have an engaging and captivating presence which inspires interest and demonstrates your passions and love for the organ and its music. Your approach is greatly appreciated. I look forward to many hours of enjoying your works.
Amen to that!
all the pedals ... even in old age, will forever be amazed at the work and talent gone into these majestic "beings" of worship - to God be : is all the glory
your talent and spirit flowed thru
👏 pure and humbling
- selah
I just love how you "work" that organ; it's virtually an art-form all by itself. Watching you play is almost as much fun as hearing you play.
Brought back so many memories and a tear to my eyes. Thankyou.
As a priest I often use this hymn for funerals. It is also the hymn of my seminary
Interesting! I must remember that!
Like many others, I stumbled on your channel. Totally wonderful. This particular hymn and the way you play it really demonstrates this great tracker organ. I first discovered pipe organs at the age of eleven, when I helped maintain an organ (now long gone) in a chapel at my school. I love the way art and engineering meet to create such wonderful music.
So true and my it brings goose pimples to my skin. followed by tears of joy .Listening to a 1st class organ is truly glorious ..Thank you so very much .. English, I'm now in Berlin where each Pentecost there is a wonderful organ improvisation concert .It lasts a week and famous organists ( such as yourself come ) A huge thank you & Happy Easter.
Magnificent!! I really miss hearing our church's pipe organ. Sadly, no one plays our pipe organ anymore. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Wow-- what a lesson you're giving us in all things organ-- history, purpose, character-- and that's before we even hear your beautiful playing! Thank you, Ben, and congratulations on your great talent and gifts you share so well. 🏆👏🎹⛪
Handel - Judas Maccadeus
The pipe organ is the only reason I still have any connection to the church I grew up in. We moved away and I never heard a pipe organ in a church again. So I quit going. The praise just wasn’t there and you could tell that the people there had never been uplifted and transported by a wonderful
pipe organ masterfully played. If you want to hear the pipe organ that sustains me to this day if only in my memory, go to the Killingworth Congregational Church in Connecticut.
I can,t walk and chew gum at the same time, you are one talented young man. Its the only rease i go to church, organ music.
A wonderful hymn, sung at my dear Mother's funeral, one of her best loved hymns.
And my own mother. It is so uplifting yet the right tone for a funeral.
so beautiful !!!! Churches need to bring back the organ! Such a beautiful instrument!!!
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Brilliant!! His equal is not found in my country. I could spend hours listening to his beautiful playing.
MARVELOUS playing of a wonderful old hymn on a magnificent instrument!
Absolutely amazing piece of music, one of my grandads last wishes was for all his friends and family to sing this hymn to his coffin as he left for the church for the last time, the sun came out beaming down on us as we sang the last lines, it was a moment ill never forget
Beautiful Phrasing.
beautiful memories from childhood, born in raised in The Netherlands, now living in Canada. I miss this beautiful music! Thank you!
Yes. Thine Be the Glory is really the grandest hymn ever written--with or wirhout the lyrics. Dec. 21, 2023, St. Joseph, MO, USA
Organists are SO hard to find anymore - at least in Pennsylvania. Our church searched for two years until we found someone that could play our pipe organ. You play beautifully!
Ben, there is much to be proud of in your playing. Excellent work.
My father learned to play organ by the organ master at Birmingham private school.HIs love of music continued until,tragically,an industrial accident left him with limited use in his left hand,At that time there simply was no compensation and he could only vamp with his left hand.He continued to play as best he could until his death but was so sad for him to be unable to play has he would have wished.
Absolutely lovely. I think maybe this is why so many people have lost their faith. Listening to this beautiful music played on a pipe organ would be so uplifting.
I think something about the organ reflects the majesty of God. It’s rare to see outside of a church, that it has a strong association with it. And the music is so powerful and unique sounding on it.
What I like, is your a normal guy who loves magnificent things.
We in Germany use Georg Friedrich Händel's melody for a Christmas carol entitled "Tochter Zion, freue Dich". And it's quite popular.
Grüss Gott, uwemommens in Deutschland! Es ist mir interessant dass "Tochter Zion", ein Weihnachtslied, ist aus Sacharja 9:9 genommen und ist ein Text für Palmsonntag. Weisst du, wieso das Lied ein Weihnachtslied geworden ist?
@@lindacowles756I have to correct my earlier statement a bit, because it is actually an Advent song, so it is used for the pre-Christmas period. - In terms of content, the song takes up the reading for Palm Sunday from Matthew 21:1-9, the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Since both the Zechariah verse and the Matthew text are read according to the traditional pericope order on the 1st Advent, the song is now usually assigned to Advent.
@@uwemommens Danke sehr, uwemommens! Ich verstehe dass in der Lutherischer Kirche gibt's eine Ordnung für die Lektion aus der Bibel vom Alt-und Neuen Testamente, und auch in der Katholischer Kirche. Es macht mir Sinn das Secharja und Matthäus sind für Advent gelesen, denn die beide Texte die Ankunft des Messias verkündigen.
Playing the organ is a real workout! Thx maestro for sharing your skills with the world!
I always feel a bit depleted at the end of a service which I have played for. There is much of me given to the praise which is in my playing.
One of my great favourites too along with Guide me oh Thou Great Redeemer. I chose that as my Baptismal hymn! What a magnificent musical instrument and machine, is the pipe organ. It’s extremely moving and exciting at full volume. Truly an instrument of praise! 👏🙏❤️🤗 🎶
Ben, I can see the pride of inspiration in your nostrils !" BRAVO
Really showing this Organ at it's best.
Fascinating! I'll never listen to an organ the same again. Thanks for the tutorial.
Such a lovely idea for a UA-cam channel. It will be both a joy , uplifting and soothing all at the same time.
I agree! That is one of the very finest, most uplifting English hymns. Great job on all the quick registration changes. There is so much to remember when playing the organ and changing the stops frequently.
In German it's "Daughter of Zion, rejoice!" Let's see it as a good omen in these dreadful times ...
☀️
Thank you so much! That was amazing! ❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thanku so much Jesus that you gave us Ben and all his beautiful dedicated
musicianship,yours be the glory Jesus.
THE mightiest hymn ever first heard it in a small Methodist church with a small electronic organ it still knocked me out for six!!!! 😅
It is a beautiful instrument indeed! Hill was an excellent builder. I used to be organist of Highwood Lutheran Church in Calgary, AB, Canada several years back. The church has an 1870 JS JC Odell organ from 1870. Many of these 19th century American romantic tracker organs were relocated through the Organ Clearing House in the 1960s to Western Canada.
One of my favorites, with simplistic meaning and inspirational character element indicative of this hymn.
True indeed, we open occasionally with this hymn in our church, well I must be at church every Sunday as for I'm the organist and leading over 9000 congregants with hymns on our beloved giant the 5 manual moller
WOW! THANK-YOU, Ben :) for Blessing us, with this! :)
I will never cease to be AMAZED at the TREMENDOUS TALENT God has given to you - and YOU haved very obviously honed :)
....to be able to produce such beautiful & powerful
Music :) in special unison - with what we call an organ..... Wow! What a Blessing! :)
....GREETINGS & Blessings, from Saskatchewan, Canada.... :)
That hymn is my seminary’s designated hymn; wonderful for Easter
Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us. I played in worship on an electronic organ and piano for about 30 years. I had the good fortune to play a few pipe organs in my time. No comparison - the pipe organ tops everything.
Pure beauty: organ, words, and organist .
I will look out for your cd, I love organ music and your explanation is eye opening. We have a little old church organ but when played well can make a holy sound
Absolutely fantastic
Very special.Thank you so much.
Played with great interpretation of both hymn and this particular organ. ❤
Music by Handel (from Judas Maccabeus) and words to match the tune. Yes indeed, a mighty hymn. So many of these grand hymns that lift the soul and spirit need to be preserved. They are increasingly not being sung in church.
Beautiful!
❤❤absolutely wonderful sung it many times fab organ
Ben, your creativity with the registrations brings out the best of this hymn! As with the other hymns you've put on UA-cam with this organ, you have a knack for making this organ sound much bigger than it really is.
I'm looking forward to listening to your CD through my car's sound system - ordered it this morning, US Eastern time.
It’s on its way John!
Wonderful! God bless!
Stunning! Organ and playing!
I just purchased your recording and am looking forward to it.
You mention how people turn to music for certain reasons. It’s my hypothesis that music is the sound of our emotions. That’s why it can be so comforting. Yours is especially so.
That takes me back to my childhood. Thank you Ben,
Gorgeous Ben, with beautiful talent. God bless you, fellow . 🙌🙏🕎✝️✡️🙏❤
May the Lord be with you! Amazing.
Wow, to continue the vehicle metaphor, I bet you'd have no problem with a "three on the tree". That was a wonderful hymn. Thanks for playing for us.
You've hit it in one; any instrument can be used to play any music, but the mighty organ finds its best purpose in praising God!
This young man clearly has a great love for the organ and hymnody. That's wonderful to see!
Wow, that was amazing, your playing and the music, God has given you a wonderful gift
Somehow a very restrained and beautiful (and dare I say English) interpretation of what can sound like a strident Lutheran marching hymn. Your music is a joy.
Thanks Ben, great as ever
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave-clothes where thy body lay.
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won.
Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness hymns of triumph sing,
for her Lord now liveth; death hath lost its sting.
Thine be the glory…
No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is nought without thee: aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.
Thine be the glory…
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu Yahweh!!!
Your videos are wonderful! Thank you.
People who play musical instruments are brilliant, to me, organ players are on another level. There is one at Orange NSW in, I think the Anglican Church. Only GOD could play that.
WONDERFUL! Thank you!
Just like the one I used to play in my parish church (but mine had fewer stops.) Love the trumpet, and I bet the addition of the pedal reed made a massive difference. Well played!
So beautiful thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful hymn and your talent.
Your playing gives me the chills. I love it!
👩🏻💻I love pipes organs. Their sound is majestic and solid or lilting and all together uplifting. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I grew up listening and singing with the glorious pipe organ in the Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States of America. I was able to be a part of the Oratorio Society of Utah and sang the "Messiah" for several years in the that wonderful building. Pipe organs are a wonderful instrument 9f enjoyment and spiritual aspirations. I loved listening and enjoy your hard work.
❤❤❤
🙋♀️😘🥰🇺🇲
Fantastic!!! Love this hymn too ❤️ Always look forward to your videos.
❤ thanks for your art and love of organ.❤ blessings.😊
One of my favourite hymns thank you!
Thanks for the introduction to this pipe organ - some wonderful stop combinations and the use of solo stops - thanks for posting this.
So powerful and majestic!
Thank you. You are wonderful.🤗
Beautiful, beautiful,beautiful❤❤❤❤❤
There is nothing else like a pipe organ. one incident that I remember was a few years ago was when a music student offered to play the organ at a village fete I went to see if she was ready and was told "I have switched it on, but I can`t get it to play". When I leaned over and pulled out two stops, she nearly jumped out of her skin. Bless her, she played well for the fate, and came back later to find out what the organ could really do.
Magnificent! Praise be to God!🙏
Thank you! 🎄❤️🎄
Very cool. I love it! Thanks for sharing! I love to play this one on my violin! I can feel it in my soul.
❇ Beautiful and moving!
