Tremendous intro by Kolander (and your execution thereof!) For a moment, I thought the congregation was stunned in silence by its beauty; then I realized...
Thanks! Unlike most of my other videos this introduction is not improvised, but in fact a setting by Keith Kolander published by Augsburg Fortress in their "Easter" collection.
Great to hear that! Have you played the Keith Kolander setting that I used for the introduction here? It's in the Augsburg Fortress "Easter" collection. I'm finding all these collections to be very useful for hymn based settings.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (April 28, Easter 5), I played this as the Opening Hymn.

yes, Keith Kolander is my brother.
One of my top 5 hymns. Beautiful playing of the organ.
Awesome and inspiring!
Thank you, Lisa! It might make me look un-informed, but are you related to Keith somehow?

Sang this today in church.
