This is our tradition as the postlude (which the congregate sits quietly for) following the funeral service. We are blessed with a fine organ and organist. One of our departed saints requested this. She said, "This is the resurrection."
Amazing. I have loved this song since I was a young boy in the 1950’s when the organist in our church would play this as the postlude on Palm Sunday, the prelude on Holy Thursday, and the postlude on Easter Sunday.
Had to chuckle when you called it a song! A song (nearly always) has words and is sung by a person or people! (Some composers wrote songs without words but that's another story!) I've played 'the Widor' at 79 weddings! I wonder how many notes that adds up to!
Good point! Guess a song does need lyrics. I’m guessing that you are a pretty accomplished organist to be able to play this. Not an easy thing. Congratulations!
@@davidcurran-z8g Thanks! I've been playing it since I was 13. Actually, it isn't all that difficult. The right hand plays a lot of notes and can ache after 5 minutes but it's fair to say that the instrument does most of the work! I once played it on an organ which Widor played - that was a wonderful day!
A lovely, beautiful, and very, very well done rendition of this great classical French masterpiece. The balance of the orchestra with the organ is superb and the blending is flawless. The conducting is also first class. This is why I love classical music.
So much powerfull when you sat AT thé organ and play it , strange feeling of " power" with thé bass pédals...wonderfull rendition with thé hammering bells
I've heard the Widor many, many times as organ solo. However, this is the first time I've heard with the orchestra as well. I must say I am simply awestruck. ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!
Here I thought the organ performance of this masterwork was powerful. What a surprise to hear it with orchestra! I personally think that Widor would have loved this. Great transcription!!!!
Riverside Church (NYC) plays this on the organ at the end of their Easter Sunday service. Listening to this, I can imagine the women running from the tomb, ready to spread the news that Jesus has risen from the dead!
Absolutely stunning orchestration! Beautiful organ playing! This is simply beyond belief it is so perfect a marriage of the Orchestra and the Organ. Bravissimo!
Idem ,je ne la connaissais qu'à l'orgue ,mais c'est une symphonie et l'orchestre est brillant aussi ...qui a dit que le 19 em romantic était allemand ,avec Widor ,Faure Saint- Saens,Berlioz ,la France possédait des compositeurs de qualité .

What a completely satisfying performance of this most satisfying organ masterpieces. It lets the angels fly and then Thunder, and the chimes at the end were just what we cant get from an organ. I felt I might be missing some of what was going on in the orchestra just because of miking, and recording limitations, but this was the whole meal and we all leave full sated. Thank you one and all for this delighting addition to the canon.
Spectacular all right. And after all those transcriptions of orchestral works for organ, why not have one the other way round? Variety is good. Very clever to have the organ solo at the start, so the orchestra coming in was something of a shock.
Nicely done ✅ and every time I hear I get my personal time travel, grown up with this piece of music as my father was organist and played it frequently.
What a beutiful combination of organ and orchestra f ok r this magnificent organ piece. With all due respect to that "Wondrous Machine" and Maestro Widor, please take the next step and transcribe the entire piece for "solo" orchestra! Widor will come back to haunt me and not you. It is my blasphemous idea! More importantly, bravissimo for that wonderful gooseflesh rousing performance!!
Amazing Just Amazing Pulls on my Hart, Brings to Mind old memories, like a child on a merry-go-round. Reminds my of my Daughter Adrianna She loves all the Mid-way rides Rest in heavenly peace my sweetest Daughter
The church I grew up at, our choirmaster (also a highly accomplished organist) would play this accompanied by the brass and tympani of the city's symphony orchestra. Beautiful. I like the addition of the rest of the orchestra here.

What a beautiful comment! There is a woman in the front row, in a blue sweater. At the beginning, she is leaning to her right, listening, her arms down. By the end, she is sitting up, smiling, with her arms crossed over her chest. She is the visual representation of "overwhelmed with joy." That's what this music is for.
Of course, the power of the pipe organ alone in Widor's famous organ masterpiece is great. But adding a symphony orchestra to that organ would make Saint-Saens very proud!
Quand j'entends cette magnifique interprétation, je me sens fier d'être français et je me dis que la France est l'une des nations les plus contributrices à la civilisation !

All I can say is WOW in captials because I was so exhausted just watching this even though I wasn't playing anything

Magical. Love the bells
chimes, not bells ;-)
This is my first time to hear this piece played for organ and orchestra and am totally blown away. Goosebump performance. Thanks for posting.
Wow ! About time the Widor was played this way.
Kudos to the sound engineer and his/her crew. An excellent recording.
3:00 not kidding actual tears to my eyes with headphones
There is something extraordinary in his performance
BRAVA!!!!!! This gives me chills!!!! This has become my HAPPY SON!!!!
Known it since last century ,but this one with orchestra brought me chills and tears ,wonderfull people ...great music ...
Powerful stuff, Love it.
I thought widor on organ alone was powerful. But this is just fantastic, made me smile from beginning to end
You should hear this on piano. It is smooth and calming for the soul.
@@aroncoetzee8883 I will certainly do that
There is also a version with a big choir singing the main 'theme' with words.
Never heard this Toccata with Orchestra and Organ. Only organ previously. Magnificent!!!
An organ and orchestra. A formidable musical accomplishment! Bravo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good effort and fun.
Great! Such a different, fresh...
About Easter & spring.
Brilliant Performance!!!!
I want this to be played at my wedding... seriously.
Leave plenty of money in your will for it if you want a full orchestra!
Who is your husband gonna be.
@@richardsage4020 It was about a wedding, so how did you think about a will?
Wow!! This arrangement is so overwhelming! I can barely keep the tears back. I love it!
Wonderful! This and David Willcocks's Sing with choir, etc, are truly magnificent adaptations of Widor's original work.
Stunningly, excitingly beautiful! Bravo!
Utterly incredible performance, a masterpiece!
No words! Truly phantastic!!!😍😍👏👏👏
This is absolutely wonderful, I have never heard it played with an orchestra.
Thank you so very much.
Widor would be pleased. I know I am. Excellent. Love how all the nuances in the piece are brought forward.
Je croyais qu'il était impossible de rendre une œuvre si magistrale plus belle encore, mais je me suis trompé, quel incroyable travail !

Congratulations, Thomas Wilson. It's an amazing orchestration. Chapeau! Really impressed!
Heard this toccata performed on an organ before, a great recording. An organ and orchestra playing together was stunning. Wow!

OMG THIS IS SO COOL
i love it
This is really fantastic and sounds like it was originally written as a concerto piece. Makes perfect sense!
Nicely done ✅ and every time I hear I get my personal time travel, grown up with this piece of music as my father was organist and played it frequently.
great performance! The arrangement and orchestra sound great, thank you!
OUTSTANDING! This should be the preferred version. Parabens a todos!
Fantastic

I dont think so. He would love the orchestral setting of this great SYMPHONY work!

Pure musicality!!! Virtuosity!!
This would also be magnificent adding a full choir!! What amazing piece!!!
ThThis has always been my favorite piece. The symphony arrangement brings a whole new dynamic effect that is outstanding
Always enjoyed this piece, great with orchestra.😊
MAGNIFICO!!!!
This is great !
After listening to this, I bet the ole boy who wrote this would be proud to hear it.
Brilliant! , Wow !

I like the addition of the rest of the orchestra here.
AWESOME PERFORMANCE! BRAVISSIMO!

L'avrò ascoltato una quarantina di volte negli ultimi mesi(ovviamente)...bellissima esecuzione!!!!
Amaze-ballz!
The bells were a great touch.

If you were trying to explain the term "overwhelmed with joy" to a visitor from another planet, this video would help...

Wonderful bells
First time I see this orchestration version.
Fantastic!!!
That was thrilling!
Absolutely love this arrangement!!
Wonderful arrangement!
Meraviglioso, bravi!
omg this is the absolute most & i love it
Bravo!
BRAVO!

BRAVO!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love this composition originally and this is a great arrangement! Thank you!
Well, I really enjoyed that!! 😊😊😊
This gets back the visceral thrill of the original!
Interesting point, that having heard the organ version so often, it does not have the same impact as the first time one heard it.
Great!
I think the piece is so popular because it link with some divine entity in the universe!!
Bel ensemble formé par l'orgue et l'orchestre pour une oeuvre écrite initialement pour orgue seul !
Wow! :D
Quand j'entends cette magnifique interprétation, je me sens fier d'être français et je me dis que la France est l'une des nations les plus contributrices à la civilisation !
Moi aussi ❤
WOW !!!! PERFECTION !!!!!!!!!
Ein interessantes Arrangement!
Am I the only one that feels like this organ has a very clear sharp sound?
I now know how it feels to fly. Chimes add height to flight.
