Fantastic playing and good luck with your organ project. There is a large 4 manual Walker in the cathedral of Barbados where I live. This sound reminds me of it.
@@tobysherring1369 No, the rhythm was objectively sloppy in places. IMO, the organist was not feeling the rhythm, and therefore it was unstable at times. The human core brain (not cerebellum) is not great at operating accurately in real time, so it's necessary to engage locomotory (movement related) machinery to stabilize the beat. Certain cultures / genotypes etc seem to me to be substantially better than others at this. Classical musicians tend to be worse than pop musicians in my experience, and organists tend to be worse than everyone else. The (surely) great Peter Hurford lamented this in his famous book on making music on the organ. IMO, the notes should hang on the rhythm, not the other way around as is happening here. Congregations get this: they might not understand harmony well but they do know rhythm. Play rhythmically and the congregation will lift the roof, in my experience.
@@tobysherring1369 Example 02:22 That dotted note was massively shortened. Congregations go muffled if you play like this because they can't unite rhythmically.
I have been playing piano in various settings.Self-taught for almost 15 years since I was a child.How does one go about becoming comfortable with and learning foot positions for the bass notes While playing? I feel like that is a very unique and complex skill to pick up but I love the sound! I would likely play most of my Pieces with less mid rain sound a lot more clear treble And strong bass notes
Get a metronome which has a distinctive tick on the downbeat and work through the whole hymn including your playover and don’t stray from that until you’ve got it sown up; then allow yourself a bit of fun in varying the harmonies and a steady rallentando to round the hymn off. It will come with practice.
Correct; there are certainly timing errors there. Not only that but the space between verses is also not timed; the congregation will not be restarting the verses with the organ; similarly the closing bars are overdone and once again the congregation singing will become fragmented.
Phenomenal. I've been a church organist for 16 years on and off. I still take inspiration from other organists and their arrangements
Kindly ignore the singular “thumbs down” from the obligatory clown. . That, my friend, was nothing short of GLORIOUS!!
Great Welsh hymn tune :)
There is not enough of these church organ videos 😶
I love that sounds
Great organ, and absolutely brilliant organist!!!!!!!!!
That’s the hymn of assurance . Just love it 🥰
Beautiful accomplishment of the organ.
Love the organ beautiful hymn inspiring and brings me closer to the Lord
Glorious!
Glorious! Gigantic and glorious!
Lovely sound and I liked your last verse.
That's was beautiful ! Thank you and may God bless your endeavours 🙏
Fantástica apresentação. Parabéns ao pessoal do The Organ Project, principalmente a este organista. Rio de Janeiro, Brasil!

St Michael's cathedral?
thank you for providing the Welsh lyrics. The Welsh aspect of the hymn is often sadly overlooked.
Magnificent!
Great ! ! A good rhythm would make it even better.
I agree with you about rhythm
The rhythm was played as written. If you mean tempo, did you think it too fast or too slow?
You rush the eighth notes. Your end harmonization is good and the organ sounds great.

This pipe organ isn’t an Austin, but it sure sounds like one.
A favorite hymn.I was uncomfortable with the tempo in several measures. Otherwise, good.
Isn't the title 'Guide Me Now, O Great Jehovah'?
Can I get last verse sheetmusic
The beginning few bars aren't quite right. Plus Is it me or is the timing slightly off...maybe a little rushed in places.

I see he has a wedding ring on
