    This is far and away the best organ transcription of this piece I could find on UA-cam. Magnificent, Mr. Maxey!

      well, the bridal chorus is one of the most played pieces in the church and wagner wrote it.

    I have been moved to tears every time I listen to your magnificent rendition of this Edwin LeMare transcription. I have never heard it as part of a regular service previously. As the video ends it is not possible to gage the audience reaction. I'm wondering if they could understand what glory they were witnessing in this offetory music? G-d bless you, Jim Maxey, for providing this amazing musical experience for all of us.

    Amazing!! This is the first time I've ever heard it performed as a solo instrument piece! I fell in love with it in high school orchestra when we performed it for the state band competition, and won first place! I still remember how much of a killer it was to learn; it was a real challenge. (I played bass clarinet).

    I love this version - but Justin, and others, please note that this great transcription from 1909 leaves out something - at 4:39 in the video, or 19 measures from the end - on beat 3, the chord should change to the subdominant (Ab/Eb) on beat 3. I'm not sure why Professor Orem left that out - it's kind of a pivotal moment. I know this is a little geeky, but comparing it to the original Wagner score, it's definitely missing. Thanks.

    Bravo! Were you an organist at St. Paul' s episcopal church in Rochester. I think around 2011? My mother and I had rears from your beautiful performance and my mother told me she wanted it played at her funeral. She passed away at the age of 99 last October and I told Dr. Poovey I wanted that played and was told it had NEVER been played at St. Paul's so we could not have it. We settled on Nimrod. He didn't tell me it was the assistant playing who had no conception musically of that precious gem, nor of of Piu Jesu from the Faure Requiem. Needless to say I was not happy with the music and would like to find an organist in Rochester who could come and play Wagner and the Barber Adagio. She is in The columbarium and I know she would be able to hear it. God Bless and thank you for letting me hear you play on This video.

      Carol Lovell thank you for your compliment! Yes, I was the assistant organist at St. Paul's August 2010 through June 2012 and played this transcription on the beautiful restored EM Skinner organ probably in late 2011.

      @@rodrigosuarez8274 I didn't mean what I said to sound condescending, only that, to fully realize a proper orchestral sound (since the piece in question is both an orchestral transcription and written during the symphonic period of composing), it requires some advanced study of registrational practice, plus performance of other composers of the same era to fully understand. Too deep a subject to go into here but most definitely a deeply gratifying one. In terms of keyboard study, this era is typically not broached until college, as it presumes an adult level of maturity, and oft, a larger hand size.
