They need to post more hymns with fantastic descants like this and change the descants every year as King's College Choir did under Mr. Cleobury RIP.And continue to post such glorious music .
In my mind without question, the most superb interlude ever, and in the 50+ years of playing and listening to the organ, I've heard some of the best in the golden era of church music growing up in NYC and nothing comes close or within 100 miles of THIS. It actually brings tears to the eyes. WOW!!!!
Two years on from my last comment. Still get chills. Utterly spectacular and outstanding from David Briggs. Just wish there was a recording of some more of this service. Brilliant.
We should all thank Bryan Zaros for capturing this amazing and thrilling 'tour de force' by David on this superb organ in St John's cathedral. He uses the voices of the organ to the fullest effect and with the choir, brass and huge congregation, brings glory to the new born King!
Listening to this again..love the theatricality of this...power and energy...Americans are good at this... need more of this at Westminster Abbey etc as in the days of Simon Preston. Cathedral playing in the UK these days is so terribly inhibited. Gloucester Cathedral is usually pretty good with Jonathan Hope.
St. John the Divine has some truly magnificent liturgies. I can honestly say that when the processional cross passes you there, you feel like it is the procession of a king. Because it is!
Great organ impros....the English could learn from this and also Notre Dame (Paris) etc. Ironically, David Briggs is playing who is English ironically! Exciting stuff!!
God Bless You, God Bless My Ministry, Catholic Ministry Online and God Bless All those who have asked their Prayers from me and Prayers for the invasion of the Ukraine 🇺🇦 and for the Flood Victims from Queensland and New South Wales🙏🕊🛐🕊✝️🕊🙏🕊🛐🕊✝️🕊
Really?? I'll look that up, but how tall is the statue of liberty? I've never ever heard that and I've hung around SJD since 1971, so that's an interesting thing to say.
Too bad tourists don’t know what’s uptown! If they go northwest Central Park, they will see this place! St. Patrick’s cathedral southeast park, St. John divine northwest park.
@@kevinprzy4539 There's one in New York City, very high church, has the nickname of "Smokey Mary's", due to the incredible use of incense... Much smaller building than St. John the Divine... I think they have an E. M. Skinner pipe organ.

Fantastic, the organist and the organ! Terrible: The bishop and his assistance behind the Altar, like a television-cooking! Horriblle "neo-roman-catholic" practice!

There is NO sound like the beauty and grace of the organs at St John the Divine!
That was magnificent. May the voice of praise always be heard from America in these increasingly dark days
Quite amusing to watch the string players continue to play along with the full tutti of organ, brass, and choir... as if they will be heard

Got chills listening to this. Amazing work by Mr Briggs. Presumably Mr Tritle on the baton, clearly joyous on that last verse. Outstanding.

Thank you very much and Happy New Year, as well 😎
Wow that was amazing!!! I can’t wait for that organ to be back playing again!!!

Thank you so much, Colin!

The build up to and then the thundering power of low C at 6:26 is just awesome.
This so reminded me of Arthur Phillips from the St.Mark's Episcopal Church on Brooklyn and Union street .Superb
Just WOW!!!
Good God, if that’s only the offertory, I can only imagine what the recessional was like
Well the opening procession is far more important than the so called recessional
God bles

muito lindo nas igrejas do Brasil não tem essa maravilha

Notre Dame was/is amazing.

Well done Mr. Briggs... one of the few years I didn't record and upload. This is amazing!
Beautiful. Thanks for filming Bryan. Many don't know this, but the Statue of Liberty could stand up inside St John the Divine and clear the ceiling.
Catholic church.without the pope
Really?? I'll look that up, but how tall is the statue of liberty? I've never ever heard that and I've hung around SJD since 1971, so that's an interesting thing to say.
Is this particular diocese still part of the world wide Anglican communion???
Yeah
yes
It's an Episcopal cathedral, so yes.
Too bad tourists don’t know what’s uptown! If they go northwest Central Park, they will see this place! St. Patrick’s cathedral southeast park, St. John divine northwest park.
It aini't St, Mary the Virgin but they do a good job.
The one in london? Lmao that’s
a very overrated and oversaturated church….not nearly on the level of st john the divine

I hope the service began with a public safety notice... If you value your hearing, you better run to your cars.
I think most people probably took the subway. Just sayin....
Is this a real Catholic Church or the fake Anglican one invented by King Henry?
It's a real Episcopal Church 😎
Its a nice church. I like catholic people and their cathedrals.
Whats difference of Episcopal from Catholic? Seems similar
