This brought back memories: I had the privilege once of playing trumpet in a brass ensemble accompanying an organist who was doing his final concert, back home, of a three-continent tour, and this was one of the pieces played. The brass was moderately subdued and varied from verse to verse until the next-to-last: But then there breaks a yet more glorious day: the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory passes on His way. where we cut loose enough that our trumpet trio was vibrant over the top of organ and choir and audience. One might think that with an organist good enough to have his own international tour the organ should always dominate, but he said that the best musician is the one who can shine in the support role. That changed my view of performance music forever.
Had absolutely no problem with singing at that tempo. BRAVO! If one knows the tune (and EVERYONE should know SINE NOMINE!) a free-harmonization should pose no problem. I'm almost 62, overweight, and far from a professional singer. This guy knows how to inspire congregational singing! PLAY ON, MY FRIEND!!
Seems like perhaps you may need to learn to play the King of Instruments and find out. However as to your question it is my belief and from the teachers I have had many that the organist is primarily responsible for the task to lead the congregation in its expression of worship of Service. hence the name we go to service today in worship. If the organist hasn't got that down then the rest will be lost. For my part I am part of the singing majority and that is where I can feel best useful. I want everyone to be valuable and want to sing. I am a singer
@@stevewallschlaeger1379 yes, your points are well taken. I’m a vocalist and my instrument is my voice. I sing to God as a form of worship to Him. The organ seems to an art form which could use some updating for today’s younger people. However, the music of the past will always be with us in some form.
I have heard this transcription played before at the funeral of a church official..You have NAILED IT!! Hearing it without vocals makes it that much more impressive with the work Mr. Fennema put into it..
This is precisely why Dr Manz had a vigil for his funeral. He was wise indeed about that. Now people don't relive his death when they hear sine nomine or praise to the lord the almighty or Anything else. We love it as HE intended it forever that way. I still just can't manage through certain ones because of an emotion like that. People should be mindful of this for those they leave on the earth. It's a grief thing but we don't need to relive it every time we hear their favorite hymn. I roll with Dr. Manz on that because there probably are only several chorales I don't consider favorite. He had a light on the organ.and it was silent for just a time. I love hearing Mt Olives organ played which he was instrumental in building. What a vision brought to life.
That IS sad! My brother is a very gifted organist who also happened to be born on November 1. We consider for all the saints to be his song and he always always plays it the Sunday after October 31! It's the Reformation thing to do!
I’m not what one would call “religious” but I love this hymn. I often find myself singing it and others in my head at work. I’m an ICU nurse. This may seem morbid to some but I had a patient pass away the other night, may she RIP. As I was preparing her body I was singing For All The Saints in my head. Call me crazy but it helps me stay sane! Thank you for your excellent rendition!
Regardless of your tempo, this is well played. I am an organist with 52 years on the bench, and I play this at a quicker pace as well. Although it is usually played at a funeral, it is not a dirge. When my number's up, I hope this is played at this tempo. I want my mourners to remember that my funeral music was uplifting, not depressively dark and sad. You're a fine, young artist. God has given you a wonderful gift. When you play, that is your gift back to God. I wish you the best.
This is a beautifull hymn played beautifully by at talented organist on a really beautifull instrument. Thank you. This is played at the correct speed for singing which is faster than a professional match so please make allowance for that.
WOW! Just incredible!! What a talent this young man has!!! Gah this made my whole week! I love hymns and this reminded me of all the times I sang this growing up in a Lutheran church. Probably the best rendition I’ve ever heard of it, bravo!!!
Hi Nick, I've been listening to your music for a number of months now. Your music gives me a spiritual boost. I think I read that you are in college now. Are you preparing for a music career? even organ? Let me know how I can pray for you. That would be a privilege. I'm a retired pastor and some of my years were with the UMC, as you are (at least professionally). Jerry
Hi Jerry! Thank you so much! Yes, I am starting my senior year studying music education. I am hoping to pursue a master's degree in organ performance and continue my music ministry as organist and music director. Thank you for listening and letting me share my music with you!
That was simply superb! One of my favorite hymns. I love the pedalwork and the judicious use of the crescendo pedal. Is that arrangement by Peter Fennema published?
🤔🥰🥰🥰☝️🧐By Any Chance Anyone Out There In The World 🌎 Of Pipe Organ Would Mind Letting Me Know The Exact Organ Score & Arrangment Of That Golden Buzzer On That Absolutely Smashing Perfect 👌 Performance.
Good work. Thank you for this amazing piece. Where can I buy these sheet music included prelude, interludes and the phenomenal last vers? I think, we will play it also in our congregation
I was just searching online "For All the Saints" (pipe organ) & found this video! This was one of the 4 songs we played at my father's Memorial Service 10 years ago & I wanted to listen to it again... The church is Presbyterian & has a full pipe organ.... Wow, it's very interesting to watch an organ being played, I never realized how much your FEET play so many notes!!!! 👣 🎶 How long does it take to learn how to play a pipe organ? I love the sound of a pipe organ, and I wish I could learn how to do that! 😊 (but it looks very complicated)
United Methodist Church of Kent, in Kent Ohio. It is a combination of two organs, Moller and Cassavant, and freshly refurbished by Kegg Organ builders!
So great. And I love the tempo! Would I be able to use your music for our church service streamed online? We're without a music director and sometimes you just need hymns like this!
Clean crisp playing but, unfortunately, NOT SINGABLE. Singers need a steady but NOT RUSHED tempo suited to the reverberation present in the building. a+Above all they need to B-R-E-A-T-H-E. Your first step before mastering varied harmonies is to learn to SING as you play. Once you can do that securely your other great chops will make you a fine leader of congregational song.
Far too fast. I imagine the entire congregation would be gasping for oxygen by the end of the second verse. It's supposed to be a stately, processional hymn, not a power walk.
Thanks, however it worked quite nice for the congregation. I do not play hymns so slow that they drag. Congregations are capable of handling far more than most people expect. It also is important to note that every congregation is different, and one tempo might work well for one congregation, and another, would not work.
@@nicholasstackpole3158I agree! I think too many hymns have gotten “stuffy” the way we have gotten used to playing/singing them. I imagine your version is more what the authors intended and if it inspires the audience to worship the Lord with joyfulness and praise, then how could you ever be wrong! I challenge any critic with that. Keep up the phenomenal work.
A little slower, less treble and a trumpet descant on the last verse. I doubt your choir is made up of marathon runners. But well executed all the same.
That variation was played by PETER FENNEMA at a memorial service for a church official over 10 years ago.. Nick did very well to stay with the score as written..
Bravo!
Praise God for another young master who will defend the traditional hymnody. So very thankful for his work. God bless this good Maestro.

I’m loving this. I often wonder if the organist senses the power of the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit manifests Himself while playing.
The answer is an emphatic yes. 💜
A valuable harmony to the tenor line 2nd tenor. On becoming who I will be 2nd Soprano contra mezzo soprano.

this young man is phenomenal organist. I'm hoping my church plays this hymn this weekend being all saints Sunday
Sadly my church did not do this hymn on all saints Sunday. VERY DISAPPOINTING
That IS sad! My brother is a very gifted organist who also happened to be born on November 1. We consider for all the saints to be his song and he always always plays it the Sunday after October 31! It's the Reformation thing to do!
Once again I am reminded why the organ is refer to as being the king of instruments.
Absolutely, the organ stands on its own. I hate when they throw in brass or tympani
@@Richard-vq7ud The Pipe Organ Is Unchallengeable.☝️🤔😱🤷♂️✅🥰👏👏👏
It has as many voices as an 80 voice choir or an orchestra. It is king because it is all. Yet, it is in one organists employ to lead with.

I, too, am an ICU nurse. I so get what you’re experiencing. This song is relevant….caring for those for whom their labors rest.
Thank you for doing an extremely difficult job.

I am so jealous!!! Where's my talent? (LOL) Beautifully played, young man! Your parents must be so proud!
This is a beautifull hymn played beautifully by at talented organist on a really beautifull instrument. Thank you.

Great playing. Beautiful sanctuary.

Beautifully played, Brovo thank you

Wonderful. Love this hymn. Tempo IS spot on. Is that a Schantz?
It is a Moller/Cassavant mixture with a Kegg console!
@@nicholasstackpole3158 excellent everything! Awesome foot work.
Beautiful play and organ ! ❤
Do you know if I can find the score somewhere? Thank you
about the best organ playing I ever heard
Could this be used for a wedding recessional?
Must work on the checkout at Aldi... the speed of it!
I’ve heard this arrangement before, who is it by?

Is this Sinsinawa in Wisconsin!?
It's the United Methodist Church of Kent, in Kent Ohio
Weil done, but do not forget: ist is a Processional Song, Not a Nordic Walking Song...;-)
What kind of organ, and where?
United Methodist Church of Kent, in Kent Ohio. It is a combination of two organs, Moller and Cassavant, and freshly refurbished by Kegg Organ builders!
No army if God’s should drag this hymn! It is a triumph!
So great. And I love the tempo! Would I be able to use your music for our church service streamed online? We're without a music director and sometimes you just need hymns like this!
Thank you! And yes, of course! If there is a specific hymn you would like let me know!
Got a bus to catch?
this sounds like the real hymn
Nice! Slow down a little!
Beautiful arrangement. Adding the words by singers would be a bit hard. That's awful fast.
)
Nice one, I really love your pedaling skill very accurate
Slow down, sir. Majestic, please.
Slow down young man.
bit too quick
SPOT On. All Organist Know.
If you are leading congregational singing, you might add more phrasing....play the text... and not run everything together. Otherwise nice job.

If I may, as an organis of over 50 years, make two suggestions: Your tempo is too fast. Playing in stocking feet is verboten!
A little slower, less treble and a trumpet descant on the last verse. I doubt your choir is made up of marathon runners. But well executed all the same.
🤔☝️As A Organist I Would Disagree On Your 🤔🎶 A Little Slower. The Tempo Was Spot On☝️
I like the energy, but i prefer a little slower.
@@Richard-vq7ud 🤔☝🏽Agree To Disagree.

I agree it should be slower and more majestic. Americans often sing so fast that they cannot understand the words they are speaking.
