I once again send you my congratulations for this wonderful composition that you so generously offered me. You were quicker than me to learn it and interpret it well !
I'm honoured you were happy to be the dedicatee and like this composition! Thank you, Philippe, for all your support and encouragement: your are a fabulous organist and your UA-cam channel gives me a lot of pleasure! ❤
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed my setting of this centuries-old carol that is still much loved and sung with gusto during the Christmas festivities!
Che bello sentire un po' di musica che riscalda l'anima! Bellissimo pezzo, Graham! Perfetta atmosfera natalizia con un pizzico del tuo inconfondibile stile compositivo. Bravo, bravo, Bravo!
Il primo a commentare, quindi grazie mille! È sempre un momento speciale per me quando commenti una delle mie composizioni perché apprezzo la tua integrità e so che nel tuo sforzo di raggiungere l'eccellenza in tutto ciò che fai, non ti aspetti niente di meno da nessun altro in qualsiasi impresa intrapresa. Mi piace sempre immaginare come suonerebbe la mia musica su un organo digitale da te suonato perché sei il maestro nel far suonare le canne autentiche e buone quanto un vero organo tramite modelli fisici generati al computer... e io sono un compositore "finto" che modella le note dell'organo in omaggio ai veri compositori! Una simbiosi insolita!
Graham, this is quite lovely~ my friend Bob and I have been delighted by listening to your composition and the sounds from that particular organ are beautiful!! Well done!!
That was such a bright and cheery setting Graham! It puts one into the Christmas Spirit even before the season begins, thank you! (I would love a copy as well for when I get my Jorgan up and running again!)
Many thanks, Jerry! I had a lot of fun putting this homage together. The middle section is heavy on the accidentals - more bangs than in ten boxes of Christmas crackers!
Once, you’ve created an “instant classic”! Your inventive take on this classic carol is genius, creating both joy and meditation. Beautiful work, Graham. 🎶🎄🎶
That's really kind, Phil - I appreciate your praise more than you can imagine! I look at the marvellous music that comprises your opus to date . . . and I have a long way to go before I even begin to touch your genius. Have a very Merry Christmas; I'm sure your New Year will be filled with much happiness - and hopefully, many more wonderful compositions. Best wishes!
Thank you very much, Rémi! Merry Christmas to you and your family, and a Happy New Year. I'm sure you'll be busy making music yourself and enhancing the worship at your church over the festive period.
@grahamtwist yes I will indeed, I have to more nice pieces to upload this year before Christmas, a beautiful program. I hope I have the skills to perform your composition next year ! Happy end of Advent dear Graham!
Congratulations, Graham, on your latest organ composition inspired by the timeless "In dulci jubilo" ! Your ability to breathe new life into this ageless melody is truly remarkable, blending tradition with your unique creative voice. It’s a beautiful piece that will undoubtedly bring joy to many performers and listeners. I will look at my Inbox later. 😊
Lieber Markus, vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und für deinen großzügigen Kommentar - das weiß ich sehr zu schätzen. So viel wunderbare Musik kommt aus deinem Land und viele der beliebtesten Weihnachtslieder der Welt haben ihren Ursprung in Deutschland. Es erfüllt mich mit Demut, mich von dieser großartigen Tradition inspirieren zu lassen. Ich wünsche dir ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein frohes neues Jahr! ❤
Another Twist masterpiece! Really beautiful Graham - well done. I love the sparkly figurations on top of the cantus firmus - what is the registration there - it sounds like it is gapped? It's a lovely sample set - I really should return to this Hauptwerk lark! But anyway, please may I have a copy of the score to add to my growing collection? I will try to record one one day but fear my efforts cannot do justice to your wonderful music.
Thanks very much, David - I'm glad you enjoyed my setting of 'In Dulci Jubilo'. The Rieger Organ sample set I used has plenty of colour and by having the Positive octave coupler with a Flute and Sesquialtera played on the Great with 8' Chimney Flute provided a bell-like accompaniment to the melody on a Swell 4' Clarion and just an 8' Flute in the pedal. The middle section uses flues and strings. I will email you a copy of the score! Merry Christmas!
Fantastic, Graham! This is a very lovely piece with a harmonically rich middle section. I like its characterful nature and the registrations are very well chosen. Another fine composition!
Thanks very much, Paul! I have been truly inspired by your wonderful Advent offerings, and it's always a welcome challenge for me to try and create my own settings for carols I have loved since early childhood. (And I'm cheeky enough to say you're very welcome to a copy of the score should it prove a possible contender for your 2025 Advent Calendar . . . !!)
You have written a fantastically good composition. At the beginning I hear a cymbal star that isn't even there. Very nice how you simply bring it to life with your playing. It's an incredibly beautiful interpretation of this ancient melody! Best wishes Graham and a blessed Advent season to you Roland
Dear Graham, what a fantastic composition. It looks like an “ABA” in terms of its formal structure. When the song started, I felt a baroque atmosphere, because of the ostinato in the right hand and the Choral melody in the left hand, and of course, I really liked it. But then I'm surprised by part B, where I still hear the melody of “In Dulci Jubilo”. But now with an almost jazzy atmosphere, with dissonances and sophisticated harmonies. This brought a very interesting contrast, really a Christmas surprise. Finally, you resume the first section, bringing the more festive atmosphere of the first part. A simply fantastic composition! Furthermore, I loved the lights, which together with the music and the images in the video, brought the Christmas atmosphere with great joy. Thank you very much for this and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, dear Graham, and of course, all the best always. Lots of greetings and hugs!
Muito obrigado por assistir e deixar um comentário generoso, caro André - seu apoio e feedback são sempre muito bem-vindos e apreciados! Sim, a melodia centenária inspirou uma abertura e recapitulação em estilo barroco para concluir a composição. A seção do meio é minha tentativa de envolver a melodia em harmonias fortemente cromáticas, e então alguns dos sons são bem jazzísticos, proporcionando um contraste com o estilo 'piffero' (flauta de gaita de fole). Foi uma peça divertida de criar! Tenho certeza de que você passará um tempo com a família durante o feriado de Natal, então desejo a você e Paula um momento alegre durante a temporada festiva e espero que 2025 traga a vocês oportunidades emocionantes e sonhos realizados. Muito amor e muitos abraços para vocês! ❤
Thanks, James! It is a splendid instrument and has helped me with quite a few compositions recently. Sadly . . . it's the closest I will ever get to Australia . . .

Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Guaranteed to make you feel Christmassy. Thank you, bravissimo, and a happy Christmas to you and yours!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed my setting of this centuries-old carol that is still much loved and sung with gusto during the Christmas festivities!
A very beautiful piece and amazing performance!

You really love the Scots' organ! And this is a twinkly composition! Merry Christmas, Graham! I hope we meet again in the future.
Thanks, James! It is a splendid instrument and has helped me with quite a few compositions recently. Sadly . . . it's the closest I will ever get to Australia . . .

Very Lovely, Graham. Can I have a score of this? thank you!
Many thanks for watching, Alejandro - I appreciate your interest in my efforts at composition. I have sent you a copy of the score via Facebook.
