Thank you Alberto, the best performance of this piece, I have ever heard. The organ is so clear and the tumpets gorgeous! The precision of your playing exellent. Thank you again. John Lofthouse Denver Co, USA
One of my college choral directors also played the organ. This was one of our favorites. We called it "The Superman Song". In fact, I had him play it as the recessional at my wedding.
It looks like there is only 2 1/2 octaves for the Trompette en Chamade. Although the sound is stunning, how does that translate into space on the keyboard? Basically, how do you not press the wrong key in this instance? Love pipe organs and this is my favorite section!
Great playing and great organ. But I never understood why this David German piece is so popular. It's extremely cheesy. It always sounded to me like the intro to an 80's soap series like Dallas or Dynasty or something.
Because it's an easy but effective piece for any festivity. Almost without fail I get asked about details of this music after playing it in service. It's easy on the ears and the harmonic structure isn't complex to understand.
Wonderfully voiced trumpet. Sadly in the states many churches want the biggest and loudest horizontal trumpet and it does not add to the ensemble, rather a show off stop.
Excellent but a shame about the tuning on the solo reed!!!! I know it's difficult to keep these things in tune though, temperature changes and draughts can spoil things at the last minute! Organ tuner in Bermuda!!!!
The organ has been recently fully cleaned and revoiced after a complete restoration of the church. There is the idea of making a new recording for comparison, using exactly the same stops I used in the recording above (obviously with tuned reeds).
I suspect that it is not so much out of tune, as this is a 'feature' of the 'temperament' of the tuning? In the first half, everything sounds fairly smooth and pretty much in-tune... not perfect, but pretty good. That C# that appears in the last half, after the key change to, what is it, 5 sharps(?), it might be out, but otherwise, that key signature will be one of the ones that might be neglected when flattening the thirds in more common key signatures for well-tempered tuning. Except for that C#, it is all rather edgy... alternately flat and sharp. I suspect that's no accident. Maybe there is someone who knows more about this who could comment on how reeds like this are voiced?
Ruffati trumpets always sound heavenly
Bravo Maestro! It is a beautiful sound and a good performance! Gracious!
This makes me feel like never giving up. Absolutely wonderful.
First time hearing this piece, absolutely beautiful! I'm sure this would be a lovely piece for a wedding or Sunday morning service.
The composer actually wrote this piece for his wedding.
No one seems to mention the name of the church in which this is located: San Vittore Martire.
Bravo!!!

This is good listening and well worth the fee.
Nice!
Bellissimo strumento e complimenti per l'esecuzione. Peccato per l'accordatura dello strumento.

That's the reason why this piece is so populär.
Yeah, and Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor is just Dracula’s theme song to most people. Strong opinion you’ve got there.
Are you ok?
Are you open to constructive criticism?

There are Ruffati trumpets on the organ at St. Paul Lakeland, FL. Beautiful indeed.
Hello - I think you might have missed out a beat at 1:08. Either that or my score is different to yours! :P
Yes, I missed out 1/4 in that point (1/8 from the minim and 1/8 from the crotchet). I think there are no differences in our scores.
On target! Just like the piece should be played! Wouldn't change a thing.
Perhaps have that Trumpet stop tuned ? ? ?
Thank you!

Het betalen en niet betuigen
well played Maestro but this organ is bad tuned...
