I was scanning down a list of videos, and I had to back up when my eye caught on this title. "Godspell!", I thought--but it's the source hymn. Thanks for posting!
Dear Rodney, That is an awesome thanksgiving day hymn. That is one of the hymns that I will be playing next month on thanksgiving day in the United States. Happy Thanksgiving, Rodney! And may GOD bless you and yuor family. Blessings, Joshua
Now how did I miss this Rodney, it is, or was, a very popular hymn here in the UK, remember it very well from when I was a lad, and as usual, you've played it in way that could only wish to hear it played, so thanks, brings back memories. :))
I wish my Shoninger would allow such a perfect dynamics control and have a rich bass like all your reed organs, Rodney...congratulations for one more beautiful and inspiring video.
Count me in! I might be a little late if I packed up now, I can be there in 12 hours :) It sounds like a wonderful time, wishing you all the best and God's blessings! Happy Thanksgiving! Rodney
I found this just in time for our next Thanksgiving celebration. Magnificent, and yes, it really is one you can 'belt out' and why not when we have so much to be thankful for.
Thank you very much! The hardest part with restoring these intruments is putting the time into it, 150-200 hours of tedious work. The end result it worth every second of time that I put into the restoration. But then I'm not sure what I enjoy the most in this hobby, restoring or playing it after... :)
Christian Thanksgiving greetings from Wisc. Tonight we have combined worship with our two neighboring churches..Baptist and Lutheran. We're the Methodists and the host's this year. We take turns hosting. So, bring your organ and talents and join us Rodney! :) The three choirs are combining together as well. And then we get to enjoy coffee and treats and have fellowship with the neighbors! It's always a blessed event. †
Such a gorgeous tone and how well I know that hymn. Happy Thanksgiving Rodney! May you continue making marvelous Reed Organ videos for many many years into the future. :-) Craig
That's the "couplers" that make the keys push down an octave higher in the treble or octave lower in the bass. I explain it briefly in my video "Reeding101 Chapter 2", around the 5 minute mark. Tracker (mechanical) pipe organs can do the same thing, it is another thing that makes these organs unique.
I notice the treble couples in some of the refrains without you drawing a couple stop, how does this work? Is it a case of “first” and “second touch” as you might find on a Tracker pipe organ: i.e pressing the notes lightly to sound the drawn stops then harder to engage the coupler mechanism?
What's the deal with the keys that press themselves without being fingered? Is that a typical reed organ feature? (I think reed organs are cool for several reasons, but I don't really know anything about them.)
Rodney, God Bless You.
I Love this hymn, and i love so much this performance.
Greetings from Brazil.

Wonderful! I have heard many reed organs over the years, and still haven't heard anything to compare to the 'Berlin'. It is a real treasure.
Dear Rodney,
That is an awesome thanksgiving day hymn. That is one of the hymns that I will be playing next month on thanksgiving day in the United States. Happy Thanksgiving, Rodney! And may GOD bless you and yuor family.

Excellent! The "power" of the Berlin organ comes through again on this wonderful hymn.- Larry

Very beautiful indeed. You and your Berlin are a gorgeous combination.

I love this hymn. Happy Thanksgiving from the US!
Looking forward to singing this in the next couple of weeks!
Lovely!!! Had to "favorite" this. Thanks for sharing. :-)

That is very cool, you made that reed organ sound grand!
