Fantastic! I particularly loved the “learn to waffle” section before the Bridal March!
All we need now is for Tom to write a companion book for clergy: “8 minute sermons that the congregation can actually understand”.
Just goes to show how a first-class musician can make such a modest instrument sing. Articulation, articulation, articulation!
This is tremendous!! What a great resource! Thank you, Jonathan!
This is such a great idea. Bookmarked in case anyone ever asks me "how do I play the organ if I can already play the piano?"
I've started playing the pieces and it's a wonderful resource for those, like me, who are relatively new to the organ. Well worth it get this excellent collection of pieces.
Not that I'll ever get the chance to play a good organ - or even a relic (beyond working out on a single keyboard and great VI Software libraries of good organs), this has been a great video for a "non-organist" but a fan of the instrument and a "sometime" wanna-be organist. The reductions of these pieces are right up my alley and will perhaps soon be ordering them both, 1 & 2. Further I appreciate that you've taken the time to do this for we who love the instrument, have limited capacity (much less opportunity) and will likely never be lucky enough to exercise the desire to play - but rather it's the learning I appreciate and the effort you've put into making this look as easy as it does - plus your ideas, thoughts, suggestions and so forth on registrations and all that goes into making something that's sadly disappearing, play with at least the possibilities of renewing an ancient relic as some of these great instruments are. THANK YOU!
I've never heard the word Salicional pronounced before. That's because I'm a converted pianist. Thanks for some new ideas!
Love the Scott brothers!!! Both, so brilliantly talented, nice & lovely chaps. You gents are truly Brit treasures for all that you do for the organ (and organ & piano together). Endless appreciation for your contributions to the music world!
This is fantastic! There are so, so few publications of easy, yet worth-while pieces that bridge that pedagogical/educational gap between intermediate piano rep, and actual organ rep. If I had this 10 years ago, I might have actually stuck it out longer with the organ. More books like this are so DESPERATELY needed in the organ world, for no other reason than to just get people up and playing...something. Digging through IMSLP or hymn books for appropriate pieces for one's skill level can be a bit daunting, and often hymn books are formatted for singers, and not for keyboardists.
Loved the way you made a modest instrument sound awesome. Some of the low frequency sounds made the hairs stand up.
I wish I'd studied the organ properly when I was younger. At about 15 , I was given a two octave chord organ, and did my best to play by ear " The Prince of Denmark's march " . Well it kept me amused for a while. Now I'm 64, I amuse myself on a couple of keyboards, and listen to lots of recordings. And of course YOUR videos. keep em coming, thanks to you both. 🙂
A marvelous collection of charming and tasteful pieces. I kept chuckling at “Simple, very simple” at the same time half expecting Jonathan to say “Now we are going to thumb down from the swell to the great playing two manuals at once with one hand…Simple, very simple!
I think I occasionally saw that thumb drifting down to the great, then he stops himself from doing it!
Very good, Jonathan. It saddens me to see, on UA-cam, churches abandoning traditional musical forms and order of service to attract (they hope) the younger set to replace the oldies, organist included, as they die off. The result is large numbers of once fine instruments too expensive to either maintain or remove, left to the tender mercies of rat, mouse, bird, bat and dirt. If I bought such a church on the real estate market, I'd like to have the organ brought back to original specs and performance and make it available as a teaching, practice and young recitalist's instrument. An unrelated story - years ago a church was hired out for a function. Next day, a Sunday, the organist discovered that a staple gun had been used to attach streamer decorations to the organ case and just pulled off leaving staples with tails on the expensive woodwork. Words were had, but I forget the outcome. Col, (76) NZ
Such a heart warming video. Thank you. I failed to play the piano well as a child fifty odd years ago, but love music. I discovered Radio Three in about 1967, and recordings in 1971.
Later I started the double bass and got to professional grade [my best playing was for the Birmingham Festival Choral Society Orchestra], though I was always crippled with nerves if I thought anyone was actually listening to me! Thus I always messed up auditions, but was a good player in ensemble. I think I would utterly fail at the organ [now in my sixties] because I know people actually do listen to it! Even in church services. I know I do.
Thank you and best wishes, George
PS: I used to sneak into Bridge Sollars Parish Church [Herefordshire] and play the little organ there, which was never locked, as a child in the early 1970s, and I was fine, if nobody was about.
This is an absolute brilliant idea Jonathan! Thank you Tom as well! As a novice church organist, this is the most helpful thing I've ever seen!
As ever, completely unpretentious, totally practical and thoroughly enjoyable. It brings back teaching myself to play a mechanical organ just like this way back in 1974.
Makes me wish I'd had more than two piano lessons at Parochial School. Two favorite mottos might apply to those trying Jonathan's book: "adapt, improvise, overcome" and "do what you can with what you have, where you are." From Chicago, U.S.A.
This will help me at weddings a lot. But I will still make sure that the couple pay the fee well before they hear me play, just to be safe.
How wonderful and you did it quickly. Very good. Congratulations! 😃
Lots of good advice here for any keyboard player, learning to accompany church services, weddings, ect. I would be very interested to see that volume on hymns you hinted at.
Oh, this is a wonderful idea!! What an excellent resource for those able to play the piano, who would like to expand their skill set & venture into organ playing! You have come up with a brilliant idea which should get more instruments used more frequently, & will hopefully prolong their useful lives. Well done Jonathan, that's another fabulous idea. I hope many people use it & save lots of instruments from deterioration! Another wonderful video Tom! Thank you both for everything that you do in the name of music!!xx
Thks Johnathon for the interesting talk & demonstrations on the organ.
Absolutely wonderful Jonathan!👏👏👏❤️
Well explained Jonathan.Very clear and concise throughout. An excellent selection of Repertoire and advice on "Waffle" !
I can’t play any musical instruments but this video is addictive as are all of your videos.Brilliant idea leading to a grand resource. Thank you.
❤super, schön so fein, so lieblich. Muss ich haben, dieses Buch, wie Reger, deine 30 Choräle, herzlichen Dank

What a fantastic idea! Great job as usual from the Scott Brothers
Simply incredible! It was a good idea, encouraging new organists and preserving many organs for future generations! Congratulations to you both for the beautiful work!
You are so right. Once-Upon-A-Time, I was co-owner of a Mooney aircraft, and when I look at some of the organs you delight us with, I wonder, where on earth does one start! Learning to fly a plane is very similar. First time in the cockpit your eyes want to cross what with all the dials and knobs; only with a organ, your feet are safely planted on the ground. Who came up with the idea of an organ? I must do some research. xx Ctesibius of Alexandria (3rd cent.) Incredible! / Goolge
I'm an organist-pilot! I agree that organs and planes are very similar. And working with an assistant in the organ loft under a conductor is very much like working with a copilot under ATC! 😃
You must have a beautiful mind. Luckily for me, I had a very talented instructor at arms length. Thank you Bernie.

You must have a beautiful brain. Luckily for me, I had a very talented and patient instructor at arms length, thank you Bernie, who trained me out of an International Air Port. Like .... tower... hold up at 5L, yield to the jumbo jet to your right. (me...yikes!), or words to that affect. Then the wash from the jet would practically roll us over. Ah, fun times.@@JSB2500
Hi dear,
delighted to greet you!
It's great news. Congratulations on your project. I hope that many people are encouraged and continue with this magnificent idea. I for one cannot say the same. In my town there is an organ abandoned and about to be taken away but there is a problem behind it and some misunderstandings...so I don't think I can do anything about it. Greetings!!❤💖❣️😘😘🤗
Very informative! Thank you for sharing!
Hi lovely thank you I remember singing the notes to tune up. Wow! Thine is the Kingdom. Singing that. I want a manual. Please. Love Janet xxx
Brilliant. Yes must safe all pipe organs. I went into Love Divine. Thank you. Fond memories of lovely music. Just ordered the book. Love Janet xxx
Thank you Scott Brothers!!! Jonathan, I think that you've touched on the joys and all of the pitfalls of playing an older instrument in the state of decline and disrepair. I've played such an instrument, and it really is an art unto itself! Ciphers, missing notes, etc......there's a work-around for most of it!!! 😄
You should definitely play more hymns, Thine be the Glory was wonderful!
i have a suggestion can You publish a video about tunning a pipe organ ?
Fabulous . Thxnk you Jonathan❤❤
Great idea to use a small organ with a few issues, and show us how to get round them. Thanks Scott!
Surprisingly compulsive viewing thank you.
Even I can play both of those Chopin preludes so maybe I should give the organ a try - trouble is the first woeful attempt would be very audible!
Don't worry about that at all! Keep the speed right down, think about the music not what the audience is thinking, feel the keys and the pedals, avoid looking at them, and keep moving forward through the music, tackling what's next not what's happened.
An airline pilot lands the plane well by thinking about landing the plane, not by thinking about what the passengers are thinking. Likewise, the organist plays the organ well by thinking about playing the organ, not by thinking about what the audience is thinking.
It's when you engage with the music and the instrument and your body playing the instrument that the audience becomes engaged too and loves your playing. It's not about playing it right or not making mistakes, it's about taking the audience on a journey they'll enjoy.
So do it! 😄
😃
Sadly the church I used to attend got rid of its small Willis pipe organ after it started to have issues. I am not a musician, but love all kinds of music, in particular pipe organs, every sumer holiday I always fitted in several organ recitals.
Nooooo, not a Willis! Hope it wasn’t listed.
sounds like a great idea! :)
Love your taste. I play youtube videos
💙
Can you also play raiders march, highland cathedral, the final countdown and last post?
Ohh goody, something else for me to butcher! 😅
We are stuck with organ music from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Is it possible to bring the 20th century into the church organ? It is hard to attract new organ students when they only hear moldy oldies and hymns.
Do you guys belong to the anglican church? Or to some other church?
Not judging or anything, just curious.
Not on a tubular pneumatic it won’t!
