Making money is not my primary objective. After expenses are taken into consideration, remaining revenue is invested back into BEAUTY IN SOUND. Audio and visual equipment is expensive, and I also pay a fair fee to all recitalists who appear on BIS. This is why I regularly ask YOU to help, and I’m sorry for having to do so. I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.

I think you’ll really like my Music of Cathedrals compilation: ua-cam.com/video/b9iUGquoNgY/v-deo.htmlsi=d2DG_yNiow5J5yeK ❤

some of my favs sometimes you cant beat a classic banger of a hymn (i think thats where some modern churches go wrong i love playing these on the organ my self
Adoráveis Sensacionais 💗💓💞💕❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎❤🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
i need a car for church adoration then i ask god to see my guy
our dads barber shop needs your singing
I've lost track of how many times I've enjoyed these hymns of praise.
My 84 year old dad walked into my house when I had this going loudly. He didn't call out for me he sat and enjoyed the music till I came into the room and saw him
Traditional hymns of old are simply the BEST and you played them very well, the way the should be played.
Great organ, brilliant organist and wonderful hymns. Perfect combination! Thank you so much. 26th Feb 2024
I live in Texas and I have never been in a church building as grand as the one you played the magnificent hymns at. How can anyone not be spiritually awakened and totally committed to Christ in such a Heavenly environment? If I resided near this church, I would attend every service. Already, just after the first two songs played, my voice is going out, from singing along. Never have my ears heard such a stately version of Praise The Lord, The Almighty. One of my favorite songs is Eternal Father, Strong To Save, because I would not had been born, had my father not been saved after a ship he served on sank. Thank you Mr McVeigh for caring enough to preserve our Christian heritage through these amazing videos. May God cause a special blessing come to you for your devotion to Christ and service to His church family around the world.
beautifully written! I will never take the cathedrals in my homeland for granted again! greetings from across the pond
Music of the spheres
There is something Majestic about pipe organs, such beautiful melodies! To God be all Glory, honor, and Praise!!
Many thanks and Blessings to the Organist!
I m a 60's,70's,& 80's Christian..still am thanks to this beautiful music
Our rural southeastern Ohio 120 year old church still has its pipe organ and we still sing the old hymns. We are extremely fortunate.
Yes you are!
Ah, the hymns of yesteryear that I miss so much. Our churches in America have pretty much gone to praise songs. Some of the praise songs are okay, but I fear most will not be remembered or hummed 20 years from now. It makes me sad that we've robbed the younger generation of our hymn/psalm heritage.
Good churches do the great hymns of our historical past; good churches do proper praise songs; GREAT churches do BOTH. And there are so very few doing both.....
We sing these hymns in my church
@@janetkornfeld8962 Good churches sing the traditional hymns; good churches use contemporary hymnody. Great churches do BOTH.
Bom dia! 🇧🇷 Estes hinos fazem parte de nosso hinário luterano aqui no Brasil. Trabalho com um grupo de jovens em minha igreja da qual sou organista a vários anos. Com.os jovens trabalhou com músicas de banda. Mas para minha surpresa eles se interessa muito por estas músicas mais tradicionais de nosso hinário. Que são verdadeiras obras clássicas de Bach Bethovem Handel entre outros compositores. Fico feliz por estes jovens se interessar por músicas tradicionais da igreja cristã. As melodias são lindas e as letras baseadas em textos bíblicos. E isto transmite uma mensagem bela!!!
@@neuzeliasbahrmilke369 That is very encouraging. In my own life, we left our traditional, orthodox church in 2006 for a theological reason and joined a parish that uses mostly contemporary Christian music. Our son didn't care for it and remains to this day at our former church who uses only organ, liturgy and classic hymnody. He loves the ancient ways and I support that, except when he belittles our church's musical style. I remind him that good churches do only orthodox, traditional liturgy and hymns and that good churches do solid Christian contemporary musical style but GREAT CHURCHES find a way to DO BOTH. "Something for everyone" is not a bad concept, even within the church but it IS very heartening to know that, like me, so many yet prefer the hymns and pipe organs of old. Thank you for sharing that.
The organ will always remain the best musical instruments!
When played by an expert, the effect is transcendental!
So hypnotic!
Man is certainly made in the image and likeness of God!
I am one of the fortunate ones whose American church sings almost all of these hymns on a regular basis. And our organ is a 4 manual 94 rank Casavant of recent vintage.
Our American organist got his degrees from both Yale and Eastman before spending a few years as the first organ scholar at Royal Albert Hall and then on to Canterbury Cathedral as the Assistant Organist. Somebody in our congregation quietly and anonymously ponied up quite a chunk of change to steal him away! But it also shows the cut of cloth we have for a senior pastor that this sort of music is what we desired to have to truly worship God.
The choir consists of multiple music majors from the local University and far more members with music degrees already logged in our backgrounds. We are blessed. And in East Texas we truly are a one-of-a-kind church!
For our Fine Arts Series, we recently had Peter Holder of Westminster Abbey perform. It was heart stopping! Having played at the funerals of both Prince Phillip and then Queen Elizabeth, he next played for Charles’ coronation.
As my 88 year old mother had watched Elizabeth’s coronation live 70 years ago on a tiny black and white TV, and then her funeral services live again now, this concert by Peter was for her the ultimate capstone to mark both ends of that remarkable era of history which she had lived completely through that exceeded even that of Queen Victoria. It’s been weeks now but she’s still floating on air.
As I said, we are blessed. And grateful.
Wow…yes what a delightful blessing. If you don’t mind sharing, what church in East Texas? If not, that’s okay. Just curious. I live in the Panhandle of West Texas.
@@judithhardin2783 I’m at First Presbyterian Church in Tyler, TX. We have a IV/94 Casavant organ and the church stole our organist from Canterbury Cathedral where he was the First Assistant Organist. He had also been an organ scholar at a couple of other English cathedrals and was in fact the first organ scholar at the Royal Albert Hall. His degrees stateside are from Eastman and Yale after being introduced to the organ at Interlochen. He’s currently also now working on a as DMA in harpsichord at North Texas.
Awesome video Richard! Thank you! You are by far the best organist that I have heard in my 72 years!
I am mesermized with the beautiful hymns you have been playing. The organ is the best musical sound to listen to as we are in touch with God. Some hymns bring tears to my eyes and the beautiful churches in England are delight to my soul thank you.
PIPE ORGAN ! THE KING OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS! SO POWERFUL!
Impressive! Glorious, deeply moving and inspirational. A true praise of our Almighty God and Savior. May music like this inspire the Christians of the world to unite in common purpose to witness our Faith, live a purposeful and Holy life in the face of the difficult and awful tribulations of the current time.
I thank the Lord that I can attend a church where hymns are sung to the tunes from such a magnificent instrument to the glory and honour of God Almighty
Perfect! I Can’t stop listening to this compilation! Always waiting for your latest live videos. May God bless you and thank you!
Wonderful! 18 years old and going to bed listening to hymns, after having been to church this morning! Rather good :)
Gott segen dich! 🙂
Yes, rather good! Happy days to you.
God Bless You, Brother! 16 and same ❤️

I'm worshiping with this beautiful organ music as I'm snowed in on Reformation Sunday in Colorado. It is truly a gift of heavenly music. Thank You
Just what we all need .
Loving hearing and knowing these glorious hymns is so inspiring and lifting it so suppose to bring one closer to God music being the language of the soul the Godly spiritual music especially played on the pipe organ divinely brings me closer to God in Nassau Bahamas love it
This awesome music reminds us of our priceless heritage as Christians, and especially those of us of English descent. No more ennobling hymns have ever been, or will ever be written for the great pipe organs of England, and the featured organist is amazing. Watching him is to see a man completely involved with the great organ to create music in praise of GOD.
Being secular, I absolutely love church organ hymns, taking solace in the unfailing grace of the music.
I missed the Pipe Organ! You are playing well and the Hymns that you have chosen to play are so solemn. Great. God Bless you. Keep it up!
Truly wonderful. Thank you Richard for sharing your testimony of Jesus Christ with the world in such a selfless way.
A gifted man who loves to play, thank you and God bless your work.
What a joyful experience it is to hear these hymns. The excellence glorifies God. Thank you for this gift.
There is no music more inspirational or worth my listening!
Rousing and inspirational hymn playing!! I love your use of the 32's, 64's and the En Chamades!! If heaven exists then let me enter the gates with this.
Organ music- a brief glimpse of the heavenly glories awaiting us!
I cannot stop listening! I am in heavenly communion with our Lord as I listen to your magnificent playing. Blessings to you and your family!❤
❤️I could feel your music! God Bless you ! Give me tears of Joy!
The Holy-music causes us to reflect on the all-mighty through our day: may he inspire and guide us in all ways through our lives.💐
This is a beautiful program. Well worth pausing and taking the time to listen and sing if so moved!
Great and wonderful hymns. God bless
🙏
Praise the Lord with stringed instruments and organs (from Psalm 150).
Brilliant .these will cheer everybody up.i was hoping you tube would put this on..
I can’t sing through my tears.
My late father was an organist and he played many of these. It brings back so many good memories.😢
Sterkte!
Time to get back into our churches and show love
I'm loving it so nice p hope to talk to you someday feature my name is Richard Richard to I'm rich because I listen to Rich music played by Richard McVey😅❤❤
Same. Those words come back from 70 years of hearing and singing them.
Thanks for these favorite hymns. Thanks for the words to sing along also.
This is the best video yet !!!!!! First went to Europe in 1995 to ride motorcycles through the Alps. Would always start in Munich. Been there about 13 times over the years. Each time I would spend a little less time on the bike & a little more time in the cathedrals listening to those great organs. The best sound in the world. Big thanks for taking me back to those days. Excellent sound & camera work. As close as I can get to being there, even gave me goosebumps. It is that good.
Master Ricard playing these beautiful hyms with passion which stirs my sould....feeling the spirit of God all over me. Blessing to you Richard. We love the hymns... greetings to wife and child.
Beautiful video. Never been a believer but no other religion touches christianity...may it flourish and never die.
God welcomes us, through Jesus Christ. The door is open for you! ✝️
0:00 Start
2:47 Praise to the Lord
3:41 Thine be the glory
1:04:46 Jesus Chris is risen today
Humble Holy songs for Bible study 😊
I remember singing some of these, its wonderful to hear them again played with such skill and emotion. My Uncle Jim would had loved this so much. Also, thank you for the words so I could sing along. Very uplifting. Peace and love to all.
I have truly been blessed today listening to the great hymns played on the King of Instruments. It was a much needed enhancement to my Sunday worship. Your ministry gift is simply amazing. God bless you, and thank you. 🙏
MAGNIFICENT!! 100x's over! I keep returning to this video & it is even MORE wonderful with each playing... Is that possible? YES, indeed! As I listen to this glorious music, I "tour" these amazing cathedrals. Thank you for this holy gift of sight & sound for all listeners.
When Richard played "O Thou Who Camest From Above" I lost it again. God only knows how lovely that piece of music is and what it does to my heart and soul when I hear it played so perfectly on the Pipe Organ Thank you Sir Richard Mc
An impressively prompt response to my comment on Llandaf! I’m afraid my hasty comment on the really important aspect, the music, was somewhat cursory. This is a fine collection, beautifully played with well chosen registrations and perfectly judged tempi. Thank you.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with these glorious hymns on the pipe organ.
I love this music!!!
But....also the very nice socks😊😂 ❤
This was just lovely thank you. As I was working in the kitchen, I had this playing in the background. Nothing beats the old hymns played by an organ, in my thoughts!
❤❤❤❤
What a nostalgic trip, spellbinding in sound and vision, where has our nation gone? These beautiful buildings so empty today. Superb control of these lovely instruments, a pleasure to watch.
Watching tonight in Southern Australia - have been unwell, and these pieces, so well known and so much loved, are truly a healing spirit for mind and soul. Thank you Richard - I'd love to be there in some of those remarkable English churches - such amazing heritage!
So much nostalgia. I remember almost all of these hymns from school in the 60s and 70s. Thank you.
You know, you could still hear them every Sunday if you went back to church…. 😆
What a blessing it would be if these hymns were taught again at school now.
@@xodrinkerInstead children and youth are taught agendas and listen to putrid rap music
@@oscarfabi_oh FFS put your pearls down 🙄
@@ExplodingPiggy No, it goes against my conscience to deny that this generation among whom I also am guilty is heading towards destruction. Tankfully God saved a wretched sinner like me, glory be to Christ!
Geoffrey Griffith watching in Philadelphia.usa formerly of all saints Anglican church choirs in Barbados west indies oh i thank mr Richard McVeigh so very much his organ music have me in a joyous Jesus happiness i am so excited for this great gifted God given master organist that hymn praise to God the almighty was our school hymn on my school boy days in the 1960 ties may God let you carry on in your playing days not too many organist like mr McVeigh live to you sir God bless keep on filling my heart amen.
Thank you.
Thank you.
A visual and auditory delight! Beautiful.
(My mother and I used to enjoy watching and listening to Diane Bish perform, a TV program years ago.) The hymns were so beautifully played. Blessings.
Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful instruments! Such beautiful offering!
You just made my morning! 🎶☕🌿
Thank you for these wonderful hymns
played on this pipe organ! ( Nothing better,except for maybe bagpipes ❤️)
Thank you so much. Not only for the musical journey but watching a master performing. Enjoyed viewing the ecclesiastical buildings immensely. Like so many others commenting, I grew up on these hymns in the 1950’s and 1960’s. The words are still imprinted on my brain. Added to my playlist. Many , many thanks again. Sending you blessings for your musical ministry. By the way seeing the Epstein statue at Llandaff cathedral was especially memorable for me.
I was an organist in different Methodist churches in North India 1972-2022, conducted college choir as well. I enjoyed work thoroughly , requires great commitment since padre depends on you, people expect organ music what ever time & weather, you are taken for granted. Never the less, I enjoyed serving & joked away negative comments with other organists. God bless all
Greetings from Bangalore, I worship at the Indiranagar Methodist Church from 1974,where my father was organist for 16 years,he’s in heaven enjoying this, glad to know you were an organist too .
Super duper Richard!!! Thankyou for starting with that glorious hymn. We love it!! Oh and of course you too and BIS!!
Your videos are so inspiring, and this one is top notch! These instruments are so very beautiful to hear and to see. I studied about pipe organs when I was younger (1970's) and never dreamed I would ever get to hear and see so many well known and beautiful instruments! Yet, 50 years or so later, here I am, experiencing a dream come true on your channel. Yes, you do make a difference!
Your performances are always a delight to hear and watch (love the PIP pedal work). You put out so many beautiful videos on UA-cam... all I can say is
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
WOW!!
Sir,you certainly unleashed the beast on the last verse of For all the saints' This music 🎶 transports me to the heavens!! May God richly bless you as you use your gift to glorify Him!!!!!!
Maestro you put me in a total trance, I’am absolutely mesmerized by your command of the King of all instruments God love you and take care of you so you can play for all his children With much love w respect Richard USA 🇺🇸
MUY BONITOS HIMNOS, SALUDOS DESDE SAN FELIPE DEL PROGRESO, ESTADO DE MÉXICO🇲🇽. DIOS LOS BENDIGA, SHALOM🙏.
So beautiful🌹🌹🌹Thank You so very much!
The Best! Beautiful!!!
Two of my favorite All Saints hymns. For All The Saints and I sing a song of the saints of God. Every all saints for 20+ years. They brought tears to my eyes. Thinking about my late wife.
Those are my favorites too! I’m so sorry for your loss, Robert. You will see her again someday. God Bless You ❤️ Prayers and love to you
Gorgeous and wonderfully expressed renditions of some truly powerful hymnody....and I'm thrilled to see another organists playing pedals without shoes!!! You do a wonderful job pulling stops and keeping the music going. God bless.
Awsome! Must be so ecstatic to play such a magistral instrument that takes up a whole city centre! Wish I was there to enjoy it live. Thank you so much for your play and recording!
Masterful work, sir! Love hearing the rich sounds of your chords produced on that amazing creation of mankind and of God. I also love watching you work...I have played pianos and organs by ear since my earliest recollections, so I can appreciate first hand your total command. Fascinating and inspiring...thank you and best regards from the USA.
My husband plays the organ every Sunday, two services.
It’s amazing how many people are so thankful that he plays and that our church uses a lot of hymns and then a little bit of the new ones. There’s nothing like an organ in a church. And heartbreaking. If there’s an organ, they don’t even use.
Just found this ama,ing channel. Thank you Richard for bringing these wonderfu! hymns to us on these magnificent instruments. For me, this is how worship should be.
Thank you dear Richard, God bless you - and tahnk you for starting with the incomparable "Jerusalem", you have brought much joy and the Spirit of the true and Almighty LIVING GOD.
Such a tonic to hear these hymns I grew up with in school many moons ago! and so sad today's youth haven't a clue' it's a new kind of loneliness in the words of Bjorn Ulvaeus.
Wonderful program. Richard, thank you for putting this together.
Richard you are magical on the pipe organ. I know the hymns so well, having gone to boarding school in Hastings NZ in 1950's!!. Our son sends your videos from London. Many thanks.
Thank you!
I have always been a great fan of organ music, and now at 74 I listen to it all.
Great music, that of the hymns and sensational organs, exceptional organist, who causes joy in listening.
Thank you very much for this amazing music. It keeps me going at work and connects me to God often.
Good view of the organ's tracker mechanism at 29:40.
I love this music, and want to say I appreciate you. I can listen to this in peace, while reading and organizing files. Thank you sir. 🙂👍❤
Beautiful
Really cool ... amazing. Just playng ever and ever again ....🎹
For All the Saints!
Love this; our church took out our organ and now rarely play older music....I can worship at home and enjoy organ music.
Thank you Richard for another wonderful VC. Sunday is not complete without Virtual Church, and today you did not disappoint.
May all the blessings of this joyful season be with you and your family 💕
Really enjoyed relistening to these hymns and will relisten in the future. Blessings.
This compilation of favorite hymns on all the different organs in different cathedrals is absolutely incredible❣️I love these hymns we seldom sing anymore❣️ The most meaningful one though is “It is well with my soul”, I’m always sobbing by the end of the first line. That was one of my Mom’s favorite hymns and one the 12 of us sang at her funeral. It will be three years tomorrow since she went to be with her Lord and I can hardly see to type this through my tears. I miss her so much and it will always hurt that she spent her last 11 days alone in the hospital and we weren’t allowed to come and say goodbye.
I’m just so grateful that you are performing and producing these videos, they fill a hole in my soul that’s been there a long time. Thank you and God bless you, Caroline, Hugo and your new baby❣️
And I love your cats, we are a two cat family as well❣️😻😻
My heart goes out to you... May God grant you comfort in knowing that the separation is just for a little while, but the Great Reunion is FOREVER!
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
Hermosa música y excelente interpretación ❤❤❤
My grandfather's brother (Herbert Hughes) wrote The Sally Gardens; I didn't know it had been adapted into a hymn.
Thank you for the work you put into this. Excellent, solid material you have chosen. When I saw the title of the video, I thought it must surely more of those popular, happy-clappy, tin-horn ditties which have so swamped the music of the church here in the United States for the last hundred years or more (largely the result of American Revivalist movements of the 18th-19th centuries.). Thank goodness, you broke that mold and gave us the grand music ! I think it was St Augustine of Hippo who wrote, "He who sings, prays twice." I grew up with the great, traditional hymnody of the Anglo-Catholic C-of-E world, and finding it here again in your video gives me great delight. Thank you, Sir, from a Traditionalist in the Queen's often-uncultured and often-uncouth Colonies !
Let all the world in every corner sing! I love this; thanks so much!
Masterpiece after masterpiece ❤ I love these!!
So beautiful!! Thank You🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
What i,ve wanted for years x yearsx didnt realise! Tunes that should be used all the time , i,ve been putting hymn words to salley gardens for years! And forty days i used as a lullaby tune when rocking my baby son. Thank you so very much.may you all have the happiness you’ve brought je. With love karen
Great music and camerawork to match ... -- thanks for a heart-warming experience. ❤
Awesome hymns played by the pipe organist. If it is so nice to hear here in the churches, how wonderful it will be in Heaven when this hymns are sung!! I'm proud to be a Christian!!!
Oh! These hymns are magnificent! I praise God that His glory is revealed in this music. This brings me back to my youth when I sat in church, misty eyed because of the wonderous hymns that I heard on the organ with a large congregation singing loudly and joyfully. It really takes me back and makes me long for those days again. I'm so thankful for Richard McVeigh's gift of musicality and organ playing that I don't think can be taught--it is indeed a gift he has and shares with us. He has such insights into each hymn--as he plays, I can hear the majesty of the words and the weight of meaning in each hymn. I will indeed click on the link organist McVeigh gave us of the "Music of Cathedrals compilation." This has become my favorite place online. Blessings to all. 3/1/24
