  • Happy Easter 2023!!! ✝🥳🐣🌷
    THE DAY HAS COME and I'm finally posting the beloved Widor Toccata! I've only played it as a postlude a few times and will continue to work on it. For now, I ask that you overlook my errors! 😅
    I hope you all had a blessed Easter Sunday and got to celebrate it in some way! :) Alleluia!! Jesus has Risen!
    ~ Sarah 💕
    Organ info:
    "[the] Marshall & Ogletree Opus 5. [has] 65 Engraved Stops plus 98 Alternate Stops, 48 Audio Channels. Inaugurated on the Feast of the Annunciation, 2009, at Ave Maria Catholic Church, the Opus 5 Marshall & Ogletree four-manual organ was designed specifically for Ave Maria University’s Oratory, now the parish. The instrument was engineered by the best technical and organ design experts in the country. The instrument serves as both a liturgical instrument and as the principal instrument for organ instruction in the University. Its flexibility and complete versatility make it an exceptional teaching instrument. It can - without exaggeration - do anything."

    This reminds me of my experience as a young man in church at the end of a service. Normally, during the postlude ,the people (including me) would simply leave the service, talking with other people as they walked down the aisle. The postlude was background music. On this occasion, the organist played Widor's Toccata as the postlude. It was amazing. Instead of continuing down the aisle, I stopped, and sat down to LISTEN to the postlude. I was not the only one to do so. It is interesting to see in the background of this video that so many of the worshipers here are walking out instead of stopping to listen to and appreciate this superb performance.

    This is an awesome performance!! I am an advocate for our youth to study a musical instrument and the organ is not an easy one to master. I am always encouraged to see young people studying music and having the support they need to excel at doing so. What one learns in studying music is rewarding and the discipline needed to learn to play a musical instrument can be applied later in many areas later in one's life. Thank you so much for sharing this video! This lifts my soul and spirit!!

    One of the best renditions I've found online! No need to apologise.... This is a difficult piece and you ACED IT! As a famous concert artist once remarked to me: «Did you have your score open? Well, then, you don't know what I left out [or flubbed!]» and even though I have the Widor pretty well memorised no «flubs» hit me until almost the end and those spots you will master as you gain confidence as a performer. A musical person experiencing such a well-played piece would never be put off by a few tiny slips! The registration and energetic tempo were perfect.

  • @TheCLPVideos
    @TheCLPVideos Рік тому +5

    Oh you had to go there Sarah, The Tacada.😮. Every organist knows it, and many fear it, yet you took the challenge. If you can play it you know how it goes in your sleep. I have never played it perfect, I have heard famous organists play their own watered down versions, and never does anybody play it perfect. So don't beat yourself up over small imperfections, you did well! My best pointer is watch your tempo. Widor himself said the Tacada is not a race to demonstrate playing speed. It is meant to be a slower work where the artist strives for accuracy.
    May you, and your family have a blessed Easter season.

    Wow. This is a great performance in my humble opinion, and I've heard this piece hundreds of times over the past 50 years. It sounds like a wonderful instrument, and your tempo was perfect for the setting in which you were playing. I've too often heard it played too fast in very reverberant settings, resulting in just a mashup of sound. This was very clear. Well done! Keep it up.

    Fantastic. I started a project last year to get these works re edited and typesetted, and the toccata will be a blast to do 😎 Though I plan on keeping the tempo at 100 and not higher as personally I prefer the lower weighter speeds
