A Trumpet Minuet

[liza88888888]

Dr. Christiansen is a genius at the organ. He plays with such beautiful interpretaion of the music. It is truly magical to hear him play live!

[AndyZuluKing]

@wurlitzer895 first of all, it's

DR Christiansen. The man has vast experience and he inde

ed plays this piece very well.

[wurlitzer895]

I've read all the comments with the greatest interest, and have to say that I disagree with a lot of them!! To my ears this is not a good performance. Quite apart from the finger slips, his rhythm and timing are all over the place and go far beyond what could politely be termed rubato or interpretation. Indeed they are so erratic as to be off-putting. Mr Christiansen has badly misjudged and misunderstood the nature of this charming and light-heated English miniature.

[Chesterbarnes1]

I think Clay Christiansen plays this better than any I've heard. His timing, and tempo is right on the mark!

[whitecloadsscareme1]

im trying to find a video of this song being played where the camera is pointing at the pipe organ pipes that have an orange lights right behind them

[silverstartrucker]

I do like this very much...

[Chesterbarnes1]

Yes, the "great" Diane Bish, any comments on that adjective?

[brb21592]

the audio on this recording has gone bad..its disatant and doesnt have the intensity it did before...? maybe its my stereo??

[praestant8]

Placing mics infront of a high pressure hooded reed = not a good idea. Fun contrast of a couple solo reeds. Not the best I've ever heard Clay play but oh well. I wouldn't want to be doing all of that pedaling with cameras at my feet either.

[Chesterbarnes1]

I have heard this piece many times but Clay plays this better than anyone yet. Even the great Diane Bish can't touch his sweet performance on this piece of music. Watch his head and timing

[ahmelmahe]

Did you say, "the great Diane Bish", or was that simply a typo?

[dannypurtell]

Hollins Concert Overture no1 in C minor, a must listen !!! absolutely fantastic piece!!!

[41dtrain]

Of all the Trumpet Minuets on You Tube .. Clay performs it the best ... would make the composer proud!

[bobjoneschester1]

Wonderful piece - pedal very difficult - and Alfred Hollins, the composer, was blind

[organpipe8]

Beautiful - thanks Clay - Lance ♫ ♪ ♫

[ahmelmahe]

Aeolian Skinner's greatest instrument! This organ has voices that will bring tears to your eyes and Clay Christiansen did this great instrument proud! BRAVO!!

[lostnyc2]

I had the opportunity to play a couple of pieces on this organ about 12 years ago, it was quite an experience! For one thing the sound goes in the ear facing the organ, and about 5 sec's later it bounces back from the other end of the room into the OTHER ear. It was so confusing I had to play about half the tempo.

[DeutschlandBettina]

Großartig. Wo findet man Informationen zu dieser Musik?

[frarozu]

I love the Tabernacle Organ, it's beautiful.

It's the most beautiful Pipe Organ in the World

[RogerSquawk]

my trumpet teacher is in this orchestra

[joeyboi87]

wonderful piece, apparently alfred hollins was resonsible for the creation of the organ at caird hall in dundee

[cromorne]

The reeds on this particular instrument are beautiful.

[fluteceleste]

Wonderful piece, wonderful organ, love the Trumpets.

[azapachekid]

one of the finest organs in the world and home to The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The broadcast if from Music and The Spoken Word, the longest continous radio program in the world, first began in July 1929 and still on the air each Sunday.

[contratromba858]

That's not quite accurate. The world's longest running weekly radio broadcast is from the Grand Ole Oprey in Nashville, TN. Is began in 1925.

[Judkins04]

The Grand Ole Oprey began broadcasting prior to Music and the Spoken Word, however it has not run continuously week-after-week since then. Music and the Spoken Word has.
