[Michaelxxx1936]

Well done William. The Bach's Air seems to break my heart each time I hear it. Thank you.

[MrBarryknoll]

[icappel]

The minor section is amazing on the organ.

[lovesvivienleigh]

Such achingly lovely music!

[hengcc]

I feel like floating in the air. Very soothing to my frayed nerves.

[hengcc]

Beautiful music sends me to heaven.

[chrishorry]

[beckysamson]

William! You are amazing, I can't stop listening to you play this beautiful piece. You look cool and also professional :) I wish I could meet you..

[ParadisoFinale]

Why are you using two manuals? Why not pedal? Drop the sunglasses friend!

BTW, what was the manufacture of the Organ?

[willjustice89]

@bobbycv64 Hiya, bub =] Appreciate that comment. hmm.. I have played w/ so many pipe organs that I don't want to tell you wrong.. I'm not sure.. but I BELIEVE that this one is a Casavant Organ.. but you know .. to know for certain.. I have another video on here entiteld " History of Organ Design Part 1 of 4".. and I speak to the organist about this organ. He'll tell all if you're interested in knowing a bit about it.

[AtemnoYugi1232]

Wasn't this the Beatrice Miller arrangment?

[willjustice89]

@AtemnoYugi1232 Yes it was. =] Intended originally for Piano. heh.

[Silvermine7]

oh, the sunglasses....comment 1 - a joke (obviously 'a joke - FAIL')

I kinda have this strange unease with sunglasses being either worn or seen inside...

AND...I think I may have found out why yesterday while doing some online research re: ET by Katy Perry (the song that may have permanently put me off popular music for the rest of my life)...just type Draco, reptilian, Annunaki, or sunglasses at night (not the song) - and I assure you there is NO lack of opinions on YT!

btw also a William

[willjustice89]

@Silvermine7 OH! I see! lol. My bad :P heh. Maybe I'm just naive XD. I actually forgot all about the darn sunglasses. lol.

And hey! KatyPerry's ET is amazing :P

[Silvermine7]

No, pardon me...being flip (it is two forty five in the morning after all), but then again, being flip is preferable to sarcasm, right?

At least you weren't actually WEARING your sunglasses - that would have been very suspect indeed...

Nice Job William

[willjustice89]

@Silvermine7 Perhaps I'm missing something. heh. What is it about the sunglasses?

[Silvermine7]

This is surprisingly good for somebody wearing sunglasses on his head



[willjustice89]

@Silvermine7 lol.... pardon?? :P

[MrRafaelamadeumilani]

@Silvermine7 prejudice!

[AngloAm]

The German lyrics are so much nicer than the English ones. :/

[masschadejong]

Beautifull!!

[ww245]

Learn to play those bass parts on those pedals and you'll love it. Nice job with what you did here!

[willjustice89]

@ww245 lol* =] I've learned them now. This video is SO outdated =]

[TheJenniejen]

I love hearing you play this song.  You have done a wonderful job with it. Thank you for posting your work!

[AnimeAddiction18020]

i can play this omg, except with the bottom cords and footpetals, and i have a thomas oran not pipe, but your really good :D

[willjustice89]

@AnimeAddiction18020 I appreciate your comment. Yeah, I enjoy this piece a lot. I think this is one of those pieces that ALL pianists/organists need to learn =]

[dana150383]

Very nice performance. May i have the copy of the sheet music for Jesu Joy of Man Desiring? Please kindly send to my email: d4na_n@yahoo.com. Thanks.

[Philovideo]

Very nice performance! I love this piece of music! One of my favorites. Thanks!

[clemen96]

Very well done your interpretation ..... Could you get me a copy of the sheet music for Jesus Joy of Man Desiring to organ? I've tried to get but sometimes here in Mexico is somewhat difficult ... I would appreciate it if you pass me.

[Michaelxxx1936]

Super job. Always nice to hear this. Lovely rendition. Thank you.

[ThomasJamesAlford]

I played this on the piano at a wedding last summer! (Compass Lake UMC, Florida)

[willjustice89]

@ThomasJamesAlford =] Amazing piece to perform for a wedding, Is it not? =] I love it! You have a YouTube vid of your performance?

[ThomasJamesAlford]

@willjustice89 - sadly, no

[willjustice89]

@ThomasJamesAlford TIME FOR ONE =]

[ThomasJamesAlford]

@willjustice89 - hey will, we just posted a new rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy" from last night's service (Ridgecrest Baptist Church, Dothan) ... i'm on the 2nd row, bass

[Gene4310]

Nice tempo!!!! Bravo!!!

[WJM015]

Bach=The Best.

Great performance.

[Lynnnily]

very nice!

[Marianofrv]

Beautifully done congratulations

[tangnatalaga]

EXCELLENT!!!!

[kdadnick]

Just thought you'd like to know your tempo and keyboard work is perfect accompaniment when I practice the Chorale section as a handbell solo. ;-)

Thanks.

[willjustice89]

@kdadnick Hey, appreciate that :) Thx! Glad to hear! People like you keep me wanting to post more* You're the best of the rest! :)

[butchscorner]

Again loved it. Thanks.

[koroush7]

Hum, very beautiful, very well done, excellent!!! The only flaw in this video is the lack of pedal base, I think you could have played notes-G and D all over pedals even when there was no pedal music on sheet, cause the entire cantata has only G&D or should I write like D&G(Dolce& Gabbana)lol!!as pedal or base harmony!! But still Awesome!!Thank you for making me happy and you look so serious but yet stunning as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[christopherspiano23]

oh you add a simple pedal part to chorale portions of the pieces . also its seems like your sitting up on the bench i know your tall but is the bench adjusted too high? the great manual should be no higher or lower from your breast bone .. also elbows smooth and connected on organ you have no sustain pedal so you have to make everything smooth and connected. finger substitution comes into play here. all in all i like it

[christopherspiano23]

good ! needs some pedal! but thats ok i love the editing that you have done with it

[willjustice89]

@christopherspiano23 I'm reading a Piano Composition.. there ARE no pedals to read. :) - Read The Music As It Is Written.

[69395]

this is fantastic William,

Very nice job, you are very talented:)
