this is very good. i cant play . however i had a mother who did and an aunt who did extremmely well. . i hope you keep going with this not only will it be great to hear but you will be smarter and live longer
Wow please tell your Daughter that playing the Organ is an amazing thing! And she obviously knows how to play it to! I hope that it becomes engrained as a passion for her.
It's great to see another younger person playing the organ! I am 15, and I am the only one in my church besides the music director that plays organ in services. Keep it up!
Very nice organ played most proficiently. Well done - and good luck for the future, which I am sure will be great if you keep playing. I enjoyed this video very much. Let's hear more from you.
Very nice. However, it is easier to move around on the organ in slacks or a back of the knee skirt. Skin kinda sticks to the bench, been there. LOL Great work!
I'm curious about who built the organ and where it is. Nice work. Keep it up! LOTS of churches are looking for organists these days. Ask me how I know. . .
At present there are less than 230 organ majors at all the colleges and universities in the USA. If you should decide to major in organ one day, you can just about select your position and almost write your own paycheck. If organ is your passion, go for it.
Wow. Beautifully played. Keep it up and I wish you all the best.
My son Allen is 7 years old he is the one playing the Star Spangled Banner. My older son Benjamin is 15 now. He is the organist of the small church for 4 years now where we worship on Sundays. You can see him playing the organ in "supersunilraja" channel in You Tube. You may like it.
She plays very exactly and good, but also very slowly. I've heard this piece before, played by a friend, who played this very fast, and in my mind it sounds better if it is played fast.
34Bach - a real musician doesn't need to brag. In fact, many people will think that you are insecure if you brag on yourself. Be a painter of tone, a gateway through which sensitive, real music passes, and a servant of God. Humility is a thing to be learned for some people, however. Once you see those who are as good or better than you, you may begin to understand what it really means to be a musician. Encourage others and give your heart to your music.
WOW!!!, you are quite an amazing young lady and, with only 1 year of practice, you have done incredibly well. Your mum is, surely very proud of you and you certainly deserve all opportunities you get to play that wonderful "king of Instruments".
Just one request- could other videos you post show us close ups of your footwork on the pedals?, I would love to see that part of your playing and also, if you can play with open toed sandals that would be great!!!
Very good next up pedals :) those are hard to start but worse is getting both feet to play pedals at one time i've played for 3 years but just started pedals and they are pretty easy when u get used to them and practice
WONDERFUL!!!!!! Loved the song ....can you please tell me the name of it? You did a great job hon!!! Keep practicing! Then you can become a member of the American Organist Guild like me! :)
And just a quick comment (I know this is a waste but...) she never used the Swell manual, only the Great and some Pedal. And I agree with Polsterj, there just wasn't enough bass. But as I said before, it was very good!
Oh my, aboslutly wonderful! I am just about where she is in this video. I am 13, I play piano (and taught myself from taht organ) I have an organ at home, have played at church, but I doubt I have the same amount of skill she has. Then again, I have a 1-octave organ and not nearly as many stops as this has. But even still, all I have to say is this is wonderful and I have something to comapre it to so I know what it is like!
I'm 15, but I'm more of an organ designer than a player. But still, GREAT JOB!!! If my school's 7-manual monster is ever built, PLEASE drop by and play it!
Well done! We would like to encourage all the young organists who we see commenting here to come and play on the organ at Hammerwood Park if ever you come to England!
This is so wonderful to see young kids interested in playing the organ. It really is a cool thing to do, especially because you're praising God! The first time I sat at the console of the organ at my home parish, I was there for four hours before I realized it and started playing for weekday Masses only two months later. Keep it up, Hannah - the rewards are unreal.
Hi my name is Don VerKuilen.. i am 14 and i am a concert organist myslef... i am and active member of the a.g.o. I really like your piece i remember playing that same one along time ago. I am now a composer i have done 3 organ symphoies.. if you would like i can send you the scores to try and play... i would love to talk to you and to get to know you ... because you dont fine to many organists you can have as friends at our age .lol
I'm 14 too but I play Widor, Tournemire, Vierne, Gigout, Reger, Prokofieff and so on. In 2006 I played at the noon prayer in the cologne cathedral. The organ has 139 speaking stopps. The have an 64'-stop. It's the "Vox balaena 64'. Also they have high pressure stops: The "Tuba episcopalis 8'" and the "Tuba capitularis 8'". This organ is the greatest organ in the world !!!
I´m 15 and I come from Austria. I think too that the organ at cologne Cathedral is one of the greatest instruments i ever heard. I´m working on Duprés Variations sur Noel at the moment, quite difficult piece but great! Moreover I play Vierne´s sixth symphony (great piece!) I´m organist at a church where the pieces you play during mass are presented on a sheet...a very rare thing in Austria!
Ok, the organ in cologne is good, but as with all klais-organs, a deep, rumbling bass is missing (a Contrabombarde 32' would be perfect). The 64' is only acoustic!
Hey, I'm 14, I started playing when I'm twelve too. Have you played much Bach? I started out with "Vater Unser un Himmelriech" It's a great piece written in trio, so it's a bit tough. I'm working the G Minor fugue right now. From 0:17-0:49, since the acoustics in the room aren't too much, you can really add some speed there, just make sure it doesn't get muddy. Is that piece in Wayne Leupold's First Organ Book? If so, I think you would like "Galleries Ancien" It's very fanfare-ish. Great Stuff!!
A small piece of advice for Hannah from a fellow Organist, NEVER play an interval smaller than an octave in the pedal with the reeds, because the sounds "argue" and it doesn't sound right. Great playing and congratulations to her on the Organ Festival rating.
Indeed that is true, but when it is done with reeds, sometimes it sounds awful and you hear a big sort of audio argument between the two reed pipes, with flues it is good because thats the pipes you get resultant stops with, not with reeds. I learnt this from an Organ Builder.
On Cavaille-Coll Organs it sounds amazing, and various other builds, but builds like this, with very electronic sounding reeds, it doesn't sounds very nice, but its all a matter of taste I suppose.
Very well played!! Don't take any notice of people like Turboknightrider - It is correct to play with shoes and playing without is bad for your technique, and is mainly done by amateurs!
My shoes have high heels so I can reach. I have tried barefoot but am falling off the bench trying to reach the pedals. No I'm the only one who plays organ.
32 dislikes because those are the one who cannot play an instrument. I give you many thumbs up! Wonderful playing.
