hmm can you go little slower in tempo and use some softer stops..as to the person who commented on transcribing orchestral music for organ it was because most cities did not have full orchestras therefore to hear the latest hits of the time you went to an organ concert where a skilled organist played "the hit" hence most town halls in europe had a full organ
This was a very poor interpretation of the minuet. There was no life or feeling in it. You played the notes but they didn't connect in any remote way with the body of the music.
Try soft 8 & 4 flutes in the Great with a Gedackt and Oboe in the swell. Bourdon16 in the pedal.
Never mind the volume. It is a minuet.
If you don't feel the music it just won't work. Good luck.
Why do people make organ versions of great tunes? They're so boring to listen to - I feel as if I'm at a funeral service! I much prefer the orchestral version of this piece by Handel.
in the name of God slow down....

because not always there is a full-blown orchestra available.
It's a question of skills and cost, comprende?
Same reason goes for piano versions for your home (ante-grammophone times).
A small parish is way better off with having a good organist (like the one in the video) than a mediocre small orchestra. Or nothig at all.
