Calvary Church Pipe Organ - A Mighty Fortress

[germanlutheran1]

Dr Ore's parents where members of my Dad's church in Iowa, he came to give a recital on our Hinner's tracker organ what a pleasure in the middle of nowhere

[duanekent1]

Great recording. This is one of my favorite hymns and I often play it on the organ. However, my skills are no where near that of the artist in this recording.

[higherpoweredone]

Bravo! A tribute to God...

[Justintime4math]

The quality of the recording is perhaps the best I've ever heard. So clear, no distortion, dynamics and tone seem unaffected from what it would've sounded like live, VERY NICE!

[organmom54]

I was one of his students, also! What a blessing to me! I enjoy his creative style with hymn tunes!

[artkittie]

Dr. Ore played for our wedding 23 years ago. It was a pleasure to listen to him every Sunday.

[wrightrevj]

I used to work with Charles Ore. Imagine hearing this great stuff twice each Sunday!

[duncanmacster]

It is an amazing instrument and the virtuosity of the organist is in no doubt. But to a layman like me I so want to hear it thunder out the hymn in a form that I can recognise and sing along with. 2.41 is kind of where I like it!

[20jonboy08]

2:41 to 3:04 = sheer amazingness!

[picchi93]

2:41 WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[petelinca]

Um arranjo muito especial do Hino CASTELO FORTE, oficial das igrejas protestantes no mundo inteiro. Magistral!!!

[doothless]

Heaven will have 10,000 pipe organs...glorious pipe organs. I promise!

[Jetli390]

@doothless That and more! And Angels that can out-sing them!

[helloitsmelol097]

I wish I could go play this organ right now. I love hearing amazing instruments like this. Hopefully I will master in music and go places and play new instruments like this one

[pianomancuber91]

2:17 !!!!!!!  EPIC WIN

Tip for all fellow YouTubers:

At the end of the url address listed in your address bar  add the following: &fmt=18 and press enter, this will enhance the sound.

@ARFRC1 I tried this and could detect no difference. Maybe it's my 6 year old computer

[winnip]

One of the best contemporary arrangements of Luther's classic hymn...Charles Ore always puts a fresh twist on the oldies but goodies. Check out his "What A Friend We Have In Jesus"...more of a concert piece, depending on your church...

Nice playing.

[jensmom604]

If there isn't a pipe organ in heaven, I'm not staying!

[light4darkness]

@jensmom604 where the hell you going?

I'll build my own if there isn't one already.

[proffromgview]

The melody is in there someplace.... ;(

[ThePipeorganman]

THANK GOD MOLLER organs are making a come aroud great video thank you.

[nickoicool]

Great organ, but they need to re do the acoustics that place!

[Proxx99]

Its the best we got =]. i work on sound at that church and we recently, this year installed 65 acoustic panels in various places around the balconies and the ceiling so we're working on it

[unc7480]

precious, in the strictest sense.

[dragonkilla174]

i go to that church and i must say it is a privelage hearing that organ play on sunday mornings

[theaterpipe1]

That was beautiful!

[bombarde1701]

This was a great CD

[RampGuy1]

Although these are nice photos, I would prefer to have seen a video of the organist playing this piece.

[emb0614]

I totally agree. It is always best to see the organist plays these enormous organs.

[DeadEyeSprout]

i've played this organ, and attempted this piece of music on the organ, VERY complicated piece it's in 15/16 time signature

[passacaglia28]

What an impressive organ!

[miriamruthjohnson]

@passacaglia28

[Corsair1101]

Jeez, that thing must be a beast 2 play!!

[MANTLEBERG]

the first time i havent seen the invisible organist ? or does it have a keyframe?

[chiago]

would love to hear and see the organ... great... james mchone

[dwarrren9]

2:16 kinda made me jump.

[handelfan610]

they had me at 2:42

[hoover1060]

Very nice playing, I have always loved this piece! Dr. Ore was my organ teacher!!!

[mak72586]

He was my organ teacher too! I learned this piece with him. God love him.

[eelgar1857]

Wow, this must be one of the best Möller organs ever;

too bad it was one of their last. Thanks for the higher-quality sound, also!

[bimjales]

I have had the pleasure of hearing this organ in a concert. Are the free concerts still available?

[ncguy27713]

I was there the night this organ was dedicated. A friend of mine helped design this organ. He and his wife were both accomplished organist.

[a55b47]

Would that be the Chennaults?

[4902STEVEN]

@ncguy27713 Does this organ still get played? I understand there is no organist on staff anymore.

[moller11739]

@4902STEVEN It is still played. There is an part-time organist on staff and the monthly recitals were brought back.

[cfarnelli]

I'm looking for a piece of music I heard years ago. It was on a classical compilation CD which I know had some Gershwin on it.

The track I'm interested in had some organ in it it but sounded a little 'jazzy' and perhaps mediterranean and romantic.

I really can't remember much about it except I couldn't stop playing it.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Please?!
