@Capricornboy She was disappointingly sloppy when she performed in my hometown too. I was shown recordings from her children's' concert, and it was even worse. It is as if she doesn't care about performances.
God I love Dr. Joyce Jones, Got to meet her in 96 when working at Glorietta Conference and agian on the organ at First Presbyterian Church in Kilgore, Texas. She is an awsome organist and she also told me her testimony to me and it was so good what God can do. Anyways love this vid.
Dont you just love the way the priest sound enthusiastic about it when the kids arnt probably interested.
And why does she have to pick BACH toccata and fugue. Does she think that its the only piece that non organists will have heard of.
When I listen to classic FM (Britains national and largest Classical music radio station). The only 2 organ pieces that ever get played are the Widor Toccata and this piece that joyce is playin. Ring the changes please - What about Bohm, Sweelinck or even Alain
I think it goes a long way to show kids the pipe chambers and demonstrate the operation to a smaller group. Most kids think of the organ as just the console. I remember going through those years at a church with a pipe organ and my grandmother never understood how it was able to create such voluminous sound. I always wonder what happened to that organ because after we left they pulled it and installed an Allen.
Jesus...you actually brought public school kids to a church...you heathens! And, who is this dumb-ass on the microphone? I love how the kids scream when he introduces Joyce, and yet, they have no clue who she is, and here comes "grandma"; who could have played CHOPSTICKS, and these children would have still screamed, hollared and yelled as if Hannah Montana just walked on to the pulpit.
Rests are of no importantacne here. Kids need to see that there's more to the organ than a WWF presentation. Is this the best we can do for a young audience?
This is hardly a lesson in how to behave in church or as a member of a concert audience....

i think the sloppy playing was a result from bad lighting.

I think a really cool piece she could have played for the kids is John Rutter's Toccata in Seven. I think it would be cool even for young kids.

I doubt the kids care. As long as the music was "cool" and showed them a bit about the sounds of a real pipe organ, I think this is a great idea!

Rests are of no importance?!?! They're nearly as important as the music. Without rests and articulation it would sound like a bunch of mush!!!
