Aria on a Chaconne Hauptwerk

[tenney1119]

Rob-how does one go about purchasing a complete system for installation in a school auditorium? Tenney

[keyboardjeff]

Beautifull! Thank you!

[tenney1119]

Simply exquisite. Thanks so much

[monaldeschi]

May I have the score? Thank you!

[birdwing98]

I see this piece is available in print for only $3.50 . Google "Aria On a Chaconne, By Joel Martinson" I found this information by following Rob's link above to listen to recording at Contrebombarde. That site lists the sheet music source.

[TheKingJacob1]

you are a fine organist

[bazzermn]

This is really beautiful. Are you using the Hauptwerk MIDI digital program or is it another one? Where you you get the manuals/ pedal board etc? thanks!

[joe22twentytoo]

wonderful

[3511able]

Duh. Why don't I expand the caption and see who wrote it. Don't get old. You won't like it. Please excuse the leap without the look. You do beautiful work.

[3511able]

This composition gives me a swelled heart and moist eyes. One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. Did you write this, Rob? Is it in print? I would purchase a copy. Please tell us who the composer is. I would like to hear you play Invocations by Mathias. Your playing is inspiring and moving.

[dstuhne]

Thanx for this wonderful music. Keep up the good work!

[ijagcwmw]

serene.

[OrganizationXIIIof07]

wow, i just flipped to this video on accident...this is so beautiful i almost cried!

[goodchappy]

Lovely

[mortondavid]

Thanks to you I just ordered this beautiful music. It will sound super on our 1927 E.M. Skinner! I must say, too, that you are a fine player.

[mortondavid]

So beautiful it hurts!

[bombarde1701a]

Thanks for playing this for me at the AGO convention...it was good to meet you

beautiful  beautiful sound, thanks for sharing this

[Wiercik90]

Beautiful piece :) will this piece fit on a wedding ceremony?? what do you think??:) grettings from Poland:)

[milou7300a]

Belle pièce, Vous êtes bon organiste, et aussi, un son majestueux, avec cet instrument, beau à écouter ,Jacques Merci

[enchammade16]

I attend Transfiguration where Joel is the Director and organist. This piece sounds fabulous on our brand new instrument that was just installed and is still under going voicing. This is one of his many pieces that are just great composing.

[feelandplay]

@enchammade16

I would have thought a gade 7 organist cold play it.

[PipeQuest]

How hard would you rate this piece?

[bagnewauckland]

@PipeQuest I've just got the music for it. It's not too hard, some tricky stretches in the right hand part, but otherwise fairly straight-forward.

[JSC1401]

I admire your relaxed approach and your economy of movement.

I wonder if your technique would change on a tracker action.

[dichoso68]

Rob,

This is so beautiful and you are so talented. It's very inspiring and worth spending the time watching you playing! Love it so much! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[polsterj]

Thank you so much for this recording!

So pretty, so sweet. A wonderful example that Cavaillé-Coll-organs are more than only roaring reeds!

[cgabis04]

Truly incredible, Rob. I almost cried. Very reminiscent of Ravel's Pavane Pour une Infante Defunte, which incidentally nearly makes me cry as well.

[Larsky1010]

The strings are so luxurious--they have a "wrap-around" sound, even from my computer's speakers!

[jwabacus]

This video gives me an incredible sense of peace; there's almost a hypnotic sense about it that effectively calms me when I need to be calmed. I'm going to learn it as my first 'organ' piece.

[ceaquin]

I love this piece! It is played very well. What CD has this piece? I would like to buy it. Thank you!

[musicaorganum]

A gorgeous piece well played. Thank you for this performance.

[lockiper]

hello I have sixteen years and play organ , I would like to have a home organ like the one of your videos and let me know if you bought yourself or if you are built... sorry , i'm italian and i speak english bad..

[emmanuelbenet]

I get chills everytime I listen to this piece. I have no words to describe this feeling. When it ends you just want more. What stops do you use for this piece?

[stefanussen]

Thanks Emmanuel, I do thicken it up a bit in the middle, but the beginning and end use a fairly straight registration of strings on the Swell and Bourdon + Flute Harmonique. It's definitely one of my favorite combinations on the Metz!

[organEd]

This piece is so beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. Your interpretation is marvelous. Is this piece easy to find. I absolutely have to get ahold of it. My church would swoon over this as a prelude.

[paranormaalutrecht]

To much reverberation!

[MicksFlics]

Beautiful, sensitive and fine playing...simply beautiful playing of lovely pieces...this and the Cundick arr. of Jesus the Very Thought of Thee. The Hauptwerk is truly and amazing creation. I've not heard or seen one live but the clips of seen and heard are truly amazing.

Will check out all of your videos here.

Bravo, fellow organist!

[AndesEbla]

Sublime!

[1401JSC]

Sort of Sugary Richard Clayderman for the Organ.

Flor Peeters is much better stuff.

For a Canon try Choral by Joseph Jongen.

You play with love and conviction, however.

[milou7300a]

Thank You for nice music, You play extremely good, and the sound of your organ is grandiose ,thanks Jacques

[TSB12556]

Thanx for your wonderful gift of music and sharing it with us all! Being able to view talent in our own home is a great thing.

God Bless

[bryan3550]

Sweet and contemplative!

Thank you

[bagnewauckland]

You Sir, are one of the finest Organists that I have heard the privilege of having heard. You are one of the main figures inspiring me to start playing the Organ, and do my part to try and turn around the decline of young organists. Thank you, for this, and all of your other videos.

[bagnewauckland]

Gah, it should say "Have had the privilege" not "have heard". Of course, I couldn't spot it when I posted, but only 3 month later...

Still, great playing Rob

[ryorgan]

Where or how can I get a virtual organ like yours. Until i looked at the screen i thought it was coming from a large cathedral. Just beautiful sound and you do so well at it. I'm opening a file just for your recordings.I presume you're lds. So am I. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

[thesilencespeaks011]

can you get this copy for the piano??? i don't play the organ, i've been playin piano for like 9 yrs...my sister in law and the band played this song and she had the solo--and i fell in love!!!!

[waihoong11]

This is so very beautiful! So expressive I think I wanna weep.

[Contrabass32]

Beautiful playing... the "duet" lines in the RH are so smooth. Love the strings and flute harmonique.

Somewhat reminiscent of the Paul Manz Aria. Thanks for posting your recordings!

[cd1306]

Muito Bonito, Very wonderfull

[mudog35]

where can I get the music ?

[polsterj]

A wondeful piece! I love the Organ in Metz, and the hauptwerk version, too! I'd love to hear more of your recordings!

[oakley140]

I came across this on YouTube today, so I had to bookmark it on my iPhone, and I've been driving around Dallas / Forth Worth jamming-out to this in traffic. What a beautiful song. I can't wait to learn it. I'm also excited about possibly trading-in my old Allen organ and getting one of these fancy virtual ones -- the sound is great -- and the playing is even better!

[stefanussen]

Thanks, I try to get as much up as possible. Can only learn the pieces so fast though :) Glad you enjoy the postings!

[cajun3998]

I heard you playing this beautiful piece and ordered it for myself. You have inspired me to rid myself of my big 3 manual and pursue a purchase of one of your great sounding instruments for my studio. I look forward to you next posting of music.

[Brandotuomikoski]

I like your new set up! Looks fun!

[orgelkim]

Yes, very beautiful!

[MonsieurOrgue]

That was a wondefully tender piece, thanks for sharing. Oh, and by the way, I think the suit works fine - nice to see you have some pride in the presentation.

[stefanussen]

Thanks :-)

[PointyTail]

What's with the suit? :-)

[stefanussen]

I just try to upload the most worthwhile stuff I can for YouTube users, and I'm hoping the suit enhances the presentation :-)

[organpipe8]

ROB, That was so beautiful, I can't believe the sound on tht system, I was using headphones. Please keep posting - Lance †

[stefanussen]

Thanks Lance, you get a lot of bang for your buck on this piece, it's not too difficult, and it has a very dreamy feel to it. One of my favorites; I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[stevebournias]

awe-inspiring and beyond human understanding

[stefanussen]

[DesireeDeFete]

OH LORD CHILED!

You have no clue how long I have been looking for this piece! I have the recording of the Bedient at St Ritas, and I want this piece!

Which company publishes it?

[stefanussen]

The copyright says (c) 1994 Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, MO.

[larryocca]

Hi Rob. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful musical selection with us. I thought you played it wonderfully with great phrasing and feeling. I was not yet familiar with the piece.

[stefanussen]

Thanks!

[kebistefanussen]

so super schoen!
