Re: 06/24/06 Music "To God be the Glory"

[SturdyBirdy]

Magnificent!

[psychkoala]

Love it.

Great version of a glorious song !

[irkibby]

Absolutely bloody belting rendition of this tune.

[irkibby]

@Kilik535 elephants don't make watch video to be present in time, elementarily of course!

[samc726]

It looks like there is a security camera mounted on the wall next to the organ on the left.

[thinsmek]

The best organ solo on this hymn! Whats with the modesty panels on the organ bench?!

[Bce123123]

Very moving rendition. You truly made a joyful noise!

[ChucklesKeys]

WOW that's a gutsy sounding pipe organ! Lots of POWER.

[844jim]

I do like this arrangement as well as any I've heard.

[wpdeschamps]

Beautifully done...I especially like the modulation beyond the "normal" half-step! Really nice! There is an arrangement by J. Christopher Pardini that you may like, too. You did a great job with a truly great hymn.

[organistable]

Beautiful playing and technique, I would liked to have heard it without those ugly reeds, they really need to be revoiced so they don't bury the rest of the organ. But, the organist was excellent.

[usdragoon]

Great playing When playing Hymns Play loud and proud this is to god's grace KEEP IT UP

[voiceofvictory88]

Great Hymn, terrific Organist, really shows congregants that hymns can be fun. Keep up the good work!

[AR2017]

It's organists like you who can lead a congregation in true worship. Excellent job!

[bevrn04]

Spirited, inspirational performance! Thank you...

[organmad]

Congradulations, most enjoyable!!!

[organlover1988]

Great rendition, one of my favorite songs.

[TSB12556]

way to blow the dust out of those pipes! God Bless you for sharing. :)

[Pogue76]

Looks like the Joyce Jones organ at Baylor University, I hope im right. lol.

[octavebasse8]

You certainly are right!

[octavegeigen4]

The intro sounded a bit like Gigout's Grand Choeur Dialogue, I liked it!

[semasiology]

nice.

[Zmusicbox]

Absolutely Wonderful!! What a combination!..one of the greatest hymns of the Christian faith being beautifuly played on the great king of instruments.Splendid performance!!

[noahcameron]

Fantastic! This is the way hymns should be played. I love going into a new church where someones grandmother was the organist for 75 years and dusting off the keys! So grattifying to see the church members looking at each other like "what the heck just happened?" I love it!

[moproducer]

This hymn was meant to be played & sung with all the power and emotion available. Keep runnin' air through those pipes!

[flentrop2009]

Interesting that you would modulate a third away from the original key. That seems to put the high note at a G above the staff. Would you intend to use such a change for congregational singing?

[bradtaylor32]

No. I normally only modulate up a half step, or a whole step at most. I went up from Ab to C just because the transition sounded neat.

[stevoelgrande]

Awesome! Could you record Holy, Holy, Holy on an organ like this? That hymn is great on a powerful organ like this one.

[LeftiusMaximus]

Hi question for you....i noted the large sounding stop in the pedal division. What stop was that just for my own curiosity

[bradtaylor32]

The 32' Bombarde comes on near the end of the last verse, I also have the 8' en chemade coupled to the pedal there.

[garysdeskcom]

Very well done. This is a song that screams for the rich, full voice of a church organ.

[violinrudy]

Wow! Beautiful modulation.

[wombesi]

Ignore the stinkin thinkin! You know what you can and cannot do. This is awesome and, for reasons I do not need to go into, I know a precise, clear, and high quality organ performance. This is it! Stay blessed....

[organdude2001]

I think you are a wonderful organist! Some people just think they are the worlds critics, I would like to someone do better!!! TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[55trombone]

You are an awesome organist. What a stirring rendition! Our Lord is awesome, and you communicate great excitement about who He is. Thanks so much for posting this and sharing your talent. Truly enjoyable!

[speaks3703]

Is this at Baylor University, Jones Hall?

[bradtaylor32]

Yes

[ticoguy05]

Excellent!!!

[jpwsml]

Is this arrangement available in sheet music?

[bradtaylor32]

Nah, I just made it up. It's pretty basic.

[bestpilot98]

will you make a cd of all your best? this song was magnificent!

[bbbnit]

Here in Brazil is called "A Deus demos glória"beautiful "hino". I love!

[70sfan64]

Amen! One of my fave hymns. Well done - not too slow, not too fast! Would love to go to a church with a big pipe organ. The small keyboards they use in a lot of churches today just don't have the presence of a big ole' pipe organ.

[cjp02a]

after so much crap on youtube, thank you for giving a quality performance of this hymn.

[chrissue7249]

Brilliant - haven't heard it played this well for a long, long time!

[Lou06109]

TERRIFIC! More, please!

[organpipe8]

Nice organ - great sound - Lance †

[doctorh2005]

wow!

[AllenOrganCrazy]

Wow. Someone needs to grow up. Whats wrong with the word wow?

[doctorh2005]

I'm a little confused... lol

why has someone de-rated my comment above???

Strange :-S

[AllenOrganCrazy]

Some people are idiots.

[ticoguy05]

From Costa Rica: Awesome!!! I liked the organ settings....

[oakley140]

I love the trompette en chamade solo -- Your attack on 'Praise the Lord! Praise The Lord!' was great! The timing was perfect throughout!

[neilwillsey]

I listened to this brilliant rendition of "To God Be the Glory" and am touched very deeply by your playing - it is so inspiring and powerful. Thank you so much for posting your video here on YouTube. I sensed that this hymn touches you at the core of your being as you play it.

[cluke1979]

Brilliant performance - well done!

[fflloooorr11]

well youre no david crowder, but still not bad. im just kidding, keep up the good work.

[edeleon1973]

THANK YOU so much for that info. It makes total sense. I do agree that this is the way To God Be The Glory ought to be played. Keep up the good work and hopefully someday you might do Holy, Holy Holy or Onward Christian Soldiers.

[edeleon1973]

GREAT JOB! I am an church organist as well and I was just was wondering what those chords were that you hit the second time around on the measures that say "Who yielded His life an antonement for sin" with the emphasis on "for sin"? If you could share that or which piece of music you are reading it would be very much appreciated! Thank you & God Bless!

[bradtaylor32]

The key I play it in is Ab. At the part you're talking about I keep the same Eb chord on "for" but go down to a Db in the bottom note of left hand and pedal, then on "sin" go down another step to a C major chord built normally from the bottom up.

[homeedmom]

This is so beautiful it sent chills down my spine! Powerful! These are the hymns I grew up with and I miss them. Keep up the good work!

[Lou06109]

Terrific! Please give us more!

[MStufft]

wow you are really an amazing organist, good job

[Reesman95]

were u using the Trommpete-en-Chamade, or Tuba Miralies???

[bradtaylor32]

Tuba for most of it. Trompette en chamade in the pedal at the end.

[speaks3703]

This hymn really brings out the power of the organ. Well done. Good use of reed stops as well. This organ is truly amazing.

[gmcausland]

Love the sound and your playing :)

[sameerakujura]

you play great dear but y da hell are you jumping on ur seat

[zimbelstern62]

Great! So exciting. I wish everyone could experience playing the organ. We organists "take it for granted."

[KR2C]

Awesome bro, you can play ! Keep praising God with these hymns.

[JmoulFrancis]

Excellent rendition!!! I loved the intro;the best I have heard for this yet. Keep up the good work and keep on sending videos like this.

[armorsecsys]

well, That just made me melt right in my chair!

[cvter]
