Some composer once said: "The organ is a monster that never breathes."

This one breathes allright. It even sings. Well done.

Beautiful, melodic music...what's that?

[joenwayne]

Thank you.

[Opolye]

Is this truly modern music, composed in the 1980's? If so, I am truly happy and it is a glorious day for me to hear this. Tonal music is sorely lacking in appreciation from the entrenched musical academic class. We must break free of modernist atonality and play more breathtakingly soaring music like this!

Bravo, friend!

[joenwayne]

I don't have the score in front of me, but this was composed I believe in the 1970's or 80's.

Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Kind regards,

Wayne

Looks as if you're playing at night in the church. Quiet and peaceful right?

[joenwayne]

It looks as if it is night, but it was an overcast and rather dark afternoon - quiet and peaceful, yes.

I recently posted the Barber "Adagio for Strings" - you might enjoy that too.

[ThomasHospitaller]

This is the light of the Earth; a luminous radiance shines across our world. Nothing is more perfect than the divinity of music, for it is the Voice itself. Religious or not, clouds part and the sun opens itself to the world, bathing your whole sense of life in that light.

It is a singular thing, and I am glad of this beauty.

[tony0000111]

great job,keep working like this =] are you in the church?it's beautiful =]

[joenwayne]

Yes, in the church on a rather dark day. Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Where can i purchase the score?

[1401JSC]

Sounds like it was inspired by Flor Peeters' Largo.

Are you using a tremulant or are the 8' stops out of tune?

[joenwayne]

No tremulant. I am using Celeste stops which are of course tuned slightly "out of tune" with each other in order to produce the undulating effect.

[joenwayne]

Thank you for your kind comments and for viewing.

[advisorC101]

Wonderful playing, I find this very relaxing and peaceful. Those flutes are so sweet!

[joenwayne]

Thanks for viewing and your kind comments.

[advisorC101]

Yes, The great organist Xaver Varnus usually has an orchestra or bass band accompanying him in his biggest concerts. If you look on my page I have a playlist full of his videos. I also recommend searching up Karl Richter performing G.F Handel's organ concerto, he plays with an orchestra as well.

[diakonia]

I know #9 old farm road exists(chatham)the maple my mom planted when preggers w/me stands over 20metres tall .Blessings and peace to you !!

[joenwayne]

Thank you for your comments and for viewing.

[ChryTears]

Nothings more beautiful this side of Heaven, than sounds coming from a majestic pipe organ.

God Himself lead man to create this insturment used as tool to tune ones heart closer to His!

No sound on earth can humble ones heart into submisive prayerful worship than soft dampered flutes on top deep dark gutteral penetrating tone of the tall Bourdonsa.

Spirits can be lifted straight up into Heaven when all stops are pulled as master organist dances on pedals!

Gods given gifts of song for all!

[joenwayne]

Thank you for viewing and your lovely comments.

[am98101]

This is indeed a beautiful piece, and of course extremely well played. What is the title?

[joenwayne]

Thank you!

[Alexiszhu]

who knows```What's the name of this music?? I have looked for this music for a long time````thanks verymuch ..

[qwerfderf]

i find it hard to understand where church music is trying to go musically (apart from heaven!!) but i love the pipe organ.. that has some beautiful moments.

[pierreandorf]

Hi Joe - I had a word with Andrew Fletcher in the UK. He's a tip top organist and prize-winning fellow of the Royal College of Organists. I just bought his "Five Miniatures for Organ" recently republished by Peters. They include Integritas and Chorale Prelude on St. James. Do have a look at his miniatures.

[joenwayne]

Thanks for viewing. I'll definitely look up Fletcher's "Miniatures".

Kind regards,

Wayne

[KingLouisXXI]

Oh my lord...You've opened my eyes to music,allover again.This is where I started.My first love was the organ.Haha.Ever since that first day at church.

[joenwayne]

Thanks everyone for viewing and your comments.

[organEd]

Hi Joe

Wow, that is absolutely beautiful. Your playing, coupled with this gorgeous piece, really touches the soul. Joe, have you played William Boyce's "Ye Sweet Retreat"? If I had the equipment, I might post it sometime, but I'd love to hear you play it sometime. Virgil really did that piece well, but I have not seen it on YouTube. I'd like to see how one of your talent fingers some of those finger stretches.

[joenwayne]

Hi "organEd",

Thanks for viewing and your very kind comments. I don't own the Boyce "Ye Sweet Retreat". I'll have to get a copy.

Kind regards,

Wayne

[organEd]

It is a beautiful piece. It really makes a great prelude for church.

[organpipe8]

Beautiful - thanks Lance

[counterstrikeforces]

you play very well for this prelude, by the way do you have the video of you playing come thou font of every blessing during mass on the church organ.

[joenwayne]

Thanks for viewing and your comments.

"Come Thou Font of Every Blessing" (Tune: Nettleton) is in our hymnal and we use it, but it's not one I've camcorded - yet.

[pierreandorf]

This is a fabulous piece of organ music and played really well too for such an introspective piece. J.S. Bach would have loved this one - that's for sure ! I wonder what Fletcher's "Chorale Prelude on St. James" is like - perhaps you could put that one up on Youtube too! Many thanks for a great moment of listening (even with a wonky mike !)

[joenwayne]

I so agree that the Integritas is a great work for the organ. I don't know Fletcher's "St. James" but I'll see if I can find the music. Thank you for viewing and your comments.

[pierreandorf]

Really great piece.

[kettohio]

What a wonderful piece of work

[thehornypuppy]

Sounds like something Nobuo Uematsu would come up...the beggining sounds a lot like FFVI and FFVIII combined...

[Zachp333]

Beautiful. Very nicely played! I did not hear one voice, you really got the congeration silent during that prelude!

[CindyBradyTooh]

Absolutely *DELIGHTFUL*! :D

~Cindy! :)

[wishram]

the quality of recording is not good

invest in better microphone

but the piece and playing are great

[SlabStudios]

It's YouTube. Nothing sounds good on YouTube, no matter how good the Microphone is.

[lostnyc2]

"the quality of recording is not good

invest in better microphone"

You cant complain when the music is freaking FREE to you!!!! be happy the fellow took the time to record and upload here at all!

[YTBloom]

I enjoyed this piece.  Is it published?

[joenwayne]

It is in a collection of organ music:

"Artists' Performance Collection, Vol. One"

[joenwayne]

Thank you.

[wurlitzermad]

You are an amazing organist . That is an amazing organ . The peice is amazing . Thanks for putting this up =]

[joenwayne]

You're welcome. Thanks for viewing.

[parchiethegreat]

you're very talented on the organ - that was really nice. thanks for posting.

[joenwayne]

Thanks for your kind words. Glad that you enjoyed it.

[octave4]

At about 1:58 you have a sort of horn sound on the Great yet the sound, like a Fr. Horn, does not exist. Looks like the Ch Or, Co, wiped out the original Great and made it into a New Baroque style - The 2-2/3 is missing. Nice sound though. All Swell & Cres. shoes are balanced today.

[joenwayne]

The "horn" sound to which you refer at about 1:58 when the left hand moves to the Great is the Great II 8' Gross Flute.

In 1979 the Church Organ Co. did indeed add a somewhat-baroque-style Great (Great Organ I). We still have the original Steere Great (Great Organ II). Thanks for your observations and comments.

[octave4]

I do thank you for reply. Fooled me for sure. Too bad the baroque fad ruined to many good organs, fortunate the original Steere pipes were saved. I'll Bet the original pipes are magnificent. Nice sound. Look for more posts please.

[joe22twentytoo]

beautiful, subscribed so expecting more wonderful music. thanks j

[joenwayne]

More very soon - I'll try not to dissappoint!

[fagraas]

Great stuff man.. I am currently begining training myself on the organ. only sad thing is that we dont have sutch grande organs in my territorry over here in norway! Wonderfull music!

[joenwayne]

Thanks. Best wishes on your organ studies. This piece would work well on just about any size instrument.

[organpipe8]

Awesome, the organ sounds beautiful, great performance, thanks for sharing.

[stanmugs]
