[sevencorsa]

Excellent work, beautifully done !!!!

[silverstartrucker]

Lovely hymn but prefer the other tune this is often sung to.

[lorganiste1]

Excellent playing - very nice way to show the colours of the instrument. I really appreciated the way you "lifted" between phrases. Nice touch adding the registrations and showing the locations of the divisions. And good to know that you only "sorta" fell off the bench at the end!

[octavebasse8]

Lifting between phrases is certainly one of my pet peeves! It irks me beyond belief when people don't!

[dsbassoon]

Does anyone know who built this organ and where it is located?

[octavebasse8]

It's an Austin organ.

Yes, my favorite too. It is often performed at King's Christmas Eve service. Hail to this performance and Darke/Holst!

Great playing!! Which organ is this? Its rare to see a Rohr Schalmey on American organs. The organ I play on has an 8' Rohr Schalmey in the swell.

"Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone.

Snow had fallen, Snow on snow, snow on snow"

Always makes me shiver!

Very well played and not rushing the tempo.  Like how you put up the registrations. 5*****

I enjoyed your playing and seeing the beautiful nativity scene, although it was a little dark.

[octavebasse8]

Ya, I'm not very good with lighting.  I guess we can cross photograph off the list of future careers for me!

haha

Really nice job. Good use of couplers and various pitches, especially the Rohr Schalmei down an octave. I played this as a congregational hymn in a Lutheran church where I was subbing this morning-- one of two hymns during communion and the other was "Once In Royal David's City." There is a great band arrangement by Robert W.Smith that the SBB is playing on our re-scheduled Christmas Concert of "Bleak Midwinter" that ends with all 80 players gong ssshhh (like wind blowing) fading to silence.

Great job, thanks for posting. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[MrMusicandmath]

Nice registrations. Great soloing of the melody.  You really showed off the organ well!

[jpwsml]

I love this carol. Good job with all the solo voices.
