hmmm. why all that preparation? maybe you could have copied the piece out of that big book. it seems this was a joint recital of several organists, but you were moving so fast to change books and stuff, it made me so nervous! and the person before you should have taken his or her music.
I love this and many of the other 24 pieces because you can make up your own timing, play them differently every time and no one will know; which helps when you can't count LOL.
Perhaps a little on the fast side, but one needs to make sure that the singing lines are natural and flowing--something that can't happen at too slow a tempo. If it were half that tempo as one commenter suggests, it would be absurdly pedantic.
Me again! I do agree that this piece was a little too fast, However, your interperetation is yours, not ours. As far as bad performance for setting up first, i have never heard of before! you did wonderful to make sure everything was in order! only the movement issue seems to be a problem. you play very well
Someone went before me and had accidently hit the crescendo pedal and other couplers as well as the swell pedal being completely closed, so I immediately had to adjust for those situations. Otherwise, if I had gone first, it would have been a little different.
Every organist always takes a double check on their settings before they play.

The person before me had hit the crescendo pedal by accident, and the swell pedal was down, and thank the good Lord my stops were in order.
Sometimes we cannot always plan for what happens next, but we can always doublecheck accordingly.

Well, robbed time is still time. And the expressive nature of the twentieth century is always taken into consideration.
Langlais I heard was not the best of players as much as he was a great composer. In any case, he is a true man of music and I always love his work.

Native of Lynchburg here; glad to see some local music! Isn't the LC organ an old Moller?

Where's the fire? You took this piece about twice as fast as it should be.

Honey,
Get yourself set up before you start filming.
If this was a recital, your audience does not want to see you egt your music out, adjust the bench, etc.
Nice playing, otherwise
