Purcell, Trumpet Tune & Air www.thejoyofmusic.org

[EPJM1750]

Wonderfull program, we should have more like these in non-cable tv

[61mrmusicman]

The original Ruffati console was four manuals. They must have made some significant additions to the organ because this is a five manual drawknob console. Once considered a luxury, drawknob consoles are almost universal in this country anymore. Some builders, notably Ernest Skinner built only drawknob consoles, while they were almost mandatory for large instruments of four manuals or more. Today they are the standard, and a good looking one at that.

Very good but, only the air was composed by purcell.. The trumpet tune was composed by Jeremia Clarke.

[peteacher52]

@ahgblopes Sorry - not so. The famous Trumpet Voluntary, for long attributed to Purcell, is indeed by Clarke. But the music on this clip is all Purcell. But because of a certain similarity with Clarke's Voluntary, that's where the earlier confusion lay.

@peteacher52

In the Purcell's "complete keyboard works" the trumpet tune is marked as: "actually by jeremiah clarke".

[peteacher52]

@ahgblopes I didn't know that. I have Purcell's complete harpsichord works played by Robert Woolley and the programme notes do not suggest any ambiguity of composers. Perhaps it was not seen as an issue when the recording was made in the 70s. Thanks.

@peteacher52

i'm saying the scores, not the recordings... See in IMSLP page the Purcell's section and go in letter C - Complete Kleyboard works. There is a lot of pieces erroneously attributed to Purcell.

Wonderful!! My absolute favorite! Like a breath of fresh air; i feel like i'm in heaven before His throne!!:)

[blueboy90210]

I am sure I don't have to say i adore hearing and seeing you play! You are awesome!!! I love this piece. I first heard it in the movie "Fooling Around" with Gary Busey and Annette O'Toole made years ago like 1980"s in a wedding of course. Maybe one day I will have the pleasure of seeing you play in person!!! Take care!!!!

[john1801rambo]

the organ has got a Zimbelstern!

[Isabel1956]

If I ever got married again, I would definitely hire this great organist to play this at my recessional. I don't care about the cost, it's the lifetime memories.

[PawPaw850]

What happened to the original Ruffatti console? Was it simply thrown out or did it end up in another church?

[bishfan]

@PawPaw850 I'm not sure. That's a good question. I doubt they would have simply thrown it out. It probably ended up in another church somewhere.

[PawPaw850]

@bishfan I know older Ruffatti consoles had solid state issues.... That was probably the reason it was replaced, but re-building the console is much more cost effective than replacement.... Plus, I like the Ruffatti the way it was before it was added to.... It was a more cohesive sound, now it doesn't blend well at all with the new Walker added to it

[pordzio]

@PawPaw850 i also read somwhere, that the console was so poorly built, that it set on its own on fire

[joeyboi87]

...annoying bitch, she always looks so stupid and has to play everything far too loud and on a ridiculously large instrument

[McGavinprincess]

The organist played this piece very well.

[goldengma]

Love the close ups of the intricate foot work on the pedals...

[10rapperboy]

fantastic. i love it.

[lewi39]

my favorit organs are the two hinz built organs in the netherlands bolsward and in kampen

[ceval1000]

when you have organ, organist producing music like this, angels can hardly do better. Diane you are at the top of the musical class

[gilles2777]

Which is the name of this type of organs? and names of the best type of organs in france and Germany?

[bishfan]

This organ was built by organ builder Fratelli Ruffatti of Padua, Italy.

There are so many different organ builders in France and Germany. One of my favorites is Cavaillé-Coll.

[gilles2777]

thanks

[speaks3703]

As far as European builders are concerned, I tend to go for Mander. They are based in the UK, but the do work around the world. Cavaille-Coll is nice and all, but they've been out of business since the early 20th century.

[jvdurante84]

@gilles2777 One great German organ builder is Klais.

[spindee407]

This was the song I walked the aisle to in my wedding. Wonderful!

[sanakhudu21]

I always did say I'd have this played at my wedding for my entrence...

[markpianoman]

Beautiful Diane I love this.

[danmakine]

I love this tune, and I am teaching myself how to play it right now, it is wonderfull to get more inspiration on how to play this piece, Thanks YouTube :) (I will agree though, that this piece is played rather mechanical in this performance)

[italianluvah83]

i like diane bish, but i feel when she plays sometimes she dosent really have a lot of feeling like virgil fox did, and some of her pieces feel rushed and choppy...i dont know, just my take.

[is1943]

Great performance.

[paladin313]

Was she and Fox contemporaries?

[caddyorganist]

Kind of. The beginning of her career overlapped the end of Fox's.

[chrissybayby]

I had the tremendous privilege of playing this remarkable pipe organ on my vacation to FL. It is an amazing, powerful instrument. Something you'd have to experience! The staff at the church is awesome - very inviting and hospitable.

[novascotiawill]

Absolutely amazing... so powerful and majestic. Diane is certainly a gifted musician. Simply beautiful.

[Streetcar1743]

That lady is a real true Idol. Some American Idol fans would love to see her play for the contestants on the show. If I had a milion dollars right now, I would buy a Ruffati organ with 5 manuals and have it installed at the Kodak theater. And I would invite Diane to come to the theater to play it.

[mattsplace85]

This is amazing...I am truly speechless. I go to a presbyterian (PCUSA) church in Tallahassee that has a virtiosic organist, but this instrument is just tremendous.

[Streetcar1743]

You might not be all that far from Fort Lauderdale.

Another great future:

at the end of the url address for this video, type in &fmt=18 and then press enter or click on go. This will enhance the soud slightly to give the effect as if being in the same room with Ms. Bish

[octavebasse8]

Yes, it really works!

[robinsoncobb]

So melodious and rich.
