Hi Don,

Greetings to you in WI from NJ.

I am playing from the arrangement for organ by William Strickland,

Copyright @ 1939,1949 by G. Schirmer, Inc. (ASCAP) New York. NY

This is readily available from any retail music store. If they don't have it in stock they can get it for you. Also, most on-line music sellers will have it.

They won't let me post a URL here but "sheetmusicplus" "dot" "com" has it.

Kind regards,

Wayne

I have a piano arrangement of this in c major that I sometimes play as a prelude on the organ at church and it sounds good.

[JRCOOTS]

....one of my all time favorites. I just recevied the sheet music for this not long ago for Choir, it will be a lofty, ambitious project, but this piece has such an etherial feeling to it that is unmatched! I can't explain the feelings I get spiritually when I hear this sung. Well played Wayne.

Hi Ken,

Kind regards,

Wayne

Thank you for that!

Brought back some memories of when the Choir I sang with (The Basilica in Baltimore) sang this hymn in Latin.

I have a new favorite pipe organ song. :-) Excellent! It sound a bit like the cam is on the organ case?

[joenwayne]

Thanks for viewing and your kind comments.

The cam is about 15' from me at the organ console and about 30' from the front of the organ pipes.

Grüße zu Ihnen in Deutschland von New Jersey, USA.

Oh ok. ;) Maybe the church has a bit dry acoustic but that cant be heard in the video right.

And kind regards back to you from South Germany.

[32openwood]

So beautiful.  It's hard to see in the video, but I was watching when the melody is played by the feet (from about 3:45 to 5:00). Your technique is so fine that the melody sounds as smooth as silk. Bravo!

[joenwayne]

Thank you for viewing and your very kind comments.

Brilliant. This reminds me of the Leonard Bernstein/ LA Philharmonic recording. Absolutely the best pipe organ version of this on YouTube. Stunningly beautiful in your incredibly talented hands/fingers/feet.

5*'s - more if I could.

[joenwayne]

You are very kind - thank you for viewing and your comments.
