Pipe Organ Improvisation - Postlude on "Saint Denio"

[mkl62]

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (Jan.17), we sang a hymn to this tune to close the service. I also played it at a local Lutheran Church that I filled in at. It is In Christ Called to Baptize, written by Ruth Duck. It is #575 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

Excellent improvisation. Did you write it down on sheet music?

The "Postlude on St. Denio" by Robert Graham is a published composition and is the basis of what you hear (approx. 50%). The balance is my improv inspired by Vierne and is not written. Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Wayne, you should be in a Cathedral loft, with

playing like that ! Fantastic !!

[joenwayne]

We don't have a loft (the organ and console are in the chancel), and we're not the cathedral for our diocese, but I love where I am.  Thanks for your thoughts and for viewing. Greetings from NJ USA to SW UK!

Yes, that's my "inspiration"! If you click on "More Info" above right, Vierne is duly credited. Thanks for your comment and for viewing.

Hi Mark, Had a great time doing this on an extremely hot and humid July afternoon without AC. Thanks for viewing and your very kind comments. Wayne

You're welcome, and the organ sounds so good it's too bad that you don't have a 32' reed. There's always Walker..........
