Tell out my soul
Verse One of Tell out my soul, filmed at Belfast Cathedral for Songs of Praise. Amazing spinning shot of interior of St Anne's Cathedral.

It's wonderful - the best recording of this hymn I've found yet on YouTube. But...how necessary is it for someone to stand up and conduct the congregation? Does this really make people sing better? I am an organist and my Upper Michigan parish sings this hymn regularly. My vocally untrained congr...

When I was a teen this sort of music was just the thing to keep me far, far away from the See. Wouldn't Gregorian chant, the music of the Church, speak more to an inquisitive young mind than fourth-rate pop music?

commented:
The crowns of the pedal towers, and in fact the whole case, are modeled after the Herter Bros. case of the 1863 Walcker organ in Boston Music Hall (now in Methuen Mass.) Joseph Ridges, the original builder of the Tabernacle organ, was in Boston buying materials for the Salt Lake organ in 1863. He...
