  • @Chesterbarnes1 This is a Rodgers organ, looks like a 950 (or variant on the 950)

  • 4444 views. An Angel seeks attention! He wants to Bless You!

  • Too cool! Yigdal Elohim Chai. I sang Yigdal (which is the melody that is used for this wonderful hymn) every Shabbos evening. I discovered this hymn one morning in prayer (song 23 in The Celebration Hymnal), and instantly fell in love with it. As a Jewish saint, it has deep cultural ties to me!

  • @Millerbt12 To the Jewish ear this would sound funny as the timing and syncopation differ, but I'd disagree that he was all over the place. This hymn was adapted for Christian use some 300 years ago and hasn't changed much, hence the variation in tempo to the Yigdel. Not all twelve or so verses were translated at the time of it's adaptation that I'm aware of, but wold be eager to have one if possible. The church has also become lazy, hymns with 4 plus verses are not sung in their entirety.

  • @Chesterbarnes1 I disagree. His tempo inconsistency within a single verse is all over the place. Don't protestants sing all the verses anyway?

  • Beautiful hymn and eternal truths."... and glorious with his saints in light will forever reign".

  • Question:

    The organ seems to be a large electronic Allen is this correct?  What organ is this?

  • I loved to see a organist who is serous about his playing and church playing.

    Ron Bechtel is that man. I watch how he changes his registrations after each stanza. This is good, this is refreshing, it makes the hymns more beautiful and vibrant. He slows the tempo at the end to que the congregation that the hymn is ending. I wish I could steal him to our church in Virginia. smile!

  • Did you not play the written pedal melody?
