Content Organ Goes to Church, Part II.

I quickly setup the camera and played one more piece before my friends came to help move the organ. 10 minutes after this was recorded it was all diconnected and on a trailer ready to be transported back to my home. The unfortunate thing about this recording is the audio auto level control, so the volume sounds a little weird as go loud and soft.

John Stanley was an English composer born almost 300 years ago, in 1712.

When he was about 2 years old, he had a fall carrying a china basin which left him almost blind.
 
At the age of 7 he began studying music. He advanced so well that at the age of nine he played at All Hallows in London. At the age of seventeen he became the youngest person ever to obtain the Bachelors in Music degree at Oxford University.

  • i just love this piece! is the Diane Bish's transcription?? we don't have it here in italy :(

    however u're amazing!

  • Thank you! I had borrowed the book from a friend, I'm not sure if it is the same as what Diane Bish uses. It is a selection from "An Album of Trumpet Tunes for Organ" published by Alfred Music Publishing (AP.GB9709).

  • Way to go Rodneyjantzi! Awesome playing and great organ. I just purchased the Content Mondri 5800 for my home. I'm looking forward to having it in 7 to 10 weeks. BTW, the new organs have a system by which you can voice the organ to your own specs. Thanks for the great music Rod ! Cheers !

  • Thank you very much! Congratulations on the purchase of your Mondri - those are fantastic intruments that you will enjoy for a very long time. The Content organs were great 10 years ago and even better now.

  • Greetings from Dundas Ontario. I enjoy your music. I have a Content D-2327 myself at home. (27 note pedal board) I do know the organ is made by Philips and the reverb is by Alesis. I got rid of the crappy stock Bose reverb speakers and am using cheap Realistic models instead. I am not using any other external speakers since my living room is small. For an older electronic organ it does not sound too bad. My church has a Content organ as well but it does poorly for sound in the building.

  • You are so calm and comfortable with this song! i have loved it, making all those notes right. almost next to Diane Bish. Thank you so much for this is wonderful video!

  • this is the diane bish version! i love it! where can i find a free version of it?

    however good esecution.. but i would have changed some registers.. :)

  • Welcome to the Club!

    I have a Mondri 5800 as well ;-)

  • Ohh! Regardless, I couldn't even tell it wasn't a Reed so very nice combination. My organ also has the Trumpet on the Great so it limited me to these pieces. Maybe I'll try combo and see how that works.

  • Thanks! I agree that the reeds I used on the swell on this piece might be a little harsh for a trumpet stop : ) I wanted to use the principals on the great, but that is where the trumpet stop is, so I used a vox humana, oboe, and an 8 + 2-2/3 mix. For a 10 year old organ I am still happy with how it sounds in my house.
