In 2005, Cologne Cathedral commissioned Stephen Tharp to compose Easter Fanfares for the inauguration of the organs new en chamade Tuba stops, played for the first time Easter weekend 2006. Based on both the mass dismissal Ita missa est, Alleluia and the Easter sequence Victimae Paschali Laudes, Easter Fanfares is dedicated to the Cathedral Organist Winfried Bönig. Here, Stephen Tharp plays his own composition at St. Patricks Cathedral, New York City.

  • Stephen Tharp is for me by far the best American organist. He shows far more musicality than any other American organist!

    This piece must be terrible hard to play!

  • the 32' bombarde at 7:00 monumental !! i would of loved to be at the top of that pipe when it went off ;-) (mite be deaf afterwards but heyy)

  • Who has published this wonderful organ piece?

  • @bhigdaddymark Hey Mark! I agree! Not many players like him around these days, eh? And that Swell! Those shades must be 3-5 inches thick!

  • @tjugofyra Isn't this SPELLBINDING?! For a while it seemed like Mr Tharp was laying low. So good to see him on the comeback.

  • Very impressive! BRAVO!

  • Absolutely stunning...organ, recording, piece and performer! Lucky me...I get to hear him in a couple of weeks in Portland, Maine!

  • You make a huge and important point. As a committed Christian and church musician (and organ builder), I take very seriously the kind of outreach great music can be. I would be happy for people like you to be in church just for the music, as a cultural experience. If the church service were to impress you to think about God, then that's fine. If not, then I would hope that I enriched your life with music. You obviously have a discerning ear! So come on in and enjoy!

  • Thank you, that was me :-)
