  • What he is doing is called an alternate harmonization of the hymn. Although some of the chords are quite dissonant I think in general it is quite brilliant.

  • I heard nothing wrong. I heard something creative. In fact, it's something I'd do especially if I saw heads nodding off in the congregation. . . love the dissonance in the final cadence! I'll have to try that some time!

  • I wish I could maker such a triumphant ending without first laboriously writing it out!

  • The «wrongest» thing here is the COMMENT / TITLE! As other(s) have said this is a brilliant and possibly EXTEMPORE alternate harmonisation. Those who want to make fun, YOU play a better one! And, to the student organist: WELL DONE! Even IF a note or 2 were not what you intended you WILL get more confident and you WILL make a thrilling ending to many of the hymns you will play, hopefully over a long, and distinguished career.

  • This isn't a mistake. He meant for the song to sound that way and in my opinion, he was very creative, and gave a very competent performance.

  • Come play at my church :-)

  • I think he took on too much, not sure if he was making it up or following a different version but it didn't sound right. However, he is a reasonable organist, I have heard a lot worse!

  • @MrJpholmes Yes, I never understand why organists do that to that extent.

  • @DRMS7888 and, of course, he got in trouble for doing it as well :-)

  • VABCHBRYAN is quite right! If there is a real problem it's too loud for chapel accompaniment!!

  • Why is he jumping at the keys like its a piano towards the end. It doesn't matter how hard you hit them!

  • @71259mark The choir doesn't sound the least bit "distracted" or "uncomfortable" to me. The harmonies were inspiring.
