Wanamaker Organ Day 2011 - National Anthem HD

tip: if you want to record this organ, do so from the 2rd story. My videos from the ground floor are marred by too much ambient noise and reverberation. I was hoping to post Parry's "I Was Glad" but this is the only selection with acceptable audio.

oops...thanks for the correction

Yes, using the camcorder is definitely not optimal, particularly a non-professional one like mine that doesn't have audio level adjustment. But I've played it back on my hifi system and it sounds surprisingly good, all things considered.

How can those people continue to shop for shoes while this is playing!?!

At least stop for a minute and respect your anthem!

But, this is a beautiful video, thanks for sharing, too bad i wasnt able to make it to this...

@dangitbobby01

I agree, it's disrespectful. One optimistically assumes they just don't know any better.

Very nice Video of out National Anthem, but I find the ignorance of people disturbing.

They couldn't stop shopping for a minute??

@Salmagundiii I have to say I think your recording of this is actually the best on Youtube and nice to hear the singing was in tune.

Next time I expect a studio quality recording so we can hear how good it actually does sound :-) I wish our British National Anthem was not so dull :-(

[goodchappy]

Do you mean Parry's "I was Glad", not Perry's ?

I would like to hear this recorded on decent recording equipment, mobile phones and camcorders are either mono or if stereo they compress it so much you lose the sound quality :-)

@Salmagundiii Or many are not Americans.
