Pipe Organ: Gospel Acclamation 2008

Me playing the Gospel Acclamation at the 2008 Christmas Eve Mass at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Princeton, WI.

I am not going to school for organ performance or music. I am actually a Chemistry and Biology major and am currently preparing to apply for medical school. The organ is merely one of my great passions. I hope you enjoy my performance.

Please comment!

You rule.

[holyholyholyorgankid]

Why would they want to do that? ;-)

[sondasam]

Well, we tried to do just that except we had a huge snow storm the night we were going to rehearse and the only people who showed up were two other people and me. It would have been nice to have that practice time though.

[coloradosparkyred2]

Yes to that. I think you mentioned that you do not handel the choir. I was wondering if the Director would let you practice with them once or twice so that they can get a feel for the tempo you would take at mass.

[emotiiii]

Ah, if only choirs followed our tempo! lol

[jlandles]

Absolutely stunning playing. I wish I was half as talented!
