Where can I get music for the Danish Amen Mass?

[sondasam]

You should be able to find it in any Catholic hymn collection. Especially the one put out by J.S. Paluch from World Library Publications.

As a church organist myself I think you are doing a great job with you playing, and please don't stop, we need more young organist all of the old one are dying off, and you do a fantastic job yourself. Also I really like the registrations you use in your, they were very fitting for this hymn, good job, keep it up and Bravo!

[sondasam]

Thank you very much for your wonderful compliment! I agree that more young organists are needed. It is such an exciting instrument. Somehow more interest needs to be sparked. You should post some videos of yourself playing. I would enjoy seeing them.

[bimjales]

Your playing is great. The organ however is terribly out of tune.

[sondasam]

Thank you for the complement! The camera that I use does not record sound very well, and thus does not do this organ justice. It sounds very different than the actual recording.

You have tremendous talent!

I play drums, which requires some limb independence, but pipe organ is an entirely different animal. Keep up the great work (particularly, that which is in service to God).

Blessings to you.

[JustOneMoreChild]

Excellent! Excellent! Keep on, keep at it, you're a credit to all aspiring organists.

Pax et Dominus Vobiscum

[MrBrysonD]

Keep going young man! You've got the talent!

[theaterpipe1]

You did a really good job! Especially with the Holy, Holy, Holy.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

I aggre, its time to get back to the good ol' Gregorian Chant!

This brought back many memories, I was a kid growing up in the 70's and this was used in our parish frequently, ESP the Lamb Of God sequence, THEN came the Mass of Creation, GOD am I sick of that one, the Mass of Creation NEEDS A VACATION PEOPLE!!!!

I am a young organist as well. I'm 15 and I'm already a full-time organist at my church. Also I'm always playing weddings and funerals.

Hi, I admire your playing. As a Malaysian, it is very expensive to learn organ.  So, sometimes when I play the organ for church service, I have to adapt.
