Marcello, Psalm 19 www.thejoyofmusic.org

Organist Diane Bish plays this piece on the famous organ of St. Bavo Cathedral in Haarlem, Holland.

An excerpt from "The Glory of the Organ" a CD of Diane playing this organ available on her website:
"The church itself stands in the Grote Market of Haarlem and is a building of superlative acoustics, a sound die-away of about eight seconds. The organ, built by Christian Muller of Amsterdam, was begun in 1735 and took three years to complete. Its appearance is spectacular, the casework embroidered with intricate carvings and shining gold leaf. The case is 90 feet high and 50 feet broad. The playing action is, as originally, by direct trackers, and stop control is by hand. People have come from around the world to see and play this organ with its amazing appearance, its smooth, rich sonorities. Even Mozart made a special trip to play the instrument, one of the finest in Europe."

She looks at her hands too much. (A Masters in organ says I know what I'm talking about, too.)

I love the pedals on this organ! This shows how they were made in Mozart's days! Back then, they didn't color the sharps black.

Thanks for this. I heard this piece many years ago on the Lutheran Hour radio broadcast but never knew the name of it until now.
