  • Sinfonia to Cantata No. 29 "We Thank Thee, God"

    Arranged by Robert Hebble

    Published by The Sacred Music Press

    The piece is available individually, but it is also included in the music collection titled, "Ted Alan Worth in Concert" published by The Sacred Music Press.

  • why is this so slow?

  • because i can't play fast.

  • hey !I was wondering where you got a copy of christos patterakis . .. Do you know jimmy culp personally?

  • In 1960s, Roy Perry was in town installing a new Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ at a church, and he gave a copy of hand-written manuscript to the organist. Then, the organist's daughter gave me the copy.

  • personally I like it a little slower.. many play it way to fast.. to fully hear phrasing and themes well. My 2 cents.. Miss Bish and I studied under some of the same teachers in Kansas.. but she plays alot faster than I do most times.

see all

  • Have you ever thought about making tutorials on how to play the pipe organ?

  • If Kiyow is the ORGANIST of First United Methodist Church I must say BRAVO! I have listened to all of FUM Church organ performances and especially the organist. Is the organist Dr. Watanabe? If so is he a teacher at a college of music or what? Give us information please? Thank you

  • I think the tempo is just right.  I personally would prefer less heavy reeds in the pedal, but that's just me.

  • As a National Councillor and Former Regional Councillor of the American Guild of Organists, Thanks for the awesome work.

    On of my favorites is to activate the 2 64' stops, 4 32' stops, and 8 16' stops when I am alone and no one is around to criticize the music. Although at Masonic Temple when I thought I was alone, the curator and 15 members attending a tour gave me one heck of a standing ovation. "We have never heard this temple ROCK like that before." was the answer I got from them

  • Lo sublime de los más sublime.

  • Just a quick comment. After your performance I re-listened to Bish who I thought had the "cat's meow". After yours it was like listening to the Grand Prix of organ performance. Keep slowing it down, Bach becomes so much sweeter. Thanks!!!

  • @kiyow I love your answer, by the way, but played this very amazing

  • dsol, it's not that slow. I'd say it's just about right- besides, I'd rather hear it clean than fast & messed up.

    Great job!

    Bravo Kiyo!!!! :)

  • Growling stops - not a good choice.

  • @kiyow Little slow, yeah, but pretty clean nonetheless!
