What an impressive organ!

[DeadEyeSprout]

i've played this organ, and attempted this piece of music on the organ, VERY complicated piece it's in 15/16 time signature

Dr Ore's parents where members of my Dad's church in Iowa, he came to give a recital on our Hinner's tracker organ what a pleasure in the middle of nowhere

Great recording. This is one of my favorite hymns and I often play it on the organ. However, my skills are no where near that of the artist in this recording.

Bravo! A tribute to God...

[Justintime4math]

The quality of the recording is perhaps the best I've ever heard. So clear, no distortion, dynamics and tone seem unaffected from what it would've sounded like live, VERY NICE!

I was one of his students, also! What a blessing to me! I enjoy his creative style with hymn tunes!

Dr. Ore played for our wedding 23 years ago. It was a pleasure to listen to him every Sunday.

I used to work with Charles Ore. Imagine hearing this great stuff twice each Sunday!

[Jetli390]

@doothless That and more! And Angels that can out-sing them!

[duncanmacster]

It is an amazing instrument and the virtuosity of the organist is in no doubt. But to a layman like me I so want to hear it thunder out the hymn in a form that I can recognise and sing along with. 2.41 is kind of where I like it!
