Pipe Organ: O Come, All Ye Faithful

Me playing the second song during communion 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.

If you put the same passion and commitment into medicine as you do the pipe organ, you will be a great doctor!

I've had a passion for the organ all my life, and this fall (2010) I celebrate 41 years on the bench. Thank you for your passion and your many performances heard here on youtube. You play well, and should never stop!

Soli Deo Gloria,

Dave

Wonderful improvisation!

[sondasam]

I actually improvised quite a bit. But the basic arrangement is the standard Adeste Fideles that can be found in any hymnal in the key of G major.
