Organ: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty"

Played on my church's 1958 Casavant pipe organ (which, yes, needs tuning - its Easter tuning has been scheduled!), to demonstrate the sanctuary's incredibly improved acoustics. The sanctuary is being renovated in anticipation of the church's 50th anniversary. Part of that renovation includes a major acoustical remediation by removing sound-asorbing materials such as acoustical tile, padded pews and carpeting, and by painting the brick and plaster surfaces. The difference is absolutely stunning! (P.S.: The organ is nowhere nearly as shrill as it sounds - it's due to the low-fi nature of the video recording - it has a very full, robust, romantic tonal character.)

Fabulous despite the side-note-mentioned needed tuning. Thank you for sharing :)

I've played on an organ for a service once and it was this song.

Even with it's upper registers being out of tune, it still sounds glorious!! Thanks for sharing this.

If you come to any UK Church (C of E or Catholic) you will almost be garunteed the service's hymns will be played by an organ
