Hi Wayne, Great performance. Excellent petals.  You touched D sharp at 1:00 but were able to avoid it at 1:18. Maybe at 1:00 the D sharp did not actually sound. Could you please comment?

@titussloong

Thanks for your comments and for viewing. Glad you enjoyed it.

I camcorded the actual performance but someone bumped the camcorder tripod. So I quickly dashed this recording off the next day and, yes, there are one or two stray pedal notes!

Greetings to you in Hong Kong from New Jersey, USA.

Cheers,

Wayne

I love watching your videos with the pedals. It is a good example for me to follow. I need to use more economy of motion with my feet. Unfortunately, I am 6'3" and need to raise the bench up on boards or books, but when I do that, my knees hit the bottom of the keyboard. AND....it seems as if every organ is configured differently, in spite of the AGO specs for the pedalboard.

@Shenandoah58

Thanks for your kind comments and for viewing.

Wonderful playing!

I have been playing the guitar for 4 years, just have started playing keyboard. Tries to play some Bach and other organ stuff :p.

Great economy of motion playing the pedal division.

[titussloong]

Thanks, Wayne, for your reply, not only here but to my e mail. You did beautifully at 3:07 and 3:25. Ha ha, you got A++ there. Excellent organ and conducting ministry you have there. Warm greetings from Hong Kong to all your choir members. Be sure to pass this on to them at your next choir practice. God bless. Titus

@perrythewhite

Yes, David Johnson wrote these in a Neo-Baroque style.

Thanks for your comments and for viewing.

@joenwayne

Thank you, in my opinion it sounds very similar to baroque style trumpet tunes by Handel or Purcell. I've studied keyboard and am very interested in learning how to play an organ. It's a hobby to watch and study performances on the organ. Thanks for the info.
