Me Playing Christmas Carols on Salisbury Cathedral Organ 2010

This is me messing about with my Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe organ featuring a 3rd of the Father Willis organ in Salisbury Cathedral UK.
This is a collection of 5 Advent & Christmas Carols warts and all because I had only just woken up when I played them and was playing without music.
I am also only using one keyboard and had to change the stops while playing using the mouse hence some wrong notes in places.
I know this is not a concert performance but hopefully gives a good idea of how the first release of the Hauptwerk Sample set sounds.

Great work, mate.

@ludwigvan17 Thank you. Happy New Year :-)

do i need real console?

[goodchappy]

@HONGYOUNGEUN Ideally you do need a console but you can make do with a MIDI keyboard and a MIDI pedal board. All the information can be found on the hauptwerk website.

What is that program name? I mean the virtual organ.

[goodchappy]

@Zumipali2 The program is Hauptwerk, you can find out all about it at their website w/w/w/.hauptwerk /./com

@RupertW1 Thank you for your comments on my unseasonal contribution.

Salisbury is a nice, unspoilt place and the Cathedral is THE landmark.



[RupertW1]

Most enjoyable, you certainly have talent. I'd love to see Salisbury's wonderful cathedral. Keep up your good work!

@snoodify Thanks for your comment. I really was half asleep and in a hurry to get to work when I did this collection.

Hauptwerk really is unquestionably the best virtual pipe organ there is as long as the sample sets are designed and made properly, in my opinion some of them are lacking something especially when it comes to the singing of each pipe. The Salisbury Cathedral one so far is very good, though I wish they would hurry up and release the whole organ.

Even though your excuses about just waking up etc, it sounds great. It's always suprising to hear what the Hauptwerk software is capable of.
