I'm not quite sure what's so great about this video--in fact, I'm rather disappointed with it, but thanks for all the kind comments. One of my favorite hymns. The organ is a Ruffatti. It has 53 ranks of pipes. About 40 digital ranks.
This young guy is excellent in my book. Being an organist, since I was 6, I am so glad to see young people have taken an interest in the instrument. The "praise band" is not worship to me. Look at the Crystal Cathedral...it is history. I am so glad it will be used like it should be.
I can tell you what's so great about this video, even if you are disappointed with it. The great part is for us to watch a very talented and gifted young man practicing his craft. When I was your age, I had to be pried away from the organ to go home and do my other homework. This coming fall (2012) I will have been an organist for 43 years of my life. The gift of being able to play is our gift from God-what we do with it is our gift back. Keep up the good work!!!
Man oh man! What an inspiration this young man is to me! Great church music and creative and rousing organ playing is in safe hands with the likes of this young musician. I love the was end confidence with which he plays. Please record more!
...v well done young man , unlike professional organists who ,more interested in their own viruosity , usually play hymns too slowly .... church congregations are there to sing along with gusto not to be dragged along by turgid playing ! don't have self doubts . god bless !
Superb! I really enjoyed that, especialy the reeds at 2:45!
Keep up the good work...
