When Morning Gilds the Skies-Loudes Domini

Got a new camera and the sound is much better now. I got inspired to post this one after hearing bhigdaddymark's post of the same tune. He plays way better than I do though.

Is this organ a Johannus by chance?

[JerzyDude732]

Yes it is. Opus 10

I wasn't serious about the organ being removed. Dr. Coffin married us (ran into the ex yesterday @ Wal-Mart), & David Higgs played. A friend's daughter is getting married there in August, and Chris is playing that wedding. Take care Steve........

I don't think Chris is going to be replaced. He is filling in as director until and new one can be found. I think it was the Diapason that I got that info from. He is a talent and my friend told me organ was not his major at the school. I think he said it was the cello.

I have to agree. Change is not always a good thing and it would be a real shame if that organ was removed.

Did Dr. Forbes marry you? Who was the organist? You must have had some great music.

WOW! 600k?! Idiots....Why would they even look for another organist to replace Christopher? He's from all that I know, a good organist but then again, politics. The direction in which Riverside has changed, it wouldn't surprise me if they stop using the organ all together, dismantle it, and use a frickin hammond B3. Sometimes change isn't all that its cranked up to be................

The new ministers $600.000 salary package was a bit much for several of the members to digest. This has led to the ministers resignation only after being there a few months.

Good to hear tho that the A/S has been put back to 100%. I have also heard that Chris Johnson is the interim head organist until another is found. I met him a few years ago at Riverside via another graduate of the Manhattan School of Music. My friend and I were there for a Fred Swann concert.

One of the curators of the Riverside organ and I have been friends for 42 years. The last time we spoke (which was 6 months ago), the organ had been fully returned to 100% playable. I think the stone work that was being done which caused dust to damage some of the organ has been completed. I'm a member of Riverside (got married there in 1983), but since I live in FLA., I'm not sure of what's going on there internally, and don't care. Church is a business like other businesses full of ass wipes.

Mark, that was very kind of you to say.. thanks.

What is the latest you have heard about the RIverside organ? I know Ken Cowen had a concert there the other night. I guess it is in fairly good working order. I hope the inner turmoil with the pastor wont have any affect.

[bhigdaddymark]

But JerzyDude732, YOU DID play this better than I did, you played it RIGHT!! Nice post brother!
