Adeste Fidelis

This is the reharm I used for the congregational hymn 'Adeste Fidelis' or 'Come, All Ye Faithful,' although this recording isn't from the Christmas Eve service, and I left out a verse. This is my first time posting on YouTube, and the performance is only okay. The organ is a Casavant Freres, 3 manual with pedals, 37 stop, 52 rank northern German style Baroque instrument, opus 3225. I'd love any feed back, but keep in mind that I know that the performance isn't perfect, so don't tell me where I missed notes! The camera I used doesn't pick up the low end of the organ well, and you can really only hear the reeds.

@m173627 Glad you enjoyed it - It's too bad that you can't really hear the full spectrum of sound from the organ! We recently have changed to Foley-Baker our of Tolland, CT for our organ maintenance, and the tuning and overall reliability of the organ has improved dramatically. Perhaps I'll re-record this so everyone can hear the changes.

Yeah I tried listening with headphones but I don't think your mic picks up the low registers too much. Still great though

@m173627 yeah, it's recorded on a digital video camera with no additional sound equipment - eventually I'll get some good microphones

dscats, Excellent! I organ sounds and stop selection were perfect, please continue. What state is the church located? Are you the organist there?

Thanks

The church is Christ Church United Methodist in Glens Falls, NY.... it was installed in 1974, Casavant (Brunzema)... I've been at the church for almost 3 years as organist and choir director... thanks for your response!

@dscats19 I love the Brunzema era Casavants. His finest effort is in the Cathedral here. Lovely playing on an outstanding organ.
