Me again at the 101 rank organ at St. Paul's in Cambridge, MA. Although I know this song as "America" I must acknowledge it was God Save the Queen first for my friends in the UK. I am doing stem cell research with a guy from Cambridge and another from Oxford who found this song quite interesting to hear at the Boston 4th of July festivities.

  • I'm impressed with the sound quality- the instrument is mostly digital as I recall from playing there 5 years ago.. do you know how many genuine sets of pipes it has´?

  • @hhsaslterps , I know. I played in sock feet with a textured bottom. More control on the pedals.

  • I was an organist at a cathedral. I played without shoes...love the sock feet.

  • The second to last variation is also in FM and is fun, whimsical and light followed by a broad, maestoso version of the hymn with big chords. It is quite nice...

  • Have you ever heard Janet Linker"s arrangement of "Meditation and Variations on America"? I am playing it next Sunday for Prelude. It starts out with a meditation, then plays the straight hymn, followed by a eighth note variation. Next movement is in f minor with melody in pedal, followed in F Major with melody in Tenor. The next variation is almost like a prayer in f minor, followed by a robust hymn like in F M with running pedal line.

  • Great !!!  The flip flops are a nice touch :)

  • wait, wait.........stem cell research and an accomplished organist!! Congratulations...why not organize a tour of the US and/or europe playing the great organs.....

  • This is God Save The Queen (also My Country, 'Tis of Thee) whatever came first is usually written first.

  • Super gespielt! :)

    Festlich, Feierlich und die Volle Orgel. So muss das sein ;)

  • formidable interpretacion
