On A Christmas Night on Theater Organ

Theater Organist Mark Andersen takes us to a romantic Holiday evening by the fire with his own composition "On A Christmas Night." The song was originally composed for the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular in the mid 1970's, and brings us a tone poem about love and the beauty of Christmas Eve shared with your special someone. The organ is the former Brooklyn Fox 4 manual Mighty WurliTzer theater pipe organ, now completely rebuilt with many additions, and situated in the grand room of WurliTzer Manor (www.wurlitzermanor.com). Located in Gig Harbor, WA WurliTzer Manor is now the beautiful home of Barbara G. Hammerman and Raymond Lavine. This is just one selection from a new DVD available from www.intartists.com.

Very beautiful and quiet music. Wonderfull organist. But where does he play, at home or in a museum ?

[internationalartists]

That is Wurlitzer Manor in Gig Harbor, Washington. The home was built around the pipe organ.

I started to cry because this is so beautiful.

Very soulful. I would really like to hear this music in live performance, but I'm thousands of miles away and not come so easy.

Hi Ray. I wanted to thank you for your nice comment. I spent many hours in New York listening to you play and loved every minute of it. You have been an inspiration to so many. It's always a great pleasure to sit and play one of these wonderful instruments.

Take a gifted organist like Mike, add a beautiful, gloss BLACK 4 manual theatre organ console, playing Wurlitzer pipes then add the words "Radio City Music Hall"!!...Ahhh... What's not to like?!

[helloitsmelol097]

I have an old organ that looks like the Wurlitzer because it has colored stops but it is WAY smaller and it needs some fixing. It plays but some keys are stuck so it has a key or two that plays all the time. Other than that I love playing the organ!

One of the best organists I have heard. My dad was a theater organist that played for the silent films.Mark reminds me of him.Thanks for the memories. Lucky 75
