Welcome to Patrick Torsell's channel, and the home of "Chant Talk," a video series where we take a look at various aspects of Catholic sacred music. Patrick is a staff organist at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, CO; Associate Organist at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish (FSSP) in Littleton, CO; and professional tenor with Denver-based Gaudium Verum. Before returning to CO for his day job as a ski resort executive, Patrick was Choirmaster and Organist at Mater Dei (FSSP) in Harrisburg, PA. Previously he was a seminary organist at the FSSP's Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, NE, and Music Director at Blessed Sacrament Church in Stowe, VT.

This is a repost from 2020 from my former role as Music Director at St. Lawrence in Harrisburg, PA. Thought it was worth a repost on my primary channel. What a great little instrument, and how fun to go into its depths to share its workings with you! Enjoy!

Hauptwerk (on a budget) PC Upgrade - I should have done this years ago!
zhlédnutí 361Před 3 měsíci
The original budget PC I built for my affordable Hauptwerk setup in 2013 finally gave up, so it was high time for an upgrade. Amazingly, I still only spent about $800 to bring this build into the present day. Come along as I upgrade the PC, and give the new setup a test run.
Skiing Moguls at Winter Park / Mary Jane, GoPro View | 2/13/24 | Bump Skiing Rules
zhlédnutí 209Před 6 měsíci
As my paternity leave comes to an end, I treated myself to a "mental health day" at Mary Jane to ski some bumps before heading back to the office (which is also a ski resort, so not a bad office). Conditions were decent; not exactly soft, but not too firm. Fun day at the Jane, especially since it was my first real hard skiing day of the season. I've been working in the ski industry for 16 years...

Commenting several years late... but you are a very good teacher. Presently I accompany the ordinary chants and hymns as an amateur organist. I have the same attitude as you: ideally for occasional interludes and postludes I prefer to play something liturgically appropriate. I spend a great deal of time looking for pieces based off of our final hymn tune for a final postlude/meditation - and that is another matter completely, but simply improvising based off of the given propers is an excellent idea. Thanks for fleshing out your method. I'll look through your material for other videos, but I have to say once again: you sir are an excellent teacher. I encourage you to continue you making similar videos or even courses online.
que lindo, queria uma partitura assim para tocar, sou bem em leitura mas nao muito bem de ouvido haha
Didn't expect to see your mugshot on here!
@@billerwin7770 and yet, here I am! Hope you’re well, Bill!
Your improvisations are thrilling to the ears! Improve your lighting of the pedalboard. LED lighting is excellent and simple to install. 8 ft strip commercial grade from Home Depot is great. Do it!!!!!
Une version des plus belles et des plus émouvantes à l’orgue !!! Apprécions ce concerto en tous temps et bien au-delà de la période de Noël !!!
I have a Kawai KE-90 I experienced a blown capacitor, with many attempts, its working now
Can I get the score
All you holy men and women, pray for us
Beautifully played with perfect registration to suit the pathos. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱never forget. Am Yisrael Chai.
Yes 🎉
👑
Thank you for sharing! I love this sort of thing to learn how instruments work!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video.
anywhere that one can find resources to develop a solid chironomy technique?
I would love to see the Officium Parvum Vespers with organ
Very nicely done video. I've been working up for a Grandorgue setup. Grandorgue is a free version of Hawptwerk. I am very happy with the sample sets that they have and honestly better than paying money. Right now, I also have 2 casio keyboards. One which has midi and one that doesn't. I also use 2 expression pedals for crescendo and swell and 3 "toe studs." The 3 toe studs are sustain pedals. It may not be beautiful, may not be professional, but it works. I also have it hooked up to a massive audio system. I am currently in the process of buying a pedalboard.
Great, that's Hauptwerk!1!!!
Transgresora y Bella , que lindo, gracias.💜💜💜
Dios, me vuelvo a enamorar y me vuelvo a emocionar, que hermoso gracias
I love this hymn. The organist at my church played it similarly growing up. Every time he played it, it sounded like flowing water. He is no longer with us. I wish I had a recording.
Went to two Pentecost masses in Florida and did not hear one note of this beautiful chant. One place was a cathedral.😢
Sorry to hear, though I'm not at all surprised. There has been good momentum in the last decade or so toward restoration of sacred music in the Catholic Church, but unfortunately there are still many examples of dreadful, trite, sentimental, and unfaithful music programs. We have a lot of work to do.
English lyrics: We praise thee, O God: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting. To Thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens and all the powers therein. To Thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry, Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Thy Glory. The glorious company of the Apostles praise Thee. The godly fellowship of the Prophets praise Thee. The noble army of Martyrs praise Thee. The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge Thee; The Father of an infinite Majesty; Thine honourable, true, and only Son; Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter. Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father. When Thou tookest upon Thee to deliver man: Thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. Thou sittest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father. We believe that Thou shalt come to be our Judge. We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood. Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints in glory everlasting. O Lord, save Thy people: and bless Thine heritage. Govern them and lift them up for ever. Day by day we magnify Thee; and we worship Thy Name, ever world without end. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us. O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in Thee. O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.
Inspiring improv of the Veni....... Thanks for the pedal board shots, although brief. Would love to see PIP of pedalboard and your pedal technique. Blessed Pentecost to you, too.
Well done Patrick!
Brilliant! I love seeing what you can get out of this tune. The minor key section is something I'd never have thought of creating based on this tune. Thank you for continuing this tradition, and may you have a blessed Pentecost Sunday!
I'd love to get that sample set
Ok, who is your publisher. I would buy your hymn settings.
Congrats on your upgrade. I use Grand orgue on an old business laptop; really ought to do something like this.
You should move the RAM sticks to slot 2 and 4 (A2 and B2) for dual channel speeds :)
Now if only that soundtrack would play every time I build a computer at the office. :-D Also it would probably help to bring some cigars and Scotch.... Congratulations, and may the machine make glorious music for many years!
Really, Really BIG improvement in equipment since since 2013. Sounds great!! Congratulations Look forward to many more videos.
Great new setup, and no duct tape was harmed in the building of the new PC! 😅 What version of windows did you decide to run? Are you annoyed yet at the little on line license check Hauptwerk has to run when loading? 😊 I think the raw video audio sounds great. Now all you need is a 20'' powered subwoofer for those 16' & 32' stops. My 32' stops really came alive when I added a 15'' sub and a low. Frequency isolation amp to drive it. 🎉
Thanks! Win10 Pro. Not interested in Win11, and will hold out as long as possible. Yes, the license check is very annoying. I really would prefer to run offline. I suppose after the check I can unplug the NIC, and just plug it back in if I have to reboot or close HW. Believe it or not, those big tower speakers have massive 15" drivers in the rear that do a pretty darned good job with the 32' stops, at least down to around F right now. My bigger limitation is the room size & proportions that won't allow, for example, a 15hz wave to even form. When I had those same speakers in a good sized church, I got pretty pure 32' tone down to the low D. C never quite formed. But D did. Someday when I have the space, I'll definitely add a proper powered sub.
Finally, someone else who uses the proper terminology of "extraordinary" and "ordinary"
Lucky duck.
Nice descant Patrick
bravo! more organ videos!!! I have been waiting to see more of your performance for long~!
Looking forward to see more hauptwerk recordings from you, have been missing them.
Now we expect Sunday Vespers every week
Congrats on the upgrades! Here’s to many more years of fun from this setup!!
Thanks Jerry!
Beautiful! 😊
A beautiful instrument, lovely full and rich sound.made on a budget.
I'm using this chant for Sunday Ascension 2024, can't wait to try out your rendition before the choir sings for offertory.
Here it is May and I saw a weather report that made me think of you. It appeared there was some serious spring snow a couple of weeks ago in southwestern Colorado, and I gave thanks. Hope that was true. Always take good care of those hands.
Learnt so much ! Thanks 🙏
Looking forward to seeing the new PC 🙏
Love your channel bro. You are so informative with your Gregorian Chant teachings.
Steve has been a dear friend since our days at the CIA. Steve brought my guitar playing to an amazing new level. I eventually was invited to play guitar & harmonica with him locally in the Hudson Valley. We did many caterings together and he & Rachel played at our wedding back in '98. I lost count of how many times we went to the Martin Guitar Factory together. He helped me pick out my first Martin, and then cracked me up when he would continually bug me about selling it to him. We lost touch around 2010, and since Steve wasn't really an Internet guy, trying to track him down was next to impossible. I only found out a few months ago when I Googled him again that he passed. My wife & I are crushed. Thank you for sharing your cover of his song. It was always amazing sitting in the same room with him and listening to his guitar & vocal talent. I recently dug out some old recordings he made. Looking to digitize them and get them uploaded to CZcams very soon. Thank you again, Al
