Beautiful, Music that lifts and inspires. 🙏😊

Thankyou.

Don't know how many times I've re-listed to this 😍

Play something slow

Amen Hallelujah Hallelujah Thank YOU HOLY SPIRIT for the Glorious gospel songs. Lamb of God,Thou now art seated High upon Father's throne.

expand your chest, put scapulae down and together, look downward at instrument without tiltin head.

When Hanel was old & his eyesight was failing, he was going to conduct a concert, but when he was told that the organist was to be Stanley, he said. "Haven't you read your Bible? Ifcthe blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the pit!

If I set the volume low enough so that my neighbors aren't disturbed, then I can't hear the soft bits from across the room, nor from the other room.

The ships sailed to Bethlehem. Must have had flight capability.

Just the right tempo. Beautifully played.

Somehow the bass wasn't comin throughward strongly enough. Were you usin pedals or just left hand?

Great insturment.

Very nice Rodney!

I will always listen and re-listen anything you play on the Berlin! Incredible video as always.

My favorite rendition of this work! The bell stop adds a whimsical contrast between repetitions of the main theme.

Am I correct to assume you'd use one foot to keep air in the bellows and the other foot to play the bass pedals?

Please wwhat’s the name this book??

I also had (but no longer have) a Seybold reed organ. It had come out of the Catholic Church in Castle Rock, CO in, I believe, the 1950s. It had seven full sets of reeds along with the Sub Bass (which it sounded like the organ in the recording also has), and also had a magnificent sound at full organ, along with a very nice variety of sounds. One of the full sets of reeds in the Seybold I had was a "Reed Pipe" stop which had a very different, almost "hooty", non-reedy sound. The organ was inscribed (by the assembler?) with a name and a 1917 date just under the keyboard, behind the front screen facing the organist. In 1997 (when I sold it), amazingly, it had the original bellows cloth on it.

What is the clicking at the end?

Very cool and historically fascinating. I wonder if the instrument has been registered with the Royal Canadian College of Organists since it has never been tampered with from its original state. Impressive!

I still come here daily to listen to this song. God bless you.

Here is a translation (not mine) of the Welsh words for which this melody was written. Grant me the peace beyond earth's understanding; Peace, heavenly peace, Christ bought on Calvary's hill; And when the wave on my weak soul is pounding, Here by his cross I hear him, "Peace! Be still!" O grant the peace no storm on earth can shatter, Nor ever weary, never once remove; And in the darkest night this peace shall keep us, Resting secure in God our Father's love. Grant us the peace to work for heaven, accepting Without despair the hardships of this age; Knowing that nothing from your love can part us, Although the storms about us here may rage. O for the peace that flows on like a river Through God's own city, by the tree of life; Peace after anguish, to the throng of pilgrims, Beyond the veil, leaving behind all strife.

Hi Rodney, I purchased my first reed organ yesterday. Its a beautiful Beckwith (Sears & Roebuck) in excellent condition with the bellows having recently been refurbished. The reeds do need to be cleaned and tuned. I need to check it with a tuner. It seems to be 448-452. Is your Berlin organ in this pitched at 440? Thanks for making these videos. This song and Highland Cathedral on the Packard are my favorites! Also are some of the organs you have pitched at 440?

My father was a music lecturer and organist and used to say the church stole all the good tunes of old.😂😂😂

I had this song at my baptism <3 love it

A year later and still, WOW!!

So beautifully voiced. I love playing my 21 stop (324 reed) CW

Rodney's skill at coaxing dynamics and soulful shades of sound out of the reed organ is truly astounding. A true master at work! My whole family is entranced by your playing. Thanks for sharing these videos!

I really love this instrument and the music being played on it, very rich indeed

That's beautiful song I love it so much thanks God blessings to you. ❤❤❤️🤍💞🌹🌻🌷🌺💮✝️🙏🕊️😇

Nice

Wonderful

Hello, thank you for another beautiful recording ! I am wanting to try and record some harmonium music, and I was wondering if you could suggest a suitable microphone (like the one you use in this video). The harmonium I play is a 1870s Adolphonse Rodolphe. Many thanks :)

Great sounding reed organ performance. I wish I could play it too with my 110 year old Chicago cottage.

Great job, as usual.

Beautiful.

And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark Satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire. I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.

Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa Sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle Pääs seppälöimä suurten muistojen Oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle Sä että karkoitit orjuuden Ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle On aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa

Is there a college with a music school reasonably close? It would be great if you could get some students invto play chamber music with the organ.

The warm reedy parlor tone really works well for this.

COOL!!!

Have you ever played azcalliope?

What's the name of the tune?

What a pleasant, well defined and uncomplicated sound.👍🏻Puts me in mind of the showman's organs of yesteryear.

Awesome Rodney! Great played. This is how it's gonna be played. I love this hymn and I already look forward to play this when the time has come 🙂

Unglaublich

❤

You captured so much of what makes the organ quite probably my favorite instrument in this video with the heavenly softness of the opening passage to the thundering sections later on. Such a range of expression! Your ability to bring both instruments and music itself to life is inspiring.
