I'm a linguistics major at BYU that loves to play the organ. Most of this channel will be me documenting my musical exploits, but who knows what will happen in the future! I'll try to subtitle all of my videos in Spanish too. 🏳️🌈
Through Deepening Trials — Arr. Christiansen
This is the last of the pieces I brought to France to play that I now get to bring to you; while I have many arrangements like this, this particular piece fit the French organs best in terms of stops required. It is incredibly meditative and the soaring melody is really accentuated by Cavaillé-Coll's incredible Flûtes Harmoniques.
This arrangement by Clay Christiansen can be found in the publication Nine Sacred Hymn Settings for Organ. Recorded via Hauptwerk on the Caen sample set by Sonus Paradisi.

It Is Well with My Soul - Arr. James C. Kasen
zhlédnutí 196Před 2 měsíci
While I was in England, one of my fellow organists on the tour played this beautiful arrangement of It Is Well with My Soul by Kasen. It was inspiring so I decided to adapt the registration to the French style I had heard so much in the week previous. The result is a love letter to the sounds and experiences I had over the course of the trip. I hope you enjoy it. Although this hymn tune was com...
Come Follow Me (Christiansen)
zhlédnutí 131Před 2 měsíci
(From August 6th, 2021) This is an arrangement I recorded a few months ago of the hymn "Come, Follow Me" (#116 in Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 1985). It speaks of the gentle beckoning of the Savior to reach greater heights by following His example: "Come, follow me,” the Savior said. Then let us in his footsteps tread, For thus alone can we be one With God’s own love...
Festive Trumpet Tune - David German
zhlédnutí 38Před 2 měsíci
Aptly named, this piece is a brilliant and exuberant showing of what the organ's loudest stops can do. In this case, it highlights the stentorian Tuba of the Willis organ in Salisbury Cathedral, which I had the pleasure of playing last month. Inspired by this experience and upon returning from England, I wanted to learn a new piece of music to make use of it on the digital version of that organ...
Come, Come, Ye Saints - Arr. Clay Christiansen
zhlédnutí 120Před 2 měsíci
Popularized by its frequent featuring in the daily organ recitals at the Salt Lake Tabernacle during the tenure of Clay Christiansen as Tabernacle Organist, this arrangement is of the hymn Come, Come, Ye Saints, which is perhaps the most famous hymn out of all Latter-day Saint hymnody. The tune is the traditional English "All Is Well" and the words were penned by William Clayton just after rece...
He Is Risen! - arr. John Longhurst
zhlédnutí 67Před 4 měsíci
Happy Easter! This piece is one of the first arrangements for organ that I got when I began transitioning from the piano. In the six years since then, I haven't really had a chance to perform it until today, where I will be using it as a postlude. As such I'm very excited to present it to you with its brilliant opening fanfare and thundering conclusion. This setting was arranged by John Longhur...
Joie et clarté des corps glorieux (Joy and Clarity of the Glorious Bodies) - Olivier Messiaen
zhlédnutí 50Před 5 měsíci
Two months ago I uploaded the second movement of Olivier Messiaen's Les Corps Glorieux, a seven movement work depicting the day of resurrection. Here I'm presenting my favorite movement, which is the sixth. Some people will think immediately that it sounds creepy or angry, but the intention is actually the opposite. Leaping rhythms and exuberant flourishes alternate with more introspective and ...
Récits de Cromorne et de Cornet séparé - Louis-Nicholas Clérambault
zhlédnutí 80Před 5 měsíci
Although most of my fascination of French organ music comes from the early twentieth century, the French classical period also interests me with its graceful ornamentation and strongly colored character. This piece, which I have been preparing to perform on historical instruments from the time period when I go to France next month, is no exception. French baroque pieces are usually short interl...
Prelude Founded on an Old Irish Church Melody - Charles Villiers Stanford
zhlédnutí 85Před 5 měsíci
This is a piece I have recently been working on in organ lessons in preparation for an upcoming trip. I will be going with the organ faculty I have been taking lessons from at BYU to take a tour of some of the famous pipe organs in France and England. The sample set that this piece was recorded on is that of Salisbury Cathedral, which I will get to play in real life! This is the last movement o...
I Answer Questions about Being Religious and Gay
zhlédnutí 323Před 6 měsíci
I wanted to take an opportunity to answer some common questions I have received about being a gay man as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This video is largely geared towards others who are familiar with church language and doctrine, but I am more than willing to answer further questions!

God, Our Father, Hear Us Pray - Arr. James C. Kasen
zhlédnutí 117Před 6 měsíci
James Kasen is another LDS composer whose arrangements I often use when playing at church. This particular one comes from volume eight of his series "Postludes for Church Services", which I pull from often in selecting pieces for preludes and postludes. Based on the hymn tune "Mercy", originally composed by Louis M. Gottschalk, we sing this melody now with the text "God, Our Father, Hear Us Pra...

What organ are you playing?
This console is a hybrid Rodger’s instrument in the teaching studio of Dr. Don Cook at BYU. The sound though was recorded in Hauptwerk on my own laptop on the Friesach sample set by Piotr Grabowski.
great job Kenny. I always loved to hear you play in Brush Prairie Ward. Merry Christmas.
nice work!
What a privilege to play that marvelous instrument. In Humility, Our Savior is one of my favorite hymns. Thank you.
