Very pleasant listening this Sunday afternoon. Thank you for bring this lovely piece to my attention and so wonderfully well played with ‘ear catching” registration.
Dear Master, Pachelbel's flair is here enhanced by your very accurate and fine execution that makes the Chorale and its variations unique pieces despite the invariance of the theme. As always, my sincere appreciation.
Well, this was a welcome treat to discover! I don’t know this piece but will enjoy getting to know it. The organ sounds are perfectly suited to the feel of the piece, and as always your playing is sublime. Thank you Philip🤗🎹❤️
Philip, thank you for the well-played piece! It was very enjoyable! I found the Registration notes in the bottom corner as a useful addition to a well-made video. Thanks!
Philip, I don't always take the time to comment, but I love the way you can take a short, listenable, often familiar piece (to organists, at least) and play it so beautifully that it's like breath of fresh air. (Yes, I like the longer pieces too, like the recent trio sonata!). Your phrasing, touch, and expression are always impeccable.
Bach took this hymn tune, added a nice arpeggio echoing the chord sequence, and gave us Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. One thing I didn't know was that Johann Pachelbel was good friends with Bach's father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, and was the Godfather of Bach's older sister.
Bill, not only the chord sequence below the flowing 9/8 melody, but the chorale tune itself, "hidden" within it, especially in the intro and interludes to the first phrase of the chorale. Check out the rhythmically stressed tones (e.g., B - C - D - D) at the beginning. It was only after about 10K times playing "Jesu, Joy...." 🙂that I realized (duh!) that the intro is an ornamentation of the chorale tune and a foretaste of it. Thanks for the info about the connections between Pachelbel and the Bach family.
Beautiful !!! Bravo maestro !!! Thank you Philip !!! 🥰🙏👍
Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words!

Thank you Andrew. I find at Pachebel is very straightforward and often quite intuitive so listen to. Thank you for leaving a kind comment!

Pachelbel knew how to develop a tune to utmost advantage this is lovely dear friend and beautifully played.
So kind of you to write that Michael! 😌

It was also unknown to me but I have to play (yet another) baroque organ concert in a month time and I wanted to learn something new!
