CATHEDRAL AMBIENCE: VOL III | 1 HOUR of Calming Pipe Organ Music for Meditation, Study, and Sleep

- The third installment in my ambient pipe organ music series, over 1 hour in a soothing world of sound, played and recorded live on a 1924 organ, originally built by Aeolian Skinner in Pasadena, California.
I began this series as a way to demonstrate the pipe organ's calmer side, and as an experiment in improvisatory meditative music over a long stretch of time, allowing the listener to drift off into a deep calm and perhaps right into sleep. While the organ recording is live in one take, I did add a huge cathedral reverb to the audio in editing, giving the listener the experience of being in a massive acoustic space and hearing this music wash over you. This video also features images I took in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, UK in January of 2023.

I just discovered these videos - so perfect for my morning and evening devotions. Thank you for this blessing!
Bellísimo!!! Sublime!!!
Thank you Aaron for putting this together for us out here in the ether 🤫🤫🤫🤫😴😴😴😴
You're welcome! I also use these myself for afternoon naps...
Thank you for this music. I often listen to it as I do stretching exercises before sleep. As an Anglican, I appreciate the images of Ely, Liverpool, and St. Paul's cathedrals.
❤ Fantastic ❤ love this so much
I've been trying to find ambient organ music videos like this for awhile now and although there are many well known classical pieces that are soothing, they tend not to fill me with relaxation for any great length of time, say besides some Messiaen pieces, for example. In any case, I just wanted to say thank you for making such great music and showcasing the organ's diversity. It is such a shame that the more romantic-based organ with its orchestral like timbres doesn't get the credit it deserves. However, I'm grateful to be part of a small group of music lovers who so happens to see and appreciate this often touching and powerfully emotive instrument. Thank you for what you do! God bless you. 🙏
Thank you so much! I was also looking for ambient organ music as well, and couldn't find any, so that's why I ended up playing/recording my own. I will definitely be making more soon
@@aaronshows Thank you, Aaron! I look forward to hearing more of your excellent improvisations🙏
Hey man...proud to be one of the few chosen to comment on the video. As usual, I randomly fell into your videos looking for meaning in everything, and music has always been my tool of transcendence.
The most interesting thing is that I have been going to sleep this past week and wake up in the morning listening your pieces. After repeating them many times during my day, I doubted that maybe they were all the work of a generative AI. I was so surprised by the lack of direction... I couldn't find any "classical" structure that evolved from one point to another, it was simply contemplative beauty "per se". At the end, I built my own argumentation to justify the right to any AI to create art. I work with AI tools, and I wouldn't dare to argue nor for or against about when consciousness spontaniously emerge.
Clearly, the surprise was when I decided to see more of your material, and found a modest talented human sitting in front of an organ. So... no AI, NO SYNTHESIZERS.
Words cannot describe what triggers these little gems in each individual, nor how they manifested themselves to you. So I leave to each one his experience lived through listening to you.
Thanks!
Fantastisch 🙏🏼😊
Marvellous. Begin the morning, like this. 🙏😊
Aaron.. These just keep getting better. I think this is my favorite one so far. It seemed to be full of light.
Thanks Brooks! I definitely feel like I'm getting better at the process for creating them, so I appreciate your feedback. They each seem to have their own unique "fingerprint" in various ways.
Sooooo relaxing. Beautifully put together!
Thanks Jerry! Certainly a different kind of improv mindset, and it actually takes quite the focus to not have any note slips when you're 45 minutes in and it's only going to be one take.
Awesome!!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!👏👏👏
Great music, pal! Thanks for sharing it with the world. Greetings from México. 🙂
Absolutely amazing! Your music calms and relaxes. I drifted off to sleep. Thank you.
It's like "Ambient Church" without the crowd!
@@aaronshows 😂😃
I would really love to know the names of these songs. My heart is melting.
The entire piece was improvised, so it's one very long song! Thank you for your kind words 💙
@@aaronshows beautifully done. Did you set out with any rough framework in terms of voices, keychanges etc, or did you simply dive in & hit the keys?
I wrote out a few different chord progressions on a piece of paper in front of me because, when I'm 30 minutes in, my brain is looking for anything to focus on, so that helps when I'm in the thick of it, but everything is improvised!
Hi Aaron! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful music! I was wondering if I might have your permission to use some of your ambient organ music as a background to accompany my reading of Anglican Morning and Evening Prayer, according to the Book of Common Prayer, for a podcast project that I am working on, provided you are given credit in the show notes for each episode where your music is used?
Yes, it's okay to use, if credit is given. I would also like to hear the podcast when it's available! I'm always interested to hear where my music ends up...
@@aaronshows Hello! Where can we purchase these Cathedral Recordings!!???
Release all your worries and stress, drifting off as you lie in this relaxing bed of sound. How does this ambient music experience make you feel? Let me know in the comments below 🧘♂🏰🎶
Again, great to read with this music playing quietly.
Oh... are these three Cathedral Organ pieces available for purchase? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
They were improvised live, so they unfortunately aren't written down, but I appreciate your interest!
y yo tan solo , que he hecho yo para recibir un castigo tan grande ?.....soga misericordiosa tú me salvarás....
I hope this video brings you some calm 🙏🏻
This is absolutely beautiful.
I did take one semester of Organ my last year in college. I got an A minus because I was not very good at the pedaling.
Unfortunately, for the last 7 years I have been dealing with a disease called Myalgic Encephalomyolitis Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Essentially, it is a Disregulation of the Autonomic Nervous System.
It is only recently that I have really started to heal. I have realized that the majority of this illness for me is not being in a state of calm. Being in a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze is certainly not the best for anyone😮.
Thus, your music is just what the doctor ordered!!!!
May God continue to bless you and your family.
Miss Monique 🙂🌷🙏💗
Mlle Monique. Je suis désolé que vous ayez cette maladie, mais ,Dieu merci, vous avez trouvé la musique de Mr Aaron sur internet. J'ai trouvé par hasard cette musique sur Internet et adressé toutes mes félicitations au compositeur J'ai 82 ans , j'ai fait une carrière dans la marine marchande ( chimicals, tankers and products) et à l'âge de 55 ans j'ai décidé d'apprendre l'orgue pour jouer , et accompagner les chants de messe dans mes paroisses de Cassis et Carnoux en Provence. malheureusement , en France , on ne peut entrer au conservatoire à cet âge. En Amérique , c'est possible. Mlle Monique, croyez moi La foi et la prière font des miracles. "Aime ton prochain comme toi-même" autrement dit : il faut s'aimer, c'est à dire retrouver la confiance en soi. Je prierai pour vous .....en coutant la musique de Aaron...God bless you .Michel Tretout @@moniquelemaire5333
Not nearly enough "smoke". I can clearly make out the lights, columns, candles, altars, etc...
