- A demonstration of the 11 stop 1880s Nicholson organ of St. Peter's Church Chelmarsh, Shropshire.
A lovely little organ in a beautiful setting!
Thank you to all involved for the very warm welcome and the invitation to come and play the organ!
I'm impressed you spend your time showing off what the organ has to offer in a very positive and enthusiastic style. And not devoting time to lament it's lack of mixtures, reeds or mutations. Keep up the good work!
Great video. Keep up the good work. All the best. Terry x
Well well. Here's Terry Miles, a very talented pianist and organist! I appreciate your talents and Church Quests and Pub Quests. From Virginia, USA.
The Gamba and Voix Celeste in conjunction sound heavenly. What an ethereal sound.
As you said, probably more handy than having an oboe there as a solo reed.
nicholsons organ builders are now located in leigh sinton just down the road from where i live and my local church st edburga down in leigh has a superb nicholson organ i play it just for enjoyment now it has a very rich tonal quality aside from this nicholson organ the organ in my local church has a lovely oboe on the swell and a swell to great sub octave which really adds some power to the sound
Hi there Matt. I hope you're well. All the boogie best. Terry
So good to see another young organist who is talented and willing to share with the world. The Nicholson organ may be small but it has a great sound. I appreciate you playing a long enough part to let us enjoy the different features.From an organ lover in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, near Washington, DC. I see you have a comment from Terry Miles. He has a great series on Church Quest where he visits many old churches in England and demonstrates their organs. I look forward to more of you enlightening videos.
Nice demonstration. Well done.
I look forward to seeing you make more of these. One small tip: wear a lapel mic as your commentary is hard to hear without turning up the volume!
I Love your direct approach to describing & demonstrating the instruments. I wonder whether you have thought of trying the Conicher organ in Wem Methodist Church, which is an unusual and delightful instrument?
What the name pice u played on the organ hugh
Consider getting a lapel microphone because older viewers like me with less-than-youthful hearing find it well-nigh impossible to catch much of what you are saying. Your speech is clear enough but the camera mic just isn't designed to catch it all.
Sorry, eh, I eh, was eh too eh distracted eh by the eh number of eh times you preceded eh a sentence with eh, eh
a nice video - but try not to be "so zapelig" (as Bach would have said)
