Recently discovered the channel, appreciate the combination of history, local scenes of English villages and churches, all the music - including your own work - and especially the central place given to great hymns that express the message in accordance with the Bible. This indeed is a favourite hymn of mine too. Thank you for occupying a very welcome niche, and I hope it promotes interest in old churches and the message that inspired them at the start.
Wonderful. This is a favorite hymn. The author of these words, Thomas O. Chisholm, was born just a few miles from our home here in Kentucky. Thank you for sharing.
Very informative and beautiful playing. Please continue with such informative videos on hymn playing.
Amazing performace, being a pianist myself, I appreciate the grandeur of the organ and the organists!
Beautiful playing and one of my favorite hymns as well! Great giving a thumbnail explanation of how the pipe organ is played!
It is written: PSALM 92: 1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound."
Beautiful. One of my favourite Hymns.
A Great American Hymn indeed. "Winter and Summer and Springtime & Harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love." Would love to hear you play Piano sometime too - just to compare. This Hymn is popular in Canada too. If you have time-- my Favourite American Hymn is This is My Father's World. Love to hear you play that.
Just excellent, thank you, and for the intro as well!
Absolutely magnificent!
Absolutely magnificent
I have never heard this hymn played better. It is my favorite hymn and your registrations were beautiful.
Thank you for the beautiful music and video!
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
as Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.
Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
all I have needed Thy hand hath provided:
great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest;
sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. [Refrain]
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow:
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! [Refrain]
Very well played with expression !
I started off as a pianist who plays the organ. I've since taught myself how to use the pedals and stops but I still have a long way to go.
God bless you, from your catholic brother ✝️
One of my favourite non-English Hymnal hymns. Great informative presentation too, thanks
Beautiful and lovely explanation.
Great talent and good looks, what a combination
That Trumpet stop is amazing
I needed this today; thank you, Ben
Thank you Ben ! I very much enjoy and learn from your organ videos, and hope you record many more. My other favorite organists are Richard McVeigh, Jonathan Scott, Paul Fey, and the wonderfully irrepressible Anna Lapwood.
I love this. “Morning by morning…”.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much❤
Been waiting for you play Great Is Thy Faithfulness in one of your videos, would be so good if you could play Be Still for The Presence Of The Lord, thanks Ben.
Thanks!
Do I love this one yes I do. It is the ministers favourite hymn. and mine to. He’s in man of God
As one of those pianists pressed into service on an organ, I really appreciate the differences, and the skill of those who can “walk” and play at the same time. I used to play on an instrument that had an A.P toggle that seemed to double the lowest note on the great to the pedal an octave below. It was a help, but in no way approximated a good pipe organ. As a Canadian, I wonder if you might consider some of our hymns too. We sing many of the American ones you have played, but Healy Willan’s work, among others, are well worth playing and singing.
Beautiful!
Might you include “Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded “ in one of your next postings? I love you sharing your gift music and church organ visits. Looking forward to more. Blessings.
THANK YOU for this gift ! I am in USA, this is such a blessing!
Lovely
Wonderful hymn fantastic playing❤❤
I so enjoy your programme. Loved the quip about pianists playing the organ. I am one of those😂 and always feel frustrated because I can't get into too gear😂Thsnk you for your expert playing.
prachtig stuk speelt u weer in deze video. I like it very much. THANKS
❤Ben that was so fantastic moves me
Agree with it all except opening comments - I have played both and appreciate the differences in technique
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Even though the organ can be expressive, it isn't simple as the piano's "more force means more volume". Your console manipulation is beautiful to watch, as are the rapid registration changes without benefit of combination action. The performance of the hymn didn't show your pedal work, but it can be inferred by watching the bass keys on the Swell being played coupled to the pedal (why is that key being depressed by a finger that isn't there?).
Bill, the organ Ben is playing is called a "tracker" organ, in which you'll see keys on the manuals "tracking" depressed pedals.
Thank you for playing such a beautiful hymn, one of my favorites for sure. I have a question. I noticed that while you were playing the lower row of keys, the upper row was also being played but by the organ itself. How do the two rows differ and what makes you choose one or the other?
Do I detect a 16 foot Pedal Reed
Hello Ben! Are you a previous organ scholar at either Oxford or Cambridge?
Oxford, St Peter’s
@@SalisburyOrganist ah cool! Im a current 1st year music student at Trinity, Oxford. Played the organ last night with my friend who’s one of the scholars
I’m envious of the fact that your church is always empty of people so you can actually play the organ… Catholics in my church are always praying in the chapel no matter what time of day, and they have complained about the volume…to my boss.
A great hymn.
