Obituary/Guest Book: www.rlyostfuner...
After having listened to Mr. Coriddi's playing of Gigout's GRAND CHOEUR DIALOGUE I ventured into CZcams to see what other recordings he might have shared. It's during this search that I've come upon some of the saddest news I've heard in respect to the world of organ music. When one says that he was "self taught" I find this so unbelievable for his playing is finer than many who have studied with the greatest. His clarity of all the voices in each piece, his sense of style for each composer, etc., etc. etc. is truly mind boggling. And on top of it all, I've yet to come upon a video where he plays with sheet music. He was a gift of God to the world of music. This must be how the world felt when Mendelsshon, Mozart and all the other greats who died so very young. My heart is tremendously saddened in knowing that the wonderful recordings that we now have are all we shall ever get to hear, but may I say from the bottom of my heart how thankful I am to be able to hear such wondrous sounds coming from the hands and heart of such a great pillar in this world of the pipe organ. May you rest in eternal peace, Maitre Timothy Coriddi.
This is a sad but beautiful slice of life. I firmly believe that some people are very gifted and a pleasure to listen to. I, at times, have had a sense of more than just playing correctly and beautifully. Occasionally there is something more. The something more presents itself in ,often, quiet and ethereal ways. It is hard to describe but when it happens it happens. You know it when it does. Something's in life cannot be totally explained and they don't have to. Enjoy these moments and don't try to explain what you really can't. Accept it for what it is. Bruce
Timothy will NEVER be Forgotten and his Legacy will live on, he was loved by everyone and to all his Organ Fans across the world RIP mate :-(
Rest in peace, Timothy. Your talent will never be forgotten.
His Channel is the best Memorial he can have. I am very sorry, That he passed away so early. He was very talented. May he have a Good Place in Heaven and i Hope for ihm he meets Johann Sebastian Bach!
Timothy was a true master of the organ. He was a great inspiration to me, especially when I found out that he was a self-taught organist. The words of "If thou but suffer God to guide thee", visible towards the end of this video, are very appropriate at this time.
Dear community, dear familymembers of Timothy,
i did not know the channel GrandeBombarde16 until now. Me, as i am an organist, can say that his passion for organ music is clearly visible (espacially for french literature) and it will go on forever. The tragic history of Timothy gives me shivers so it is hard to find words even in a foreign language for an incident like this. But i want you all to know that the community of youtube organists condolences. May he rest in peace.
Greetings from Germany
Thank you for your kind words and condolences. Family of Timothy P. Coriddi
My worst fear is something like this happening to me. I keep thinking that it won’t happen to me and that it can’t happen, but I’ve come to terms that it could. Enjoy every single good time you have and always try to make amends and always tell loved ones that you love them. Because tomarrow could be too late to do so.
Wow, so totally shocked that he has passed away and over five year ago. Always watched him play "Grand Choeur Dialogue" every time the video popped up on CZcams. So sad.
I wanted to share a piece of organ music (JSB) with a friend who knows nothing of the organ......I chose to share your playing if the Trio Sonata. This played immediately after so I stopped by to say Tim, you are still very much remembered. God bless.
I have only just learned of Tim's passing and am absolutely shocked and saddened at the terrible news. Tim was a good friend to me and helped me so much with my organ playing with our many personal contacts over the last two and half years. All of his hard work enabled him to showcase his wonderful talents at the organ. He was truly a good and nice person and will be missed by many. I will miss him for sure. My sympathies and thoughts go to his family and friends at this tragic time. RIP TIM!
What a gifted man he was. May the perpetual light shine upon him, may he Rest In Peace.
May he be free and play music for our lord jesus
Oh God... I'm so sorry, I'm speechless to say anymore than this: May he be with Bach's spirit, playing the organ at his side. Soli Deo Gloria. My warmest affection to you, Tim. Rest in peace and glory. ✨❤✨
Oh no! I am really sad to learn Tim is no longer with us. I had many communications from him and he was truly talented. What a terrible loss. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
God rest Tim's soul. He was an amazing organist. I loved hearing his music. He will be missed
What a beautiful memorial to an outstanding young man. Thank you
Memory eternal. Requiescat in pace.
Discovered this now, exactly one year after Timothy's death. This is also the day I first heard him playing. Such a shame that such a talent is lost while he was so young. Rest in Peace.
Dear Tim, your organplaying was a tribute to the honour of GOD; may GOD remember to you. Thank you, Tim, for sharing and showing your great talent. Thank you, GOD, for Tim‘s life.
Tragic, too soon
I discovered Tim through this channel on youtube. We became friends through facebook as well as here. He was a phenomenal organist and a good friend. I am shocked and saddened to find that he has passed on but, like the rest of us, I know he fills God's heavenly halls with beautiful music. May God's peace, comfort, love, and light be with his family.
Rest in Heavenly Peace, Tim.
I am so sorry! Mr. Coriddi was a very talented organist. May he rest peacefully.
I just learned of Tim's passing today, one year after. He was an amazing performer, driven to playing at a high level, and associated with the top tier organ builder, Marshall & Ogletree. Tim was one of the first organists I followed here on CZcams. We will all miss him. A fitting tribute will be his performance of "Now Thank We All Our God," from Cantata No. 79, by J.S. Bach (Arr. Virgil Fox) - recorded on his newly created Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ czcams.com/video/LOMfLEjlfb0/video.html R.I.P. Tim.
I am one of his fans from Germany
he inspired me so much.
I just 'discovered' Timothy less than an hour ago performing the
'Grand Piece Dialog' on the Marshall & Ogletree, and was looking
for more videos when I found this.
My heart weeps.
A beautiful tribute...the tears still come to my eyes.
Very sorry about the loss of Timothy, a very talented and gifted young man...he will live on through his music, best regards to his family and friends.
Can only imagine how brilliant his playing would have been had he lived.
I think we,as human beings, have options on how we live and interact with our fellows. This young man, although, no longer of this earth, will continue to give joy to those who love the organ and those who play it well.
I will miss him and his organ music, most sincerely.
Very, very NICE PLAYING.. you are my Favorit.. playing the Organ.
Timothy e eu somos amigos, me ajudou com os estudos musicais, não imaginava que ele estava em dificuldades. Que sua família seja consolada.
Heartbreaking to hear of such a loss. Rest in peace Tim. :'(
RIP
To Tim's family, I hope and pray that you may find comfort in these days to come. I've been a big fan of his playing, and I will miss hearing new music from him. I can only imagine that he's playing what ever organs up in Heaven as he did on earth. It goes to show that anything can happen no matter what age you are.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Family of Timothy P. Coriddi
So very sorry for your great loss. I am just hearing his recordings now. How devastating.

OH, MY GOD! I am devastated by this news! My heartfelt sorrows and sympathies to the family and friends of this brilliantly talented young man.
