The Great Organ Move of 2024
The organ needed to be moved into the new house. This is the journey.
Many thanks to all those who volunteered to help get the organ moved: Ned, Gerard, Jack, Rick, Eli, Josh, Lars and my mother- the supervisor.

There were all sorts of goings on, workshops, concerts etc. On Monday September 30th my brother, Ned Phoenix hosted an open house and showed his collection of reed organs. He is also available by appointment Tuesday October 1 thru Sunday October 6 (2024) for those who ...

Rheinberger Trio in A minor
Просмотров 494 месяца назад
I played this piece as part of my prelude last Sunday. I really enjoyed playing it and thought it warranted recording. From Wikipedia: Josef Gabriel Rheinberger (17 March 1839 - 25 November 1901) was an organist and composer from Liechtenstein, residing in Bavaria for most of his life. As court conductor in Munich, he was responsible for the music in the royal chapel. He is known for sacred mus...

These are my selections for church today. I recorded them when I came home on my home organ with the composite sample set of St. Ouen. For the Prelude I selected 3 pieces/excepts from Cesar Franck. I was looking for something calm and meditative. The Postlude I chose is March by B. Yarnold. It's manuals only and is a wonderful little fanfare. 0:00 Intro 0:13 Meditation in E Major (excerpt) 2:59...

Postlude Improv 11/05/2023

A quiet postlude improvisation. The First Congregational Church of Walpole, NH. The congregation was taking a group photo, so I played quietly. At one point I think you hear someone say "smile", LOL. The audio is from the GoPro positioned directly in front of the pipes. I'm told the organ is going to be serviced and tuned tomorrow, YAY.
Trio in F minor by Cesar Franck
Просмотров 62Год назад
A short piece by Cesar Franck Turn up the volume, kick back and close your eyes. Imagine sitting in a gothic cathedral in the middle of the night, just you and someone playing this piece on the organ. Let the sound of the harmonic flute wash over you and transport you to another dimension. Hear the vastness of the cathedral and feel the movement of the music as it wafts through the space. Enjoy !

    Честно говоря, неплохой гимн, ха. 🇺🇸"О, скажи, видишь ли ты, как рано забрезжил рассвет, Что так гордо мы приветствовали в сумерках последних, Чьи широкие полосы и яркие звезды, сквозь опасный бой, Или валы, с которых мы смотрели, так галантно струились? И красные блики ракет, и бомбы, разрываясь в воздухе, доказывали ночью, что наш флаг все еще там. О, скажите, развевается ли еще это звездно-полосатое знамя, или земля свободных и родина храбрых?" 🇺🇸

These instruments were a staple for worship and home entertainment in their heyday, and the average person would have been well acquainted with them. They were an integral part of our nation's history, and they are worthy of our attention today. In fact (I was surprised to learn), many popular artists and bands of the last 60 years have utilized reed organs in their recordings! Thanks again for sharing! 🙂🎹

He paid my dad and several of his mates 6 pence an hour to pump the thing. He died due to the gas from WW1 not long after.
