Sorry, I should have provided more details here. I've now added a little more information. Philip Reichardt was playing. We didn't record the piece in its entirety: he just tried part of it on the organ, as he mentioned he was currently working on it.

I wish I knew!!!

@@Parker6432 I'm not certain

Organ

Thanks mate, I wasn't totally familiar with this Dutch hymn tune either (thought I'd pick some Dutch hymn tunes for the Pels organ), so played it a tad slow. I think it's well known in the US?

@@nightowldickson Agreed!

I was reading from a Mayhew publication dedicated to pieces of his, called "Music for Occasions". Most of them are based on hymn tunes, but the subset at the end doesn't specifically mention the common tune SAGINA on which he wrote a trio, a tuba tune, a concertino (or similar) and a playful flute thing, as well as the aria and this one that I tried on the Pels. Philip Reichardt played another Mayhew-sourced piece on the same day which took my fancy. Unfortunately, Mayhew have quite brief print runs, and I wasn't able to locate that one on my search there. But they're also good at returning good material in a different collection, so it's worth a browse!

@@DavidPowellAU thanks, I'll look on the internet and see if I can find it

@NevilleBlom-m3d I have both "Aria" and "Prelude and Fugue" in a Mayhew compilation entitled "An Organ Miscellany." Published in 2000, I'm not sure if it is still available. My copy is a secondhand one that I purchased online a few years ago.

A valid question: but I think the answer comes down to individual expectations of listeners and the intention of the person demonstrating. I did a couple of early tonal demonstrations where my plan was to identify the stops and give listeners an idea of their individual sounds/colours and how effective they were. Pastor's approach has been different, in general involving an improvisation beginning with individual stops and ultimately weaving them together and building up to full organ. I suppose each prefers his own approach, but there is no right or wrong. Each is useful.

@@geriatricyclist1950 Yes, this worked very well indeed!

🤣

Thank you!

Inspirational... can't go past community hymn singing. Thank you.

@@sydneyorgans3250 it's my pleasure dear friend

@@timrozitis961 They have a small choir there. The singing was wonderful!

Definitely very impressed - you can really hear the singing.

@timrozitis961 I was so fortunate to achieve this result in view of the fact that I was essentially recording blind: no rehearsal, so no chance to work out placement or check levels. I think what saved me is that having done an average of more than one organ a week since the beginning of last year I now have an instinct as to what is likely to work - in the same way that the organists who have played regularly for us have developed experience as to how to go about registration and what oddities they might find on organs. It was really great to capture the singing at St Faith's: so encouraging.
