Sydney Organs
Австралия
Добавлен 14 авг 2022
Our mission is to showcase Sydney's organs and those who play them.
Sydney and its suburbs have a rich heritage of pipe organs. Most are relatively small instruments, built for small churches. Many are well-built with solid tonal qualities but are rarely heard by the general public.
This channel is intended as a vehicle for making such instruments - and the people who play them - better-known. We are seeking to record as many organs as we can. Currently our principal focus is on the Greater Sydney area, but we also wish to record organs in other parts of New South Wales. Our aim is to present competent performances in good quality video and audio.
We hope that this channel will both encourage interest in the organ and play a part in bringing together people interested in the instrument.

Bwv 540 ..whose playing it ?
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.
Thanks. Interesting arrangement. It says in the notes "harmonised in the nineteenth century by William Sterndale Bennett'. Is the present version an improvisation on that?
Sublime playing on a fine instrument. Thank you very much for this excellent demo, Pastór!
Nice music by Bach ! What do we hear at the beginning ? It sounds like a drum !
I wish I knew!!!
sorry :(
Fantastic - I love it played at this sort of a pace!
So good
Lovely
Lovely 😊
Who services/tunes this organ ?
@@Parker6432 I'm not certain
Lovely piano playing
Organ
Brilliant playing!
Thanks for this excellent demo which reveals that the instrument is impressive with a wealth of clear & colourful tones.
Very pleasant & good to hear more music from a composer with whom I was still very unfamiliar.
Sounds very good on this organ. Thanks.
Beautiful, thank you.
Splendid sound. Well played, Dickson! 😁
A new tune for me..I must look for it. Again I love your hymn playing Dickson, very secure and imaginative and appealing registrations. Eminently listenable.
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?
This is superb... very different save very well played
Tambling's arrangements are absolutely genius!
@@nightowldickson Agreed!
Hi there, just wondering where I could purchase a copy of the music that David played
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.
Please...? What is the point of a 'Tonal Demonstration" if the stops are not described by the organist as to what ranks they are?
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.
Brilliant. Superb performance of a stunning piece of music.
@@geriatricyclist1950 Yes, this worked very well indeed!
Very good indeed, thank you. Music I like very much.
Well played, Isabel! Thanks all.
Sean Weatherley is clearly a player of keen musical intelligence. Grateful to hear him play. Thank you.
I really like this. It sounds so nice.
@@paulkacanowski Thanks!
Had never heard this before (the hymn - I'm familiar with Canon in D)....it sounds wonderful!!
@@timrozitis961 Neither had I: but I like it!
ghastly
I heard this hymn for the very first time on a pipe organ in a church in Knoxville Tennessee. Computer speakers do not do it justice. The lower range/base of the song shook the very foundations and Stainglass of the church. I was just a ninth grader in 1973 and I have never forgot it. One of the most memorable experiences of my life. Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories.
@@jonwilliams2314 Thank you!
Excellently played indeed!!!!!
Awesome interlude - and very well played.
@@timrozitis961 The Coleman Interludes are very good indeed!
Loved this!
Brilliant stuff!
Well done !
Beautiful hymn !
@@francois7 Absolutely wonderful!
Sounds fantastic! well played Isabel!!
A gloriously lively, articulate performance! Thank you, Isabel!
Very well done
@@graemeedmonds7480 Thanks!
What lovely, sparkling playing!
This showed up on my recommended page just as I was getting ready for bed. What a blessed way to end the day that he has given. Thank you.
@@alanmeben4240 Yes, definitely! Thanks.
Fav hymn 😍
@@calvinrichardjoness Agreed!
A small instrument with well-balanced sound, providing abundant possibilities for a creative musician. Very beautiful, thank you.
Very nice, thank you Pastór.
I really like that!
Great music ! I see that someone is paying attention to Pastor's music not far away from him !
Sounds fantastic again (But John's disappeared :P )
@@timrozitis961 I think I ended up near the recorder!
🤣
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Inspirational... can't go past community hymn singing. Thank you.
@@sydneyorgans3250 it's my pleasure dear friend
Beautiful rendition. Bravo!
Wonderful to have a small congregation sing like that - must be the leadership of Pastor at the organ!
@@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.
I see great stained glass windows !
