Edward Taylor Organist

Добавлен 30 ноя 2011
Welcome to Edward Taylor Organist You Tube channel!
I am currently based in Carlisle UK as Organist at the Cathedral whilst enjoying a career as a concert organist and conductor.
The primary aim of my channel is to promote some of the lesser known repertoire, mainly from 20th century Britain and France, for example Alcock, Harwood, Jongen and Rowley, and encourage organists to explore these pieces for themselves. For those church organists in particular, there are many works on my channel suitable for various seasons of the churches year from composers such as Whitlock, Willan, Tambling and many more. Of course many of the favourites of the repertoire are here too!
Most of the videos here are recorded on the wonderful 4 manual Willis organ at Carlisle Cathedral, rebuilt and enlarged by Harrison and Harrison.
Do check it out and please do join those who have kindly already subscribed to the channel, to keep in touch and up to date with videos as soon as they are posted!

Edward Taylor plays 'Pro Defunctis' from 7 Improvisations by C. Saint-Saëns
This is the sixth Improvisation from the set of seven by Camille Saint-Saëns' Op. 150. ‘Pro defunctis’ quotes the gregorian chant theme from the Offertory of the Requiem, Domine Jesu Christe. It is one of three of the Improvisations that uses gregorian chant, something that Saint-Saëns had not done in his compositions since his Opus 4 Mass and Opus 8 duos.

Edward Taylor plays Rowley: Hymn prelude on 'St Hugh'
Просмотров 3676 месяцев назад
This is the first of four hymn preludes on Lent hymn tunes by the British composer Alec Rowley. The melody of 'St Hugh' is usually sung to the words: Lord, teach us how to pray aright. The melody is presented very slowly in the pedals below some lush harmonies in the hands. Alec Rowley designed all of his music to present different challenges to his students. This piece has sudden changes of ke...

Просмотров 45410 месяцев назад
Healey Willan sets the tune Slane in a peaceful and melodic chorale prelude which he subtitles 'At the end of the day'. This prelude is seen as suitable for the service of All Souls Day. The accompaniment is on the swell strings throughout. Stanzas 1 and 3 of the tune are at tenor pitch played on the strings of the solo organ with stanzas 2 and 4 being played on the choir flute.

Edward Taylor plays: Van Oortmerssen - 'For all the Saints'
Просмотров 39210 месяцев назад
This short Chorale Prelude is the last of the Five chorale preludes published by Tactus in 1995. It is based on the hymn tune Sine Nomine by Ralph Vaughan Williams which is suitable for All Saints Day (November 1st) or All Saints Sunday. This hymn tune is upbeat and majestic, but Van Oortmerssen chooses to set it in a more subdued style. The tune is heard, in an augmented form, in the right han...

Alan Spedding wrote it for Jackson's 90th birthday concert at York Minster which is now published in the volume 'Fanfare for Francis' which contains all the new works written for that concert.

Edward Taylor plays Festival March on St George by P. E. Fletcher
Просмотров 60711 месяцев назад
Percy Fletcher spent most of his musical career working in London West End theatres such as Drury Lane and his output for church or recital by way of organ music is quite small. His most well-known work for the organ is the Festival Toccata, found elsewhere on my channel, but this piece is rather fun too. St George’s Windsor is the tune sung to the harvest hymn words ‘Come, ye thankful people, ...
Edward Taylor plays Boëllmann: Suite Gothique - Toccata
Просмотров 81111 месяцев назад
The Suite Gothique is the most well-known of Boëllmann’s works. It is made up of four movements, the last of which is 'Toccata'. Unlike most French toccatas, which start on the full organ in dramatic and joyful style, this one starts in a dark mood on the closed full swell. The first subject is stated in the pedals in the tonic key before the second subject appears this time in the manuals on a...

Edward Taylor plays Grote :Postlude on Aberystwyth
I love this piece too and am learning at present - hoping to play it in November, so I have got some time. I think the seemless changes between the sections is going to be quite hard to achieve.
I have always preferred this to the other one. I wonder who notices that he brings in the same tune in the build up that Walford Davies uses in Jesu dulcis memoria, that concludes the collection.
I learnt this piece in the 1980s and had completely forgotten about it! Thank you for reminding me - and I have just added it to my next recital programme! Yours is a(nother!) tremendous performance!
❤ it!
Beautiful! We used this piece as our wedding recessional. :)
Wonderful. My teacher has given me this piece to learn. You have played it so beautifully. 😀
Beautiful lilting melody. Typical clever Whitlock key changes.
Bravo!
Beautiful ... thank you so much for sharing this beautiful piece of music
👌👌👌
Beautiful lyrical piece
👍👍👍Grandioses Stück und ausgezeichnete Interpretation👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏‼️‼️‼️☀️…
Glorious! That Willis Tuba! Wow!
@scottrowley79 many thanks indeed. The original Willis didn't have a Tuba. It's actually H and H 1907. We rather like it!
Very stately and exciting. Thanks!
Remarquable interprétation de ce Scherzo avec toute la virtuosité et la musicalité néccessaires .Edouard Commette que j'ai bien connu et entendu interpréter cette oeuvre que j'ai moi aussi jouée , aurait été très content et heureux de vous entendre à ce bel orgue .En son nom , je puis vous dire "Bravo et Merci "
Beautiful. I played this for a Grade 8 (UK) in 1964, and the examiner was one of Edwards Carlisle predecessors, Fred Wadely. I still play it 60 years later .
Bravo!
Splendid work!
Many thanks!
It was good to hear you playing this live, after Evensong this evening. An unexpected bonus! Loved the psalm accompaniment, too!
I've just added this piece to my forthcoming recital programme and have listened to this recording many times. There are several interpretations on RUclips, but this is the one I keep coming back to. It really is excellent and I never tire of hearing it.
Thanks so much for your comment. Much appreciated. So glad you enjoy the performance and that it has influenced yours.
Great chorale brilliantly played, thank you Ed
Beautiful Welsh tune, registration and harmonies give a wash of sound with snatches of the tune coming through.
Well played and registered on a magnificent organ, but too slow here for me. The score shows Minuetto ♩=126 and a jaunty minuet tempo is just right for it, IMHO.
I really liked this performance and that organ sounds wonderful :-)
👏👏 Thanks ET. Nice job
👏👏
👏👏 Perfect - thank you
👏👏
Super - thanks ET 👏👏
Beautiful. Thankyou.
👍👍👍Sehr lebendig und mit grosser Bravour interpretiert👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘‼️‼️‼️….
A lovely performance that lets the music breathe. The subtleties can be heard.
Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Great to hear the TT played at a reasonable speed.
ReFined dim. fermatas, 🥇
Absolutely spot-on tempo (not the silly speed adopted by some which makes it sound rushed, and doesn't allow detail to be heard). An exciting and polished performance.
The performance was superb, but why no 32 at the end?
Many thanks indeed. We don't have a 32' reed unfortunately!
Really very nice - sensitive performance as ever by ET. The Healey Willan hymn preludes really are a treasure, and technically within reach of most players
What fine playing! I could only wish the recording were in a louder volume; but your skill is evident.
Many thanks. Unfortunately my first few recordings were set at a lower volume, but have rectified that since. Hopefully you find the more recent recordings at a better volume
Lovely.....beautifully done!
Beautiful registration and dynamics brings out the best of this piece, thank you
Inspired performance! These Healey Willan preludes are excellent, all 30 of them.
Thank you Edward for your superb and enjoyable rendition of this wonderful piece. I only recently discovered and subscribed to your RUclips channel and I’m enjoying it very much.
Many thanks for subscribing. I hope you are enjoying watching my videos.
What this guy \/ said. And always to tears. And kicked in the 32' at the end.
Great playing and piece! Is this score available as a PDF from anywhere? Thanks.
Thanks. No, I don't think so. It is available in an album of complete works by Ives
💜
Very interesting. Thank you ! I should study this. I discovered a new name today, because of your work. Maybe you could record also his Elegy or Intermezzo A-flat ?
He wrote quite a lot actually. Yes, I like the Elegy and will record that at some point
What stop (s) are you soloing the melody on?
Well played Sir. Walton’s music is fantastic! That beautiful melody of the march..
Dear Edward: I have finally found someone to give this piece of music its justice. I find too many organists play this piece way to fast. Your timing and splendid use of color is fabulous. Please keep up the wonderful playing. Greetings Canada!
Hello Paul. Many thanks indeed for your comment. Much appreciated and so glad you enjoyed the performance. It is one of my favourite 'shorter' Whitlock pieces and in fact Whitlock is up there with my all time favourite composers. Greetings from England!
Great exhilarating performance. Good pace with plenty of fireworks. Thanks Ed
Many thanks Nick!
