26-30 is pure goodness and the second chord of 32 is outraaaageous. lovely solo at 58 and onwards. nice job letting the instrument breath as well. hope JC sees this.
Challenge accepted! Though it's a bit too long for our usual preludes so I'd have to make it a postlude, and unfortunately I think our AV guys cut the stream off after a couple minutes during the postlude. I might still come back here and toss a link to it if I do it sometime in the future.
The organ is the only instrument that can match the full beauty and absolute *POWER* of this song. Amazing arrangement! The opening up of the organ from 52-60 gave me goosebumps! (also mmm that first chord in 66)
One of the best compliments I’ve seen about the Aeolians-the choir in the piece-is for some of the chords the voices sound like an organ. For choral and organ fans this is a wonderful things. The organ sound is stirring!
This arrangement is really good and surprisingly organistic! One thing that will help your playing sound more clear and make it so we can hear the rhythm and individual voices better is making a clear break in between repeated notes.
I don't know how you were able to take something that was already beautiful, and make it even more beautiful. And that 32 at the end is just gut busting. Brava to you!!
An manchen Stellen braucht man 12 Finger, wie gut, dass eine Orgel eine Pedale hat. Und zwischendurch klingt es so, als seien die Noten abgestürzt, die ganze Orgel arbeitet wie verrückt, um hinterher zu kommen, das Ganze ist echt der Hammer!
This is so cool!! Tbh tho I don’t think a lot of those cluster chords translate to the organ that well, I think singer’s intonation is very important for this piece. Maybe a different combination of stops would change my opinion. However if I heard this in church I’d be elated!
@@thepotatomusic Thanks for your frankness! I'm a musician but not an organist, and you'll probably agree that the sheer weight of supporting chords from bar 35 onwards overwhelms the main line in the upper voices, which is a shame to lose, as they are the most thrilling part of the original! I don't know what registration would redress this imbalance, but it gives organists a challenge, no doubt! Bravo!
It's a tool for beginner composers, not a law. Yes, in many cases parallel fifths shouldn't be used, but I would trust Jacob Collier on this... In no way is it a law, unless you're in music school.

Not sure how to get it to Collier, and I live for that chord in 32 haha.
If I were an organist, I would try to sneak this in at my local church.
Haha I'm thinking about it...

No you

Thank you! I do have a background of organ playing so I could manage it ok.
woo! massive sound, amazing
Thanks man

Means a lot, thanks!

wow, this is getting around
Indeed it is!
Gorgeous piece. Would love a copy of the sheet music please.
My email is on my channel.
absolute goosebumps, this is incredible!!!! you make me want to follow in my grandmother's footsteps and learn organ!!!
Go for it! Never too many organists...
that sounds great
Would love a copy of this for my organist at church
If you email me, I’m happy to send it to you! My email is on my channel.
Would I be able to get your email to ask for the sheet music for this?
Best,
It's on the channel.
Nice!
Sounds like Howells!
Tell that to Collier haha
@@thepotatomusic well, thats for sure a compliment for him!

To be frank, my playing doesn't do the arrangement, or the piece, justice. And about the stops - that was the best I could do haha.

Is it Louis Raffy in the thumbnail?
That’s Jehan Alain.
@@mcb5795 Litanies..... 🙂 i love!
Is it only the organ that you can pass the law of parallel fifths in harmony? Or is it allowed between the bass and tenor?
It's a tool for beginner composers, not a law. Yes, in many cases parallel fifths shouldn't be used, but I would trust Jacob Collier on this... In no way is it a law, unless you're in music school.
@@thepotatomusic I study harmony in a conservatory. Thanks!
@@schrysafis Nice, good luck! So do I.
@@thepotatomusic Thank you! I like organ too even though I solely play piano
