The Washington National Cathedral, officially named the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, is a cathedral of the Episcopal Church located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. Of neogothic design, it is the sixth largest cathedral in the world, the second largest in the United States, and the fourth tallest structure in Washington, D.C. The cathedral is the seat of both the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church and its bishop of the Diocese of Washington.
The Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, under the leadership of the nine Bishops of Washington, erected the cathedral under a charter passed by the United States Congress on January 6, 1893. Construction began on September 29, 1907, when the foundation stone was laid in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt and a crowd of more than 20,000, and ended 83 years later when the last finial was placed in the presence of President George H. W. Bush in 1990. The foundation operates and funds the cathedral, which does not receive government funding.
The cathedral is located at Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues in the northwest quadrant of Washington. It is an associate member of the Washington Theological Consortium. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2007, it was ranked third on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.

Not sure how anyone could "dislike" this... I'm sure it would be even better in person, but this is a great recording!
Every so often, I yearn for this triumphant sound that truly awakens my soul. Today is December 20, 2020, and I'm now preparing to receive the Sunday Worship Service, from the W.N.C. which begins at 11am. Our world has been ravaged by the COVID19 pandemic. As Advent ends, our hope for the long awaited return of our Savior Jesus Christ, is the only consolation that keeps us grounded. Thank you W.N.C. for being a great part of that consolation., and for continuously pointing the world, to the Awesomeness Of God.
Amen! A great piece of music wonderfully performed.
I have played this many times for wedding processionals and church services. This great organ I have also played!
That must have been quite an experience playing the organ at the National Cathedral. It sure is a great instrument. Powerful sound. The cathedral obviously has great acoustics.
God's instrument --- As a minister once told me "If you can't get them with an organ, you just can't get them!" Soul inspiring! Powerful and yet gentle -- often used as a wedding march, instead of Here Comes the Bride.
Played with experienced, talented hands & feet --- a joy to hear!
When the organ opens up with full power, it vibrates our insides physically and spiritually. Thank you for a glorious performance!
(As an organist myself, I chose Rigaudon for our wedding so that the guests would hear an excellent piece of organ music and wouldn't have to endure "Here Comes the Bride" another time. My father, who walked me down the aisle, bless him, asked me how he'd know when to begin walking. I told him "The music will tell you." Those loud, strong first 3 chords definitely announced that the procession should begin! Rigaudon began our 40 year union.
I recommend, to all wedding parties, that Rigaudon be included to enhance your special day!
I also recommend that, when visiting Washington D.C., everyone make a special effort to enter the Washington National Cathedral, see it's splendor, and feel its spirituality! ~~ Carol Williams Mathews
you cannot play "here comes the bride" in most Episcopal Churches. As a kid I heard it a lot at weddings but I haven't heard it used in almost 40 years
-Very much agree!
My favorite rendition of this was by E. Power Biggs playing on the organs in the Great Munster of Frieberg where the 7 organs in that
CAthedral can all be played from a single console. What power and sound .
Our wedding processional. One of the pieces I actually played. I loved being able to hit the crescendo and full all the trumpet stops for the final statement of the theme!!
My brother (deceased) played this on the Old South Church, Boston, MA organ for my wedding recessional in 1978. This is the closest I've come to that OUTSTANDING memory...TY! BTW - I felt like a Queen!!!
My recessional also, in 1977. Should be used by more brides!
Just Another Little Glimpse Of Heaven. Blessings
This lesser known piece is one of the most powerful and moving around and needs to be much better known. Fantastic - music, organ and playing!
Very much agree!
I about jumped out my seat, that’s good! Hear and feel the organ ROAR
One DOES so love to hear a roaring organ! Excellent playing...
Loved the Tuba Mirabilis, the organ really has power, good recording, thank you for sharing. The acoustic helps the pedal basses, the 32' reed and flues sound magnificent underpinning the manuals.
The sound of the great organ has to be divinely inspired I firmly believe
Beautiful !! This was played in worship this morning at Strathroy United Church, Strathroy Ontario Canada
sounds so much better on that organ with the acoustics of the National Cathedral
This is truly a great processional and what better instrument to play it on!
This is an exceptional performance! Thank you!

I'm sure it's very important to know the name of the architect who designed the cathedral but WHO IS PLAYING THE ORGAN? Several other people have asked and we're still none the wiser.
If the recording was new when it was posted in May, 2010 (see posting date above), then the organist might have been Scott Dettra, Organist of the Cathedral from 2007 through 2012. What a wonderful piece of music! I heard it for the first time yesterday, and have since been looking for recordings on RUclips, just so that I can hear it again. This is my favourite performance so far!
Huge Cathedral, massive pipe organ, beautiful hymn played with skilled hands = shivers down your spine!
@crofolklor It is a very nice piece. I especially enjoyed the use of the Tuba Mirabilis, one of Skinner's stops that are still on the organ. The photograhy is an excellent accompaniment to the music as well.
Exellent video !!!!

2014 - 2015 !!!!

Too much volume for the upload. There's distortion.
3:38 awesome view
beautiful. I felt it was a bit zippy, but enjoyable.
Belle imitation de cathédrale Européenne, mais ça ne le fais pas...
Très belle musique!
they still have their Aeolian Skinner don't they?
It’s actually a Skinner but yes.
Who is the organist playing this selection?
Composed by Andre Campra
Yes ! "Rigaudon" of André Campra, French organist and composer of the 17. Century. He served as music director at the cathedrals of Arles and Toulouse and then, from 1694 to 1700, had a similar function at the cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris.
Who is the organist and when was this recorded? Thanks.
(This is a copy of my reply to Dave Barclay above.)

what is the name of this piece?
"Rigaudon" by Andre Campra. Had it played as the processional at my wedding :)

What hymn is this?
This is no hymn, Brandon, but the "Rigaudon" of André Campra, French organist and composer of the 17. Century. He served as music director at the cathedrals of Arles and Toulouse and then, from 1694 to 1700, had a similar function at the cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris.
It's not a hymn. It's "Rigaudon" by Campra.
Too slow !
Sadly this organ is too small for this wonderful church
Brings tears to my eyes
