The First Nowell by Alec Wyton and Frederick Frahm

The First Nowell or Noel is a traditional English Christmas carol. It was first published in the early 1800's. Today, "The First Nowell" is usually performed in a four-part hymn arrangement by the English composer John Stainer, first published in 1871. Nowell is an Early Modern English synonym of "Christmas" from French Noël "the Christmas season".
This piece is played here by Geoff Olson, organist of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in St. Paul, MN. The organ is a 1916 Wicks pipe organ with later pipes added by the Hunt Organ Company for a total of 30 ranks. The pipes are supplemented with a Hauptwerk virtual organ system, using the 65-stop 1877 Father Willis Organ at Salisbury Cathedral, England. This piece uses a zimbelstern built by Tim Patterson of Associated Organ Builders. To listen to more of my organ videos, go to / geoffolson1039 .
Hope you enjoy this piece and thanks for listening
