As an organist, this brings back many memories...this was my Mum's fav hymn!!!! She always enjoyed listening to me play this.....I miss my mother so much!!!! She was my biggest fan! Thank you for playing this...
Martin Ellis is a good friend of mine, and I know of no other musician who works harder. He is an excellent classical organist, but this was a theater organ gig for him. If you're ever in Indianapolis, you should attend North United Methodist Church, and hear him play their big Kimball/Reynolds organ. Every Sunday is a transcendent experience! To me, church music should always lift us up, and should NEVER be ordinary.
You are SO right!!! My church abandoned hymn-singing for “Praise songs” accompanied by the Praise Team. If I wanted a Rock concert, I’d go to a Rock concert!! I want the old hymns back!! This new stuff is so LAME, compared to traditional music!
As Michael Barone once nicknamed the theatre organ "the showbiz couzin" of the king of instruments, it is nice to see that the Mighty Wurlitzer goes to church now and again:). This organ is amazing, and I have enjoyed Dr. William's performances on it, and this rendition of Nicea is amazing indeed. I only have room for twelve ranks at present--but Wurlitzers can really sound big no matter how big can't they! Thanks to this very fine organist!!
you are absolutely correct, Thaddeus...I had the unique privilege of growing up with a magnificent pipe organ in my home church for a period of 16 years...the accoustics in Evangelistic Tabernacle in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada were magnificent, and my birth mother Loewina was one of the marvellous artists who brought worship to a whole new level, as well as other artists who played that organ. To the power and majesty that belongs to the name of God Most High, we honoured HIM!
The third verse accompaniment is absolutely beautifully bonkers and I love it so much. Makes the final resolution a triumphant command of order and glory!
Wow!!! Absolutely incredible!!! I am a huge fan of pipe organs and traditional hymns. (I have no use for contemporary worship services.) Thank you for sharing this!!
Oh my LORD GOD ALMIGHTY....This is amazing rendition of one of my favorites....amazing. See you in heaven...you took me part way there with your playing...wow, tears in my eyes!
Very much agree with Mr. Reynolds! Placement of mics might be an issue, however, the ORGAN draws the lyrics out of you provided you know the tune! How can you not be moved and want to repeat this great Hymn! Gees! This is similar to what the Old Tyme Revivals were striving for! Move your Spirit! Mr. Ellis jumps to the front of the line! Jeepers, Mr. Wilson! (remember that!?)
This video I fell in love with years ago and searched high and low for the music of this specific arrangement. I gave up especially since my church had a barely functioning analog Rodgers organ. We just installed a digital 3 manual Rodgers organ that is a beast and have spent 4 man hours listening to this and repeating it over and over 10 second chunks at a time. I have finally transcribed to the best of knowledge this arrangement specifically the last verse. I will by no means claim it mine (I can't anyways) but this version is such a treasure. Bleeding chromatic harmonies with modern chord substitutions so frequent that will make even a music major such as myself have to shake my head in disbelief of the God given creativity the is on display during this video. I can only emulate, not duplicate this
@@matthewlouis358 it's in my head. I did it by ear, it's in same key obviously haha, I'll see if I can pen it down, but I also dont want to intrude on the original by putting my transcription out there without his permission. If you have a few hours and patience, you can work it out decently fast. I just dont want to overstep my boundaries since it's not my brainchild or idea but rather the gentleman who preformed it.
The MIGHTY Wurlitzer!!! My favorite pipe organ played by my favorite organist. Just look at all those STOPS! I'll bet he knows where each and every one is and DOES!
My 4 year-old love this hymn, and this video (so about 274 views are from us). She wants me to play "Holy Holy Holy Holy" with the man on the gold organ. This is a great hymn, and awesome arrangement. The traditional service at my church has more people than the contemporary! Great job keeping traditional alive!
More people singing than contemporary, wow. But I believe you. These old school hymns have such power to them that post-1970 contemporary hymns can’t achieve.
Mr. Reynolds is correct. How could one be in this room and not thrill to Mr. Ellis' arrangement? Hymn playing (as opposed to song playing) stirs the soul, to sing in the praise of our Lord and Christ. This is far better than what a praise band can do - no offense to those talented people. An organ has the potential not only to share sounds, but draw out from the listener - your inner being. One feels the music and hears it. Oddly enough, the first time I felt this was @ Radio City-1968 NYC
I enjoyed listening to the Mighty Wurlitzer and have listened to a few in pizza parlors as well! As a pipe organ aficionado I have even convinced several Lutheran churches in San Luis Obispo County to purchase small box type pipe organs rather than a Rodgers or Allen Organ which will never ever be able to truly create the sound of a pipe instrument! However, to those of you who say that electronics can not recreate the tonal quality and sound of a pipe instrument as I had and I do love the sounds of a Skinner/Casavant/ Schantz / Schlicker/ Rosales. Please take a listen to the capability of the Virtual Hauptwerk organs now available! Perhaps they do not bring the beauty of the pipework to the sanctuary but they are much closer than we ever previously thought possible.
Wow..... such an amazing performance. I do really listening this recently. Parise the lord and wishing the performer a very good success through your career as an organist. I'm also a music teacher and a choir member of our church (Sri Lanka) tried to be like you sir. Thank you for sharing this video. May God bless you.
BRAVO well done and using this magnificent organ is best yet I wish there was a top 25 of the worlds greatest organs, the Mighty W would be top of the list
Thanks for the comment, and thanks for listening. This was a concert situation, not a church service. And, this is a theater organ, not a church organ. The point I would disagree with you on is the role of the organ in hymn-playing. The organ's job is to LEAD congregational singing, and to ACCOMPANY choirs and soloists. For people in the pews to sing confidently, they need to hear the organ over their own voices. Otherwise, their singing drops to below the level of the organ.
Yes, this is even true today in certain deniminations. The organist IS the leader of the congregational hymns. In my church, I play a keyboard with a pipe organ sound but I play with an ameture pianist so we follow each other. We split the introductions to the song. I usually take the more Majestic songs and get the people reaved up to sing them. "Holy, Holy, Holy" is one of the classics and one of my favorite, along with songs such as "Immortal Invisible!" The only church I have seen this concept of the organist LEADING the congregation was in a Free Presbyterian Church. The organ faced the platform so the organist had his back to the congregation as he LEAD the song, "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty"! He too did a couple key changes and an interlude. It was beautifully done!
Thaddeus Reynolds I have been enjoying this video off and on for many months. I want to thank you for posting it. It does a few important things, I think. First, it celebrates "The Mighty Wurlitzer". I mean, come on, we gotta do that because these theater organs were so great! Their like will NEVER been seen or heard from again, so we need to preserve the sound. Second, this video shows that a theater organ (which is always so much FUN) has a legitimate classical side and can sound as good, if not better than, some of the more celebrated "church" organs out there, especially some of the "bubble and squeak" monstrosities built in the late 1970's and 80s. Third, that Trumpet En Chamade is a total HONK! Wow, such a sound. I'd love to have seen how it was installed in the building. Fourth, Martin Ellis did such a great job playing this hymn and his arrangement was exciting and vibrant and wonderful. Bravo Martin. So, thanks for an enduring and important pipe organ video, enjoyable and inspiring too!
I had this conversation awhile back, to the consternation of some or our readers. To clarify, the Sanfillipo organ is a theater (unit) organ, whereas the Atlantic City organ is (was) not. There are many organs larger than 80 ranks, but this is the biggest theater instrument. BTW, most or all of the Atlantic City organ is no longer playing, making the Wanamaker organ officially the "biggest." Glad you enjoyed the music!
My dear old grandma's thrilling (spine chilling) descant would have been quite a bit a sea on that last verse. She would have bravely battled on undeterred though in keeping with the wonderfully hardy Yorkshire woman that she was! We miss her so much (and her 'amazing' descant)!
WOW! That hymn was played as I walked down the aisle on my wedding day and on our 25th as I repeated the action. I have never heard it played so magnificently! Is this recorded so we can play it on our 50th? I love the key changes and the walking bass!!! It is as if you are soaring to heaven! It is good to see the mighty W used for the glory of God rather than just for the theater. Where in Chicago is it? We plan to go through at Christmas.
Both organs were completely unaffected by the storm, and the auditorium remained structurally sound. There was a bit of water in the blower rooms, but the machinery had been moved prior to the storm's impact in anticipation of any flooding that may have been sustained. And you are absolutely correct about the organ being preserved and heard. The grant they received was actually through a trust called "Save America's Treasures". The organ was declared historically significant and worth saving.
Things really got good when out of theater mode! What arrangement is this? Accidentals and key changes galore!! Very emotional - esp. with singing with this great tune.
ok first of all who ever said the pipe organ sucks is so far off its not even funny!!! the pipe organ in classical or theater style is one of the most intersting and complex pieces of mechanical wonder that to this day they still cannot produce the exact duplicate without pipes being involved.....so if u dont like pipe organs dont listen !
The RCMH Wurlitzer is the largest ORIGINAL Wurlitzer. This one is a put-together (hybrid) instrument with pipes and mechanisms from many sources, and different builders, though most of the pipework is Wurlitzer.
Good question! Theater organ consoles were often on lifts. When the organist was playing a solo, the organ would be at the level of the stage, and then dramatically descend into the orchestra pit so the organist could accompany the film. Often the big-name organist would slip off the bench and let a hard-working assistant to the film. Anyway, it's part of the drama!
This is not the world's largest theater pipe organ. That one is in Atlantic City, and the console is contained in its own room, surrounded by contols, pedals, stops, and manuals.
@goodchappy - I wouldn't exactly call it straight, what with the bells and so on... but I'd love to hear Franck, Tournemire, Vierne etc on a Wurlitzer!
Thanks for listening! E. Power Biggs call the theater organ the "King of instruments, turned clown." A bit harsh, perhaps. This organ has many traditional stops besides the theater, and Martin Ellis's classical training shows in his theater work. Listen to some other postings on my channel to hear him playing classical concerts (and everything in between!).
Was this a church group visiting the estate? How many ordinary "non churched" people know the words to Holy, Holy, Holy! Great arrangement and yes, I too have been here!
The Atlantic City Midmer-Losh organ actually received a grant a while back to undergo repairs, and is now 90 percent playable. In a short amount of time, it'll be completely refinished.

R Martin Our Mothers are in this world our biggest CHAMPIONSHIP! God Bless all Mothers in this world.
Where can I can get a lot this man's videos
This is the best re-harmonization (last verse treatment) I've ever heard for this hymn. SUPERB!
Absolutely beautiful. I have always enjoyed the organ in church. This gives me chills of the good kind!!!!!
That trumpet is really spine chillingly beautiful. Wow.
So we're the bells in the introduction.
Martin Ellis is a good friend of mine, and I know of no other musician who works harder. He is an excellent classical organist, but this was a theater organ gig for him.

I am an organist in the church and this hymn is one of my all-time favorites!
Magnificent and uplifting.
Praise the Lord.
The pipe organ is my favorite musical instrument of all
Hence it’s nickname “The King” of musical instruments
Beautiful! I miss my childhood church
As Michael Barone once nicknamed the theatre organ "the showbiz couzin" of the king of instruments, it is nice to see that the Mighty Wurlitzer goes to church now and again:). This organ is amazing, and I have enjoyed Dr. William's performances on it, and this rendition of Nicea is amazing indeed. I only have room for twelve ranks at present--but Wurlitzers can really sound big no matter how big can't they! Thanks to this very fine organist!!
you are absolutely correct, Thaddeus...I had the unique privilege of growing up with a magnificent pipe organ in my home church for a period of 16 years...the accoustics in Evangelistic Tabernacle in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada were magnificent, and my birth mother Loewina was one of the marvellous artists who brought worship to a whole new level, as well as other artists who played that organ.

The third verse accompaniment is absolutely beautifully bonkers and I love it so much. Makes the final resolution a triumphant command of order and glory!
It’s great hearing you play a great hymn on this theatre organ. I would love to play some great hymns on it too.
fighting back tears as I'm listening to this; we gotta get the organ out and play something old school again at my church.
Wow!!! Absolutely incredible!!! I am a huge fan of pipe organs and traditional hymns. (I have no use for contemporary worship services.) Thank you for sharing this!!
You and me both! Contemporary worship songs are so ANNOYING!!!
Now THIS is WORSHIP MUSIC!!! :-) Beautiful!!!!
¡¡¡SANTO, SANTO, SANTO!!! ¡¡¡SOLI DEO GLORIA!!! GRACIAS Thaddeus Reynolds
🇧🇷 As we say in Portuguese, "Muinto lindo" very beautiful (gorgeous)!
Oh my LORD GOD ALMIGHTY....This is amazing rendition of one of my favorites....amazing. See you in heaven...you took me part way there with your playing...wow, tears in my eyes!
Amen, well said. Brought on the 'waterworks' for me too. So beautiful!
GOD BLESS this man and this Instrument, it is an incredibly unique and beautiful thing...
God bless you all and have a wonderful day!
Such a glorifying testament to God's never changing righteousness and glory.
This is an AMAZING version. The ending blows my doors away!
speechless. very nice, it feels as if the holy spirit has touched me after listening to this
Very much agree with Mr. Reynolds! Placement of mics might be an issue, however, the ORGAN draws the lyrics out of you provided you know the tune! How can you not be moved and want to repeat this great Hymn! Gees! This is similar to what the Old Tyme Revivals were striving for! Move your Spirit! Mr. Ellis jumps to the front of the line!

The last several chords paired with the dominance of the instrument blew me away.

This is GREAT and WONDERFUL !
That takes modulation to a whole new level. Didn't like all the changes but then there were so many that were jaw dropping it didn't matter.
Have mercy!!!!! This is a beast of an Organist. Those Chord changes at that last verse makes one unable to sing along. You just wanna listen.
Beautiful!
I really enjoyed this performance. Thank you for posting it!

Magnificent playing- thank you

A favorite old hymn. Sounds great on this theatre organ. That horizontal trumpet sounds fine except for the G.
Thank you for sharing this.
Sang this at Mass this morning!
beautiful!
Playing like this is so awesome....Wow....I wish I could just sit at try but that will never happen....Beautiful
BRAVO well done and using this magnificent organ is best yet

Wow absolutely amazing, I'd love to play at San Fillipo
Just love that console - so tasteful, so modest, so understated. They don't make 'em like that any more.
It's gotta be the Lutherans!!! Who else could sing like that??? Great job!
That ending was spectacular!
My dear old grandma's thrilling (spine chilling) descant would have been quite a bit a sea on that last verse. She would have bravely battled on undeterred though in keeping with the wonderfully hardy Yorkshire woman that she was! We miss her so much (and her 'amazing' descant)!
I liked the last verse - very powerful and you can still hear the melody
I was totally lost when the thing starts to rotate down the floor. Very nice arrangement.

love the trumpets good job
Great Performance!

What an amazing instrument!
Beautiful music !!
Indeed, you are very correct and spot-on. That should be shouted from the church roof-top.
Churches are really missing out going to warmed over bar music by "praise bands"...
I agree! What's real and magnificent is always better than a fake that tries to imitate it.
Very much agree!
Agreed! But many are starting to realize it.
All depends on the location. Many churches aren't near big enough.
Marc Cormier
please... those non-denominational mega-churches have PLENTY of people, and they STILL use that praise band bullshit!
Always loved the Holy Holy Holy song
Wow....Really nice : )
I love this hymn and sometimes play in my church..
Brilliant!
Things really got good when out of theater mode! What arrangement is this? Accidentals and key changes galore!! Very emotional - esp. with singing with this great tune.
I would not be surprised if HE arranged it himself, though I don't know his musical background.
We're blessed in the city of Birmingham,Alabama to have one at the historic Alabama Theater.
People! How could this possibly piece possibly be less than a Praise Band?
This piece truly stirs the soul! This is so well done, plus Mr. Ellis' other works - inc. the Masonic Temple efforts. Thank you all!!!
I wish we had one
ok first of all who ever said the pipe organ sucks is so far off its not even funny!!! the pipe organ in classical or theater style is one of the most intersting and complex pieces of mechanical wonder that to this day they still cannot produce the exact duplicate without pipes being involved.....so if u dont like pipe organs dont listen

Soo cool to have that revolving platform to lower the console. The Mighty Wurlitzer in Wichita, KS doesn't do that, alas...
Fantastic !
This is not the world's largest theater pipe organ. That one is in Atlantic City, and the console is contained in its own room, surrounded by contols, pedals, stops, and manuals.
Wow! When I was a kid I wanted to do what you get to do.
Beautiful chord
@goodchappy - I wouldn't exactly call it straight, what with the bells and so on... but I'd love to hear Franck, Tournemire, Vierne etc on a Wurlitzer!
Anyone else tear up a little?
Count me in too. The Lord is amazing!
Yup. Floods
If you feel his presence in the music, image when you go before him. He is truly the King of kings.
YES
@@y2blas- Amen! Well said. We in our earthly limitation have no concept of Glory to be seen when we're finally with Him.
Très beau, very beautiful!
Superb talent, very very very .................super😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😎😎
I'm going to go enter ASU to learn to play this wonderful machine!!! :) ITS MY DREAM!!!!!!!
If only the church I go to had an organ like that.
Thanks for listening! E. Power Biggs call the theater organ the "King of instruments, turned clown." A bit harsh, perhaps.

Awesome Sir.
Can you please drop a pdf of your arrangement. Thank you
This trumpet stop is very loud! I'd love to compete with it!!

Awesome - the solo tumpet made my hair stand on end
Was this a church group visiting the estate? How many ordinary "non churched" people know the words to Holy, Holy, Holy! Great arrangement and yes, I too have been here!
The Atlantic City Midmer-Losh organ actually received a grant a while back to undergo repairs, and is now 90 percent playable. In a short amount of time, it'll be completely refinished.
