love the flower on the console !! also very nice and "swaying" tempo, just right and not too fast. you can really imagine some people back in the 18th century scuttling back and forth... Thanks Christopher for this very fine rendition.
Love that piece! It' really nice to play in the morning, and get your day off to a cheery start! After a LOT of faithful practicing, it starts to flow very nicely. I like the speed that Christopher plays it, and yes, that pedalling is more difficult than it looks, especially for short legged organists, and if you don't play it on an organ with a AGO pedal board. It's not a song that you easily tire of.
I was married in St George's Church back in 1970 so this performance of the Trumpet Minuet is of particular interest. Don K. makes a good point about different bridal music. We wanted something different, too, and we chose the Prelude to Charpentier's Te Deum (long before it was used as the Eurovision ident). Our organist didn't know it and I remember sitting on the stairs and playing it to him over the phone from an LP I got from Hendon Music Library!
Such elegant playing... Thanks so much for sharing this performance. I've just ordered the music and we'll see if I do even half as well as you with it!
Say what? No likes? seriously, there is one like now :) Well deserved, I bet this is much more demanding than people think as it sounds as if is just rolls of the keys.
If you think these consoles are weird, you should try a Norman & Beard Hollins Special! There's one near me, at a church in West Byfleet (St John's?). You've got conventional stop-knobs, in three segments above the manuals (Pedal on the left, Great in the middle, Swell on the right), in two rows, but, underneath them, are these weird little buttons which either cancel a stop or bring it on (I can't remember which). They're not too awkward to use, but they take some getting used to.
Nicely played. Have a look also, if you will, to Clay Christiansen's performance at the Mormon Tabernacle. But actually there is little to choose between those two maestros.
Are the stop controls underneath the manuals? That's a very oddly designed console, but I assume it's nice when your making registration changes. Very interesting and well played!
A happy piece of music and beautifully played.
Vivaciously, but also gracefully played. I love it!
I bet I listen to this piece 20 times and still enjoy it. Thanks for posting
I heard this piece played for the first time last week. Thanks for this wonderful performance!
Wonderfully uplifting music. I was mesmerised by the organist's feet!!
Splendid performance on so thoroughly "Enlighs" an organ. Bravo.
Just wonderfully played... timing... tone and feel for this minuete Matthew just wonderful
Blessing dear brother
Heavenly, simply heavenly. I ordered the music. Cant wait to get to work on it.
Thanks so much for watching. I hope you enjoy learning it when you get the music.
Bravo! Excellent playing on what sounds like a fine instrument.
Whoever this young man is he is good. I absolutely enjoyed watching his performance on the organ especially his foot pedaling. Bravo! Excellent!!

Well done, well played just delightful and beautiful Thank you
I think this is the first time I've ever heard this piece played in its entirety without any omissions of segments to make it shorter! Very Nice!
Bravo...Bravo...Bravo....wonderfully played on this fine sounding organ!! Thanks!!...(P.S. love the plant!!!)
Thanks. It was Mothering Sunday, so potted plants were given out to take home to Mother!
Wonderfully played! Thank you sir!

This piece appears to be difficult in the pedal section is it not? I wish I could find the sheet music? Dr. Barnes
It's in The Organist's Wedding Album (Volume Two) Cramer Music
Lovely, thank you. I find that Hollins' work is harder to play than it looks. Maybe much more practise is required for me.
Delightful to listen to,,, but where's the bride?
When was the organ built?
