Thank you Ben. A great old hymn indeed, with a long history and development. I like how you begin with strong upbeat verse-chorus, then slow the tempo, and soften the various registration "colors", then end with a "big bang". I enjoy playing that way also. Cheers, - Matt
A beautiful piece of music and rendition; I only wish he would hold the ending for a few more bars. holding those last notes longer dang near seizes my heart, and I LOVE it!!
@@SalisburyOrganist I guess that's a good way of preventing the later additions from "spoiling" the original instrument visually. The drawback is that it must be possible to forget you've got one of them latched on if you don't look down!
Thanks very much, Ben. At last, we've found a professional who doesn't belt through but plays with great sensibility!
i like how the organ goes from a loud and cocky attitude to a calm and chill one

I've been looking for a good organ recording of this song, this is by far the best one I've found! Superb job.

Ben: phenomenal! Now get the Union Forever by George F Root. It’s a famous US Civil War song.
Hmm it seams the feet are connected to the keys
I always thought the feet work independend of the hand in pipe organ
Please my I ask: how are the three additional (2002) pedal stops operated? I couldn’t see any stops for these in the NPOR photos.
There are three pedal levers to the left of bottom C - watch me hit the latch for the trombone just before the final chorus 😀

Can someone explain the left arm flourish? I don't see a purpose and wonder if it the organist's affectation.
