I have always loved organ music being an ex cathedral chorister, I sometimes just sit in the choir stalls and revel in the sound as it vibrates through my body.
As a professional singer who regularly performs in one of the grandest cathedrals in England (Winchester), with an equally grand organ, I didn't know what to expect when I stumbled across this. But it's wonderful. Just the right amount of reverb, and lush strings and flues particularly, make this really epic. in my opinion, this is how organ improvisation should be: the slow unfolding of ideas with a huge backdrop of space.
My grandfather used to play and sell organs. The vibration of pipe organs in church were meant for healing. Vibration of which will make the hair on your arm stand up. You can feel it in your bones. I miss that.
I was carried floating into the heavens and welcomed by the angels, I've been waiting for this kind of organ meditation for years, thank you, thank you 🙏
I love praying the novena as I listen to this. I feel that it brings me closer to Jesus. I can't wait for him to answer my prayers. Stay in faith, my brothers & sisters in Christ.🙏🏼💒✝️
As a pipe organists daughter and musician myself - this is wonderful and so needed….the vibration of the pipes for prayer and the Skinner timbre! LOVE this, Aaron. Blessings from dallas!
Oh my gosh that first song was so heavenly. The slow chord transitions flows so naturally and build in such a lovely way. I wish there was sheet music for this so I could learn it myself! Great work!
The slow breakdown of dissonant and consonant chords is very calming and seems to take you on a journey. As for the organ, your stop list is PERFECTION. You slowly fold in high flute and reed stops at the end of a crescendo, all while keeping the pedal and great division stops coupled, grounding you. Well done.
This composition is excellent as an ideal background for doing other work, completely eliminating any distractions and building an inner energy for positive motivation. When I want to blot out everything and everyone around me in order to focus, this hour plus of piped relaxation is perfect, every time. Well done!
Aaron!! I’ve always enjoyed seeing all these big long studying/meditative/ambient queues of music throughout the entirety of RUclips. I have always- (as a full-on organist and obsessee of solely the king of instruments) -wanted to see these big queues for the organ!!! My wishes were sure answered! I’m glad someone else can give this much love to the organ too. Even love the ever-shifting dynamic videography in the background, what a beautiful touch to the whole package. Thanks Aaron!🙌
Much appreciated!! I'm the same way, I listen to ambient videos on RUclips every week, and it finally occurred to me that pipe organ should have it's place in this realm as well. I plan on doing more, as I really enjoyed creating this one. Thanks again!
Wow oh wow!!! I felt as if I was already in heaven for one hour. I absolutely love church organ music and this was food for my soul. I forgot about all my aches and pains while listening to this amazing music. I've got a terrible cold at the moment, and I have got arm muscle pain in both my arms since last year, and I have lower back pain too. I have sleep problems because of my ill health. So this music was pure joy to my ears. Thank you very much for uploading it and I hope you provide more. 😊
So glad to hear that this has been helpful, and yes, I plan to do more in the future. There is currently a second hour, a "Cathedral Ambience Volume II" on my channel, as well. Peace to you!
Yes, your church organ music was so uplifting and I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Really happy to hear that you have a Volume II on your channel as well. While I'm there I will also subscribe to you. Thank you.
This is absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad this video showed up in my recommendations, because I will return to it time and time again. Thank you, very sincerely. Simply gorgeous.
Again, I listen to this recording over and over, and each time words cannot express my amazement at where this hour and 12 minutes takes me. As one who has battled anxiety, this masterpiece is an incredible and effective treatment. Extremely well done!
They weren't only built for looks. The ornate detail is impeccable, and the angelic architecture was fully functional. These were healing stations. Why were churches open 24/7? The ER is open right?
As a pipe organ tuner apprentice ( for only a year) I’ve been up close to the pipes and that world is amazing. Only time will tell how long we’ll have the king of instruments. As a Hammond B3 and Leslie owner, the Skinner is absolutely a heaven on earth. What an incredible stop selection and amazing quality. Thank you so much for an outstanding treat!!👍😊❤️🙏
What a wonderful hour of peace and contemplation enhanced by fantastic ethereal music on the King of instruments. Ely is a wonderful cathedral in the Fens. It is very special. Thank you.
I like this. I will download it for offline play. Sounds so calm. Not voices. I think an alternative version of this with more bass would be amazing to feel the vibration with the headphones.
Well I put a 1970 13 stop Reuter in my home. So addictive! Just for ambience and diddly around. Skinner is a god. We just lost pipe maker Tommy Anderson who worked with Skinner. His first order was auditorium organ and his last is Dr Blackstone. Reuter studied both. Thanks for the post!!
Had a dream once that my soul went to a cathedral high above the clouds. It was made of wood with many carvings of angels and crosses. Wisdom of the journey was revealed but I cannot remember them, but I remember the emotions. I truly believe I was in heaven albeit a short time. Praise to god , the lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit whom dwell in such a place.
Totally blown away by the beautiful sounds this organ gives to our ears. How beautiful this is !!! It makes me forget al my worrys each day. Thank you for posting !! Greetings from Holland.
Dear Aaron, you did well. I love this spheric sound. When I travel to space, I take this recording with me and I will overlook the world with great sound. Thank you for sharing.
I love this already and it’s been. I was an organist earlier in this life and improvisation could become a meditation and a prayer. If anyone’s wondering, the picture is Ely Cathedral. In the top middle of the picture is the octagonal Lantern. This is the story I believe, the more usual Central tower collapsed at some point, and the cathedral put in this eight sided lantern (built 1328-1342) which lets in an incredible amount of light, as well as being very beautiful from the inside and out. I’ve also heard that. There are eight pieces of great lumber as part of this lantern, and that when it was built in Oak Forest was planted for the times in the future, when great lumber would again be needed.
You are not alone. You are forgiven from your mistakes and accepted to be yourself. You are a wonderful person and nothing bad shall occur to you. What you think is what you will see, so live the most wonderful life you possibly can. I believe in you, we believe in you, and God believes in you. Whatever the weather, sun, storm or rain, you will make it through, even when you don't think it yourself, cause you are the only you, and nobody can change that. ❤️👁️💪
Oh my word! This is so beautiful and I don't know how it's taken me a year to find it! Thank you for this - every blessing to you just as this blesses all of us deeply who listen🙏
I agree, there is a hint of RW in this... Another odd tie in, but, Ely Cathedral (where the pictures are from) is on the Pink Floyd Division Bell album cover.
This is very well done -- very nice harmonic sequences and dissonance/ resolution. It reminds me a great deal of Chuck Wild's "Liquid Mind" compositions -- which I had thought I might try to something of on the organ -- similar to what you have done. While it's very well done, for my ears the registration is a bit on the heavy side (startng at 4:10 becomes a bit too "present") with too many forays into the 2' sound and solo lines. Overall very good for helping draw in the mind, but on the other hand a bit too intrusive. What I'm hearing is diapasons that are being held back, when what I'd rather hear is strings presented a bit more forward -- the broader-scaled strings such as the Gamba and Gemshorn with their corresponding celestes.
Thanks for the comments! Definitely too many forays into the 2' sound and solo lines for anyone's ears, and overall it's indeed a bit too intrusive. What on earth was I thinking? Lol
@@aaronshows perhaps you were just thinking a bit too much on earth -- you're getting a great registration for a romantic period piece. For Ambience v2 try thinking a bit more "heavenly" -- "celestial" = more celestes ;-)
@@aBachwardsfellow Interesting! Hmm, I have a favor to ask: would you mind recording a full hour-long video example so I can know the correct way to do these?
@@aaronshows I would love to -- if I could find an hour at the instrument to do so; I'm currently maxed out, do not have access to the instrument, and have limited recording capabilities (a Zoom Q3 -- does the job ok -- somewhat). What I would recommend (and what I would do if I were to make a recording) would be to listen to Chuck Wild's Liquid Mind piece titled "Peace" or "Lullaby" (actually -- your piece already sounds a lot like it ...) and then "transcribe" it -- or compose something along those lines -- on the organ; staying fairly solidly on the 8' pitches - broader-scaled strings and celestes for a clear foundational pitch -- with just a light touch of 4' strings, and perhaps some light 8' flute or 4' flute lines in the manuals, and corresponding 16' strings in the pedals; sometimes maybe a 16' string in the manuals could be added for more depth ... What you have at 51:24 is nice and quiet, with a lovely flute coming in at 52:37 and continuing through to 53:53 where it starts to build. I've listened to vol II and vol III also and they're all very well done, only they make use of a wider range of registrations than may be best suited for sleep. I know it feels counter-intuitive as an artist to remain at a consistent level for so long -- especially with all the resources you have available in that instrument. But for meditation and sleep it needs to stay level and stay low. Compositionally I think it works fairly well -- harmonically, harmonic pace, etc. If you (and I assume you may) have the piece you recorded for this written out (or was it just pure improv? ) -- in any case -- re-record it using a different registration goal more towards the sleep / meditation end -- nothing too energizing, jarring, or focused that would switch to a more active listening experience (and if you can get all the way through recording it without putting yourself to sleep ...) You might check out "When Peace Like" on my channel as a possible example -- played on a Yamaha P125 using the synth PAD string (you'll have to forgive the jarring high (1' ?!) part at 1:08 - 1:10 - I wasn't expecting that when I played it ...). But seriously -- as far as composition I think what you have is fine. In fact I (and perhaps others as well) would be interested in obtaining a copy of it if it's available.
@@aaronshows ooh-kay -- I'm a bit slow on the upload, but now I understand you were being just a bit facetious and probably having a few LOL's with your organ buddies at this amateur attempting to offer some "serious advice" (lol! :-D ) while you have neither any interest in or need of such ... All three of your Cathedral Ambience's are fine -- they get the job done, with some really nice videography as well -- really, all very nice. There really is no need to produce a version of "Liquid Mind" on the organ since we already have Liquid Mind, and you've come close enough to it anyway - we don't really need a wanna-be Liquid Mind on a pipe organ.
This is so beautiful! Wow -I can't thank you enough for making this video. Organ music definitely brings peace to my life. Keep up your great work! With gratitude...
A great ambient set piece! (It's the difference between music that does and doesn't demand your attention. Both can be supportive to the soul.) The ability to manipulate and shape the reverb is very exciting. You done a great job here, Aaron! It's one of the attractive features in virtual pipe organ software like Hauptwerk (which I am playing with) to be able to play these cathedral instruments in their native space. Were the background images from your recent European trip (Ely Cathedral... I think)?
Thanks, Brooks!! Yep, it's Ely Cathedral, which I thought was especially beautiful among the places I visited. One of my future dreams for this channel is to build a home (well, apartment for me) Hauptwerk setup and be able to livestream and record using various instruments around the world. Just gotta have that one necessary aspect: funds! But yes, in the meantime, this was a new experiment in morphing the acoustic of the instrument I currently play. I wore headphones while I played and heard the extra reverb in real-time, which was super useful. I'll likely do more of these!

The Octogan at Ely Cathedral. Beautiful, thanks.
This improvisation of yours is one of my favourites of all time, the simplicity of it doesn't take away from it at all
I have always loved organ music being an ex cathedral chorister, I sometimes just sit in the choir stalls and revel in the sound as it vibrates through my body.

Your so right. King James music! Very good!
My grandfather used to play and sell organs. The vibration of pipe organs in church were meant for healing. Vibration of which will make the hair on your arm stand up. You can feel it in your bones.
I miss that.
It definitely resonates in the soul!
Agreed the sounds of the King of Instruments does amazing and wonderful things for the body soul and spirit.
Why would anyone ever remove the organ or the giant bells from churches or cathedrals? We are easier to manage when we're chronically ill.
My Father restores pipe organs. Pipes bring music through the air in such a way to travel beyond the tired world and land deep into your soul.
I stumbled on it. This music 🎶 is the gift 🎁 of the Holy Trinity for me for Christmas 2025. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ.
This will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul, and evoke comfortable feelings
What this Troubled World needs more of!
The kind of ethereal music that takes you to another place, away from your worries and troubles
I was carried floating into the heavens and welcomed by the angels, I've been waiting for this kind of organ meditation for years, thank you, thank you 🙏
Glory ❤
I love praying the novena as I listen to this. I feel that it brings me closer to Jesus. I can't wait for him to answer my prayers.
Stay in faith, my brothers & sisters in Christ.🙏🏼💒✝️

Th lush strings of a Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner organ are unmatched against any other organ.
Nie ma nic piękniejszego od dźwięków organów, zawsze je uwielbiałam .Wibracja organów jest jedyna w swoim rodzaju. Boski, cudowny instrument.

Thank you Aaron for this time of music for meditation, and prayer 🙏
Your recording are truly relaxing and meditative I love the organ and your selection we need more of you God Bless
I'm putting this on my dog's playlist, my cat's playlist, and my playlist 🛕
Ahh 💗 Bless you Aaron! Thank you for creating and sharing this profound healing music. Absolutely beautiful ✨ 🙏🏼 ✨
Feel the peace of Christ with this music. God Bless ❤
Your voicing and registration is just exquisite. The art of organ voicing is often overlooked, but not here! Thank you, and well done!
Божественная музыка органная сердце разрывается ❤❤❤😎 😍 🤩 😋 😊 😃
Aaron, thank you for this. I use it for my deep, deep time in the Lord's presence. It doesn't intrude; it just enhances. Truly a gift.

Thank you!!

Your content is painfully under appreciated. Keep up the wonderful work.
That means a lot, Dwight -- thanks! Slow and steady growth has been the trend here so far, but I definitely wish it was quicker!
was visiting the cathedral in tarragona when the organist started practicing one time and i had to find a video to help me go back there thank u ❤
I'm a sucker for Lauridsen's work, and this is very much his vibe- full of 7th chords and suspensions. Awesome stuff, man!
L'orgue dans tout sa splendeur, une musique qui côtoie le céleste, merci !!!

Aaron this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing
God Bless you. This is beautiful. Someday I hope I can play something as good as this.
So beautiful... maybe this is what Messiaen is playing up in Paradiso. The organ is my favorite instrument :) I hope to learn to play it some day!
Pipe organ is the King of Instruments
ESTA MUSICA RELAJA Y TE LLEVA UNA CALMA COMO NUNCA LA EXPERIMENTE
Well I put a 1970 13 stop Reuter in my home. So addictive! Just for ambience and diddly around.

Beautiful. Very relaxing and calming 😊
This comfortable and solemn music is a breath of fresh air in our life ofless than 100 years in this trasient world of so much hassle and annoyances
Perfect music to read Psalms by.
I’m going to be using this so much! It’s beautiful, thank you!

I wish there was sheet music for this. Id play it for my services
This is so inspiring for contemplative writing in the morning. Thank you!
These are pure GOLD💯 I can't express my gratitude enough❤
Thanks
I've listened to this while on shrooms. It literally sent me to heaven
Nice!!
Amazing work. Took me on a real, relaxing trip.
It's beautiful! Love organ pipe sounds..
Wow, very Richard Wright of Pink Floyd
Nothing matters when this plays
