- Edward Elgar composed Pomp and Circumstance No. 1 in 1901. The work was played on the Newberry Memorial Organ at Woolsey Hall on the new Hutching Organ in 1905. At that time Edward Elgar received an honorary doctorate of music from Yale.
Here Organist Michael T. C. Hey plays it on the Great Organ at Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. The current organs at Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York City were designed by Pietro Yon and built by the Kilgen Organ Company of St. Louis, Missouri. Yon’s successor, Charles Courboin, made subtle tonal changes to the organ, but it was Courboin’s successor, John Grady, made the most significant alterations to the organ’s tonal makeup with substantial revoicing of the reed stops. Grady was followed by John-Michael Caprio, who was responsible for the first major cleaning of the cathedral organs in more than years. Under his supervision, two twin five-manual consoles were built by Robert Turner of California, enabling the combined organs’ more than, pipes to be played simultaneously from either end of the cathedral. From 1993 to 1995 the Peraggallo Organ Company of Paterson, N.J., fully cleaned and rewired the enormous instrument, later adding the present unenclosed pipe work to the existing Echo division, located at the cathedral’s crossing.

Michael Hey has been increasingly visible on concert stages across the country. In 2010, he made his New York City debut in Alice Tully Hall performing with the Juilliard Orchestra, and has since performed solo recitals at Lincoln Center, Kimmel Center (Philadelphia), Kennedy Center (Washington D.C.), and the Esplanade (Singapore). He graduated in 2014 from the Juilliard School with bachelor and master of music degrees in organ performance, under Paul Jacobs. He was immediately appointed Assistant Director of Music and Organist of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City where, in September 2015, he performed for Masses for the first U.S. visit of Pope Francis. Mr. Hey was one of the finalists in the 2016 Longwood Gardens International Organ Competition (Pennsylvania).

who needs an orchestra to play this when you have Mr Hey playing it on the mighty Kilghen at St Patrick's Cathedral??? This should be the "gold standard" for Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance!
I have NEVER heard this played so well on an organ in the whole of my life. What a joy to listen to you Sir. You have such talent, long may you continue to please so many people with your music.
David ... try to find Vitgil Fox's at Wanamaker's c. 1964.
Michael does a Stirling job!
The orchestral-sounding chamade trumpet at 5:18 is the most authentic-sounding trumpet stop I have heard.
Elgar would have been proud! And fantastic pedal thechnique!
Beautiful pedal work
The marvelous result of thousands of hours of work!! Great performance!!
Twinkletoes and twinklefingers. Amazing to be able to fit in so many notes on manuals and pedalboard at this speed and from memory. I'm astounded !
Smooth as silk and dynamic as ever.
A-mazing!
I don't think I have ever heard such an excellent performance of this piece.
BRILLIANT!
same lol
Those of us that are fans of the "king of instruments" are truly blessed to have a wonderful prodigy like Michael at such a young age. Limitless potential, and kinda scary!
The trumpet stop at the end sounds like it could overpower the entire organ. Pretty cool in my opinion!
damn... I love this guy, purple socks and all!!
MAGNIFICENT!! It gives me chills!
I love the way his feet are romancing the pedals at the hymnal section of this festive piece
You are an inspiration Sir! I have not heard this played this well on an organ ever before! whoaow!
You are truly a Gift of God Michael. I hope God brings us together one fine dayI am Resident Church Organist self taught and played in the presence OF THE LATE, His Eminence Cardinal Basil Hume OSB.
As an organist myself - I loved your expression, Michael! We can't play that instrument like typewriters - you have to feel and express the beauty and power of it! Great job.
Wonderful! I loved that Chamade Trumpet surprise!!
I am listening yet again to this favorite and marvel that this is being played from memory! How do organists do that? Wow!
Excellent!!! He plays it without sheet music.... Wonderful! He is a MASTER Organist!!
He is wearing the magic purple socks !!
One of the best Organ Composition I heard ever....
My God what a fantastic young man. All in his memory and look at his feet. Take me months to come a mile of that. Joyous......................
WOW !! And I keep playing the trumpet solo over and over.
There were six of these Military Marches from Elgar.
This No. 1 in D
Number 4 is also a great organ transcription.
Simply, BRILLIANT!
Playing such a huge instrument must feel like flying a big jet airliner. Most of us can only watch in awe and wonder.
정말 멋진 연주예요~^^
자주듣고 있어요
신의 축복을 받으시길 빕니다
Reminds me so much of high school graduation but they used theater organ. It was 35 years ago, but wish you had been there to do this piece!
Thanking you 👉 🇺🇸
From London.
🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸
Love your technique. You make it seem so effortless. Congratulations.
When I was young, I didn’t like this piece of music. Then I went to school (higher education), which was very challenging for many years, and I graduated. I marched to this tune and fell in love with it, it was a part of my big day and it is special now as a memory! Fabulously played in this video, too! Just amazing!
Totally blown away , this Organist is bang on it , Totally in awe , the foot work is " UNBELIEVABLE " . THANKYOU ❤
WAOOO THIS GUY JUST MADE MY DAY..I HAVE NOT HEARD THIS WORK PLAYED IN THE PIPE ORGAN BUT I HAVE SEEN IT NOW ...MICHAEL T.C PLEASE BE MY TEACHER AND TEACH ME ...YOU ARE TRULY A MASTER IN BASE PEDALS....I APPRECIATE YOU...
What an amazing organist!!!
Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!
Very emotional, to listen I see my children Graduation
technical perfection n an organ that has never sounded better
As the other reviewers before me have said, this is not only a manifestation of consummate technical skill, but being able to effectively communicate the beauty of the piece through superb selection of what are ideal registrations and effective use of the expression divisions. Marvelous recording, as well. Bravo!
The best recording of this piece ever. The organist superb. The organ better than ever, my favorite Cathedral organ.
Wonderful! Powerful! Genius!
MORE PLEASE MICHAEL!!
Thanks for the great rendition of an old favorite, Michael. What an irresistible melody! Oh, the socks are pretty irresistible, too!
The second movement of this beautiful piece really hits home for me, as it was played live at my high school graduation by my high school marching band (mainly the returning members).
T. C. Hey needs no approval from me. He is a gifted ORGANIST and he masters that huge PIPE ORGAN at St. Patrick Bravo!!!!
He most certainly is
It sounds like Virgil Fox at the Wanamaker organ in 1976. There is a genius in this young man. MyGod award him a long and fruitful life.
BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE IN A BEAUTIFUL SPACE WITH A BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENT.
It doesn't get more quintessentially British than this .. and then we hear "Land of Hope and Glory" in the middle
Beautiful rendition Sir!
All the great English speaking democracies are "Lands of Hope and Glory" not just England. Go figure.
I just witnessed absolute perfection...that organ loves you 😎
Absolutely great. I like the way that you sway with the waves of the music. You have a connection with the music. Thank you.
I am totally amazed at this talent. Gobsmacked. Fantastic. All by ear. ⛪️🇬🇧💙🌈

I have no words but to say what an amazing organist!!

Edward does such an excellent job playing this piece. This was played at my high school graduation in May 1979. Thanks for the great memories Edward.
Truly magnificent, what a joy and what a wonderful talent and skill set this young man has, bravo!
Reminds me of my eight grade graduation inn St Marys Cathedral in 1996 I haven’t heard it like that since then best I’ve heard in years on the organ live ❤️

I got to see him preform “pageant” by Leo Sowerby recently. He stunned everyone in the cathedral
Very beautifully played on a wonderful pipe organ
Spettacolare sei fantastico
Awesome performance!!! Combined with the quality of the video: priceless. It must be a big challenge to perform with the acoustics of St. Patrick's. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
That trumpet at the end just about scared the crap outta me!

Very well done Michael. Particularly love your delicate footwork and use of the sliding technique. Very professional video - great quality video and audio. I put my headphones on and could easily imagine I was sat in the Cathedral listening to you play this! Thank you for taking the time to record and upload.
Thanks so much for bringing these marvelous videos to RUclips.
Very well played, in fact one of the best organ performances of this piece I've ever heard. I especially liked the bright sounding reed solo in the final 'Land of hope and glory'. :)
