It is amazing to see the evolution of your set up from the blinks lights on the 3 manual keyboard set up on the Paul Manz piece to this set up compete with wooden keys numbered presets and toe studs. Wow and your playing is incredible. Thanks for posting this.
Very much enjoyed your performance again. Always look forward to your postings. Like the Salisbury set too. Best of luck with the nest two sememters.You are a GREAT addition to the World of Organ.
Hi Rob, Thanks for such a great piece of music. I enjoy all of your downloads and look forward to your next one. This recording is great, the transition at 56 seconds is a wonderful surprise! I hope that you continue with your amazing playing. I attend mass at The Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Boston Ma with Leo Abbot, Cathedral Organist. Best of luck, Peter Bresnahan I
Thanks, Joe. Yes, I've been working on finishing my degree, haven't had as much time as I used to for producing videos. Just a couple of semesters left though! I hope to post videos more regularly at that time.
Very nice!. It's good to see a new posting. I can appreciate how busy you are with work and school. And congrats on joining the Milan team. That's excellent. I see you got the new console desk. The toe studs will be a nice addition. Did you catch Richard's performance this past Sunday with the Bach Sinfonia? It was total Richard Elliott virtuosity and amazing to watch.

Rob, I absolutely love listening to you play! I want to build a Hauptwerk with pipe samples from the Tabernacle and Conference Center in Salt Lake City. Both of those organs are my absolute favorite organs of all time. Where can I get a Hauptwerk Console?
One of the major problems with sampled organs is the intermodulation produced by loud speakers which causes unnatural beats. It drives me crazy in my home hybird theatre organ, so much so that if I could I would dump all of the electronics and just have real pipes. And yes, I know that the high end commerical instruments have ways around the problem but it requires many amplifier/speaker channels.
Rob, I love all of your recordings! PLEASE tell me how I would go about purchasing an organ just like this one in this video. I love the Hauptwerk "real" sound and the wooden keyboard.
The hardware is at midiworks.ca. Getting a console like this would be well over 10,000 USD plus all of the software. One wood-core keyboard like the one in the video costs 1,200 on it's own. The full Salisbury Cathedral organ costs 1,200 on hauptwerk.com and the Advanced software costs 500 some dollars, which is required for running larger organs. Overall, this would cost over 20,000 USD. I would put in the extra work to create one yourself like the one on www.fagerjord.org/. He took three M-audio midi keyboards and mounted them in homemade keycheeks as well as his own pedalbaord.
Hello, can you give a cost estimate on duplicating your setup? Software, monitors, computer, keyboards, pedalboard, etc. I love classical organ and am mostly self-taught. I'm interested in pursuing my interest further and recently discovered Hauptwerk. A nice practice organ from Rodgers is out of my budget for sure. Any resources you could direct me to would be appreciated. Obviously you're advanced in your studies. Watching your videos gives me something to aspire to. Thank you!
Hello Rob - great performance! Love the keyboards, pedals and your technique is magnificent. Is Dr. Elliott's arrangement published yet? If so, do you know what firm released it and where they are located? Dale G. Rider, Independence, MO
Like.....pump up the audio sir!!!! I don't have hearing aids that can make up the lack!! Geese!! Don't u performers LISTEN to the results??? What a waste of well-skilled effort.
We performers do actually listen to the results. The "problem" is that this is classical organ music, not pop music on the radio. There's a huge dynamic range ranging from whisper quiet to blastissimo. Organ music sounds pretty bad once you apply the kind of radio-style dynamic range compression you seem to be looking for. You need a better sound system or headphones to hear the recording correctly.
Very inspiring!!! I find more meaning in songs from way over 100 years ago than in modern music!!
I love listening to the sounds coming from your digital organ it has. Great tones and realisim
Who would think a Willis organ would be so well suited for a piece like this! Great playing! You are incredibly talented.
Wonderful work. Here comes the future! Wow! Blessings all over your world. CVD
My "thought" as well. Wondering when auditions are.
Wonderful to have another piece by you to play over and over. Post again soon!

Very fine perfomance, Rob!
Thank you for posting this grand piece of music!!!

Absolutely magnificent!
I had to skip half the video before I could finally hear this, and I had my laptop's speakers at full blast the whole time.
thats no good the music is amazing from the beginning, have you tried headphones?
Rob, you've convinced me that I've got to go to a Hauptwerk setup! I love the Willis sample set!
wonderful!! greeting from the Netherlands
The first portion sounded like a band of French horns. That organ is amazing
Fantastic! Love the sound of the digital. Great to have you post again.
Best version yet!

Lance ♫♪♫
Rob, your hands look perfect - purely dedicated to The Work.
I like very much the setup you chose. Congratulation.
Thanks, Joe. Yes, I've been working on finishing my degree, haven't had as much time as I used to for producing videos. Just a couple of semesters left though! I hope to post videos more regularly at that time.
Awesome arrangement!
Fantastic!! Greetings from Belgium
I sold the black and white keyboards over a year ago and I still have the key cheeks, but hoping to get those sold as well.
AMAZING!
Beautiful keydesk! Up to your usual great standards!
nice work!
Just using headphones right now. I do have 6x bookshelf speakers + sub in storage.
Rob, there is sheet music on the stand. Where did you get this sheet music from?
Wonderful!
Fantastic, congratulations, it sounds great !! :-)

Very wonderful playing Mr. Stefanussen..and the arrangement is fantastic....Dying to learn this song....Where can I purchase the sheet music Rob....?
Bravo, great playing of a great piece! Looks like you have some new hardware (i.e. that nice "weathered" 4 manual keyboard?
I too would like to know how you set up your pistons. Thanks!
Anywhere else I can purchase other than sheetmusicplus? No longer available there

Rob, What happened to the Ebony Key checks and the ivory keyboards?
Hello Rob - great performance! Love the keyboards, pedals and your technique is magnificent. Is Dr. Elliott's arrangement published yet? If so, do you know what firm released it and where they are located? Dale G. Rider, Independence, MO
I have been wondering the same thing? I've looked everywhere online for this and haven't been able to find the arrangement.
Also what is your audio setup? Great playing, as usual!
Love the playing! What source did you use for the organ console set up?
Where did you get the sheet music for this? I can’t find this arrangement anywhere.

I just can't hear anything ok!!!!!!
At first glance I thought the ivories were timber.
The manuals look like (very old) Skinner to me...
