Hello Jerry, your music touched me very much, the majesty of the organ comes out really well here, no other instrument can touch the soul with this power and energy. You also added beautiful pictures. Thank you for that and best regards, Roland
Wow. This music is so moving!!! What a majestic sound that touches the soul so much. I guess it's like that for you too, if this song connects you so much to your homeland. I will listen to it several more times. Thank you very much, Jerry!
Thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate that Markus - and yes indeed, there is something just wonderfully haunting about this melody that really does connect me home!
Truly lovely Jerry. A sensitive musically interpreted beautiful performance of a piece whose sonority, harmonic and strong but not over stated melodic lines continually rolls in like the inexorable waves of the sea. Loving the balance of Irish and Abbey views with that of you at your console in your home. Thank you so much for ‘selling’ this piece to those who hear/watch this.
A lovely, atmospheric piece, Jerry, and a great arrangement, beautifully played. It was also great to see the footage of Corcomroe and surrounds. My great great grandparents were Irish, and there's something about the Irish countryside that always strikes a chord within me. Thanks for uploading this.😀
Jerry this is a superb recording of a really special piece. I love the way that you have put the film together going between the images of Corcomroe Abbey, the Irish coastline, and your good self at the console. It's a great choice of stops and the sounds which you have created really appeal to me. Thank you so much for sharing it. Kind regards David.
Thank you, Jerry, for another superb presentation, perfect music, registration, and organ selection. You make Alessandria sing with the heart of the Highlands. When those bottom reeds joined in, I thought I felt Heaven smile at the amazing grace of this music :)
With a lot of feeling and incredibly atmospheric, this version of Highland Cathedral mesmerizes. When the bride marches in, however, many people want the short version of the original at the wedding. The Corcomroe is a beautiful place, Did an organ play within these walls in the olden days? What do you think, Jerry?
Thank you very much 😊 I really appreciate that!! i can also see why this would be popular at church. You know, you ask a great question about whether or not there was an organ there - it is certainly possible - the abbey would have been active into the 1800s at least I would imagine. It's a lovely thought!
Thank you very much Jonathan! It really is a wonderful sampleset and this arrangement had lots of opportunity to try different colours and of course crescendo.... 😊
@@jerrymartin79 I'd say you took great advantage of all the sample set had to offer this piece! Ever since I heard the Royal Scots Dragoon Guard play a bagpipe/orchestral rendition of this piece, I've been hooked on it. Glad to make your rendition my new favorite!
After I saw that, I realized that I actually missed this piece of yours. Very nicely played; but that was to be expected from you! Greetings from Munich!
A stunning performance, Jerry, of this Charles Callahan arrangement of 'Highland Cathedral': bravo! I So very musical. Beautifully registered and shaped. Deeply affecting. Indeed, stunning is no overstatement. I have the Alessandria sample set, but I have not managed to make my audio match the magnificent sounds I just heard in this recording (I need some tips from you as to how to best configure the audio!). Your videography is absolutely glorious and makes for a visual as well as an aural feast. You are so professional as a musician and an upload editor . . . a very hard act to follow!
Thank you so very very much Graham! Your kind words mean so much to me - finding the 'soul' of a piece of music is important to me, and this one really touches the heart!
I'm not gonna lie... Every Reformation Sunday, I hear it with bagpipe.... and I just don't like it... BUT this is beautiful!! I really want to play this too. Thanks for saving me from a 'hate relationship' with this piece!
Oh this makes me smile - I'm so glad to hear this. I love Charles Callahan's arrangements (and recordings) - and he really made this something that an organist can love to play!
Aah - Scottish treats via German composers and Irish friends! Love it!
Thank you so much 😊 Our international world!!!
Absolutely delightful performance Jerry, thank you so much for sharing 🙏🙏🎶🎶
I appreciate it 😊 Thank you for dropping by - glad you enjoyed this!!!
Really enjoyed listening to this Sunday morning here in New Zealand. Loved the photos. Blessings 🙏🙏
Thanks so much Diane! Best wishes to you!
Much cinematic! Much crescendo! Love it. Thanks so much for recording it.
Thank you James! Appreciated 🥰
Jerry, Wonderful performance, as usual! Great organist, great arrangement, and a great piece! Best, Phil
Thank you so very much Philip - and thank YOU for introducing this wonderful arrangement to me - a true joy to play!
Beautiful, thoughtful and wonderfully presented. Thank you Jerry.☘🐻
Thank you so much 😊
This tune will always get a thumbs up from me particularly when it's played as well as this. Nicely done. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Many thanks! I appreciate that!

As the advert for Bernard Matthews’ turkey used to say (in my native Norfolk, England, dialect) “Simply bootifull”. Thank you.
Thank you very very much Andrew!
This beautiful music and beautiful video make me yearn for an Ireland trip even more! Thanks, Jerry! 🇮🇪
Thanks Phil 😊

Very nice, Jerry! The acoustics of Alessandria really adds to the atmosphere of this piece. Thanks.

and the video is really beautiful.
Thank you so much 😊 I'm so glad to hear that it is a favorite and that you enjoyed this!
Thank you so much, Jerry! This is a beautiful arrangement and a truly musical rendition with fantastic registrations! And beautiful videography, too!
Thank you so much Orgelhase - it really is a wonderful tune and I can see why it is so inspirational for so many.

Thank you very much David! I am glad you enjoyed it and thank you for taking a moment to say hi 😊 I appreciate it!
Splendid performance, Jerry - love the growl of the tutti when it enters too!
Thank you so much 😊 Best wishes John!

Thank you so much Brooks - it really is a great arrangement - I was late to discover Charles Callahan - he's an amazing player and arranger/composer!
that was great, the building up from this lovely piece and the places you have filmed. I enjoyed it Bravo Jerry
Thank you so much Gerda! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed that, and very much appreciate you dropping by! Have a wonderful week 🥰

Well played Jerry ! Bravo, it's a lovely piece ! Merry sunday to you
Thank you so very much Remi!
Beautiful Jerry! That’s long ago that you published something with Alessandria!
Thank you so much 😊 I'm really enjoying Alessandria again - thank YOU for showcasing what it can do!
That was gorgeous!!! Very tasteful registration; love that pedal!
Thank you very much Jonathan! It really is a wonderful sampleset and this arrangement had lots of opportunity to try different colours and of course crescendo.... 😊

Thank you, that was wonderful! Well played, Jerry! And the sampleset is sounding amazing even through my small speakers here.
I am so glad you enjoyed this - thank you!
@@jerrymartin79 Yes, & I'm certainly looking forward to hearing some of your others!
This is a very beautiful rendition of this song, chapeau

Nice. I'd like to have your set-up. I think on this recording however the pedal is drowning out a lot of the melody.
