I'm currently making a song with an Organ VST in it, learning a bit of differences between what I am used to and what I'm trying out really helps! Thank you!
@@pleightfour You’re welcome. I probably need to make a new video and post it because there’s things I didn’t mention in that video that I have since learned from studying the organ.
I mean everybody is ignorant in one way or another, dont confuse that people are not the ones making you sad but your own perception, good thing is that people is making content like this so everyone can be smarter every day
Bravo! I have been an organist for 50 years, and have never played a note of piano. When I try to explain to people that I do not play piano, they look at me like I am crazy!
Not surprised because there are a few organists who don’t play piano. I don’t have that much of a piano background meaning very minimal. In fact I know a theater organist who is top notch and can take orchestral scores from movies and transcribe it to organ for the stage performance but yet can’t play a single thing on a piano.
Lehr (and other companies) even made 7 Octave Piano cased Reed Organs which have the same range as a Piano you can play it like a Piano but it has that Classic Reed Organ sound
an organ's sound sustains by holding the keys, so it doesn't need the sustain pedal. i'm also the organist at our congregation, though I don't play half as good as you! we have a beautiful digital church organ with a full set of pedals. I still have a lot to learn and hopefully I'd play as well as you do some day! Thanks for the great video, God bless!
Riaan Brits Thank You for your kind comments!! Just keep practicing and you will be very good!! I highly encourage it because there are not enough organists around, and it's important to keep the music alive!!!
Michael Waters I most certainly will! Our congregation did not have an organist for some six years until I moved into town! Because I love music and I adore the organ, I love doing it. I cannot play piano, though I love the sound of a piano (I play cords and melody only). At our old church hall I had a single manual digital organ with only a volume pedal and later a electronic keyboard (terible organ sound!). We recently bought a new church hall with a beautiful dutch made church organ and I simply love it! My goal is to play Händel's Largo on it someday and that will require A LOT of practice! it does not sound as great as the pipe organ that you play, but it has great sound nonetheless. Thanks for your encouragement, hopefully someday I will add a video of myself playing that particular piece, or even one of my favorite hymns or choir pieces! All the best.
would LOVE to hear you play Amazing Grace! that song was also played at my mom's funeral and means the world to me as she sang it to me when I was growing up :'-( I lost her to ALS jan 21st 2016
Most organ players get tired playing the piano because the keys are weighted. Imagine playing shouting music on a piano. Way harder on a piano. The piano is the mother of all instruments, not the organ.
@@Kush333 playing the piano is alot more simple, half the work.!! people who can play the organ can play the piano alot easier, then someone who starts off playing the piano first, eventho the piano is a more popular and easier route to take
@@quinncole8122 you definitely have a point. Tried playing the organ and like you said, it was a hard transition. Playing certain genries of music like classical and boogie woogie on the organ just wont sound as magnificent like it does on the piano. Remember, the piano it the mother of all instruments.
When it comes to hymns out of the hymnal yes the sheet music is the same. The bass notes are played on the pedals. Sometimes classical music will do that too and it would indicated in the music whether to play those bottom notes in the pedals or not. Often most classical music and a wide variety of hymn arrangements will have 3 staves and the lower staff will be the pedals. Hope this helps answer your question.
When you got to the organ we could hardly hear a word you said. It's almost as if you forgot you were recording. Would love to hear what you had to say but it was too difficult.
Are you a native English speaker? Cause I almost never can understand spoken English, despiste I understand a bit the written English. I am impressed how much I am getting your words. I always had the sensation native English speakers are harder to understand than, for example, Spanish or Japanese people speaking English.
@@1watersthree when I hear a Japanese or a German speaking English, it seems easier to me to understand than when I hear an American or English doing it. LOL I don't know how to explain the reason. It's just an impression I use to have. XD And, as you can see, I poorly can write in English. I learnt a little having direct contact with the language on the internet.
@@1watersthree the fact I am urdestanding very well your words in this video made me guess you were not a native speaker, due to the reasons I mentioned above. XD
Carlos Eduardo Nascimento Gomes I understand after you’ve explained it. I have a hard time understanding other ethnic groups like German, French, Japanese, etc. speaking English also.
You're wearing your organ shoes on granite flooring, And you don't want to do that because you have felt soles and when you walk on, granite, tile, stone flooring, you ruin the felt. You only want to walk on carpeted flooring when you have your organ shoes on that way it protects the sensitivity of the felt soles, You want to protect the felt soles On your Oregon shoes for a reason and that reason being in case you have to change from one pedal to the next, and especially if the peace that you're playing requires that you play a few glissandos or gliding from one pedal to the next, whether you're gliding up the pedals or gliding down the pedals.
Thank you for pointing out comparing organ vs piano is very much like apples vs oranges. The hymn sounded something like a kid would learn on his first day on piano. Yet, I did not know what the organ's thing was about so I kept watching. Clearly organ pieces are not meant for piano, not because they are ridiculously easy, but they are right at their home when played on the organ. From now on, I will consider playing the likes of this hymn on piano as much sinful as playing maple leaf rag on a church organ. One last thing, I very much recommend you to quit using sustain pedal on piano when you perform, you are more than capable (more capable than me, thats for sure) of connecting the notes on piano without muddying the entire song like in this video; that pedal is only needed when connecting large gaps of notes, most prominent use is probably in ragtime where left hand constantly jumps? I just know that sustain pedal is meant to be used in short bursts and finesse for that kind of connenction. edit: yes, in maple leaf rag, I found myself constantly hammering the pedal just enough to prolong the bass notes enough to last but not bleed over. Organ looks really scary without sustain being available on demand. Mad props to organ players.
interesting video, as a follower of Jesus & musician myself , I was keen to hear your ideas about music & eternity, You said Plillipians 4 , 20, 21, actually Chapter 3 , 20,21. Which I am eagerly awaiting , so that I can praise Jesus without all the imperfections this body makes. God Bless You ,
The organ ( pipe) has been around much longer than the piano. And of course a large five manual organ with the 32' or 64' pipe would simply blow a grand or any piano away. The organ has a greater and more powerful range from down below 20hz to 20khz and can produce an ear splitting volume.
The reason why you are forgetting what you are trying to say is because you are scripted, you are trying to remember and follow what you memorized, that is what makes you a horrible speaker. If you know what you're explaining you dont need to memorize scripts, just go and explain and express, in that way you'll be more natural and clearer
I feel the Holy Spirit when you play. God bless you my brother.
Thanks so much. I enjoy playing for the joy of the Lord!
Thank you for this video. I've been trying to figure out the difference between the two.
Ricky Upell Your Welcome!! Glad I could answer at least most of the common questions heard all the time by a lot of people.
I am an enthusiastic amateur organist.
@@claireforestgreenorgangeek6578 I hope you are a pro now
Very clearly explained, and you're lucky to be able to play on such a magnificent instrument. Your passion for your job is obvious.
Good job, bible reading was a nice touch
I randomly looked this topic up while looking at hans zimmer vids about the interstellar theme and organs...also nice natural reverb going on (echo)
Thanks, Michael. Started my organ journey this year.
By the way, your playing is pleasing to listen.
Carlos Eduardo Nascimento Gomes Thanks ever so much
9:34 I want to learn how to play the organ one day
Do it. Only you are stopping yourself from it
5:21 he is gone
I mean that....
He's nervous, but you can tell how much he loves what he does.
Praise the Lord Bro. Good explanation.
9:34 This is beautiful to listen

Good?
I've been waiting for this kind of vidio.

Thanks so much
The organ that is shown is a pipe organ. There also Pipe organ.
Theatre organs, Ellectric organs, Hammond organs, Allen organs Reed organ.
Nathan Wilkerson human internal organ😂🤣
@@rosenellemongaya8008 🤣🤣
With Reed Organs you can control the volume by how hard you pump the Pedals so it's a very expressive instrument
thank you michael
Me: I play piano
My uncle: hey how's your organ playing going on.
Me:🙃🤨
So are the rows of keys all just octaves up or different sounds?
It’s different sounds

IAMdevilwomen my favorite tune, *above all else, sacred and secular alike* is FOREST GREEN by Rafe Vaughan Williams.
I am sorry for u
Interesting. Would you say that it's possible to play piano music on an organ?
method
Have fun with jesus
Since the organ is way more complex if u can play it you can deffintley play the piano, it's literaly a step down then it's the keyboard after that

@@Kush333 organ is more complex,
@@quinncole8122 true organ is more complex. But it also has a transpose key. Piano doesnt.

I almost bought a used organ thinking piano and organ are the same thanks for the video
You should have bought the organ and began learning to play.
So, the playing technique is different, but are the sheet music/ notation interchangeable between the organ and piano? Thank you.
When it comes to hymns out of the hymnal yes the sheet music is the same. The bass notes are played on the pedals. Sometimes classical music will do that too and it would indicated in the music whether to play those bottom notes in the pedals or not.

im going on organ practice with a viscount domus 830
When you got to the organ we could hardly hear a word you said. It's almost as if you forgot you were recording. Would love to hear what you had to say but it was too difficult.
There are Organs that have the same range as a Piano with 88 Keys but those are Rare.
❤️
thanks. by the way i dont have a lot of money. my contempo 80 speakers are busted. what speakers should l use?
trudy bergen Unfortunately I don’t know enough about speakers to know what type.

Tell that to Amosdoll Music, because they called an Organ as a Piano (Pianos are Never Animated Correctly).

The organ Beats. The. Piano. To. A. Frazzle!
*MORE RESONANT*
Claire ForestGreenOrganGeek Dixon Absolutely!!! That’s the short answer as to how I got into the Organ to begin with!!!
Sorry but the piano is far superior to me, but I respect your opinion.
In conclusion... You CAN play the organ if you can play the piano 😂
Not even close to true. That’s a common misconception which is why I did this demonstration video.
@@1watersthree it's not entirely true but it's very close to true.
I really wish I had transitioned to pipe organ rather than continuing with piano!
There are 108 Key Pianos
Churches being able to afford an organ is how I know they are corrupt 😂
lets go waters
amen!
Why does the organ sound so scary? lol
There is a video by the RUclips channel "sideways" called "why pipe organs sound scary" which explains just that
