@JoshMcNabb sure... an American composer writing an arrangement on a Welsh hymn tune, played by a Canadian of Dutch descent on an organ built by a Canadian of German heritage in a church of Scottish Presbyterian heritage. 🤩
@@jv04jm That's awesome!! I find tunes originating from Wales have something special about them, including some pretty phenomenal harmonies. Calon Lân, Cwm Rhondda, Rachie, and In Memoriam are notable examples. Keep up the great posts!
One thing I believe has harmed the art of organ playing has been the indifference and arrogance of those close to the instrument. As a music director, I always left the console unlocked and open so children could walt up and touch it, to help them develop an interest. I have been at churches where the church council had to approve anyone even playing the thing. Hey folks! Wake up! It is a musical instrument. Then there are the thousands of non-players who believe they are music critics....
A marvelous arrangement and presentation. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Robert! It is indeed! 🤩

Awful rendition. I couldn't hear the hymn at all.
You may need to listen a little more closely beginning at 0:42. 😉
Wow! Because YOU couldn't hear the hymn, that somehow makes it an awful rendition by someone else?
