Apart from Gert's amazing talent, he must have so much stamina, it is like a gym workout for him! He is so inspiring & brings a new dimension to organ music!
It' the first time I hear the congregation singing with you. It reminded me of my godfather who played the organ in church an we all praised God acompanied by the beautyful sound of the organ. I thank God for you're love for Him! You bless my life 🙌 and you're beautyful wife and son Thomas.
I love when Gert leads congregational singing. He lifts the congregation up and takes them along to his musical/spiritual heights and inspires them to sing with gusto and passion--just like he plays. Well done Gert, well done!
Gurt van Heuf is a wonderful musician. He certainly can bring out everything this magnificent has to offer. It feeds my very soul. He plays the pipe organ so well.
Gert, yesterday, I kept listening to many of your RUclips videos (performances), and I enjoy all of them - starting with Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary. You're so talented, and THANK YOU for sharing your amazing gift! God bless you, Brother Charles Pratt (Charlie)
I guess what I really enjoy about Gert, and I've seen many of his videos, is that he seems to truly enjoy playing. The fresh approach, and the interaction with the assistants, makes these so enjoyable to me. Don't lose this! Thanks Gert for posting all of these for us!
When it comes to accompanying large numbers of people in this way, nothing beats the organ. The piano? The orchestra? The bongo drums and guitars? The electrophonic subsitute? *NO WAY!* A pleasure to see a real professional at work.
What an amazing way you link us to eternity. You play the organ to the fullness of it's capacity, such breadth, depth and richness in the way you play, thanks for a wonderful gift!!
Thanks for your wonderful playing. I especially liked Psalm 68 to the tune by Greiter, dating from the time of the Reformation. There is also an abridged version of this tune (Old 113th or Lucerne) that is sometimes used with "I'll praise my Maker while I've breath." Unfortunately, in the church circles I am familiar with these rich tunes are seldom used. God bless you, Gert, as well as Marjolein and Thomas!
Unbelievable.......he is just an amazing organist!!!!! Wow. ( Three years later I am listening to this amazing artist but now with ear buds.........even more fantastic !!! )
there is a definite tone of spiritually at the root of Gert's interpretation of his organ performance. How very blessed are we to partipate in his gift via the power of the web. I am grateful to have discovered Gert while he is in his twenties ..... looking forward to enjoying Gert's talent. Barnevelt has become a must visit on Sunday's ..... to listen to this remarkable organist in person. Dr. Austin Silicon Valley, CA Oct. 2017
English translation for the above: Gert van Hoef plays the beautiful Steendam organ during a 'Hoogeveen sings' in church building De Opgang in Hoogeveen. He starts with the singing 'Jesus lives in eternity' (revival 71) followed by an improvisation on the song 'like a deer that longs for water', concluding with Psalm 68 verses 1 and 10, again with singing. During the improvisation there is a collection, which can be clearly heard;) Thanks to registrant Gerard Botter
This organ sounds very good. It have a rich tone in the pipes. And as always good playing! You are always using the all off the ranges of the organ you are playing. That's a very good thing to do. Here in Norway it have been complaints on that the organists in churches are playing to simple, and to high notes at all times. Many say they can't sing along because off the high tones the organists are playing the songs in.
He shakes his hand at the end because the amount of stops used (weight) on this tracker organ became a real burden on his wrists. I love the sound of this organ. It is one of my favorites among the ones he plays in his videos.
Gert, I thought it was the checkered shirt and Nike shoes that made you great, but you proved me wrong. You can play beautifully all dressed up too. Thanks also to Gerard for great registration. I follow you too as you are also a fine organist.
Beautiful, as usual, Gert - your talent continues to amaze me! I was especially pleased to hear your improvisation beginning at 4:22. Here in the US, I have often sung this tune with our church choir.as an anthem.
!Feliz Navidad¡ Doble, para vosotros, mamá, papá y nuevo niño...!o niña¡ Dios os ha bendecido. Vuelvo a repetir FELIZ NAVIDAD, FELIZ AÑO NUEVO. De vuestro amigo Manuel (I am, 76 years old. Fom Seville, Spain) Ger todas las interpretaciones tuyas son magnificas, Dios os bendiga, besos al "chiquitin"
Some of these tunes are familiar, and I have sung Psalms set to them in English. It's probably shallow, but I do appreciate that he is wearing a suit. It's nice that his appearance and playing are both sophisticated and composed.
The Radio City Music Hall twin Wurlitzers, Diane Bish at Coral Ridge, Cameron Carpenter, E. Power Biggs, Virgil Fox and now this young man. He's the best of them all. IMHO At his young age, I'd say he can only improve. I'm looking forward to it.
This medley includes, among other pieces, an interpretation of one song I'm quite familiar with: AS THE DEER (Martin Nystrom/arr. Gert van Hoef) Maranatha! Praise Inc., ASCAP which has English lyrics, so I'm not surprised that nobody sang thereon this video. Every area has its own artists and writers of note.
Praise Incorporated, sounds a bit funny. People are here together as shown in this video to praise God, either sung and/or played on the organ. How does your comment and your corporation relate to Matthew 21, Mark 11 en John 2. What is the Right of God to you or to ASCAP? Same question, how is Martin Nystrom's attitude in this matter? Or is this improvisation published at the company mentioned? Kind Regards from Amersfoort, Netherlands, Gert (same name, not the same guy as the artist on the organ)
these organs have such beautiful sound and are magnificent to look at! organs in the U.S.A. {not all of them} just don't sound as good , bigger and more pipes isn't always better.

Nicht nur dass! Sondern sie hat nur Vier Pedal-Register die ES aber Faust Dick in sich haben. Wenn ich an meiner Kirchen Gemeinde denke! 16-Fuss Subbass 8-Fuss Choral-Bass 4-Fuss Oktave und 2-Fuss Prinzipal. Aber keinen von den hat eine Dominanz. Mann muss immer mit Koppel Spielen um über haupt was Bass-Pedal Mäßiges rüber zu bekommen. Lg. Peter
Comment peut on rester insensible à une telle interprétation !!! Bravo Gert
This guy gets cooler and more talented with every video. So young and gifted and now he's a dad and husband making his way in the world! Blessed!
That was wonderful. Our workd is so much better with Gert and his music in it. When he smiles, he just lights the place up. Thank you Gert.
Wunderschöne Orgel, großartig gespielt. Danke.
Fijn om in deze Co onatijd deze ravhtige muziek te mogen horen
Wonderful talented young man...his smile lights him up. X
You two look like you are having so much fun, I am too, listening! BRAVO
Apart from Gert's amazing talent, he must have so much stamina, it is like a gym workout for him! He is so inspiring & brings a new dimension to organ music!
Gert's music is so rich and good!
Beste Gert,
Héél mooi en goed gespeeld.
Gods rijke Zegen toegewenst !
Beautiful as are all of your pieces! You are the You in RUclips organists.
No one can sing like the Dutch! So beautiful. And especially with Gert's accompaniment that is so heavenly.
brilliant playing and as a young organist leading the singing. Doubt many his age can do this.
It' the first time I hear the congregation singing with you. It reminded me of my godfather who played the organ in church an we all praised God acompanied by the beautyful sound of the organ.
I thank God for you're love for Him! You bless my life 🙌 and you're beautyful wife and son Thomas.
I love your music, played from the heart.
Thank u for playing the deer song i really enjoy ur talent u do so wonderfully God really blessed u play. For him to God be the.glory
I love when Gert leads congregational singing. He lifts the congregation up and takes them along to his musical/spiritual heights and inspires them to sing with gusto and passion--just like he plays. Well done Gert, well done!

C'est super beau monsieur Van Hoef. Vos interprétations sont empreintes de votre dynamisme et savoir faire. Bon doigtée. merci!!!!!
I just cannot believe actually signing and Gert playing..... WOW! talk about an uplifting Music feeling and worship experience at the same time! wow!
When it comes to accompanying large numbers of people in this way, nothing beats the organ. The piano? The orchestra? The bongo drums and guitars? The electrophonic subsitute? *NO WAY!* A pleasure to see a real professional at work.
Indeed sir. The organ fills the room, surrounds the singers, and uplifts each person and inspires him or her to sing out.
groot is uw trouw o heer
Love the hymns. This is quickly moving up on my fav list!
What an amazing way you link us to eternity. You play the organ to the fullness of it's capacity, such breadth, depth and richness in the way you play, thanks for a wonderful gift!!
A wonderful crescendo during the hymn. A true inspiration.
Geweldig, Gert wat je hier presteert, ondanks de donkere bewolking! Heb hier diep respect voor!!
You are one of the foremost organists in the world.
Thank you, Gert. You bring me much joy.
Thanks for your wonderful playing. I especially liked Psalm 68 to the tune by Greiter, dating from the time of the Reformation.

I watched it again. And again tears.....
Nice to hear the praise song “As the deer” played on organ with improvization and modulations.
There is nothing I enjoy better than leading the congregation in song. Love you Gert.
Unbelievable.......he is just an amazing organist!!!!! Wow.
( Three years later I am listening to this amazing artist but now with ear buds.........even more fantastic !!! )

Bellissimo, avvolgente, meditativo, ieratico, di una dolcezza infinita. Gert sei sempre il migliore. Complimenti! Ti aspettiamo in Italia!!
I sing bass in the church choir. Top on my bucket list is to sing forth with Gert at the helm! Wonderful to have RUclips presentations to sing with!
I am a fan of yours. You are very gifted!!!
Thank you so much for your pieces...I could listen to them everyday...
Paulo Silva I do.
Splendid. You are a joy to hear and watch. Love the singing also.
still one of my favorites of Gert's.... 6 months of listening to it later.... lol
Wow, love your enthusiasm, just absolutely beautiful!!!
A lovely sounding organ. Great playing as always.

Small organ, awesome pipes. Love your videos, as always little dude. Keep them coming.
Well played,loved it!!!!!!

Als Hoogevener had ik hier graag bij willen zijn. Prachtig.
Maar ja jarig zijn is ook leuk.
Brilliant, Gert
Bravo, GERT!!!!! BRAVO!!!! Play it, brother! woooohooooo!
Met veel plezier en ontroering geluisterd! Prachtig.
Terrific! Thanks.

Mooi gespeeld Vriend Gert van Hoef
Bedankt!
Wspaniałe brzmienie organów,które potrafisz wydobyć z taką lekkością i swobodą.Gert dziękuję i podziwiam.
maravilloso
Sehr schön gespielt, die Orgel hat einen wunderbaren Klang.
...schön? ....bravissimo gespielt!
excellent rendition.splendid performance. is it possible to get a score?would really appreciate it
please if you can, just one time playing in France, we are waiting for you.....
Ho, ho, ho, toontje vooraf? Kootje eraf zegt Hayo Boerema in het boek "De organist in praktijk". (Aanrader).
Maybe someday you could play in Lezajsk-Poland?
these organs have such beautiful sound and are magnificent to look at! organs in the U.S.A. {not all of them} just don't sound as good , bigger and more pipes isn't always better.
What does it do to affect the qualityof the playing or page-turning if the are chewing gum?
Mooi Gert! :D...
Who is your assistant? Also a musician?
prachtig

I really hope RUclips isn,t block this channel because of copyrights of music that Gert playing.
(chuckle) and more good ideas you could give them?
This is RUclips! It's senseless to tell them something.
Weiß jemand, wie das Gesangbuch heißt, dass die dort haben? also bei uns heißt es ja Gotteslob. aber bei denen?
Gute Frage..
jedenfalls haben wir es nicht im Gesangbuch. Weder ev noch kath.
Es ist ein tolles Lied! :) Habe die Chornoten sogar da.
+Thomas Stadler In der Niederlande haben wir nicht ein Gesanbuch aber sehr viele, in 2013 haben wir ein neuen bekommen, wir haben ach noch das Gesangbuch von Johannes de Heer, den Gesangbuch aus 1973, Opwekking in das Evanglische Gesangbuch und noch verschiedene andere
Thomas .....Gotteslob ist das katholische Gesangbuch...... ich meine, Holland ist überwiegend evangelisch......
He seems not so much to command the instrument as to communicate with it.
Von wem ist die Orgel? Schönes Instrument! :) Und klasse gespielt

Looks like your left hand ached after that. It was very intensive!
Prachtig, maar je mag ook in je gewone casual kleding spelen hoor!( toch veel fijner?)
Hoi Gert, Gaaf orgel he?? tis daar net Nederland zingt met de samenzang. Ik speel daar graag :)
Het speelt en zingt daar geweldig, 'k heb er van genoten.
