This tracklist is fantastic. Thank you very much.

[@penarlag1]

Thanks for the list. I didn't have to wait in fear and trembling for the Nursing Home Hymn (I have heard you calling in the night) or the Crematorium Hymn (Light up the fire and let the flame burn) or Shine Jesus Shine.

I am 83 years old and the Church organist for 51 years. I love your well balanced hymn presentations. Thank you.

[@kurteifert2657]

WONDERFUL!

[@hymnsofworshipsongs5269]

These hymns are tonics to my soul. They refresh my spirit and take me to God's aboard in heaven from the earthly world. God bless those who keep these hymns rolling in the internet in Jesus Christ mighty name

[@lauramoreno7871]

Soy feligres Anglicana ycantamos en coro esos himnos y están muy bien interpretados por usted, me sentí en mi GPO.gracias y bendiciones.

[@codelyokofan1092]

42:34 This combination of stops for the last verse of a hymn is THE BEST IVE HEARD regardless of what hymn it is, an excellent roaring full organ souns where it is so equally rich in higher and lower voices of both reeds , principals etc that i barely can critique it much (and i always find critisism to say). Its perfect atleast in the recording form of it

[@davidmcadams5790]

What beautiful voices on “Praise to the Lord”

[@williamgrant9303]

What a wonderfu colecion of lovely Humns. All my favourites. And a beatiful organ. Thank you very much. God bless you all. William Grand, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@royalayo8456]

[@trevororme4646]

VIRTUAL CHOIR PREMIER: Returned from church this morning too late to catch the magic moment, but thank goodness the VC premier was still available. I am still wiping the tears from my eyes. It was .... well .... words really DO fail me here, it was so beautiful and to see you all pouring your hearts and souls into it was so, so moving. Thank you everyone. Thank you Richard, a PREMIER Premier indeed. Love you all. Tx

[@jerrymartin79]

So well said Trevor. This was a remarkable achievement. Richard's perfection in audio/video mixed with the passion of the whole group.

[@petebaron-krieger3013]

Trevor indeed a GIFT & BLESSING .....and you are a very passionate member of the the VIRTUAL CHURCH FAMILY to me and many,,,,thank you!

[@jennifersarantos9562]

This is some beautiful music! Thank you so much!

[@amazingessence2368]

OMG.. Alleluja from Hyfrydol... goosebumps! goosebumps!😍

[@kayodeakinboro9973]

Grants cathedral music at home,quite moving.Kudos R.M

[@dorothyaddington1983]

This was a MARVELOUS program, and the last hymn, sung by the "CONGREGATION" was INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I just sat is awe and tears listening to it!!!!!!!!!!

[@PaulL66]

The choir sounds terrific! Kudos to all of you and thank you for sharing your gifts of music!

[@zeitler999]

As a good Ol' Lutheran in Wisconsin, USA, this brings joy to my heart, Your music is my office friend . Thank You !

[@bethdudley8563]

0:29:16. Magnificent!

[@238ED]

MAY GOD HOLD ALL OF US IN UNDERSTANDING, FORGIVING ARMS AS WE FORGIVE OTHERS WHO HAVE DONE US HARM.

[@gabriellelee4296]

Tremendously uplifting… so blessed I didn’t miss the exceptional ending… thank you, Richard (& Caroline)!

[@pablochamorrovelasquez3785]

0:29:16 | And did those feet in ancient time (Jerusalem) - That hymn sounds amazing my friend, Saludos desde Chile

[@shirleysullivan4288]

Music sustains and comforts us all - thank you so much.

[@Rollinglenn]

as an organist, I am finding great solace in your videos. Last week we found out our 33 year old daughter has stage 4 colon cancer which has spread to her liver. Her doctors have not much hope for a surgical removal of the cancer at this point. It is hard to think straight or even sit at the keyboard. I too, have a limited setup of Hauptwerk through a Roland digital piano and a sizable stereo for amplification. Thank you for your (and Caroline's) efforts to share the beauty of organ music.

[@caroline.balfour]

Glenn, so sorry to hear this. Best wishes to your family. Richard and Caroline

[@wehopres]

My gosh, that was simply divine!!! Thank you, Richard and Caroline!

[@aariley2]

WOW! Hasn't BIS come a long way in two short years!?!

[@hugecocknballs]

Rather Good!

[@ChristopherDazey]

The choir sounds splendid. I’ve heard a lot of virtual choirs in this pandemic, but this one really stands out.

[@Gladtobeleaving]

Brilliant use of technology, and wonderfully sounding. Thanks.

[@yapproger]

I just listened & watched this tonight Richard it gave me such enjoyment again. Nothing quite like hymns to stir our mental and physical state! Thanks again, ( smoothsilk )

[@catherineolsen1931]

This was amazing. I absolutely LOVED the choir at the end. It was Brilliant ! I hope you so more of them. Amen and Amen 💜

[@wilmagroeneveld8129]

Wow! It was spectaculair! Thank you so much Richard! I really enjoyed it a lot! Almost every hymne you played, I've learned at choir practice in my own country in the Dutch language, so I was singing along, only the last piece I sung in English. Again, thank you very much. Greetz from the Netherlands.

[@theov5590]

Thank you very much for the heavenly music. This music stood the test of time. Contemporary 2liner music disappears as quick as they appear.

[@MrPetfel]

Wonderful in every respect. Conceptually, technically and creatively!

[@easternwind2964]

That's what I've been searching for. Now I can sleep peacefully. Thank you so much.

[@keithdavies6316]

Evening Richard & Caroline McVeigh thank you so much for tonight's hymnes & also the choir who sang the last verse wonderful singing I'm sure they are very proud of themselves thanks for all your hard work goodnight and God Bless

[@sauloabreudesouza4530]

Belíssima apresentação ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@viaScoti]

Many thanks for this, you have all my favorites!

[@jeremyh.1243]

I just love your music!

[@accousticdecay]

I have been down with a snarky post-covid infection for almost a month. Listening in on your older posts and singing along, for I know many hymns. BIS has helped me through this with encouraging, spiritual hymns. God bless you and your team.

[@bosipakpahan6578]

You are The Best

[@alexrieth2022]

Just: WOW!!!

[@aariley2]

You should do this every year.

[@catdaddyglenn9697]

Having grown up singing in the boy's and then the adult choir (bass) all I can say of the virtual choir is: WOW! What a sound. That must have been an editing tour de force.

[@drjurmaxeiner]

Very nice and very British. I guessed as much when A Mighty Fortress/Ein Feste Burg came in the first hymn at only 20. Some of my favorite British hymns were missing (especially Easter), but still Lasst uns erfreuen and Praise to the Lord/Lobe den Herrn, at three and one respectively, would find their place in my top three too with Ein feste Burg.

[@carmenfoster6912]

Richard you were right about the pedal work on oh praise ye the lord simply magnificent. I also remember Caroline singing this hymn, she also did an amazing job!

[@yvesassidenou2703]

Praise to The Lord ! nice to hear...

[@anandveeraraj8043]

Lovely! Thank you.

[@theodoraakuaokyere4196]

Alleluia,Amen

[@davidhamilton1981]

The choir was absolutely fantastic, and huge respect for the painstaking way in which Richard put it all together. In hindsight, I should have contributed! My favourite hymn...Anyway, I'll be sure to send a video next time round. Every blessing this week.

[@haroldbanks9877]

Beautiful music. I am from LA Lutheran Cleric

[@petebaron-krieger3013]

FANTASTIC top 20 and such a blessing the gifts you share and Caroline! Peace & love to you both!!! Indeed a great find to be with you in March 2020 and such a musical ministry you both share!! :-)

[@catherinejacobson5413]

Rhosymedre is a favorite of mine

[@mudgebauer]

All Creatures of our God & King is called Ye watchers and ye holy ones in the 1940 Episcopal hymnal. Its a great hymn, a real toe tapper played in perfect tempo by Maestro Richard. Let all mortal flesh keep silent was the first hymn I ever learned from the 1940 Episcopal Hymnal when Is was a boy singer in the Little Church Around the Corner in NYC. I thought it was very funerial, I still do.

[@steveandersson4024]

I must have listened to this utterly beautiful Bach version of ‘Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott’ close to 500 times soon! Thank you so much for posting it in this sublime version and registration! 🙂

[@kscamm]

I just sent you $55 via PayPal. Keep up your testimony for our Saviour Jesus Christ. Also, love hearing your spouse sing.. To God be the glory!

[@beautyinsound]

Thank you very much - received sadly. Really appreciated Ken!

[@lodewykcoetzee4104]

Richard, thank you so much for these 20 Hymns. Especially "O can it be....." I'm going to play it this Sunday just for the beauty of this melody. My church is only singing the Psalms throug the service, but I use the Hymns before the service start. Believe me, you turn a simple Hymn into a masterpiece. I'm so delighted I found your video's on youtube. Please keep up the good work. Best wishes from South-africa.

[@charlieterry5357]

The Virtual Choir! ....Rather good?! That is putting it mildly I think. It was amazing!! Absolutely brilliant! I certainly admire your efforts, Richard. Well done!

[@sarabriggs1324]

Marvelous and inspiring…thank you!

[@aariley2]

I think you should do a virtual choir every year!

[@alanwhite404]

Brilliant👍

[@nigelthomas7960]

was there anyone ever like Herbert Howells. I'm ashamed to admit to I'm an agnostic, but if Howells didn't get me close to any god then no-one. I had the privilege once of accompanying Col Reg Te Deum +m Jubilate at Lincoln cathedral. He was a towering spiritual as well as musical genius. I also played "sine nomine" - such a deceptively simple inconsequential piece - at 17 at Liv Anglican Cathedral...... haha, but betrayed a man who knew the whole range of the the human soul. Love it!!! Thank you Richard!

[@tomhamp2915]

Am a new Patreon supporter… outstanding channel and presentation…especially appreciate the chapters!

[@tomhamp2915]

Masterful registration!!!

[@PhillipSchlueter]

Of all the 20 I only didn't know 2! HOHO!

[@garytango]

Just brilliant 👍

[@johnpontaoe3637]

The virtual choir arrangement had me break down mumbly weeping = excellent thank you and Happy Fathers Day from Chicago

[@gcatk]

The Virtual Choir was absolutely AMAZING! Maybe when you post that video separately ( or sometime in the future), we can get a listing of who each VC member was. ie. school picture line up.

[@catherinejacobson5413]

Loved this so much!

[@louisglen1653]

Very special! The virtual choir was truly amazing! I appreciate your videos very much!

[@Aeoline]

Well done, Richard. How about a Christmas Special of Carols accompanied by your superb new choir. After all, the way things are going here in England, it might be the ONLY choir we hear this Christmas !

[@mudgebauer]

Sorry I missed your live performance. Im always missing the time. Felicidades from your virtual patreon at Saint Vincent's Home for abandoned doggies, Guadalajara Mexico.

[@michaelaustin7947]

Oh my - Where to begin ... You must be inside my head because you've played SO many of my favorites - fun with some measure of challenge for me to play. Thank you so much for this performance. 5 years ago I bought myself a brand new and rather large Allen Organ for my home and it could never even come close to The Marvelous instrument you are playing (which I'm assuming is a Hauptwerk ? ) -Wonderful ! Wonderful !

[@TomPauls007]

Love this. Into my Fav’s folder. Thanks so much for doing this “sweep.”

[@peterstucky7941]

thank you for these top 20 hymns. I was disappointed that Crown Him with Many Crowns and Praise my Lord the Kintg of Heaven were not among them. So I'll request them here. thanks

[@tomhamp2915]

New Patreon supporter…love your format and inspiration…

[@willsvb5233]

Awesome

[@beverlychase8385]

amen jesus

[@peterkehindemogaji3744]

Nice works and good efforts

[@benedictdsilva3954]

Beautiful sound. This surely must be a pipe organ.. Nice red socks. But shoes would do with a little polish :) .. But anyway enjoyable uplifting organ hymn music..Thank you

[@judieminzer1303]

Just heard A Mighty Fortress is Our God also known as the Lutheran National Anthem.

[@kelvinsmallwood6315]

All top 20 hymns are favourites of mine. Virtual choir is brilliant & maybe even better than a real one. It would be nice if all the hymns could be played with same gusto as intro to last verse of last hymn. Just my opinion and nothing wrong with your playing. Keep it up.

[@markaustin4370]

For hymn playing Fewer mixtures and more 16/8 reeds. It encourages the men to sing

[@janemazzola4454]

Such beauty & praise right here. Thank you for such a blessed evening. WHEN will the BIS Choir appear again? AWESOME!

[@sdokkenisgar]

Excellent to listen to while WFH. Just a note on Welsh pronunciation: Hyfrydol is Huvrudoll. 😀

[@cmtwei9605]

Thine be the Glory doesn't always have an obligatory upward transposition, I never came across that before, not in the hymn book I had anyway. The transposition sounds un-baroque. Thine be the Glory is my top favourite too and your last verse is very effective. I was thinking most of the hymns are rather loud just and possibly causing fatigue before you admitted it, there can be more verses in quieter mood, some just on manuals can be a respite for the ears.

[@DCTOnline]

I came back across this VC while working today, and it was absolutely brilliant! Are there plans for another VC Choir at some stage - this looked like it was fantastic to be a part of! :)

[@thomaslai5303]

May I ask what is the music at the end of the video started at 1:30:18? Thank you sir for your hard work of editing so we could enjoy this music across the globe.

[@namelessone3339]

Prelude on Rhosymedre by Ralph Vaughn Williams

[@thomaslai5303]

Nameless One thank you very much!

[@keithdaly2579]

😅you should make a CD of these hymns

[@monicaflitton2903]

Can't write much. Too busy crying.

[@davidelliott4389]

Such a great programme, Richard! I love your registrations. Please tell me what software you used to make the final choir video. Many thanks, David (Elliott)

I've checked thru the chat at the right and the comments and can't see which sample set you're using. It sounds very pipe-like.

[@angelapearson4367]

Richard, this tune is too complicated to sing at this speed. You need to slow this one down (in my opinion
