Christmas Hymns on the Allen Organ

[@karenpanslerlam7760]

We must never forget these glorious Christmas hymns that have blessed so many from age to age. Wishing you a holy and joyous Christmas!

[@patrickfreeman4135]

Great Music, I be playing Music today for my closest friends, I love the Allen organ. Top Organ sound.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Just not the same around here without this video playing at Christmas!!

[@rogergroot8199]

Thanks Michael for these wonderful Christmas songs,I have a YAMAHA ELECTON organ but have only one octave of foot pedals.I play almost every night and because we know the words to many of the old hymns I have been singing for 82 years it is a form of worship for me.I enjoy modulating from one key to another as I play by ear.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

the chimes!!!! awesome addition to already magnificent playing!

[@melclo3641]

Nothing casual about it, it's excellent, going to play christmas morning, thank you.

[@kellytaylor2969]

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@yegscaper6444]

My grandparents had an Allen organ as well. Beautiful settings and playing

[@rd3117]

Thank you for your home concert on the Allen organ. Both the festive setting and the carols were quite enjoyable. The selections would make a nice prelude for a Christmas Eve church service!

[@WoodJack99]

Beautiful playing! Organ sounds great, and I just love the setting too.

[@purebrawn5208]

Makes me sick that there is only 29k views in three. I expected 29M

[@jerrybrueggemann3592]

Thanks for sharing loved your playing and the selection of stops.

Thank you for brightening our home this Blessed Christmas Season.

[@robertharrison9161]

Michael, I can't tell you how much joy your playing, and the warmth of your surroundings, have brought me. I have been listening to you, in a loop, since yesterday. I spent 18 years here, in Oakland, hearing a great organist at my church play the finest literature,, with immaculate musicianship. He was a treasured student of the legendary organist Richard Purvis. Three years ago, my friend passed on, and there has been a big hole in all our hearts, and a great void in the congregation he served for 40 years. Now, the organ is still. Your beautiful playing has revived me, and brought me into the Spirit of Christmas! Thank you so very much. Have a wonderful celebration. Rob, from Oakland, CA.

[@ruthgoebel723]

Beautiful registration!! I have an Allen as well. I love the traditional Christmas hymns.❤️

Organ and Christmas are my most favorite music 😍

[@davidbus159]

Dude. That’s an awesome Allen. In your home! And you do it justice! Thank you so much for posting that!

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

It's year 3 of these fabulous hymns, played so expertly by Michael ! Thank you, Michael, for posting this video, it's truly great!

[@charlesarnold8337]

Allen organs are this finest in the whole world No others can compare!

[@vijayarul3373]

Beautiful. Thanks 🙏

[@twofoottaylor1]

Michael, I absolutely love Christmas carols, and I've never heard you play before, you are a magnificent organist and musician, I thoroughly enjoyed each and every piece you played. Your organ sounds fantastic. Thank you so much for recording these carols and sharing them on KZbin. You sure added to my Christmas even though it was a while ago that you recorded this video.

[@andrewwalsh4798]

Very nice playing of the carols in a lovely setting. Merry Christmas 2021. Thanks.

That was beautiful Michael!! BTW, Love the natural wood finish in the house!!!

[@pauljohnson4871]

This is lovely and a great organ

[@garyg6000]

Enjoyed it very much. Thank you, Michael !

[@NorfolkSouthern-xt3xx]

Your organ sounds REALLY nice! I LOVE the tremulants,...they sounded wonderful,...WAY better than that thick sounding tremolo of a Leslie speaker! I haven't found an organ yet,...but I'm hoping to find something like an ADC-2140.2160,or 3160 with external cabinets. I could also make do with an 1140 with built-in speakers!

[@mimiphuongdo]

THANH YOU VERY MUCH- i have been looking for.. MAY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU AND YOURS

Excellent!

[@freddietrich825]

Just wonderful, many thanks Happy Christmas to you

[@michaelcowan2334]

How beautiful!! I’m so jealous of your at home instrument! My church has a thirty year old Galanti. In my two years as organist I’ve never been able to get it to sound this good!

[@mitzibenfield2477]

Awesome!

[@Bigbird1ist]

What wrong notes? Awesome job...Blessings on You

[@euphrates556]

Played the way it should be.

[@enchamade8]

I so enjoyed your beautiful music. May I ask what solo reeds you were using? I have a C12C with Allen Ensemble. There are two presence projector speakers and internals. Unfortunately, there is not enough space for larger external speakers.

[@MichaelLinke89]

Sorry for the delay, just looking at these videos again. The red is the Bugle from the Midi Division II. It's a very nice solo Reed not that harsh.

[@diannejames5101]

Beautiful!

[@ggolds5]

Beautiful, and love the setting in your house. What state do you live in ?. Happy New YEAR!!!!

[@MichaelLinke89]

Thank you, this is from our cabin in the Adirondacks (upstate NY).

[@ggolds5]

@@MichaelLinke89 Hi Michael, We had relatives in Wilmington. I remember going there when I was little. Lake George also, although only twice there. I was born in Manhattan. Your place looks so cozy. When people come over our house they see the Conn 650 and say, "you don't look like people that would have a large organ in your house". What does that mean?. I guess it's not so cool anymore like it once was when my grandparents had one. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah, whatever, and a wonderful New Year Ahead.

[@josemacadams2823]

¿ Es posible publiquen los títulos de este repertorio tan especial ?

[@ryanferrigan8122]

The sound of that organ is incredible!! How many speakers do you have? Are all of them attached to the console?

[@MichaelLinke89]

Sorry for the late reply just looking at these videos again. The organ has internal speakers (turned down) and 4 HC-15 external speakers plus a bass channel with a B20 subwoofer.

[@masento4679]

Could I trouble you for the source of the sheet music for these pieces? Particularly the arrangement of O Come All Ye Faithful?

[@MichaelLinke89]

The O come all ye faithful is the David Willcocks arrangement.

[@masento4679]

@@MichaelLinke89 Thank you! I've heard that arrangement many times but was never able to find a source. Thank you for your beautiful music.

[@michaelkemp1294]

The Willcocks arrangement is most likely published by Oxford University Press. Any good music retailer should have it.

[@josephgalla8562]

Hi Michael Man you sound really Great on your Allen Pipe Organ, I used to play Organ a long time ago at a Small Catholic Church but I had to give it up because it was way out of my jurisdiction, Do you play organ at Church? Thank you for making me feel better and Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year, Thanks for Sharing Joseph.

[@runnermcleod4028]

how old is that organ. id love to buy one

[@MichaelLinke89]

Hello, that was a 2000 Allen Protege AP-15. I now have a 2001 Allen Renaissance R-280

[@runnermcleod4028]

@@MichaelLinke89 Thanks buddy. i always wanted to learn how to play one but people tell me you are required to learn piano firs.

[@davidbus159]

What series is your Allen?

[@MichaelLinke89]

It is a protege with Renissance tone generation from 2001

[@MagicalDrummer1]

Beautiful!! How long have you been playing?!

[@MichaelLinke89]

Thank you Danny, I have been playing for probably 15 years. I just do it as a hobby, I always enjoyed hearing the organ at church. Thanks for watching

[@MagicalDrummer1]

@@MichaelLinke89 I’ve been playing 16 years! You have such a beautiful warm home! Love the Set up. I put this on the big speakers and decorated to it!! :) hope to hear more! Take care!

[@pauljosephus697]

Stocking Feet?

[@AASparkChaser]

Of course! That is the way I was taught. Shoes deaden the sensitivity of your feet and make it more difficult to find the correct pedal.

[@NorfolkSouthern-xt3xx]

That's why it's called practice,...there will be wrong notes!

[@rob1978]

What model is this organ…it sounds great. I wanted a two manual Allen 217 theater organ…..$52,000!!!!!😱 This organ sounds wonderful!

[@Jack-eo5fn]

I’m guessing you’re a church organist because you know to play for real hymn singing. Thanks and thanks🙏

[@percyman7925]

What model...is it an AP 4

[@MichaelLinke89]

It's an AP-15 it has a nice specification. And it's on 3 channels with 5 cabinets.

[@percyman7925]

U have 5 speakers attached in your home?

[@percyman7925]

I am looking at an AP 4 for sale..as a home organ.

[@MichaelLinke89]

@@percyman7925 yes! I have 2 Allen M5 amplifiers hooked up to 4 big HC-14 speakers and a B40 subwoofer on channel 3. It is voiced for the home but is definitely not underpowered. The AP 4 is a nice model full size pedalboard.. I had a C6C once which is similar to the AP4

[@percyman7925]

I live in an apt...so cabinets would have to be down the line...my neighbors would not like the noise.

[@rodneypainter4664]

It’s still not a Hammond

Organ technology has come a long way since the homogenized sound of that instrument. You play well thanks.
