Come, Sweet Death by J.S. Bach

[@firendrumz]

I have been in love with this piece for over 60 years. I still believe that Virgil Fox did more for organ appreciation than can be imagined,,

[@edwardwilliamson1863]

No question about it. Those are words of truth.

[@mwdiers]

He did, and was despised for doing so. But a new generation of organists is discovering him, thanks be to God.

[@boromir1super]

Even the camera shakes with those bass notes! Incredible!

[@mohtoadh]

3:59 just wow.

[@SternDrive]

This is the first time I have ever seen someone other than Virgil Fox, or Carlo Curly play this classic. It brought the same emotions. I live in a world of Bach. Of course Allen beats all electric organs.

[@qdwre]

what a heavenly piece thank god that we live in a time where we can appreciate js bach

[@Buisness1]

WOW! If anyone remembers or have ever seen photos of the YOUNG Virgil! THIS young g man is IT! Glasses, HAIR and organ posture and movements on this piece. Virgil would approve and be honored.

[@tea-and-guitars]

I had not heard this piece from Bach before, it sounds different from his other works. I find so interesting. A new favorite.

[@thomasstahl9683]

Was für eine wunderbare Harmonie!

[@jippiejee5813]

Prachtige uitvoering. Tranen in mijn ogen. (Wonderful performance. Tears in my eyes!)

[@accousticdecay]

I have good audio and this makes the best of it. What a splendid rendition on such a marvelous organ. Very impressive.

[@williammitchell1864]

Joe Marasco, Fun fact: It's not an actual pipe organ! It's one of Allen organs' digital organs.

[@orlandozentilli9224]

one of the most higest composition in the world

[@TheCLPVideos]

Not since the days of Black Beauty and the Heavy Organ concerts has an electronic instrument sounded so moving in a concert type venue where the instrument was asked to provide such a rich spectrum of sound, and did it in turn deliver that sound so well.

[@spencerchristensen5766]

Absolutely stunning interpretation. Great sounding organ, talented organist, and genius composition. I love this.

[@allenorgansny]

I had the opportunity to hear this new organ with these lush new string samples in person on a recent visit to the factory - while the video sounds wonderful, you simply cant imagine how much better it sounds in person. All I can say is WOW! Great job Aram, playing one of my favorite arrangements of this Bach piece.

[@kenpridham4598]

Simply beautiful!

[@ymusharfi]

I listened to it for the first time ..... I can't belive this one is by Bach 🤯

[@markd.falcone8002]

Magnificent performance. The intimacy of the title is beautifully expressed.

[@catwoman3680]

Wonderfully played one of my favorites. Virgil Fox would have been proud of your performance.

[@ymusharfi]

Best 8 muinets in my life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aocvideo]

The Q475 replaces the Q470. It includes the new string division, as well as some changes to the pedal division. The organ is now 89 stops and has four more audio channels. The specification will be updated on our website shortly.

[@resmarted]

Man those low tones really rumble

[@domenicolucchese1869]

A very beautiful work!!!

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

Omagosh...I'm all teary eye'd now....wow...one of these days I'll master this number, so far, half way and that's as far as I can get....LOVE the top note....absolutely "sweet"....Come Sweet Jesus!...thank you for sharing your God given talent!

[@georgieleejrs8299]

I just heard this piece and wow oh wow big time!! I myself have played this piece many times and love it all the time!!! Have many favorites; this was mind blowing and brings you to tears

[@suzannelebizarre5705]

Had always loved Virgil Fox's arrangement of this! Heard it on the Wannamaker Organ iat Macey's in Philly

[@JJKSeattle]

What a sound!

[@dialectic76]

My favorite part is when they zoom in on "str. exp."

[@jarnasrokhi4966]

Great job man! I wanna cry

[@BritinIsrael]

If you really want to blow your mind listen to this then follow it with the Stokowski transcription. This music was handed down from Heaven to the pen of J S Bach! IMO one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever !

[@allenorgans]

Bravo Aram. Gorgeous playing.....and what an instrument! Congrats AOC!

[@bryceword1768]

What a beautiful console/flight deck!!

[@charleskesner1302]

Great sound.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Aram does a good performance here, Virgil Fox would be proud Aram

[@blk_srt]

Beautiful.

[@Buisness1]

MARVELOUS. NOT since Virgil have I enjoyed this so!

[@RonN448]

Beautiful job, Aram!

[@CharlesEDarko]

This is the best version

[@DanGOlson]

Beautiful!

[@Darstag]

amazing

[@ymusharfi]

Totally agree imagen I hear it for first time ... I can't belive this is by bach !!

[@ceejay3045]

wonderful

[@McGigi666]

incredible sound.

[@Basal89]

I love this organ! wonder+fulll

[@euripidiesupman9755]

The toughest part, in my opinion, is the decrescendo at the end - getting the registration to change smoothly. I still haven't got that figured out.

[@KarenHuseClifton]

bobby hebble thank you for these gorgeous chords.

[@Weezot97]

Robert Hebble was 7 years old when Virgil first recorded this arrangement in 1941 at the Girard College chapel, actually.

[@haruzenay]

amazing and rare

[@XE3iojx]

Beautiful

[@rrjr3504]

Yep, the sound here surely brings back memories of Virgil Fox on the Skinner at Riverside Church in New York. At the end my only anticipation was for Aram to take the 2' plenum up to the mixtures and reeds on those climax measures like Virgil use to do before bringing the full organ back down to a whisper. Nevertheless, I hung on to EVERY note it was so good--tremelos and ALL!

[@JoshuaCaudell]

+RR JR except for the fact that tremulants were also used as well.

[@johanbrand8601]

Can someone help me with the sheet music of Virgil Fox's arrangement, please? It would be much appreciated.

[@pablomar777]

En recuerdo de nuestra querida amiga Cristina Herrera que ha partido ayer

[@funkyorange410]

The Master music of the Dead

[@kenpridham4598]

Does Aram have CD'S available ? just the one of the best

[@BizarreSuzanne]

LOVE this...but have heard Virgil Fox play it SO MUCH slower (on Philly's Wannamaker Organ at Macy's...prefer it like that...just my own feeling...

[@matthewharhai4039]

Wow!!

[@emikoussi14]

Favourite

[@ArronP]

I'm curious why do u need 4 idk what to call them, keyboards to play this??? What's on one row that the others don't have??? Serious question....I have no clue

[@aocvideo]

Arron, you may want to read the portion of this article about Keyboards on organs.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_console

[@Buisness1]

PERFECT! VIRGIL! VIRGIL! VIRGIL!

[@Jono6671]

0:58 :)

[@TIMJONES789]

Wonderful

[@MultiDudek1]

Close your eyes and feel.it stirs the soul My fears are dashed to oblivion. My dreams filled with warmth and love. Of Him who gave so much. Music directly from the heavens written only by Bach.Think of a love one gone from you .

[@aldermanenterpriseinc]

Virgil would have been HONORED!

[@deew6625]

Same strength as Virgil Vox. Wow those strings . No need for reeds .

[@siralone3646]

Grande Joan Sebastian

[@josephstribrny2539]

Fun fact: if you timed the pop star version of the Star Spangled Banner, it would be about just as long as this piece. lol jk. Btw, awesome performance. Loved every bit of it.

[@CrescentMeldoy64]

I hate it when they play it to fast :(

[@Pd46.2]
