Doug Marshall plays "Now Thank We All Our God" by J.S. Bach, arr. by Virgil Fox

[@philipnelson2832]

Cannot thank Doug Marshall enough for his honoring of his teacher Virgil Fox by continuing to play influenced by his style! "Now Thank We All Our God" is one of my best loved hymns and hearing Doug play Fox's arrangement gives me great respect for all who study and play the organ. "The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the Glory of God and the refreshment of the soul". Johann Sebastian Bach

I'm so glad we have someone like you to continue Virgil Fox's style of playing. It is also great to read that you have a student being brought along in the same way.

Lovely rendition, and at the dignified tempo that Mr. Fox intended. So often people make it sound like something from a carnival.

[@mikekoster9]

Absolutely Awesome. Doug not only can you play like no one before you " Well you and Virgil" you brought back the Aeolion Skinner organ in a digital form. Thank you very very much

[@PeterRabbit000]

So, so beautiful and uplifting! Here’s to Virgil for all the happiness he brought to the world of music lovers. And here’s to you, Doug, for playing, producing, and posting this.

Lovely playing - love the voicing of this instrument. Is it available for purchase?

[@organpower]

This organ is now permanently installed at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Brookline, MA. We can build you one though! :)

[@ellenharold5191]

This is a nice rendition, but the hymn was composed by Mendelssohn not Bach. In the St Thomas Church in Leipzig there are plaques to both Bach and Mendelssohn, both Leipzig residents.

[@organpower]

Actually, the hymn tune predates both Bach and Mendelssohn, being written in 1636. Mendelssohn did write a well known harmonization of the hymn in the 1800's. However, the inspiration for this organ arrangement is definitely Bach, emulating his Cantata no. 79, written in 1725: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omXOkpemr9OCnsUsi=RKN1zH3FwNewIuol&t=512.

@@organpower You are right. I was going to delete my comment, when I found out more. It is sometimes attributed to Bach and Mendelssohn, I guess.
