FANTASIE Psalm 42 - J. Propitius - PAUL FEY - 'Freu Dich Sehr, O Meine Seele' - Kandelaarkerk Heemse

Some weeks ago I've had the wonderful opportunity to play the great organ of the Kandelaarkerk in Heemse, Netherlands. This organ features wonderful tremulants and a great solo voices and is a perfect instrument for Dutch organ-repertoire!
In this video you will hear a recording of the Fantasie over Psalm 42 (Vers 1-3, 5) written by John Propitius. A 'typical' Dutch composition which should fit instruments like this very well!

If there is anyone today whom one might call "inspired", I believe it is you, Paul. Your passion not just for music and composition, but for the tunes, old and new, shine through each and every piece, each and every masterpiece, of which this is one. Thank you!

[@PaulFey]

I‘m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much 😊

[@gdebergh7875]

It is so true 👍

[@ullinator1388]

Na ja, die niederländischen Organisten wie GvH, J. Propitius und vor allen der unvergessene Jan Klaas Mulder sind die wirklich in Stein gemeisselten Inspirationen unserer Tage. Es gibt einige wirklich gute Organisten und Paul Fey gehört sicherlich auch dazu, aber man sollte da keinen Fan-Kult draus beteiben.

[@mspg2]

Love the tempo Paul - I have never heard it played so slowly - this speed really lets the words come to the fore as a prayer. Marvelous young friend. The development shines forth with clarity with the melody holding its own against that florid accompaniment - and the pedal takes up the melody with such aplomb- and you still have more to give - you never run out of ideas- you truly are a brilliant organist - with humility to match. Lots of best wishes from Australia. Paul of the many pieces that you have played that has given you scope to show your talents this is by far the finest. BRAVO.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Michael!! These Dutch organs really have something special about them too!! 😀

Hello Paul, this is a magnificent interpretation and harmonisation of this Fantaisie. Generaly, I do not appreciate long piece but, here, it is very different with these spectacular 4 parts, all with their beautiful colors and sustained rhythm 😀 I love specialy the Trio (ver 2) and, of course, the Toccata-Finale with your style. Bravo for your wonderful engagement and your brillant execution supported by the beautiful sound recording in this superb Kandelaarkerk, it makes the difference 👍👍👍 Thank you so much dear Paul for your performance 😄 PS: my dream would be to see and to listen to you playing one day......

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Guy! This piece definitely feels like „4“ pieces instead of one large fantasie! I‘m sure that we‘ll manage to arrange that someday!! 😀

[@gdebergh7875]

@@PaulFey you are welcome. In fact, after listening to all the "4" several times, finaly I love each part with their own personality and tones!! Especially March and Toccata with your sustain pedal accompaniment, very spectacular. Encore bravo Paul !

Bravo to this amazing performance. Very moving, absolutely wonderful registration. Thank you Paul Fey. I heard this piece over twenty years ago when I visited Holland on an organ tour and it was wonderful to hear it again, and performed so well. The Dutch organs are amazing and this piece is so well suited. I am comforted that the future of the organ is in good hands.

O thank you so much for this phenomenal recording, Paul. That was a breathtaking performance on a magnificent instrument. The tocatta-finale movement is so majestic, it musically shouts vs 5 of the Psalm: Psalms 42:5 [5] Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation [6] and my God. (ESV) Bravo! Very well played!! 👏

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Jeffrey! He did such a good job adapting the movements to the bible texts! Thank you for watching 😀

[@wmbaak]

Wow, Paul, three times Wow! 🙏🏼 As a Dutch organ player I know this master piece of John Propitius very well. But never ever heard it played like you did in this video. I can't play this arrangement of Psalm 42, it's too difficult to me. So, thank you very much for this recording.

What a great set of variations ! a "tour de force" I love the first variation with the rapidly moving 16th notes in the right hand, and then it just gets better and better.

A truly wonderful composition by John Propitius. As an avid listener and transcriber of his music, i would like to make a suggestion. If you listen to the composers own performance, which is available on KZbin, I believe it would benefit your interpretation. I mean no disrespect, as i quite enjoy much of your music. This is simply a suggestion from someone who has analyzed and performed several of Propitius’ works. Nicely done as always, and I apologize if I was disrespectful in any way.

Hi there Paul. How did you come to the idea to go to this church? I've a holiday home in the near area and coming here since 1979! (I'm 47) I'd played this organ several times in all those years. So I know this organ well. You've done a good.job to play this piece. It's hard to play as well as the composer/ master organist like John! There are several things you might improve. But overall well done.
