Improvisatie over het lied 'Dankt dankt nu allen God'

website www.gertvanhoef....
Orgelspelen op het Rudolf Knoll-orgel in Hasselt.
Na afloop, speelt Gert van Hoef een improvisatie over het lied 'Dankt, dankt nu allen God'.
Het is een ter plekke verzonnen improvisatie, waar duidelijk invloeden van Jan Zwart en Feike Asma over dit lied te horen zijn.
Leuk aspect aan dit filmpje is, dat je kunt zien hoe deze improvisatie ontstaat.
Voor vele buitenlandse luisteraars is het gesproken gedeelte Engels ondertiteld.
Veel luisterplezier!
Playing at the Rudolf Knoll-organ in Hasselt.
At the end, Gert van Hoef plays this improvisation on the song 'Now thanks we all our God'.
That means: All improvised by himself playing it for the first time in his life. You can hear influences of Jan Zwart and Feike Asma in the song.
Nice aspect about this video is the preperation of the improvisation.
For the foreign people among us, there are subtitles for the spoken part.
Enjoy!

So ein Talent zu sehen und zu hören, das löst in mir große Resonanz aus. Gleich beginne ich neu "ermächtigt" zu improvisieren. Mega Dank.

[@itzdaantjuh9183]

De beginjaren, geweldig zo onbevangen en mooi dat de jongens hem zo bij staan en de trotse man daarachter die volop geniet. Mijn Pa zou dit geweldig gevonden hebben.

[@555were]

Oh, a miracle, Geert started talking!!! It is pleasant to hear live speech of the live musician)))

[@Leoorganlover]

Inderdaad bijzonder mooi. De organist en het orgel jubelen tot de eer van God. Groeten vanuit Western Australia.

[@robert5140]

Third time I have watched this performance. Simply a great improvisation, leaving no dust in the pipes that is a given.

[@panlomito]

Goosebumps and tearfull eyes of happiness, so beautiful... I think this sounds to me like dancing through tonalities and rhythms. Edit: 4 years later still gushing tears while listening to this improvisation. I learned it's heavily based on the Fantasie of Jan Zwart, but this version goes further... what an artist!

[@Jeff-xi9xt]

Gert, my dad used to pump the organ at the local chapel when he was a boy, and if he didn't pump fast enough he would get punished. I wonder how he would keep up with you playing...... God bless you Gert and keep you humble. Remember you have a special gift from God, always remember to give the glory all to Him.

[@klaasevertklaasevert254]

Ontroerend mooi,ik beluister je nu al een paar maanden,iedere keer ga ik naar dit lied,

[@russellaallebaughjr1364]

the gentlemen is right, talented, only i would add, extremely talented, he played that from memory and could have played a different version as well, as i said extremely talented, and as others have stated it was nice to hear him speak and to have a discourse with others on his playing, keep em coming gert

[@sebastienfrioux3699]

it's not played from memory, I think, it is said it is an improvisation......

[@philrobinson1877]

To ad lib on the comments of Virgil Fox, Purists think that their way is the only way, and critics love to talk about it because they can't do it!! Not since Mr. Fox's passing in 1980, has there been any organist who has had the guts and gumption to get in front of audiences and show off the amazing capabilities of the King of Instruments and the magnificent classic music that can come from it! Add to all of that, the wonderful talent of this young man and you have the ingredients for the next great organist of the 21st. century!! Gert, to you I say this. . . . You have the talent, the passion, and the personality to take the pipe organ to places where it has never been before! Take those wonderful attributes to all the world. Re-introduce the power of the pipe organ and the music that comes from it to all who want to hear you! North and South America, the Orient, and Australia are waiting to see you in concert!! This is YOUR time! Take hold of these opportunities and make the most of them! May God grant you the courage and ambition to take up where Mr. Fox left off. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing the name of Gert van Hoef on the marquis of many concert halls in America, very soon! And to all of the Naysayers & Critics I say. . . . Get a Grip!! P. Robinson

[@capacityplus]

Well said Phil. Looking at the average age of the people around the organ, I think Gert is making the pipe organ cool again.

[@mariforever1863]

Phil Robinson YOU ARE 100% right.

[@mariforever1863]

God bless you Gert van Hoef, you are a gifted young man, a genius. I play the organ too haha in church but not 1/1000000000th as you do. I bought all your CDs in digital form so I listen to you each day on my iphone. However I love coming on KZbin to watch you play, makes my heart burst as you play exactly what I love hearing. In no time at all your star is going to shine ALL OVER THE WORLD. ❤️❤️❤️

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Another overblown American critique (why are these people so consistently overwhelmingly positive or negative?), yet still, Gert Van Hoef is fantastically skilled and I'd love it if he could organize a worldwide concert season. Unfortunately, the problem with classical pipe organ music is that it's of limited appeal to a world obsessed by ephemeral trivial people like the Kardashians. They make millions while people like Gert I would imagine would have to work extremely hard for every euro/dollar, and so it's sadly probably unrealistic to hope he could do a world-wide profitable tour. The only person who comes close to being able to do this is Cameron Carpenter who has adopted an over-the-top carnival act to go with this performances. He's successful, and an extremely skilled organist, but IMHO as annoying as hell with his diamond-encrusted everything, and his weird 'muscly' overexposed look which just looks kinda creepy. He should wear more clothing (less Liberace, more 'ordinary'), not less, and let his music speak for itself rather than turn every performance into a Liberace-inspired circus. But then again, if he wasn't channeling Liberace's bizarre and dated act, he probably wouldn't be as successful as he is.

[@leninha5549]

DIT is nu orgelspelen vanuit je hart en ziel...Je zult nog heel wat mensen ontroeren en blijmaken....hoop nog heel veel van je te horen...je bent briljant !!

[@daveerrickson271]

My theory is that all those who vote thumbs down must be other organist who realize that they will never be able to play anything even close to the level of Gert.....and this is how they think they are elevating their own status. It should be obvious to anyone who listens that Gert has been given a very special gift.....it comes thru on everything he plays and he could stand on his head and play with his feet and still be way better than the jealous people who give the thumbs down...

[@capacityplus]

LOL. I usually check the uploads from a negative commentator and often find 'This channel has no content'. Gert is my favourite organist.

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

No, I don't think so. You need to ignore the downvotes in videos like this, they are completely pointless and irrelevant - that's how downvoting works in KZbin. They are more likely from clueless, cultureless people who don't even understand what they're down-voting, or from people who have just come from voting on Kim Kardashian where their pointless, ineffectual opinion is of zero value and completely ignored to begin with. Or more likely from fly-by KZbin vandals hiding behind a meaningless click. I don't even take any notice of downvotes, they bear no relation to the video whatosever.

[@omie5763]

Thank you for this beautiful music. Love the organ too..

[@annemackellar6293]

Oh my goodness. This is the first video I ever saw of Gert playing. I stumbled across it by mistake, and wanted to know who owned the long legs going up to the organ loft!!!!!! I was immediately hooked on this young man's 🎶 🎵. Nine years later I am a devoted fan and admirer. Gert, you are an inspiration to us all.

[@ricktomlinson8824]

wow!!! what a way to start the day.... what fun.!!! Now thank we all our God ! you just made my day !!! THANK YOU !

[@NellydeRijk]

Fantastisch, zie er naar uit dat de kerken weer vol lopen om Hem te loven en te prijzen!

[@pime1223]

Semplicemente fantastico, è di un'altro pianeta.

[@a.d.godbee9792]

Gert this is te one...THE ONE!! With moderation usully, this is the kind of videos that brinig the viewer into the program and reveals behind the scenes reality plus a performance all worth the viewing. I't not Ad-agency-presentation we like to relate to as viewers...many of us anyway

[@MultiFunGhi]

I very much liked the verbal interaction...and the organ playing!

[@fernhabecker819]

So powerful! Awesome!!

[@heesendr]

Thank you for these recordings. You are an inspiration to the world.

[@chiefkev]

What a gift! Such joy and praise you bring!

[@mtkaxtreme]

Would you please consider doing this more often. Not only was the improvisation amazing, but it's great to get a behind the scenes glimpse.

[@TroisiemeGrandeSaison]

Du talent à l'état pur ! J'ai eu la joie d'aller l'écouter à Geraardsbergen il y a un mois... merveilleux de mettre son don à la Gloire de Dieu !

[@MrAnthonieify]

"Soli Deo Gloria,"alleen aan God de eer!! Bedankt voor je prachtige inprovisatie....geweldig!! Ton

[@DirkNorder1968]

Goede dag Gert... ook deze improvisatie is net als alle andere stukken die jij speelt in een woord geweldig.Maakt eigenlijk niet veel uit wat voor een muziek stuk het is..jij maakt er iets moois van.Ben naar twee concerten van je geweest en dat was geweldig.Op 13 februari kom ik met mijn vriendin naar je concert in Ridderkerk... het is nog ver weg, maar verheug me er al weer op om je weer eens live te horen.Concert Victoria Hall is ook geweldig geweest zag ik.Ben en blijf een grote fan van Je...luister af en toe eens naar je op KZbin..ook de dvd beluister ik nog geregeld..Het ga je goed verder..hopelijk nog mooie concerten voor Je in petto?Ik ga je nog volgen op KZbin en op je site..Tot volgend jaar in ieder geval.... Het ga je goed..Dirk Norder...Leidschendam

[@a.d.godbee9792]

This a good,, PERFICT example of the youth "Dutch Masters" of the Nederlander talent here focusing on a true Dutch [organ] Master and other aspiring talent. L-O-V-E IT!

[@steffensindermann3220]

Hallo Gert. Dieses Orgelwerk von Dir gespielt, ist einfach cooool. Mein Favorit!!!! Kann ich immer wieder hören. Unglaublich. LG S.

[@MagicalPipes]

This Performance Inspired me to Meet Gert in Person .

[@1791457]

Erg mooi, en ook leuk die discussie in de orgelbak

[@Joerg122]

Genial umgesetzte Improvisation. Kompliment !!!

[@dodevajo]

This play is amazing. The song is already great because our God receives the glory and the playing accentuates that. Thank you for playing and posting.

[@danmarten330]

update to your comment 2 years ago, its up to 58 dislikes, but i have to agree how can anyone find fault in this young man? he s older now still sounds just as good as when a kid in this video. who knows my last name is Deveers so maybe i m prejdiced toward him as a fellow Dutchman.

[@capacityplus]

You are not prejudiced. I traveled from Northern Ireland to England to hear him perform live in Victoria hall. It was worth every penny. There always haters on the internet.

[@Goodchappy]

I am flabbergasted! 4 years! What is your secret? I love Dutch organs and this is no exception.

[@stefanhempel2354]

thank you for Music ......super Talant

[@stanisawk1385]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@capacityplus]

Wow. After only four years. Just WOW!

[@patriciathurmond244]

Gert, you played that so wonderfully !

[@georg1945]

Fantasztikus tehetség, intelligencia !!! Danke für diese sehr schöne Orgelmusik !

[@klaasevertklaasevert254]

Zeer ontroerend,ik blijf maar luisteren.

[@JohanHerrenberg]

Ik keer altijd weer even terug. Dit is zo geïnspireerd en inspirerend!

[@jeanpierredevos3137]

En dan dat gezicht van de vaste organist. Altijd bijzonder om een groot talent te zien met een stem op de achtergrond" dat kan ik nooit zo"

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Gert van Hoef is an amazing, top-class organist. One very minor change to whoever translated the speech into English: Mrs. Daamen 'taught' you the basics (active), not 'learned' you (1:39) (passive) the basics. You are 'taught' by *someone* (direct), but you *learn* (indirect) *from* someone else. It's a difficult and subtle English-language way of speaking, and you often hear non-English speakers get it wrong, thinking the language's grammar is a bit simpler than it really is. Nevertheless the video is superb, and the translation remains clear - was für ein Talent is Gert van Hoef!

[@organbuilder272]

You watch his assistants draw stops and thing of how heavy the touch is becoming. This kid much have a grip of steel. 2 Manuals coupled with 12 or so stops is a heavy touch.

[@ericdouarinou8232]

i like when Jan take you by shoulders and turn you to organ...stop to talk and show what you are able to do -:)

[@gaggymott9159]

As an organist of many years, not just four, I still hate the 'glory' of people who talk as if I'm a God! There is but but one God...I'm an Organist - 'Here I stand, I can do no other' - Gloria Dei!

[@helmutschnell1121]

So schön anzuhören und anzusehen lieber Gert. Und Jan ist dir so vertraut.

[@Orgeltje]

Dat is ff een prachtig stuk muziek Gert!

[@Harm-JanvanderSluis]

mooi gespeeld gert! dat kan ik niet eens allemaal uit mijn hoofd

Fantastic! Great performance! Thank you for the music. Marco

[@famboekestijn3077]

Geweldig dit...!!

[@ronald74e]

Toen ik klein was minachtte ik een kerkorgel. Niet mooi, saai, duf. Mede door dit soort video’s ontdek ik dat het eigenlijk één van de mooiste instrumenten heeft het en ook een geschiedenis die in zijn oorsprong heeft die los staat van het geloof. Ongelooflijk mooi!

[@georg1945]

Drei Angel bei den Orgel. Gert ist Hauptangel !!!

[@jkloos87]

in één woord fantastisch!

[@panlomito]

Nice detail: watch the matching outfits with Jan... :-)

[@julieloyd2244]

I have a shirt just like that..gonna call it my Gert shirt .

[@mikarify]

Fantastisch!

[@walterdreesman3473]

Beste Gert. Wat speel je prachtig !. Je verdient op korte termijn een hoge Koninklijke Onderscheiding:: Ridder in de Muziek in een goede onderscheiding voor je geweldig mooi spel !. Afzender: Nico van Harten uit Utrecht. (Wijk Kanaleneiland-Zuid).

[@ferreralex]

Muito bom !!! Maravilhosa contribuição para o mundo das artes.

[@jeanpierredevos3137]

The organ player from the church watches Gert in complete awe.

[@Welzheimerle]

it is just fantastic :-)

[@chieloverbeeke5574]

die is wel mooi!!

[@SelkirkPipey]

I greatly enjoy KZbin posts!! My only further request would be English translation of composition names. Your playing is exceptional!

[@danielueblacker9118]

I would love to have a ENGLISH translation of what everyone was saying..... Love the technical stuff, but more of just the music.

[@surlyogre1476]

English subtitles have been added. Come back and watch it again, they're having fun up in the organist's loft.

[@litoboy5]

MASTER !!! AND CUTE TOO !!

[@aidavandebrake-miavoca8794]

Denk dat ik toch maar fan word. :p Think I'm gonna be a fan after all. Hearing you talk, your personality, did it for me.

I don't know who this Allen God is, but sounds good.

[@pgnutter]

Wonderful to listen and watch. Those boys who are helping, are they your brothers? They seem to know exactly what stops you want. Does that mean you practice this piece a lot, or is it kinda standard? I guess with your talent you can learn stuff very quickly. Probably many hours of practice though..

[@klaasevertklaasevert254]

schitterend,mooi man.

[@Marille70]

Wundervoll !!!!

[@jimmartin181]

An unusual interview for the You Tube collection with a speaking part for Gert. He seems to bristle a bit before starting... some confusion about the selection. Jan gets him back on track but the dialog in the organ loft gets a little hard to follow. An impressive end result as usual......

[@franksteffensenaliasmrschm4149]

This is AWESOME!!

I wish this had sub titles.

It has now.

thank you, it's so good...

[@ScenicDepot]

Gert, Ik heb net ontdekt uw video's en hou van alle van hen. Alsjeblieft, hou dat nederige geest die je lijkt te hebben. Muzikanten zijn meer vatbaar voor hoogmoed dan wie dan ook, en trots is een man's ondergang. Dank u, dank u, voor de duizenden uren die je de praktijk.

[@butchscorner]

Love to hear your voice even tho I don't know what you are saying. You should talk more on tape before you play. Think about it.

[@MagicalPipes]

Heel Mooi Orgel Gert

[@edelweiss1021]

Amazing

[@ledhec]

I'am sorry about my commentary but, I need to say that the 33 people that vote "don't like", could be nice and quiet, simply don't vote. The squared people can't see the magical Gert's talent.

[@organbuilder272]

+ledhec Those who vote against Gert and his two registrants do not appreciate music. If this boy is not perforect, so what? He is learning, having a wonderful time doing it. He is also introducing the Dutch classic organs to the world. This boy will be a great performer in the near future. Doubt it not!!

[@capacityplus]

@@organbuilder272 You have been proved right. Just look at his KZbin statistics now. (I can't state it as they keep climbing).

Beste Gert ik volg je al een aantal jaren en luister met veel plezier en (gezonde) jaloezie naar je orgelspel. Zelf opgegroeid met orgels en muziek, (mijn vader speelde en heeft altijd orgel gehad) heb zelf even les gehad maar ben zo als je dat zo zegt talentloos dus dat werd niks. Het luisteren blijft dus over en dat doe ik o.a. door naar je geweldige filmpjes,concerten en dvd te luisteren. Overigens wil ik die gene welke je vastleggen in geluid en beeld een compliment geven dank jullie wel !!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice to hear your voice. Even tho, I don't understand. I think its the frist time. LOL...It sure takes a lot of young men to help you play that organ. I do think they were in the way.LOL. They are good looking but would have been better to just sit there and listen to you play.

[@organgoesheavy]

Yes - it was heavy :-)
