Awesome! In the UK we sing this hymn with just a few verses and this version is so beautiful! Gert puts heart and soul into everything he does! What an incredible organist to bless my days with beautiful sacred music! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jimleon7894]

Gert, you are a truly impressive and inspiring musician. If the government of the Netherlands has not proclaimed you a National Treasure, they should!

[@beaulofgren5187]

I've listened to this several times over the years - and I am always drawn by the outstanding talents of Gert van Hoef's organ playing....and the passionate singing of the congregation while Gert plays. Always a treat to listen to, especially if I'm burning the midnight oil as I type this. What I would do to be able to listen to Gert in person. Someday.....

[@soniacarlson1951]

I'm really impressed with the way the audiences/congregations always sing out!

[@gerrypage7887]

I prayed, I sang, I loved every minute of that great hour way to short. May God bless you.

[@WINCHANDLE]

What a wonderful counterpoint between organ and heartily singing congregation. Wish we had such fervent singing congregations in the USA. You have a great skill in getting the congregation revved up with your improvisations between stanzas. Oh the modulations are wonderful

[@rypkepaulusma]

Please enjoy a traditional Dutch congration singing on whole notes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKinlpKwfKiFbsU This time it was an 'only-male' song evening.

Lieber Gert, ich höre diese schöne Musikaufnahme immer wieder. Es tut einfach gut. Danke danke danke!

[@ArnoldPetter]

I like that I can I revise my comments as this is one of my favorite video's of Gert! Such amazing talent and have more to say as he plays these great songs of praise to our almighty God. Gert , you have influence over many with your talent as it is great! It is my hope that you bring many to Christ with your talents!

[@rauzervierkantable]

Mooi! Ik speelde ooit op dit orgel tijdens de rouwdienst van mijn vader. Prachtig orgel!

[@Bouncybon]

Gert gives it everything. Power, musicianship, joy, inspiration, creativity, personal commitment, and an easy friendship with his hearers. A unique musical personality and a fine man.

[@greesyduck]

AWW WOW all the congregation awaiting for you to sing on your que note gives me masses of goosebumps both of your fantabulistic organ playing and their mindblowingly beautiful singing both of you in full unison with THEE BEST ORGANIST IN THE WORLD you Gert Van Hoef Love the Multitasking very clever to be able to find a hymn and keep playing without looking you are amazing Gert thanks also to the camera person for their time in recording very much appreciated for us not able to be present :)

[@leondustar]

Amazing. Gert is a boss. Be like Gert.

[@jpstenino]

This excellence in keyboard performance gets a congregation singing with full enthusiasim Deze uitmuntende prestaties toetsenbord krijgt een gemeente zingen met volle enthousiasme

[@wmewan2711]

Wow Gert! I've seen about everything now. I've seen you hit a stop with the top of your head when the registrant and you couldn't do it with hands. I've seen you cross your feet on the pedal board ... on and on. Now here your are with your music flying everywhere. You calmly pick it off the floor and elsewhere without missing a beat. Talk about capabilities far far beyond the imagination. Thank you for the beauty...and for the great show!!!

[@douglasjensen8986]

Gert, thanks for sharing this wonderful concert. I'm glad that you play music that the people enjoy...and especially "He the Pearly Gates Will Open". It's great to hear the singing too and to see you happy and smiling.

[@karlbahlmann9772]

Wunderschön. Er ist der Boss und hat alles im Griff. Gänsehaut pur. Dankeschön dafür.

Sending you love.

[@helmutschnell1121]

Für mich ein echter Schatz diese Musik. Ich kann sie immer wieder anhören. Beste Gert, dank you well!

[@andreasseeful]

Wunderschöne Klänge auf einer "bescheidenen" Orgel. Auch der Gesang der Gemeinde ist sehr ergreifend.Doch wer Gert' Improvisations-Technik im Herumblättern und Notenblätter auflesen und anschliessend ein paar Takte Spielen ohne Noten - wohlverstanden ohne Unterbruch (!) - sehen will, geht auf 31:25.Einfach genial: The show must go on!

[@reinholdsuter6750]

Auch wenn ich den Text nicht kenne, aber es gefällt mir sehr gut, und Orgel Musik ist was sehr schönes.

Und nochmal, ich liebe dieses Video ❤ Viele Grüße aus Bonn Helmut

[@Carson3789]

What talent! I believe that you must be getting some assistance from ??? oh, yes, Heavenly Father!! Your playing is breathtaking; the way you can adlib; and your finger dexterity is a wonderful gift!! I have always wondered why you raise your hands and nearly slam them on the keys. I play organ and I remember needing to do that when I played a pipe organ for awhile. Is that the reason? I still want to come to Europe to hear you play in person!! I think I will need to start rowing across the Atlantic!!

[@Carson3789]

+Louis Alarcon Thank you for your comments. I agree some comes from playing the piano as I have played piano a long time. To go to Europe I will likely need to win the lottery!!

[@danwilson8427]

Wonderful as always! "He the Pearly Gates Will Open" has to be my favorite. Great congregational singing. I think several folk would like to hear your arrangement of the hymn "How Great Thou Art" when you have some spare time.

[@howardbradley8805]

you are the Best

[@dalakarl2]

My professor said this Swedish hymn was conceived in a Swedish Salvation Army chapel in the old Swede town of Chicago; on Lincoln Ave. It was my grandmother's favorite, and sung at her funeral in 1959. Thanks so much.

[@MagicalPipes]

[@bjf005]

Eén van de eerste video's waarbij zowel het orgel spelen als het zingen beide evenwaardig en goed opgenomen klinken. Hier hou ik van. Doe zo verder Gert!!!!

[@MarkOfWA]

Congregations have their own tempo, which guest organists must endeavor to match. That is a challenge which concert artists do not face.

[@williamevans3902]

Following up on my previous request for translation assistance, it's not as simple as I thought. The musicologists at my local organ music society agree that the tune is 'Hanover', written in the early 18th century. However, that tune has been used for more than one title. The generally accepted Australian/English/American title is 'O Worship the King all Glorious Above'. Other titles, with different lyrics, are 'Ye Servants of God, your Master Proclaim', and 'We Praise thee, o God, our Lord and Our King'. So I shouldn't be too hard on Google translator as the Dutch title is probably yet another variant, although the literal English translation is still incomprehensible. My knowledge in this area is obviously rudimentary, but I'm learning, and the reason I'm learning is Gert's music. Thanks Gert.

Great playing.

[@abrahamcusters2987]

Ik ben 61 en gereformeerd opgevoed, maar nu niet meer gelovig. Ik denk toch bij kerkse orgelmuziek met een fijn gevoel terug aan mijn jeugd in Gouda. Maar de psalmen en gezangen zelf doen mij niet zo veel meer ware het niet dat ik sommige teksten nog wel degelijk herinner. Je interludes waar wat meer ritme en tempo in zit, hoera, want in mijn jeugd was het meestal alleen muziek met hele en halve noten, en een traag tempo, maar je interludes dus, die vind ik fantastisch. Je bent een groot musicus. Je zweeft over het klavier en ik zie dat je het heerlijk vindt. Ik ga zeker naar een concert, al zie ik dat dat er niet zoveel zijn.

[@abrahamcusters2987]

Daar moet ik aan toevoegen dat ik jouw uitvoering van het laatste stuk gezang 300 ook helemaal top vind.

wonderful music but the trebles of the organ wobble and squeal cuz of the wind pressure fluctuating from the slider chests

[@marknymeyer9159]

I pray for the Church in Holland. My ancestors came from Holland; perhaps God will use you to bring His truth back to the people of Holland. Thank you for being His instrument as you play. Now for a voice as clear and perfected as you're playing. God's blessings on you and your family.

[@williamevans3902]

Can anyone help with an English translation of, 'Wat vlied' of bezwijk getrouw is mijn God', played by Gert at 47:50. Google translate is often hopeless at translating the sense, as it comes out as, 'What flee or succumb faithful is my God', a jumble of literally translated English words devoid of syntax. The common English title probably uses quite different words to say the same thing. My wife and I like to sing along, so we need the words from the Australian/English hymnbook. Naturally it would be easier if we read music, which is why my success rate in matching titles is only about 60%. Many thanks

[@gerhardjacobi2349]

Hymn 470, Liedboek voor de kerken (Hymnal for the churches) 1 Wat vlied' of bezwijk', getrouw is mij God, Hij blijft aan mijn zij in 't wisselend lot; moog 't hart soms ook beven in 't heetst van de strijd, zijn liefd' en ontferming vertroosten altijd. 4 Ik roem in mijn God, ik juich in zijn trouw, de rots mijner ziel, waar 'k eeuwig op bouw. Ik zal Hem nog prijzen in 't uur van mijn dood, dan rijst nog mijn loflied: zijn goedheid is groot! Lyrics from Johann Andreas Böhringer (1834-1911), Dutch Lutheran pastor of German descent. Music composed by William Croft (1678-1727) (“O worship the King”) A literal translation: 1. What may disappear or succumb, faithful is my God He stays at my side in the ever-changing fate May my heart sometimes tremble in the midst of deep struggle His love and compassion always comfort me 2. I praise my God, I praise His faithfulness He is the rock of my soul, upon which I always build I will even praise Him in the hour of my death Even than I’ll raise my song: His goodness is great! Greetings from Brazil!

[@williamevans3902]

Gerhard, thank you so much. Isn't the internet wonderful. When I was Gert's age there was no such thing as a mobile phone, let alone a world wide web! Also, according to musicologists here in Australia, the common English title is 'O worship the King, all glorious above', based on the 18th C melody 'Hanover'. Following Gert is improving my musical education. We're both a very long way from The Netherlands. I hope we may both see him when he must eventually leave there to tour the world.. God Bless

[@metronoom2910]

jan van de beek, tempo is een keuze. Informeer vooraf wat de gemeente gewent is en graag wil. Maar,....... bij gemeentezang de gemeente altijd voorblijven en op sleeptouw nemen? "Wat is dat voor onzin". Zou streven naar eenheid zowel in spelen als zingen geen betere optie zijn en daar is hier sprake van.
