When we need the music of the church to really proclaim the Gospel truth, we always turn to Charles Wesley.

Glory to God in the highest

[@loustrau1532]

Nothing like the majesty of a real pipe organ expertly played, love it.

[@gregbushman319]

Just middle of the road, nothing to write home about!

[@xXRubella666Xx]

This carol is honestly such a banger. You can't beat it when played on an organ as intro to Christmas mass. The best.

[@mrvince316]

One of my favorite yuletide hymns, and played quite beautifully.

Thank you 😁🎶❤...Thank You Lord for the Tears 🙏❤✝️

Amazing. Love from Indonesian Christian...

Stumbled upon this saved link, "Christmas", on my computer notepad. This truly brought comfort and joy to my heart during these troubling times. God Bless 🙏

[@karlstewart2220]

Adaptive approach to playing is good for congregation, the key a tune is played in makes all the difference. F has enough range. I play in F G Db D for my churches. With 3 to support knowing your people is key. I just transpose at the keys what ever the key. A useful blessing From God 🙏 Bristol Unitarians accompanist

You all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@josuefelix7808]

@Santana Jordy I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@josuefelix7808]

@Santana Jordy DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED! Literally got access to my IG account details after ~ 30 mins of using the site. I had to pay 15$ but for sure worth the price :) Thanks so much you really help me out :D

Great audio recording quality, and nice job on the visuals! Thanks!

Are you an Organist?

[@davidcarroll8735]

@@veritysprott1547I’m on substitute list at my small local church. My main instrument is piano.

[@abedbush]

I don't like how the organist pumps the pedal for the same note, makes it sound too stacatto, which shouldn't happen on an organ, I'm guessing the organist is more of a pianist than organist. Otherwise wonderful playing of this great hymn, there were no mistakes made other than incorrect pedal use.

[@StoreeDenson]

I agree. I think it is an arrangement because there is some re-harmonization.

[@outlookesp]

Would be nice to hear the singing!

[@dalerider3124]

I don't believe there is any singing.

[@brynnkohler4084]

Troll. Plenty of other pipe organ vids that include actual voices. Always someone who is a complainer, hater or general a**hole.

Sir u played nice Can u give the copy notes

[@busy365]

hello me

[@katherine3045]

I do wish organists could get the rhythm correct at bar 19 (line 7) - it should be 3 crotchet beats, and not as played here.

[@felipeulate4965]

hello, is the sheet music available??

[@richardsantalone9380]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, this carol was played in the key of F, was it not? ;-)

[@cicc646]

I wondered the same thing

[@cicc646]

Usually in G

[@alwellus]

Yes it was! I have that same arrangement - it's the most commonly used, as flats are easier to do on pedals (at least for me)

[@gioginting2909]

@@alwellus can u give that sheet?

[@alwellus]

@@gioginting2909 Try the Anglican hymnal. you should find it there.

[@johnnyjames7139]

The rotten sound of so many church organs cause me to thank God that I found theatre organs 65 years ago!

[@jimmartin3162]

Just wish such Angels rather than sing, would help those in war-torn countries and where-else poverty is rife, not just during Christmas but throughout the year. I make no apologies if this upsets but reality is you enjoy singing this whilst people suffer and die seems inappropriate. I have no magic answer but certainly I see no reason to rejoice when people are suffering and dying needlessly. Perhaps on reading this, make a donation if you can to whatever charity you choose that will help. If you think I am out of order making this statement, well that is your choice. Personally I consider Angels should sing when such suffering is gone.

Rephrase: “Nobody do anything happy until the world is perfect.” I’m going to respectfully say “no thanks” to this philosophy, Jim.

[@veritysprott1547]

Dodgy foot work.
