Hymn Rejoice the Lord is King | Todd Wilson Organist | Kilgen Pipe Organ

[@JohnProthero]

I grew up in a church that had an organist that would accompany hymns like this, and it was so thrilling to sing that final verse with full pipe organ, and the alternative harmonies underneath.

[@georgieleejrs8299]

I myself used to play on a kilgen pipe organ at Highlands Christan church in Colorado many years ago; hearing this one blew my mind big time!! always knew what power it can give; and a great bit of thanks to Todd Wilson's playing indeed!!

[@JoeDoe2]

I love when organists milk the last chord then release it with body language. I'm not one, but it has to be one of life's great pleasures for them.

[@am98101]

It is.

[@am98101]

Goosebumps indeed! This is excellent. As much as I love good hymn playing, rarely am I compelled to sing a long with a KZbin video. Superlative.

[@orettacarter1312]

Lord Jesus i will rejoice in you, and give you praise, and worship you, adore you with all my spirit, soul, heart, and mind and all my strenght.

[@musiccollector]

Sir, you have given me goosebumps with this rendition. What's better than a combination of one of the greatest hymns ever written and an organist who works pure magic?!! Thanks for one of my most favorites hymns, EVER! God bless you. R.I.P., Charles Wesley.

[@kilgenbuff]

I think kilgens were some of the most majestic and beautifully voiced organs for their time.

[@keithbarber6046]

I am so grateful for organists who play with gusto and bring hymns, our shared sung spiritual celebration to exciting life.

[@jasonnong813]

I can't get over how convincing the resultant 32's are!

[@88_clocks87]

I couldn’t agree more.

[@dougjensen]

Hi Nicholas, I stumbled across your u tube video for the second time. Love these classics. Very few people have the talent anymore to play these songs anymore. It lifts my spirit. Thank you brother.

[@robertgorton3856]

[@rajamanijoshua5526]

I really liked it Thank you so much for all this songs

[@hankaustin7091]

one word..... WOW!

[@jjjp6848]

Superb rendition.

[@kcksboy]

Great to hear you create new harmonies beneath "Rejoice the Lord is King," and to build the organ so easily and so seamlessly. You need to return to K.C. so the Mrs. and I can take you for more great ribs near the airport. Remember who we are?

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

The ribs I do not remember, assume you are a friend of QPO

[@AllisWell-qs8kk]

Oh my, you are so talented.

[@IA_Irish]

Why in the world are there 8 thumbs down? God bless you for posting this.

[@mutebisamuel8117]

Thankyou for the lovely piece

[@magnavisions5765]

Wow. Thanks papa

[@foodyak]

Nice use of the oboe in the beginning, really adds a meditational feel

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Thx

[@websurfin9575]

HEAVENLY!

[@petek3872]

This is how it's done.

[@stevehenry1504]

Superb hymn playing in a Catholic parish! That's not something that one frequently hears in the R.C. churches. We have eight Catholic churches in our medium-sized city, and I don't think that any one of them is known for musical excellence. Your parish obviously is! A+, Sir!

[@garyduits3906]

It's a shame that the R.C churches in general pay so little effort in their music .

[@travisbennett50]

Todd Wilson is the organist at Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

[@Mykelclassic]

Superb

[@magnavisions5765]

every thing is good

[@mrstevebournias]

American Symphonic organs at the hands of the finest players......

[@buddys_dad]

Now THAT is how you play a hymn

[@XY_Dude]

I only play hymns on my pipe organ, but with effort. I just appreciate so much these renditions. Please keep them coming. Interesting organ! How do like the tabs vs d.k.'s?

[@foodyak]

Is this your own arrangement?

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Todd Wilson just made it up on the spot

[@m0bob]

or.....Ye Holy Angels Bright.

[@stephenjarrett6696]

Well played, but sounds too "electronic" for me.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

There are only pipes in that organ

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

+Stephen Jarrett it only has pipes, but it might sound electronic since your are listening to it through electronics instead of acoustically.

[@robertiacomacci]

Kilgen organs are nice, but they sound like they suffer from nasal congestion. Give me a Skinner any day.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

+robertiacomacci Many organ from that period did. It was poor/fast voicing of the trebles. Their pitches would slightly shake. That is what gave them that quality. Skinner took care with the trebbles

[@robertiacomacci]

All organs have their very own nature and sound. Kilgens are amazing in power, but far too nasal for my liking.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Skinner and Kimball were likely the best builders of the first half of the 20th century. Enjoy, started by Mr. Skinner and then finished by Mr. Harrison at Mr. Jepson's order: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIKYoWyCmc97aZo
