Hymn Tune Kingsfold | I Heard the voice of Jesus Say | Michael T.C. Hey | Saint Patrick's Cathedral

[@RobertWallace-r5v]

This is the TOP performance of any hymn on any KZbin channel, bar NONE. Wonderful!!

[@skymarshallmarz5573]

My brother passed yesterday. This is the first music I have listened to today, as I feel it should be, in light of the circumstances.

[@kodwoampiahbonney3507]

May his soul rest in the bosom of our mighty Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

[@douglasjensen8986]

I watch this almost every day.

[@jonaskissling8343]

I'm still coming back to this one 😊

[@hannahrose5739]

Sinice the organist is not flipping pages, that tells me that the great variations he uses are all in his head, including the wonderful chords, and the running pedal work. Which makes me think that his improvisation from one performance to another might be whatever sounds good to him in the moment. Truly amazing abiity, but I do underestand it comes from many hours of practising and being familiar with chord change options. Real musicianship!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Hannah Rose what is a little more amazing is the modulation he does I described to him as being something like Gerre Hancock used to do, I described the specific musical form structures, he just did it. Michael is brilliant.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

He was making it up

[@gracematubis8317]

Mastery of chord progression and key signatures.

[@davidfraser2946]

I wasn't expecting to be moved to tears just randomly clicking around youtube. Thanks Michael!

[@Quadrenaro]

Thanks Palpy

[@JohnNagel-v8r]

Absolutely regal. Love the " organizing 'before the final verse.

[@danielponder690]

it's an awesome series of modulations to get from e minor to f minor, I am not nearly as good at this as he is, but it's always really exciting when organists are allow to actually PLAY hymns and really "pull out all the stops" - literally

[@adgodbee3272]

oh to be that talented and young [I'm 85] again. Lord bless him greatly !!!

[@celiaescher]

My favourite ever hymn tune. I will walk down the aisle to this at my wedding ! Thank you for the superb rendition.

[@balloonaticengineer4320]

Michael Hey did an amazing job with this wonderful hymn. Every piece he play is a mastery of the console itself and with such feeling!

[@mfredcourtney5876]

Makes me miss Church. Beautiful.

[@randolphmoore1194]

I wish there were more examples of well-played hymns on KZbin. Michael Hey gets hymns. When considering hymn playing is the primary reason most organs exist, you would think more organists would include at least one hymn in their concerts.

[@Westminstrelsy]

I haven't felt the way I currently feel in so long. I literally have chills running down my back and my hair is standing on end. Beautiful!

[@jamesthewineguy]

Glorious--I hope to hear this in person someday --when things are normal again.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

In the meantime, just look up the Catholic masses of his church on KZbin. They are there!

[@peteretalong737]

I have listing to this amazing playing over and over again thanks so much Michel

[@westernaustralia9442]

Wonderful! Michael...it came from your soul! Luv the mauve socks . a man of style too!!😍

[@benz4898]

When music be played from the hearth like this... I close my eyes and I feel that it is like an introduction of heaven.

[@timhodgins6031]

Superb! I wasn't even looking for this but couldn't draw myself away from it! Excellent!

[@nigelfhs2000]

Beautiful..... My theater organ needs work, but I am very proud of me playing for my church!!!!! Jesus is KING 👑

[@petersapio5987]

Can’t even imagine how this sounded in the Church. Loved to have been there.

[@ravenlass9609]

Absolutely superb! Now I'm spoiled for all other versions! Goosebumps from head to toe...

[@michaelschantz6708]

Wonderful hymn Michael. One of the English tunes which comes "right from the soul and the soil".

[@forestgreenorgangeek3473]

michael schantz YEAAAAAH!

[@Chesterbarnes1]

What a gifted ORGANIST, and a powerful ORGAN. The pedal work on this ORGAN is mighty

[@HobbyOrganist]

Well yeah, I think his family owns a pipe organ buidling firm, if not it still makes sense he started taking lessons when he was like 2 or something, 30 years of daily practice for hours at a time starting that young is what makes the difference.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

None of the above statements you made are accurate

[@josephr.gainey2079]

+Victorian Sculptures JEALOUS!!!!! You're probably just like me, you can't sing a note nor play any instrument. All I can do is praise God that others, such as Mr. Hey, can and do it so well!!!!!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Praising our heavenly Father is most important

[@belindamotamedi8724]

Since I can't go to Mass tomorrow, this beautiful music makes me feel that I am at church.

[@ronanmurray]

Astonishingly good. Magnificent musicianship and command of the instrument, and what an interlude!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Hey! He is good

[@arthurdrollinger6970]

Thank you Michael for sharing this gift you have of the organ. The music is a gift to the soul.

[@jmdujardin]

Wonderful and great hymn, thanks a lot !!

[@skippymagrue]

One of my all-time favorite tunes!

[@pattydowdy8391]

This hymn is beautifully played. I was blessed as I listened to it.

[@janepilecki8083]

Wonderful playing! And I love the purple socks!

[@jeffcloss7160]

Lyrics: I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me, and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give The living water: thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live.” I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright.” I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my Star, my Sun; And in that Light of life I’ll walk Till trav’lling days are done.

[@kitstr]

Superb organ skills, fine organ fine hymn setting. All elements have come together. Totally uplifting.

[@charlesdavis7087]

Good on you Michael. Loved it. Obviously, you own it!

[@Guppieboi3]

This beautiful hymn was sung at Princess Diana's funeral, and yes, hearing it again brings a deep sense of reverence.

[@davidhamilton1981]

I will be using this modulation in future. Absolutely wonderful bridge.

[@jamesodo3976]

Thanks so much for sharing the inspiration from the hymn and the skill to render it's beauty. I enjoy this video always, from Pst. James Odo, Deeper Life Bible Church, VI, Lagos, Nigeria.

[@KT-xl8bw]

such a command of the instrument. I enjoy watching and listening to this video.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Thx Michael Hey is fabulous

[@jeffreybals4430]

Love this guy. So much talent!

[@michaelschantz6708]

Bravo Michael! One of my very favorite Hymns of R. Vaughn WIlliams. Pure English from the earth, music.

[@forestgreenorgangeek3473]

michael schantz I think Rafe was the best twentieth century composer ever, I love his hymn tunes especially Forest Green and Kingsfold.

[@forestgreenorgangeek3473]

He liked to be called Rafe, not Ralph. ( I read his bio, both online and a book.)

[@richardharrold9736]

It's spelled Ralph but pronounced Rafe. His cousin, Sir Ralph Wedgwood, of the pottery family, and chairman of one of the 'Big Four' railway companies, I think was 'Ralph'.

[@redneckjones4182]

My favorite organist nailed it again! Great job!

[@jesusisaliveannie3594]

Amazing stuff going on with the feet there, well done! You looked completely exhausted after all that.

[@andrealocatelli2462]

BTRAVISSIMO,che bello questo brano,le variazioni che fai poi sono fantastiche!!!!

[@Jake_Broer]

I love how effortless he makes the pedal work. Very good!

[@ncpiedmontone]

such talent !!!!-- and one of my favorite hymns too! many thanks!

[@dennispearson9287]

An EXTREMELY Gifted Young Man , In The Great Tradition of The French School of Improvisation , Which He Seems To Have Mastered At A Very Early Age !!!...If This Young Man Continues At This Rate He Could Easily Be America's True Successor To Virgil Fox !!!.....A Stunning Interpretation !!!......

[@raymondbeecroft4209]

I have heard him play this several times. What can I say, except this man knows how to play a hymn. Very few others can even come close. It is not just technic alone. This innante sence of emotion style class. It is so obvious that he also loves what he is doing and has a science of pride in doing it.it is truly elegant in every way. Thank you. Bruce

[@23ericgarner]

wish I could've heard this in person. if it sounds this good over headphones I couldn't imagine it in the room.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

It is pretty amazing in the room

[@mercifromYah]

😍Wonderful Playing. Thrilling!

[@alexanderchiejina7527]

I listen to this video. The variations, expressions and lyrics of the piece is mind blowing and highly reassuring. Looking forward to seeing him playing life in a concert

[@romanticchurchorgan7382]

This is truely amazing. Exceptionally played - thank you for this wonderful contribution!

[@25rodrigomg]

A true relief in midst of this pandemic. God bless this organist and his talent!

[@SpencersGPA]

Beautiful! Keep up the amazing talent!!

[@TJnDB99]

What an inspiring hymn and flawless playing, seems so effortless for you. The registrations, modulations and interlude are such a joy. I hope you can upload more of these great hymns and, of course, your great playing. Bravo!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Thank for your kind words have Michael Hey play an organ recital

[@cliftonburrell5047]

I listened to you a few times and played this very tune by ear this past Sunday at my church Saint Paul's in MO.

[@neilfunk1857]

KZbin keeps putting this video in autoplay rotation and I am happy to listen to it every time. Just wonderful.

[@montefullmer1120]

RVW - Dives and Lazarus was the first time I heard this piece when I was a lot younger. Later on is when I found that this was a hymn under the name of Kingsfold. Excellent playing and video recording ! Good luck as always !

[@kooldavewarren]

Wow! Amazing; I would love to hear some more tunes

[@Capt737AA]

Extremely nice playing, Mr. Hey! Bravo. I will follow your videos for future enjoyment! Patrick in Istanbul

[@josephr.gainey2079]

Thank you!!!! This is my absolute favorite hymn tune! I need this today. Joey Gainey Cowpens, SC, USA

[@steveriggan8944]

Wonderful playing, Michael! This is one of the hymns of my past years as a church organist. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheCinemasound]

One of my favourite hymn tunes.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Demons like hymns?

[@forestgreenorgangeek3473]

Phantom Of The Opera mine too after Forest Green.

[@canyoubelievethis220]

Love your style, Michael. So smooth and beautiful. xx

[@tr9809]

Hymns for my perfect service. For the processional: Alleluia Sing to Jesus. For the gradual: I heard the voice of Jesus say. For the offertory: Jesu Lover of my soul. During communion a motet like Tallis If ye Love me. Post-Communion Hymn: Soul of my Saviour. Then for the recessional. Nun danke alles Gott.

[@furstwilhelm7982]

Nun Danket *Alle* Gott. Nicht alles! So lustig, wenn Leute angeben, dir nicht Deutsch können!

[@joeyleonard6686]

Wonderful job on the organ and great stop selections

[@douglasjensen8986]

I really love this wonderful improvisation on one of my favorite hymn tunes!

[@reneequirk1903]

You are so talented! Love this hymn.

[@foodyak]

Arguably one of the swiftest and elegant organ players in his footing. He is obviously very comfortable in playing this hymn, as every organist should be. He must have ankles of steel! Well done to you, sir.

[@crwydryn]

Great playing. My mind boggles at the co ordination with the foot pedals and all those key pads !!!

[@taster8588]

I love that!!! Great performance!

[@51gary51]

Really beautiful piece of music. You are a true professional!

[@dylankowlessar6296]

One of the best performances of this song on the internet! Absolutely beautiful.

[@michaelp.barham1835]

beautiful. and beautifully offered.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Thanks!

[@nataliekurth3651]

Awesome. Thanks so much for sharing. I have been singing a version of this in Lutheran churches over the years and in choirs.

[@AllenAP40]

I can't get enough of this video! An excellent hymn tune and a fantastic arrangement!

[@matthewmorrison7979]

Brilliant! Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@HeimatEiche58]

Awesome!!! Thank you so much! Greetings from Germany

[@deaganjones4666]

This is some of the best control of the king of instruments that I've ever seen. And all that pedaling without looking once. This truly is the best performance out there. Bravo!

[@johnproof8687]

The interpitation of this hymn tune is breathtaking. Michael great job.

[@jamaicanpianistcomposer]

LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MICHAEL THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!!! YOU HEAR ME?!!! The choices are impeccable!!! OH YES

[@matthewcapestro5809]

Beautiful arrangement and instrument!

[@daniela.hammond6041]

Excellent modulation! Great articulation and fluent pedal work.

[@flamlingo3566]

WOW! So mighty and heavenly--very moving--so masterfully played. Blessed listening and mourning during the pandemic. Thank you for sharing this Beautiful Hymn Tune. : )

[@rzmyers1096]

Church congratulations I've played accompanying hymns always appreciate something improvised... especially a rousing interlude and key change before the final stanza...👍... He sounds very good and any congregation should deeply appreciate his work...

[@MarkHusey]

VERY grand! Bravo!

[@Sathrandur]

Thankyou for this upload! Amazingly, I had never come across this one before and went scrambling for the hymnal (because it is so beautiful and awesome [in the truest sense of the word]). Incredible interlude with gripping modulations. I will have to keep this in mind for when the choir is coming up the stairs and the altar is being incensed. Love it!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

That interlude was something that I think I remember Gerre Hancock using as a structure. Read what I wrote. My memory of this is from the early 1990s.

[@Skally999]

Excellent. One of my favourites

[@flamlingo3566]

Love the way you put your heart and soul and whole self in, moving with and sensing every note. What a gift you are Blessed with. The organ is such an amazing and powerful instrument; the majestic sounds from a pipe organ are very moving--wish I played. It looks super challenging with all that hand, foot, eye coordination. You probably have played since a little child? Love to stop and listen every now and then and again and again to this beautiful song, especially at Easter and Christmas. Thank you so much.

[@Jorge1981ism]

Excelente ejecución, una de mis obras favoritas. Fabuloso arreglo. Gracias por compartir.

[@japlunkett6789]

I think what blows me away the most is the fact that this is all improvisation on the hymn off the top of his head.

[@3aasmith]

Bravo, bravo, young man! For someone so young to play with maturity you do can only lead to a brilliant future! Once again, bravo!

[@pauldeakinvic]

so powerful, thank you.

[@ddkrauss12]

Incredible! Kept it on repeat. Please comment if you're ever giving a concert or something!

[@websurfin9575]

Fabulous! God be praised!!

[@DavidLGill]

Astounding. Thank you ❤️

[@annemarievarseveld3862]

Absolutely love that improvising in between with all those magnificent cords & the majesty of the very fist hymn👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jackbriggs1048]

My choirs performed with this glorious instrument while singing in the gallery, on the altar steps and from the High Altar pews. Rest in peace, Donald Dumler. You are missed, but your replacement performs admirably!

[@iancolgan3183]

Wonderful -I so enjoy your playing.

[@richyokel]

Thoroughly impressive organ playing. I hope to visit some day.

[@robertwidmark2971]

I could listen to this every day. Please share more great hymns on your channel.

[@Domhangairt]

This is just beautiful, magnificent. Awesome Michael, keep it up.

[@josephr.gainey2079]

+Forest Green Organ Geek No, you are not the only one! I could listen to it all day and never grow tired of it. It's the only music I want at my funeral. Bury me with the unabridged and unedited 1662 Book of Common Prayer service read not chanted.

[@kariebeez]

Beautiful. The Kingsfold tune is one of my favorites. We sang this hymn in my church a few weeks ago and our organist and music director, went a capella on the congregation midway through; catching us off-guard but never missing a beat.

[@JBridges1092]

Love this instrument
