🎵 Hymns and Organ Music from Cirencester Parish Church (VIRTUAL CHURCH)

I am very pleased to bring today's VIRTUAL CHURCH from St John the Baptist Church in Cirencester - a beautiful town right in the centre of the Cotswolds!
In this video I play 12 hymns, 4 organ pieces and give a demonstration of the sensational 4-manual Henry Willis / Harrison & Harrison organ.
This organ has become my favourite church organ here in the UK, surpassing (in my view) the terrific organ of the Temple Church in London.

[@BarneyLeith]

As a young teenager in the early 1960s I used to worship with my parents in Cirencester parish church. It is a beautiful church and I'm so glad that the organ is in good heart.

[@martingroot6128]

Thank you muchs of your fantastisch organ play my god bless you

[@rogernightingale3679]

Hello Richard and Family, What a beautiful VC today. Fantastic organ playing, fabulous organ, great acoustics, and good hymns. At the weekends, it's also the best chat session around. I think Eddie was in heaven this weekend what with the Tuba tune yesterday, and lots of tuba registration today. You make a lot of people happy! Thanks!

[@calvinrichardjoness]

The smile and Joy i get when I see you play Ralph Vaughan Williams arrangement of All People that on Earth do dwell. Thank you Richard for demonstrating this beautiful Organ.

[@donaldhooper3064]

AWESOME! Love the pink socks too. Love watching the footwork.

[@sevencorsa]

I love your superb talent, thank you so much for sharing it with us, a very nice gift for all of your viewers !!!

[@maureendaniel-braveboy1835]

Hello all from Trinidad and Tobago. Beautiful and soothing music. Well expressed heavenly Doxology.

[@sissi78230]

Good evening from Paris in France. Thank you so much for this visit and " Praise to the Lord"...

[@eddieking7736]

Thank you for showcasing this wonderful instrument, a great example of an English Organ. The reeds, especially the Tuba are just superb.

[@leylinegoddess]

faith of our fathers. my confirmation hymn 1960. thank you

[@Apriluser]

What great reharmonization on the first hymn. Glorious!

[@svengilson]

The drawknobs, pistons, etc remind me very much of the 1963 Hill, Norman and Beard that I play!

[@beautyinsound]

I love this organ!

[@qwincyq6412]

Tthank you! Such a wonderful organ with that English swell that rises up so powerfully as you open the box. Your tempos and phrasing is spot on for hymn playing.

[@donaldsaunders3075]

Amen 🙏 Virtual Church and the Mini Recital was a Blessing. May God continue to bless you Sir Richard and your family and the Beauty in Sound Channel. ☺🎼🎹

[@astriearif6040]

Beautiful!

[@99LordRock]

Thank you for the recital and virtual church from Cirencester. I agree with you that this is a very special organ. It has the beauty of the Willis combined with the fire and precision of H and H. A real hybrid if the best in English organ building. The Temple Organ is very fine - my church ! But agree this is better. I do hope you can do some more recordings from Cirencester. 👍

[@willg1604]

Very nice church!

[@philippowell3320]

Started off and ended with my favorite hymn... that's how you do it!

[@janemazzola4454]

What a BEAUTIFUL & INSPIRING Virtual Church today! From your guiding & narrating us @ this lovely church to the magnificant hymns you played, & your educating us @ this wonderful organ, it was a BLESSED event, savored & to be replayed many times. Thank you & blessings from Reston, VA

[@borneodayak479]

What a wonderful organ for a parish church! Thank you for the performance & choice of hymns Richard. Great to see you out and about 😀

[@richardhoover4471]

Thank you, Richard, for the excellent variety of hymns and organ works. I especially enjoyed hearing the Manz “Was Gott tut.” Manz has always been a hero of mine as a Lutheran organist. I was fortunate to play for him as a young student in a master class years ago. Greetings from Long Beach, California, USA!🇺🇸

[@johnmunns9712]

Sitting here in SE Australia on a cold (18C) but sunny winters day, enjoying the memories of singing in a church choir in Sutton Surrey in the 1960's standing next to the organ console. Used to enjoy an occasional play after service. You played with full depth of tone, bass is sensational and reverb in church inspiring. Thanks

[@ds1868]

Don't worry about the weather John it's only 15C in Cambridge dark cloudy skies with drizzle. Been like this now for three days and same for the rest of this week, and it's August.

[@johnmunns9712]

@@ds1868 have sister in Norfolk, ( and lived in Norwich for a few years) so regular weather comparisons are quite fun. Always enjoyed the impressive style and number of Norfolk churches, and of course Norwich, famed for a church for every week of the year and a pub for every day!!

[@martym61]

Thank you for all your hard work. Beautiful organ.

[@andrewnelson3681]

This was just wonderful. Thank you so much.

[@rogerlewis3787]

Certainly a brilliant organ and thank you Richard. Worth a return visit!

[@audreysmith5896]

What a treat. Thank you for such a wonderful performance Sir Richard. I happen to stumbled upon this Program and it is delightful. The Pipe Organ is a Heavenly Instrument, and you play those Hymns beautifully. You are exceptional, l and Blessed to be Blessing.

[@OrganGuyPhil]

Lots of awesome tunes!!! Thank you! 😊

[@philiplowe1751]

Thank you Richard. that was super - all the best P :)

[@hugecocknballs]

Well Done!

[@alexrieth2022]

Phantastic...!!!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you for a FANTASTIC VC - what a sound! Truly remarkable. That TUBA - and your perfect inclusion of that in my favourite CoeFen - leaves me without words. Bravo!!

[@rosederogene9069]

Never heard of you before. Came across your channel after listening to Diane Bish Hymns of hope, and it was quite a performance. You're amazing and gifted. Love your style.

[@jaimelange2857]

Muito lindo!Essa troca de registro que o Senhor faz é brilhante!!!

[@kimfleury]

This is a beautiful sounding organ. I'm not especially musically inclined, but even my ears peek up at the magnificent qualities of this organ. Thank you for this. As always, it's helping my preparation for this evening's Mass. I'll pray for you, your family, and for the BIS community. May God bless you 🙏🏻✝️

[@janemazzola4454]

Thank you for your prayers on behalf of us all.

[@justforever96]

I am new to this whole scene (if that is the word) and I am wondering if anyone knows of a channel like this that is dedicated more to the choral aspect of traditional hymns? It do love a good organ, but to me the human voice is the supreme instrument. I really (really) enjoyed your videos that included the choir singing, they went so well together, I am feeling the need for more now. I see why it is much harder to organize (no pun intended?) But I would love to hear more of it, to expand my musical horizons. I know of at least one good channel with Church of Christ (?) a cappella singing, and I know plenty of the shape note singing channels, I would like to hear more of the Anglican (for example) tradition. Just to try it all out. Anything traditional that doesn't have drums or guitar.

[@monaandersen2123]

Your playing was mentalt for to sop the war in Israel solei deo gloria hear Rx

[@chrisnerreau4588]

have you ever considered recording the Gregorian Mass settings accompaniments? Miss De Angelis and Orbis Factor are of particular interest. Also, Asperges me. I would pay for these recordings.

[@jasoncirone4368]

i wanna play that organ now

[@mrfixit0273]

Thank you Richard for sharing your exceptional talent and allowing us to see and hear another fabulous Harrison instrument. A real shame about the fault on the Choir and certain areas could do with a good tune through though!

[@BenjaminYau]

I think you've missed out the timestamp for Londonderry Air at 1:22:25 😉 That aside, a splendid performance from a well-sounded organ 😊

[@johnplatanitis5955]

Hello! Love your videos! Hello! I was wondering if I could ask for help with a problem I have with the virtual setup I am working on. I am in the midst of setting up a 3-manual organ for myself. I have 3 Casio MIDI keyboards, with a push on/off button on top of each. I had intended on simply using a power strip to turn on/turn off, but once the power is cut, each keyboard will shut down and need to be turned on by manually pushing the power button of each. Is there an (easy) way to remedy this situation with a singular on/off switch? Or will I have to move each keyboard each time I need to power on/off? Thank you so much for any suggestions :-)

[@terenceocallaghan5639]

Very interested to read about yr 3 manual organ using Casio MIDI keyboards as I’ve been pondering over doing something similar as I live in a small flat having downsized since retiring .... keen to learn more as yu progress yr virtual set up👍regards from Cape Town

[@keithdavies6316]

Afternoon Richard McVeigh for last night's hymnes and organ voluntaries played on the organ of Cirencester parish church very soothing music to end the Sunday Cirencester parish is it Anglican or Catholic

[@alisonelliott2236]

Cirencester Parish Church Is Anglican - well worth a visit if you are ever in this part of the country!

[@sytzewiersma9731]

Thanks for the beautiful presentation of this organ. Some pipes were out of tune, or is it a matter of poor mingling? Maybe it's me, and I have to visit my audicien............

[@lordenoch0]

I request a Manz Marathon.

[@brosert]

2 questions.... 1) Does playing in socks make it harder to use the heel (I know shoes can be comfortable, but would think it's harder to use the heel without them) 2) What's on the phone - is that reminders of stops to use or something?

[@natecamilleri3937]

Hi Richard, just so you know I had to create a new account because youtube is doing a stupid thing with school-run accounts for people under 18, so my Nathan Camilleri account with the Donald for the account picture won't be able to comment or participate in live chat. So, I created a new account. I have subscribed.

[@TurtleFL]

1:27:56 Who's here because of Bruce Dickinson on the Chemical Wedding album? Who's here because of Carcass? :->

[@keithdavies6316]

Allergy sounds similar to Solemn Melody

[@andrewjkm1]

It was a common form of the period. The original was an improvisation at the end of a BBC broadcast service.

[@davebarclay4429]

I think you mean "Elegy" ;-)

[@monaandersen2123]

Organ speak about JESUS.KRISTUS in sound next time is you MEISTRO speak of the highest King of the Organ

[@rayrombo5025]

The sheet-music business needs to modernize drastically! Computerize already! Those sheet music books are cumbersome and distracting.

[@paulward6287]

At the end don’t forget the whoosh and gurgle!

[@paulward6287]

Try it again

[@paulward6287]

Please try choir again!
