☕ I Am Going To Play The ENTIRE New English Hymnal - LIVE! |

[@katydickson5547]

I will definitely be watching as much as I can throughout the day.

[@alexisz9902]

Looking forward for this outstanding event. Good luck Richard...

[@ruairi_d]

Good luck Richard! I'll be there as much as I can throughout the day!

[@FDiego-iw5zw]

Good luck Richard!! Complicated weekend ahead, but I'll try to be there to keep you company and enjoy the music! 👍

[@beautyinsound]

Thanks Diego, I expect the video will last for over 12 hours, so you are more than welcome to drop in and out for as little or long as you are able :)

[@eoins671]

Looking forward to it, great idea!

[@terenceocallaghan5639]

Hope all goes well ! Sounds like a real marathon although I know u will achieve your goal 🙏🏼

[@terenceocallaghan5639]

500 hymns at 1 min per hymn will take 8hrs 20mins without any pauses or comfort breaks etc .... good luck Richard & Caroline 👍👍

Background music: 0:01Charles Wesley's great love divine,all love excelling. 03:53 Forty days and forty nights

[@beautyinsound]

Love divine was played live during a VC, and may be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i32nYph5g56omc0 :)

[@abraham.j]

@@beautyinsound Yes sir and I also took part in that VC..!!

[@jerrymartin79]

Fantastic project! Very much looking forward to tuning in as much as possible :)

[@beautyinsound]

Thanks Jerry - it wouldn't be a live BIS without seeing you in the live chat! :) :)

[@smoothsilk47]

Looking forward to hearing you Richard, maybe one day I’ll hear you live in a Cathedral, that would be great, enjoy Truro. John ( smoothsilk )

[@beautyinsound]

I do play in various cathedrals regularly, so I expect that you'll hear me in no time! :)

[@ralphchou4719]

Like Doug, I will drop in periodically throughout the day (thanks for the advice, Richard) to see how you are getting along. This will be a real test of whether the new specs give you the needed relief for looking at the music. Good luck, and see you on Sunday!

[@beautyinsound]

Yes, it will be interesting to see how my eyes feel whilst wearing the new specs! I'm still getting used to them. I'd be thrilled if you could pop in periodically throughout the day :)

[@dougalderdice6796]

Looking forward to this! I will definitely be dropping in and out ... your start time will be 3 AM on the east coast USA (we change time that night, too!) so sadly I will miss the Advent and Christmas portion live. I might get up a wee bit earlier than usual, though! PS: Bonus points for Blaenwern for the background music in the first part!

[@beautyinsound]

At least you'll be able to listen back to the Advent and Christmas section of NEH afterwards. Infact, one of the great things about live streaming is the ability to rewind, so you can watch the Advent section as soon as you wake up if you like :)

[@RalphLooij]

That is very nice! Since I'm from The Netherlands, I'm unfortunately not very familiar with the English Hymns (more Genevan Psalter, no shame in that). This MUST be the best place to start getting to know them.

[@beautyinsound]

Thanks Ralph - it'll be great to have you listening at various points throughout the day, and I'll appreciate your chat in the 'live chat'! :)

[@mattleach958]

I'll be there for the live duration, from California. What a wonderful way to have a Sunday. ( My time from 2 PM Sunday to 3 AM Monday.) Well worth it! We''ll learn the entire basic NEH ! Recorded forever. Yay! I promise not to distract the congregation in "live chat" with conversation concerning any cats, socks, candles, babies, tuba stops, and food fights with cakes in the choir loft "naughty corner". I only hope Hauptwerk crashes once in awhile so that Richard has a bit of time to visit the loo. And please send lots of money for the baby. And also the console. York!

[@beautyinsound]

It'll be great to have you supporting me Matt! Please DO distract the congregation in the live chat - it'll help me to keep going knowing that there are people chatting away! :)

[@mattleach958]

In that case, if Hauptwerk crashes, or if you need to go to the loo, I'll just distract the congregation by saying that Caroline just felt a strong kick in her tummy, or that Nala and Bobbie are waiting to be fed. But the question still remains: "Oak or Mahogany for the new console cabinet?" Hee hee.

[@jonathanp935]

Can you play the complete bach organ works for a marathon?

[@beautyinsound]

I’m going to play all Six Trio Sonatas in a recital later in the year if that counts? Currently working my way through them, but I’ve already performed No 1 and No 2 will be online in 2 weeks 😊

[@jonathanp935]

that'll count

[@hautboisdamour2199]

Can we sponsor a particular stop used in a hymn or is that too hard to track? For instance, could I sponsor the Tuba on Alessandria for Hymn #209 "Christ is made the sure foundation"?

[@shipsbells]

What if it runs longer than 12 hours. I remember last time you had to cut off slightly prior to 12 hrs or KZbin would not allow it to be replayed.

[@StoryAngel]

I've been wondering this too!

[@caroline.balfour]

We’ll start a second stream if that happens, nothing will be lost 😊

[@beautyinsound]

If it goes over 11 hours and 55 minutes (which it probably will) then I'll need to set up a second video, meaning there'll be a part 1 and part 2. It shouldn't be a problem :)

[@jnmusic9969]

Can someone tell me the hymn he played at the very end of the video

[@ruairi_d]

It's Forty Days and Forty Nights (Aus Der Tiefe). Richard posted it a few days ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5eQgZKKqKasipI

[@abraham.j]

I'm dying for tutorials of yours sir!!

[@beautyinsound]

More to come! What kind of tutorials would you like to see?

[@abraham.j]

@@beautyinsound I'd like to improve my sight seeing and finger movements sir!!

[@lucasmetzler]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🇧🇷

[@patriciamaguire9914]

I will sponsor "tell out my soul" :) :) :) How much are we in for?

[@beautyinsound]

Great choice!! We have a lot of money to raise for the new organ, but I’ll leave the sponsorship amount to you 😊

[@franciscotiagodejesuslopes6527]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏🙌

[@dnbeckmann]

bored through the whole? no! :-)

[@beautyinsound]

Perhaps I should sponsor my listeners as a challenge to stay for the entire thing!! ;)
