May their marriage be as long and beautiful as that musical masterpiece, and then some.

So fortuneate to have such a great organist.

[@NoelCampbell-e2l]

Wonderful to hear such a gem being so well played in church wedding! What a pity the invited guests did not seem to appreciate it .

[@TrinityDivineMozart]

That is a absolutely wonderful wedding march, The Lord loves it. 😇🙏🎼

[@MarkThomas820]

Loud and bright - thank you. If this a parish organ then kudos to you and those involved in its construction.

[@Arkelk2010]

What a great gift to your brother.

[@johannkieser5006]

This is majestic music never to be forgotten on such a special day and as brothers you just established an even stronger, loving bond. I have a 3-year older brother but he means nothing to me.

[@andrewgreenwood8554]

Great performance. How wonderful to be able to do that at your brother’s wedding.

[@alanboyd2953]

Lucky brother😊

[@JHarryF]

Great choice for the triumphant recessional. Tell us about the organ.

[@jchristfjell]

Thanks. Google translate about the organ from the church website: The organ in Lillesand is originally an August Nielsen organ from 1889. Nielsen also built organs for Kristiansand Cathedral, Grimstad Church and Arendal Trinity Church. The organ then had 14 voices and served for 94 years. The church's new organ was inaugurated on 9 October. 1983 and was built by Eystein Gangfløt orgelbyggeri / Jan Ryde, Fredrikstad. The organ appears today with new voices and the best voices from the Nielsen organ. (as well as a 16` Bordun from Feda church, given as a gift). The new organ has 25 voices divided between 2 manuals and a pedal and contains approx. 2000 pipes.

And you played damnn good ! While almost no one applauded!

[@willrobinson1229]

Wonderful performance! Bravo!

[@jchristfjell]

@@willrobinson1229 thank you!

[@francois7]

Amazing ! You played it really well ! I'm sure your brother was very happy 😀

[@gijzje]

Well played one of the better, Just a pity the visitors made such noise.. but understandable kudo's to you

[@jchristfjell]

Thank you! But I guess the problem was more the mic than the crowd. In reality the organ tutti isn't drowned out by the crowd, but mixes well like a rock concert with a roaring audience.

[@7649angel]

Good job!

[@petrifi1]

Widor! ❤️❤️

[@Austin8thGenTexan]

Great song - very well played! Is this church building in Scandinavia ? 🤔

[@jchristfjell]

Thank you! Correct, this is Lillesand Church in Norway.

[@johannkieser5006]

It is not a song!!!

[@Neko-qx3iu]

​@@johannkieser5006 You are correct. It is a musical masterpiece!

[@saracabete6049]

I wish you were my brother 😂

[@magesterium2485]

You played well although distraction from the over excited wedding guests who at times were louder then yourself.

[@jchristfjell]

@@magesterium2485 thanks, they were not really that loud, I guess it's rather bad mic compression.

[@johannkieser5006]

The wedding guests did not attend to listen to the music = it is a celebration and generally such an occasion people are louder than usual.

[@vittoriobacchiega9118]

The recording was at ground level but the organist hear primarly the instrument above his head😅

[@kiimmaritz2827]

Not very polite to shout like that in church...

[@jchristfjell]

@@kiimmaritz2827 it's fair they got to cheer for the couple, I guess bad mic make it sound worse than it actually was.
