I had the privilege to hear Virgil play this in person. Wonderful piece.

I had the privilege of meeting Virgil Fox; what an amazing man with wonderful personality and great performance skills.

My Father, a 90 year old retired Lutheran Pastor, reminded me of German Lutheran Pastor and Hymnist Martin Rinkart's sacrifices during the Thirty Years' War and the severe Bubonic Plague of 1637. In spite of the hardships of his career, Pastor Rinkart continued to have a thankful reverence for God. His prayer, "Nun danket alle Gott", is the most famous of his hymns. During this COVID-19 pandemic, your performance of "Now Thank We All Our God" is an important reminder that we should be thankful of the blessings God has bestowed upon mankind.

Love this piece. Heard Virgil play it live in concert. You do it justice and represent 3:06 3:07 3:10 his intentions as a composer. Thank you. ❤

Sometimes you find the most beautifull organs in smaller cities most people never heard of. Wonderful church and beautifull organ !

Wonderful playing and fearless, aggressive registration - the organist is certainly not afraid of the instrument! I would love to hear this in person.

Pity one cant see your fingers and footwork. Still magnificent

[@arthurschipper8906]

I was made fun for making a request of this for my my mom's funeral. Still trying to figure that one out.

[@gjlander100]

I want it at my funeral. Just right !!!

[@johnanderson3700]

A lot of folks used to criticize Virgil because he didn’t stick to the narrow academic approach to the organ. I wager though he is better remembered than most of the stuffy shirts.
