"Jesus Christ is Risen Today, Alleluia!"

1968 Reuter Organ; Corpus Christi Catholic Church

[@kajmarcussen1]

I've watched a million times and still can't get enough.

[@jamesalston381]

This young man is outstanding. Very creative and the way he played this Easter classic is like none other. The congregation and choir can lift their voices on Easter Sunday and proclaim that Christ the is Risen today Hallelujah! keep up the great work!

[@schmarcie]

Amen! I love to hear that there are younger people [I'm 47] who appreciate traditional hymns. Nothing contemporary compares to the sound of an old fashioned hymn played on a church organ. There are still churches that have traditional worship services. Seek and ye shall find. :) May God bless you and I hope that you have a blessed Easter.

[@0276boy]

Thank you so much for this! What a beautiful rendition of my favorite Easter hymn. I can not get through Mass without crying when I (try to) sing this through. The organist looks like one of my soccer players in high school!

[@stonent]

I play this video every easter morning since I've found it.

[@danielstaniszewski172]

Do you still play it every Easter?

[@francois7]

@@danielstaniszewski172 Would be interesting to know !

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

This reminds me a LOT of the old guy that used to play the great cathedral organ at the Crystal Cathedral back in the day.. could even be one of his arrangements.. it's superb playing of a superb arrangement!

[@dpodsful]

Love the unintentional underwear slip right at the beginning when you slide onto the bench!

[@CanuckGamer33]

Great work pal, I've heard this hymn in many churches on many organs in my life, and I'm happy to tell you that your rendition is among the best! Keep up the good work!

[@hardygirl51]

I thought I had this video on my favorites list and I couldn't find it for today so I typed it in a song title search and am glad I found it. It's staying on my list now......this jams!!!

[@kksd2]

You are very talented ! You did an EXCELLENT job on my favorite Hymm. You can search: Jesus Christ is Risen Today Notre Dame and see another version .... Your's is GREAT !

[@johnfenner347]

Very Moving And Beautifully Played. Greetings From Scotland.

[@kevlutu]

[@pipeorganpraise]

And all GOD's people said, "WOW!" Very nice trill as you close that flutters the soul to be joyful, joyful. Your next stop should be Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in L.A.! BRAVO!ENCORE!

[@raygonzales5738]

Thank you, one of the most beautiful renditions that I have heard of this great hymn. Congratulations on bringing out its majestic sounds.

[@theflounderman01]

This guy has talent on loan from God!

[@ltk04gt]

Way to go dude!! This is one of my favorite Easter Hymns. I could listen to this 1000 times and not get bored of it. The way you play, the stops you use and the improvisation you put in is amazingly AWESOME!! I am also an organist at my church in Oakbank, Manitoba, Canada and i like to try adding stuff to hymns when i play them. Some times it's not always successful but at least i try. haha. So well done!! Please make more. cheers!

[@Firewoman888]

Beautiful. Alleluah, He is risen, Alleluah

[@WinifredOdriscoll]

Really awesome!

[@Christine.Colbert]

Oh my goodness! And you're so young! *Thank you!!!*

[@mikerosser4349]

How old are you? Love seeing young people take an interest in such a classic piece of American History. Great hymn played VERY WELL!

[@artseed9458]

I play your video every morning at full volume. No other rendition comes close!

[@kyleknickelbein525]

This is honestly the best video on KZbin of this hymn. You bring that organ to life man! Well-done! And that key change...wow!

[@salvation9868]

Amen!

[@LuisPerez-be4ts]

Beautiful.that organist is great .very intensive.i like it.god bless him.

[@jameslinde3029]

He plays better than people playing many more years.

[@1wangi01]

I am preparing to fly to the USA from Germany soon and look forward to attending an Easter Service in CA and singing this most beautiful hymn at Eastern.

[@Jm4steam]

Wonderful!!!! Nice bass tones.

[@ajoseph2345]

still can't get over this

[@iljorgeadrian]

DUDE!!! This is awesome!

[@usdeutschlandamerica1992]

Our old Organist could play like this. God how I miss her. So many today drag these songs out and it’s depressing. These are hymns of praise!

[@Ringlord3434]

this is, hands down, my favorite rendition of my favorite Easter hymn. Great job!

[@Totalfog]

Talented and tasteful. Can't ask for more than that.

[@aslscott78]

John Newell stop flirting u gay bottom

[@Totalfog]

Chester Izzy You need help.

[@RogwinMusic]

You could get the title right....... jus sayin.

[@alantaylor7646]

Absolutely hellish. Ghastly organ, and hopeless organist. He has so much to learn

[@organnut]

Absolutely stunning performance of this glorious Easter Hymn Brent! Love your trumpet 1st verse introduction. Your registrations give the inspiration this hymn demands. You are truly an awesome organist! :o)) Many a congregation would kill to have you sat at their organ bench! The 1968 Reuter pipe organ is wonderful. Sadly, I wasn't there to hear it live!! Ignore the non constructive commenters. Please post and share more of your magnificent talent. Best Wishes, Roy

[@jameshall5832]

organnut -name of organist ? Reply :[e-mail] thx

[@jameshall5832]

Anyone know name of this Organist? Reply:[e-mail]

[@chickenfarm09]

I love your video today Alleluia!

[@begs54]

As a child, this how I remember my church organist blasting this hymn out in an old New England white congregationl church in Easter Sunday morning. It still give me goose pimples... wONDERFUL!!!!

[@RobCharles1981]

That was very good a nice fanfare trumpet too!!

[@iandavidhenderson]

I really like the use of the trumpet reeds in this rendition. This would be a most uplifting performance to lead a congregation. They would be thrilled as I was to hear it.

[@destry232]

Thanks for posting this great video of your excellent playing!

[@barefootinroann]

very good! I like the modulation and descant on the last verse - normally I'm a singer in the congregation (many in Church don't sing), but this is the kind of playing that would make me want to stop singing and listen... I can almost feel the vibrations from the organ on my computer :-) Nicely done.

[@patrickraffaele9563]

Fantastic ! really beautiful , thank you !

[@mimiwilliams8918]

Omg!!!! Beautiful 😍😍😍😍

[@iandavidhenderson]

The Reuter organ has an impressive sound. I enjoyed this rendition of such a great hymn of the church. I hope more postings come from "brestull". Thank you for this enjoyable posting.

[@JohnHerrick1987]

This song is already amazing and the way you play it is simply superb! It definitely got me stoked to hear it at Easter Mass! Happy Easter and keep up the great work man!

[@TheGrabasa1]

Where is the "LOVE" button when a girl needs one? Beautiful organ music, young man

[@travisbennett50]

This is a beautiful song. And, the organist played it quite well. Bravo.

[@theflounderman01]

You are extremely talented. It's a gift from God. You are Awesome. Wow

[@rsoflehi]

Excellent! Thanks for posting.

[@rhywe]

I come back to this youtube video every year to listen. This post of this Song is the best version on youtube. Thank you brestull.

[@kksd2]

Excellent ! You are very talented Brent! I always looked forward to hearing this hymn at the Easter Vigil at Guardian Angel's Church (in all places, Las Vegas!)

[@hoover1060]

WOW!!! You play very well!!! The congregation you lead singing will raise the roof!!! Very nice!

[@ernestmskinner]

Very nicely done. I've never had an encounter with a Reuter organ except for your vid.

[@flobtheblob]

wow. it's becoming rare to see someone this young actually know how to play an organ this well

[@srdude5491]

Good job! One of my favorites... You're a very talented young man Happy Easter!.

[@longboardjeff]

Fantastic! I may just have to come back and listen to this again. Thanks!

[@johne6081]

You do justice to one of the greatest hymn tunes ever written. Thank you for posting!

[@brucegiannetti53]

He is so good. Thank you for this music.

[@irkibby]

I go to Coventry Cathedral on Easter Sunday's not because of any paticularly strong religious convictions, but because their rendition of this hymn that day is always face meltingly fantastic.

[@frank0001000]

Just found this in looking for music for my Mother's memorial service and absolutely LOVED it. I think this would be terrific as the postlude!! Thanks so much for recording and making this available.

[@triciakasper8003]

Oh!! This was the most beautiful version I've ever heard this Glorious song played. Oh I have chills....breathtaking. The musician was absolutely 💯 outstanding!!!

[@andrewcarey5359]

I hope one day I can play that instrument playing piano at the moment

[@jordantrevayne]

Wonderfully played! I love how you did the first verse. I'm thinking of arranging a piano/ organ duet with the piano doing the lines and the organ doing the refrain of "Hallelujah!"

[@kiddnormal]

Great playing and articulation! Also love the boot- cut jeans!

[@Organsk8er]

Wow...more please! The Trumpet and the 32' Bombarde in this organ are really something to talk about!!

[@stan55571]

I love it! very majestic

[@journeyinjoy]

So powerful and glorious! Praise God!

[@gleitma]

GREAT playing! Trumpet call for all to come and worship the King of the Universe!

[@raygonzales7132]

Thank you, by far the most beautiful rendition I have heard! Congratulations!

[@bwadykstra]

how encouraging to see a young Catholic guy, like myself, is a musician and shares a love of traditional music.....

[@D.Marquez88]

awesome song!!! great to see another person likes to play with their shoes off... I feel like I would go and touch the wrong notes... done that many times before. Great tempo, and LOVE the prelude you did with it!! Really adds something to the song with it!

[@jeffprice118]

And all the people say Amen!

[@johnchristiansen3144]

Beautiful beautiful

[@CatchMySmile]

So I watch this video ALL THE TIME!!! It's my favorite song from church when I was little :-D

[@amandanutt8163]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fab!!

[@dsbassoon]

Wonderful Job!!!!!!!!!!

[@parisalan1]

When you went so full on verse 3, I was afraid you wouldn't have anywhere to go on 4, but looks like I didn't have to worry. Nice abrupt modulation too Thanks!

[@alexanderjones7414]

great skill and talent, wonderful

[@jmcgatkinson]

This is really worth listening to Easter Sunday, year after year. It has the full energetic spirit that Easter means. Thank you for the the post, and please post more. Greetings from Adelaide, South Australia.

[@jasminetiteca]

This is THEE best Easter hymn. Great organ playing!!

[@ThePCLMusic]

Most of my background is in more contemporary music, but I love to hear a joyous, celebratory organ solo. I only wish I could play it. This is great!

[@MarkyBoy36]

This brought tears to my eyes this Easter 2019 morning. God bless!

[@joanscott9465]

Wow...am speechless. Thank you young man!

[@califdad4]

very nice. My Episcopal Church has a small Reuter(1980) it sounded very nice, but we are moving to a larger facility and its too small, so we are doing a hybred Reuter/Allen. thanks for posting , really enjoyed hearing you play

[@timo201282]

still my favourite!! :) :*

[@aslscott78]

Icks Ypsilon stop flirting

[@chrisg0619]

Sounds great! And that organ looks like it would be a lot of fun to play. One tip: Don't be afraid to give yourself time before and after you play! It will give you a stronger start and a more dramatic finish--especially in the acoustical sense, after you release the last chord. But very nice playing!!

[@SCS9870]

Wow! Awesome.

[@Georgiaorganist]

Excellent!!!

[@dutchgroup4556]

Its a week before Easter 2020 and I noticed this video has over 220,000 views! That's incredible.... until you listen to it. Its tremendous. The video was made 11 years ago, but could have been made yesterday. Great hymns age well!

[@georgebbopper]

I like an organist that isn't afraid to use reed stops. Trompettes en chamade sound good. Nice job!!

[@DavidHarrisonmusic]

This was excellent! Post more!

[@tomm2271]

Brilliant!

[@brehans8776]

Amazing!

[@stonent]

I think this just may be my favorite of all youtube videos.

[@MoonNew1990]

Magnifica interpretacion , todo un artista

[@dwmn27]

Awesome! So majestic. Praise the LORD!

[@jwabjgfoot]

OUTSTANDING, ALWAYS BRINGS MY SPIRITS UP TO HEAR THIS ORGANIST AND SONG PLAYED.

[@timothyj1966]

one of the nicest hymns... he is a really nice looking kid too.. well done

[@salvation9868]

This young man is blessed, indeed!

[@yowza214]

Not being a church going person myself, I'd sure join your church if you played like that every Sunday. Hopefully the pastor is as good as you. Excellent.

[@2001yamaharider]

GREAT JOB ! Best i have heard in a LONG TIME!!!!

[@philharris53]

Played exactly as it was meant. It's a beautiful instrument and skillfully played!

[@speaks3703]

This organ has a great deal of power behind it! Splendid playing!

[@MusicBear51]

When are you going to bless us us with more videos? I have served in many churches over the years, and your version of this powerful hymn, is the best I have ever heard. I have shared this video with organist friends around the world, and they are in as much awe as I am. As a young organist, you have a wonderful gift & talent. I hope you will continue to share your gift with others. Peace & Blessings
