Joy of Music Original Pilot Episode (1982) Part 1 - Diane Bish

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

THANK YOU! I am 70 now and it just occurs to me that I have been seeing your outstanding programs off and on most of my adult life. What a great contribution you have made to organ music and classical music as a whole. Now that I have found this channel I have seen this terrific pilot episode, I plan to watch ALL the shows available on KZbin and remember my life at various stages as I have seen some programs over the years.

God bless you, Diane. I recall seeing and meeting George Beverly Shea and Solomon King just days after starting my organ studies as a kid.

Beautiful music performed by a beautiful woman.

The console showed in this episode is the original Ruffatii console the organ was rebuilt and expanded in 1987 and it got a new console following the first of two rebuilds the second rebuild took place in 2004 and again in 2013

Very good presentation.

[@debhayes2822]

Diane Bish has terrific technique! Absolutely awesome,

[@miltonvoight3374]

Amazing the complexity of a pipe organ and the ability to harness it is like driving a starship through the galaxy. She must be linked up with the almightly to make that kind of beautiful music.

[@AngusOnkel]

[@glenm5034]

[@rock9529]

This is the only way to make me believe in God! How great she is!😊

[@glenm5034]

Awesome Venue

Looks like Coral Ridge's organ had a different console back then. Look at the newer episodes of The Joy of Music and you'll see what I mean. I bet they expanded or modernized the instrument.

[@fansofdianebish]

Rodgers built a new console in 1989.

[@bombarde1701a]

And has since added several digital ranks.

[@joshuamiller-le753]

and several physical ranks

[@gerrellewilson9228]

She needs to do an organ duo with Dr. twinkie clark (the queen of gospel music and the Hammond organ)

[@arthurserino2254]

I like the younger, more conservative Diane Bish!

[@kennethervin3372]

God of Our Fathers

[@yondertz]

Hi! I hope someone can tell me the title of the 2nd hymn-tune she played. Thank you in advance!

[@fansofdianebish]

God of our Fathers

Sorry, I just had to laugh - very old memories "... and the melodies of J. S. Bach ... " ( camera shot of all the stops popping out )

[@apattavina]

Did she call it the Joy in Music?

[@ayerskevin]

What is the name of the first song that she plays on the organ
