NEW SAMPLE SET! Graham Twist's Idyll on the Steinmeyer organ from Landau St. Maria (Hauptwerk)

Graham Twist (‪@grahamtwist‬) only writes fantastic music. He even dedicated two of his wonderful pieces to me! But out of all of his fantastic pieces, this one is the most close to my heart. It's loved by many! You can find several renditions on KZbin, including my own Channel. for this one I used the BRAND NEW sample set from the Steinmeyer organ in Landau from Piotr Grabowski. I played it with the gorgeous strings from three combined divisions. I want this rendition to sound silky smooth and perfect legato like a string concerto played by the Mantovani Orchestra. I hope you like this one. Let me know!
Fun fact: I played this piece 4 months ago with the Stahlhut/Jan organ from Dudelange with a comparable registration. It’s up to you to decide which strings you prefer: • Stahlhuth|Jann organ D...
(And yes, you can help me keep investing in my Channel by become a member or buying me some coffees!)
For the best listening experience, I recommend using headphones, earbuds, or a hi-fi set. The sound dynamics of the pipe organ are truly remarkable and can be fully appreciated with high-quality audio equipment.
Played with the 1924 Steinmeyer organ from the Stadtpfarrkirche St. Maria in Landau in der Pfalz, Germany (Hauptwerk)

Great, Rien. The best piece I've ever learned! I am grateful to Graham daily for this piece.

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! It’s for certain one of the most beautiful pieces in my repertoire too!

[@grahamtwist]

I am overwhelmed by such a kind comment! If this music brings you pleasure, then I am truly rewarded!

[@remi-chapalain]

Very beautiful ! Idyll sounds awesome with this registration

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks Rémi!

[@albertoguerzoni]

Stunning organ, very beautiful and expressive performance.

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks a lot!

[@grahamtwist]

Fabulous, Rien! I'm so deeply honoured! Such a beautiful performance on your gorgeous new sample set. You are 'Idyll King' for certain: how blessed am I! Bravo!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks Graham. Your piece sounds fine on any instrument but certainly on this one too!

[@RoDi01]

Every time I try out a new organ (recently in Remagen, near Fraser) this piece of yours is my absolute test for the flutes. I'm also planning it for my organ exam. It's definitely your Masterpiece, Graham! I'm so happy that you left it to me every day.

[@philippelegargean5120]

It is so pleasant to hear this beautiful composition again.

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks Philippe!

[@organgoesheavy]

Beautiful, you really have what it takes! this piece suits you and also the sample set!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks. I can play this beautiful piece each day. :-)

[@ClaraOrgan]

This interpretation and performance goes well with this sample set. How passionate the last chord is! Thanks! Rien😍😍😍

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks a lot Clara!

[@gerhardflink5599]

Schönes Stück und wunderbar vorgetragen. liebe grüße und einen schönen Restsonntag. Gerd

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Dank Gerd!

[@james.flores]

Wow congratulations on your new sample set and it’s always fitting to have Graham’s piece as the premiere!

[@SecretsofOrganPlaying]

I was going to write exactly the same so I won’t repeat your words❤ Please play Idyll with any new organ or sample set you try!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! :-)

[@RienSchalkwijk]

I was hesitating between this one and Easy Fanfare! 👻

[@SecretsofOrganPlaying]

@@RienSchalkwijk you conveniently forget Tranquility 😂

[@MarkusDrejaOrganist]

A sample set with so much 8'. My new sample, too. Perfect for your style and and a 100 percent Steinmeyer 👍

[@RienSchalkwijk]

It’s a great set indeed! Especially for subtile works! A lot of colours to choose from.

[@nilsvanvelzen]

Weer een leuke sampleset in je collectie. Mooie string geluiden.

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Dank Nils! Morgen de zelfde sample set maar dan full organ!

[@nilsvanvelzen]

@@RienSchalkwijk Ben benieuwd. Nu kan ik googlen maar neem aan een mooi Romantisch orgel?

[@intermezzo-musikalischestr2987]

Again a beautiful piece for the evening - but unfortunately not for my small organs. But your "Domande lente" and Jan's "You'll never walk alone" worked quite good at today's confirmation service ...

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! This you can do on a one manual organ with just a flute 8 without any problem. It’s a beautiful piece! And thanks for playing my piece!

[@beni4136]

Beautiful discovery ! well played ! Any link for that score ? thanks

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Just send a mail to [e-mail]. He is happy to send to copy!

[@melvinpotts3239]

@@RienSchalkwijk thanks for mentioning that. I just sent him an e mail ? for copy of the piece. Have done that a couple of times in past and Graham has sent the pieces. I've played them at my church..nice works!

[@aBachwardsfellow]

Quite lovely -- both the composition and registration. Somehow the strings sound more broadly-scaled -- more like those of an English organ.

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! The strings are a bit warmer I think.

[@sverrearnebrandal8373]

"Your organs" sound better than all the rest, I think the reason is you never "tweak" them.

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Hahaha. Thanks. I take the sample sets as is indeed. You can tweak each organ to perfection. You can even let the sample sets sound all the same. But the charm of music is craftsmanship and emotions, not perfection. :-)
