The Barnes and Mullins harmonium must be thrilled to be playing the World Premier of Maton’s Dreaming, Beethoven’s Funeral March, movingly played during the late Queen’s funeral procession, and Handel’s Water Music. Ben’s crusade for unloved churches and organs should become nationwide. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Ben, Just so you know… I have been liking and sharing your videos. A friend from church asked me if I was looking for an old foot pump organ. Actually, I wasn’t but I’ve wanted to learn to play keyboards. He has an old organ and offered to give it to me FOR FREE! His wife, who passed some time ago, bought it many years ago and he has no use for it. My goal is to play hymns and play my favorite: Be Still My Soul (tune by Sibelius). Your videos bring me peace. Thank you. Keep up the good work.i appreciate you.

That was beautiful, as usual. At risk of making you conceited, I have to say, once again, that every week your videos get better and better. Having said this, I have to admit that I often go back and rewatch Bach to Basics and my other old favourites. The cat will give up on you - denied another car ride! I once drove halfway to a friend’s with the neighbour’s cat in the back seat before I noticed it. He must have jumped in the open window! I had no idea that many of the churches you have visited were renovated by the Victorians. This one is gorgeous and it’s obviously loved and well taken care of. It doesn’t sound like you enjoy Billy’s love of fishing. One of my uncles was big fan. I once went with him and various cousins. We sat there for ever. My cousin, Christine, sat on an ants nest. I complained about being bored and was told that was how fishing was. Sitting doing nothing. Liz❤

I don't know what the residents in the graves in the churchyard would have made of all this new fangled music, but to me it seemed to be a wonderful celebration of all the people through the ages who have prayed in that church, been christened, confirmed, married or had their funeral their. That small church is like a time machine that set off for the future in Saxon times and is still travelling forward, and the music you played was a wonderful event in the journey.

One of my favourite finds at these old churches and other ancient buildings is the graffiti, often etched into the stone or wood, and seeing initials and dates from hundreds of years ago. Often you can find medieval crosses carved into the stone by pilgrims, usually around the door entrance, or even witches' marks. You're right to say that such things do bring home the age of these places. I guess Ben has enough on his plate but keeping an eye out for and focusing upon such details should be on his agenda in my humble opinion, for that very reason..

I was struck with the Elizabeth Regina decoration on the wall to the right of the altar. To think that during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the building was already 200 years old. So much history there (in what is left of the building). Billy ought to have come along. The room's acoustic is perfect for his guitar. I do not mean to sound insulting or impertinent, but in your video from Stert where you played a bit of "Dreaming" I was struck with a vague recognition of the melody. I was wracking my brain to figure out what it was. After singing it in my head, I got some words, but I still could not place the song. As you were playing "Dreaming" in its entirety, it finally came to me. It vaguely reminds me of R.E.M.'s song "Everybody Hurts." I like "Dreaming" and it is perfect for the mourning and soulful sound of the harmonium. How appropriate that a church named for St. Peter is in a fishing town. The story told in The Gospel of John when Jesus appeared to the disciples the third time after the resurrection. I am glad for you and the harmonium in its ability to allow you to play in these rooms without instruments. Pax vobiscum.

Thank you so much, Ben! I enjoyed "Dreaming". I let a sign loose and relaxed. I am in New Hampshire. My dream from the 1st grade was to live in England. Dreams do come true and I lived 4 years in Yorkshire teaching violin to wonderful children. After returning to the USA I played a pump organ at North Sandwich quaker Meeting (not nearly as fine and musical as yourself). The present building was built in 1881, but I do not know when the organ was added, although it is old. How I wish I could hear you play it! It is two manual. Being a violinist, I did not really quite know what I was doing and after hearing you play I realize that I did not know what this beautiful instrument could do. I particularly like the tempo of the Water Music by Handel. Thank you for the best "Battle Hymn"I I have ever heard. The places, history, music and poetry you present is a special time to me.

Gratulálok kedves Ben, hogy rövid időn belül új tartalmas érzelmekben gazdag videót szerkesztett a követők örömére!😇 Kedvelem a mosollyal teljes arcát, a címoldalon! Kedvelem a mosolyt, és kacagást amikor a harmónium "baby"-t bemutatod.. .Köszönöm, hogy láthattam a tekintélyt tiszteletet kiérdemlő Szent Péter ősi templomot. A harmónium hangja lenyűgöző, a zenei játékod varázslatos, zene választásod illeszkedik az ősi templom hangulatához ebben a templomban is. Zeneműved, előadásod, harmónium játékod, leleményes videószerkesztésed tökéletesen bizonyítja sokoldolúságod, tehetséged. Júl 4-én amikor feltetted a videót, nem volt időm megtekinteni, mert kaptam egy zarándok utazási meghívást a helyi katolikus atyától, de alig vártam, hogy láthassam. Nagyváradra- Romániába utaztunk 8-an egy kis busszal. Az egynapos úton templomokat látogattunk meg, és két vértanú pap emléke előtt tisztelegtünk.Miközben zarándokoltunk, arra gondoltam, milyen szép lenne, ha a hitükben kitartó papok, vagy más emberek akik kiérdemlik a tiszteletet, az ő emlékük méltó bemutatásra kerülne, hasonlóképpen egy videófilmben, ahogy Ben teszi. A szegedi Levente atya könyvet írt az egyik vértanú lelkész Györgypál Albert emlékére, amelyben feltárja életét, és ez is egy jó módja az emlékük őrzésének A vértanú lelkész" Jézusi korban" 33 évesen hunyt el. Az ő idejében a politikai viszonyok nem engedték hogy szabadon felszólaljon az elnyomás ellen. A nagyváradi börtönben súlyosan bántalmazták, ami végül a halálát okozta. Hűséges volt Istenhez, hitéhez, emberszeretete, cselekedeteiben nyilvánult meg. Kedves Ben hálásan köszönöm áldásaid. A Szent Péter templom belső tere, hangulata nagyon hasonlít egy magyarországi 13.századi temlomra, amely Sarlós Boldogasszony tiszteletére szenteltek, és mi katolikusok július 2-án ünnepeltünk. Szeretettel küldöm a videót mert úgy érzem a két templom ösiségében összekapcsolható. Thank You! God bless you!kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnfFpXljbql6Z7c ❣💫💙🕊🌿🙏

Such a BEAUTIFUL little piece! Have you written it down yet? I'm writing it down solely for the purpose of the exercise of transcription from screen to paper (NOTHING MORE, please don't worry). To me it sounded like a perfect Largo movement sandwiched between two other "con moto"-like movements for a complete composition called Dreamscape Concerto No. 1 for Organ! This piece fits the feeling and the mood of these little churches SO well. I enjoy history. Never stop bringing England's village histories to us. I can relate to these villages you show us because I, myself, live out in the country and I attend a small country church just down the road from me.
