This guy had me cheering, wonderfully done

[@cathykrueger4899]

I grew up in a small New England church with a magnificent pipe organ in the choir loft at the back of the church. I sang in the children’s choir and we practiced in the loft with the pipe organ, played by a wonderfully talented woman from Estonia. We all loved her. No church has ever felt as inspirational and reverent since then. We learned to sing our best, harmonize, and pour our very souls into our anthems. That organ was one of life’s greatest gifts to me. It was a bond among friends, a powerful connection to all that is holy, an instrument of praise, and a memory I will always cherish. I heard the Hallelujah Chorus played on it many times.

[@kenmohler4081]

I belonged to this church when I lived in Washington. I never heard this organ played better than this. Thanks.

[@rebeccaharrison2968]

So wonderful to see a young person so accomplished at playing this amazing instrument!

Thank you Handel and Paul

[@steffensindermann3220]

Hey, lieber Paul. Klasse Orgel, klasse Musik! Deine Darbietung war wieder gnadenlos genial. Uns die Basstöne liebe ich besonders. Danke Dir für die Vorführung. Die Musik klingt noch weiter in meinen Ohren. Liebe Grüße und noch angenehme Arbeit an der Orgel wünscht Dir Steffen.

[@janeradulski3153]

Dear Paul- all my life people have laughed at me for playing in my socks - and then i find that you too! You are absolutely awesome!!!!!!

[@elnanaude5694]

Forgive me for overreacting and commenting again but this combination of Händel, Paul Fey and the Möller organ is excellent, I love it 👌 ❤

[@nancymercer3756]

[@cheetah-kb5rc]

Beautiful! I love watching the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing it🎵🎶

[@accousticdecay]

Fantastic rendition! I attended a service there about 30 years ago, and during one of the hymns I heard authentic hand-bells behind and above; they were in cabinets, whose doors had opened automatically when the stop was pulled. After the service, I took a guided tour of the church, and upon returning to the sanctuary, the organist was rolling back a carved partition that hid the organist from view of the congregation, and was awestruck by the 5-manual console. I talked a short while with the organist and he offered to let me play it! I played my go-to college recital piece, Chaconne en Sol, by Louis Couperin, which gave me opportunity to utilize several of the manuals. I RUE that I lacked the chutzpah to pull some big reeds at the end! One other remark: I remember, between the last two pillars on both sides are offset chests supporting the huge 32' open diapason pipes; I could see the mitered tops. Are they behind the guilded pipes?

[@WDHOOD2]

Unfortunately, this instrument doesn’t have a 32’ Open Diapason rank of pipes. What you might have seen would have been the 32’ Untersatz, which is one of the finest examples of that stop in DC. What would be the 32’ Open Wood stop you mentioned are Walker Digital pedal extensions.

[@accousticdecay]

@@WDHOOD2 Thanks for the correction. I am old, with memory like denim jeans - faded with holes.

[@mawi5512]

Es ist jedesmal ein riesiges Vergnügen, dir beim Spielen zuzuhören und zuzusehen, einfach erstklassig, ganz speziell dieses Stück. Herzliche Gratulation.

[@XY_Dude]

yay Moller and Paul!! This is a killer track. Saving to "Good" folder! (I'll be listening off and on for quite a while)

[@StoreeDenson]

Can't wait! This organ was originally a 50 rank EM Skinner Organ during the 30s. My organ teacher commissioned Möller to build a 4 manual organ in 1976. Then, in 1985, it became the first 5 manual organ in DC. Simon Preston said, "Once you play this organ, it spoils you for others." Will you play the 5 manual organ at First Baptist Church.

[@StoreeDenson]

The Trompette En Chamade was inspired by the State Trumpet of St. John Divine. The En Chamade was voiced by a Hungarian organ builder. Also the 64ft Double Ophicleide is digital.

[@PaulFey]

Oooh, I will play at First Baptist tomorrow! So excited for that 😀

[@StoreeDenson]

@@PaulFey WONDERFUL! I practice there every saturday. I assume you met Rev. Erick Matthis and the new organist Sean Burns right?

[@StoreeDenson]

The trompette en chamade might suprise you. ;)

[@Buisness1]

In NYC we never like Mollers. We always thought the were very subdued in brightness compared to the Skinner organs.

To play that organ you need a memory of a super computer! More keys than a sycamore tree, more stops than a London bus and more knobs than the House of Commons!

What a superbly played organ transcription of "Hallelujah Chorus"!!! Not easy, especially at that tempo, which most orchestras use. Excellent use of the 4th finger on moving notes while octaves sustained (King of Kings, Lord of Lords)with other fingers. Demonstrates your practiced, practiced time spent on independent finger exercises. Fantastic organ for this Handel composition. Video beautiful. Best wishes on the remainder of your US tour. Hope there are many more USA cities on more USA tours in future years.

Dear Paul, thank you very much for this wonderful piece of music! A masterpiece of the genius G.F. Händel, very well performed by a real master of the queen of instruments. This video was the first one of yours that I watched, recommended to me by the algorithm of KZbin, it really gives me inspiration. About a year ago, I've begun to learn to play the piano by myself. Now I'm thinking about buying an organ for my home and to learn to play this wonderful instrument. Ich wünsche Dir frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins Jahr 2024!
