Memorial service for Bishop Melvin Wheatley. Westwood United Methodist Church, Los Angeles, Ca. Organist: Peter Fennema

THIS is both a fabulous space/instrument and player! I chose this Toccata for my mother's funeral service and was fortunate to have the services of a Yale organist to deliver it with an equal fervor. It was received as enthusiastically at her service as well. Afterwards, when everyone had left, I was able to speak to the organist and pad her hand with a $300 stipend because it was all the cash I had on me.......if I had had more bills, she would've gotten them all. FABULOUS energy!

Nice, never really thought of that as a funeral postlude before but I guess it really depends on who it is you are celebrating.

Did someone roll in a Mack Truck for the last note?!

It sounds terrible. The audio quality makes it sound so shrill and rough. And he really started go way too fast towards the end.

You misspelled "too" fast. I'm sure Mr. Fennema has been lying awake every night since learning you were not pleased with the tempo...

A bit fast perhaps.
