Spring Prelude n° 3 |

[@grahamtwist]

This beautiful JMS piece may have been written for a two manual organ, but it works wonderfully well on the Van Peteghem Organ with your registration choices. I'm sure the 'universe' was more than satisfied with your touching performance, Rien - I know I was: bravo!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks you Graham! From JSB TO JMS in 24 hours!

Dear Rien, whenever you play the Van Peteghem organ, I get goose bumps. What a beautiful instrument!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! Yes, this organ has a very warm and comforting sound!

James Michael Stevens has written lots of nice music. I have bought/downloaded many of his pieces. Haven't played this piece but did get the entire collection and used 2 of the "Summer Preludes" at my church.

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks Melvin! His music is beautiful and accessible at the same time!

It seems that some of your unplanned are among the best! This is you, Van Peteghem and the acoustic at their finest!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! I agree with you on this one. This sounds lovely on this organ.

[@SecretsofOrganPlaying]

Every piece you play comes to life on this fantastic instrument❤

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! It’s my Aula Parva. Hahaha.

[@JamesMichaelStevens]

It's really beautiful, Rien! Just love the warm, velvety sound of this organ and it gives a relaxed and romantic feeling. Thanks so much for playing!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks James! One of my favourites from your collection!
