TOCCATA ON CHRIST THE LORD arr. Diane Bish

[@thomasphillips5850]

Beautiful Diane. I have visited this organ , magnificent. Thank you.

[@garfixit]

What a beautiful organ❤❤❤🙏

[@CelestialChoir]

MAJESTIC and EXUBERANT! YES! HE GOT UP! What a wonderful contrast between the joy of the Resurrection of Jesus and the more contemplative chorale "O Sacred Head Now Wounded"--makes you reflect on the supreme sacrifice and its inevitable conclusion...what we're all headed for--RESURRECTION! Diane Bish's setting just cries out for choreography--swirling flags , colorful streamers and banners, palm branches waving, dancers leaping eveyrwhere--CHRIST IS RISEN! HALLELUJAH!

[@MANTLEBERG]

[@playingforhim511]

It's really a dreadful shame this beautiful instruement isn't played mroe often. They use the band more than the organ. I remember walking into Clavary at 5 yrs old and just crying thinking of hof how it might be in heaven :)

[@ncguy207]

If my memory serves me correctly Diane didn't dedicate this organ. It was actually dedicated by Dan Miller the former organist at Calvary. I was there the night he did it. The organ was actually designed by a good friend of mine.

[@CelestialChoir]

Thanks, merci, muchas gracias @bishfan for uploading this one! Every time I hear this, I have to MOVE! It's a piece to MAKE YOU SHOUT! ALLELUIA--THE LAMB IS ALIVE!! Great way to remember RESURRECTION and ETERNAL VICTORY! HEY! GLORY! :-)

[@fansofdianebish]

In her other programs, when the choir sings along with this piece, it's played at about the same speed and they seem to be able to keep up with it.

[@fansofdianebish]

My organ teacher always told me playing the organ will help keep the dust from settling in the pipes.

[@garfixit]

😆😆😆😆❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cowgirlmoon]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[@polsterj]

I'm European, and people there usually laugh aubout american organs, I also did, but I have to admit - this organ amazes me!

[@Sabatyr]

She kicks ass!...I caught her while channel surfing awhile back...........I stop on that channel everytime if I see her........Amazing footwork...How do you do that?

[@MattGerhard]

Very well stated.

[@PJManfredi]

Actually, she's not "juggling" with his music, but rather tying in the crucifixion with the resurrection. This was written as a choral anthem that she adapted to organ solo as well, but you should listen to the choral piece. It might tie everything together for you.

[@BH061595]

WOW!!!!

[@Diapason16ft]

I still think she sounds best on a Ruffatti!

[@Moraleg1]

@bishfan Thank you! :)

[@fansofdianebish]

@Moraleg1 Christ the Lord is Risen Today, and O Sacred Head Now Wounded

[@CoutureOrganiste]

@ncguy207 The organ was actually featured in a series of "Dedication" recitals. I happened to be there for a dreadful recital by a world renowned organist that will remain nameless. We knew we were in for a real "treat" when he stopped midway through the Sowerby "Pageant", hopped off the bench and announced "I have on the wrong shoes", disappeared into the greenery and returned to "finish up". We lovingly call this "The Organ that Ate Charlotte" in "The Mary Kay Cathedral".

[@chen0466]

Interesting weave with O Sacred Head

[@BH061595]

I wish I could download this song... bishfan, do you have an account for Contre Bombarde? My user name is pipeorganmaster. I think I have seen you on there once or twice.

[@Moraleg1]

What hymn is this called?

[@reedweldon2312]

Mgm1234 Christ The Lord is Risen Today

[@falaqdad15]

@LieblichGedeckt Gotta admit I love that filthy solo reed! haha but its just the 16' added to it which probably makes it so horrid

[@godsfiddler]

Yes. Now many have gone to keyboards. To me, keyboards are an insult to pianos and organs.

[@lemay1973]

she is way more talented than i willl ever be, but i don't like what she did with the melody, she made the melody sound like a theme song or something
