U zij de glorie, opgestane Heer - improvisatie Gert van Hoef - St. Baafs Kathedraal Gent

I listen to this at least once a week!

[@7mattiemae]

Yes listening to this young man I have wept with sublime joy and peace. He not only plays beautifully but in my humble opinion he has been touched by God as well.

All the world loves Gert. I could watch and listen for hours and get nothing done but lifting my inner soul to new heights of rapture.

When I was a lad around 7&8 years of age, I use to hear these melodies in my inner mind, and they would make me feel happy. Here now today, I am 80 years, and I am still happy to hear Your playing is Truly Wonderful. Thank you for Sharing the God Given Gift with us. Richard Blocher

I'm torn between St. Baaf's and Liverpool Cathedral for most epic organs, and Gert's improvisation of 'Land of Hope and Glory' on Liverpool's Willis & Sons organ is beyond glorious.

[@christopherminton6354]

Great performance - love the melodic lines he inverts and melding with Abide with me - quite superb. Thanks Gert.

Gert, you NAILED it!!!!! Stunning improvisation performance. For you to play, not look at your hands and be your own registrant is very impressive indeed. Your talent continues to reach higher levels as you progress. Thank you for this video and for sharing your God-given talent. So I say Thumbs up up up 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@jojo-mx4ro]

You nailed it? Hahaha Jesus was supposed to turn back to save you But now he is nailed again

[@TerryP1922]

@@jojo-mx4ro, it is an expression that is used to comment on the successful or skillful completion/performance of something. Gert improvisation was excellent and the fact that he was his own registrant proves his skills and musicality. It is a compliment when a person is told, "you nailed that performance". I hope you have heard of the expression, "hit the nail on the head"? It was an outstanding performance.😊

Great new version for this wonderful hymn. Inspirational. How can anyone have left a negative......I note one person has. This is a great performance.

[@TerryP1922]

Ignore the one, I have :)

[@kurtdsauer]

Thank you Gert. I enjoyed the rather breezy improvisation that you wove around two very famliar tunes that are among my favorite hymns; Thine Is the Glory and Abide With Me. The Handel tune is rather regal, to me. The melody and chord progressions in Abide With Me which support the melody always have brought comfort to my soul. It continues to speak to me since I was a child. Thanks for continuing to share with us your love of music and for bringing us interesting music played on such historic instruments from a land I can only hope one day to visit.

[@caseyflorida]

That's the most confusing looking organ console I've ever seen, but it Gert handles it masterfully, as always! Thank you Gert for a wonderful improvisation!

[@TurtleFL]

Well... It looks to me like it has rocker-style tabs for stops, and a total of seven rows of tablets, three of them positioned above each of the stoprails and four set aside above all the stoprails on the left side of the console. I believe the three rows above each stoprail are for setting up three combination pistons on the left side just under the Choir (Manual I.) The four additional rows on the upper left wing of the console are probably the same idea but for setting up the four buttons on the right side below the Choir manual. None of this would be intended to make the organ complicated, but actually to simplify the organist's job by providing the ability to change registrations instantaneously.

Alhoewel ik een superbewonderaarster ben van Uw spel en de enorme vrijheid en het talent, waarmee U inproviseert, ben ik toch ook wel van mening dat de improvisaties hier en daar soms wat rommelig aanhoren.. Neem me niet kwalijk voor dit commentaar want ik weet, dat de beste stuurman aan wal staan.. In mijn geval ben ik opgegroeid tussen de muzikanten en de muziek van oa Feike Astma en Piet van Egmond en ben zelf ook redelijk muzikaal.. Nogmaals geen kritiek maar alleen een licht kritische voetnoot mbt de improvisaties... Verder : chapeau!!

[@maartenvandijk8478]

In dit filmpje is Gert 22 jaar en nog niet afgestudeerd op het Conservatorium.Als je dat vergelijkt met Piet van Egmond of Feike Asma, dan vind ik je bewering hier volledig mank gaan, hoor.
