Jerry - so lovely! Lovely flutes, fantastic harmonies! Thanks for sharing it with and performing it for us!!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 It's such wonderful music and a joy to share it!

[@FraserGartshore]

Gorgeous. Quite unlike his other compositions, at least harmonically, thanks for airing this little gem of a piece. Lovely to hear those strings being used by someone else!

[@jerrymartin79]

Yay - I'm so glad you enjoyed this - and YES those Strings!!! It's a glorious sound. This one is a keeper for sure!

[@BrooksLehnig]

Fantastic Flutes, steam-powered shimmering strings, a polished and pastoral performance... definitely mouth-watering. I loved the hidden eule eggs. You are truly Amazing, Jerry!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much Brooks! So much fun!! Highly recommended adding these pieces to the rotation!

[@aaronshows]

I do believe "choo choo" is the sound an owl makes. Definitely one of the most lyrical and beautiful melodies of recent uploads. BRAVO!!! THIS sets a new standard! #Roasted #SlowCooked

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much! And yes indeed - Merlin agrees that your knowledge of birdsong is superlative. It's definitely cuts the #mustard - and inspires future shenanigans!

And what a beautiful melody for this fine Sample Set, beautifully played and beautifully produced. Thank you Jerry.

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊

[@aBachwardsfellow]

Gorgeous! One can almost see a shepherd upon a hill playing this lilting melody echoing through the hills at the beginning!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

A stunning performance, Jerry, of this really beautiful 'Cantilene' by Wolstenholme. It sounds gorgeous on this awesome sample set - such an amazing example of the tonal colours found in a wonderfully majestic romantic organ. Your videography is never less than professional and your uploads are always a total joy: bravo!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much Graham! I loved this the first time I discovered it, but actually playing it really is recommended - those harmonies in the middle section! Best wishes!

[@rsexton1683]

A truly lovely way to start the day. Thank you so very much!

[@jerrymartin79]

You are so welcome! Best wishes!

[@jillhertzog6365]

Wow I love it ❤❤

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you Jill!!

[@paulswindenmusic]

Lovely, Jerry! You play this music with such feeling and style; a compelling performance on a hugely versatile sample set, too. Bravo!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so very much Paul - I appreciate that - best wishes!!

[@seanpeare-M0WSP]

That was amazing. Also like the steam locomotive scene. I have finished building the flying Scotsman (7 1/4" gauge) and have just returned from driving the narrow gauge lock in the park. Thank you ever so much Jerry. 😊

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed it all!

[@derekburnsorg]

Lovely Jerry, I really like the way in which you have registered this sample set to make it sound like one of the gorgeous UK town hall organs especially as this piece is very much in the traditional Victorian "town hall" style of music. You could imagine a piece like this would've been played to the masses 100 years ago, but today nearly forgotten! Thanks for keeping these works alive and also for introducing me to some gorgeous music!!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much! And you've hit the nail on the head - this is my favorite period and style of music - I think the reasons it all fell out of favor are complicated, but I think its time to return is now!

[@lyndon1904]

A lovely piece - and a lovely set too!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much!

[@thewilliamtan]

Wow, wow, wow! I had never heard of this composer, but I’ll have to listen to his other works too. That sample set sounds great! 👍 Jerry!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much William! Yes indeed - there's a lot of wonderful music out there in the shadows - I'll keep digging it up! Best wishes!

[@davidcook8435]

Beautifully managed and played Jerry. Wolstenholme was a prolific composer and his music is very tuneful and instantly appealing, rather like Hollins. (They were born in the same year as was Lemare- a good year)! It makes you wonder why this music is not often played as it would surely help the general public to enjoy the organ as an instrument in its own right.

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much David - I agree - it's wonderful music. It's a shame it all fell out of fashion, but I think its time has come again! Best wishes!
