Hi I seem to be surrounded by gremlins this week. I had to re-record 2 verses of the first hymn - I wasn't happy with my playing (attempted organ/piano duet again) Verses 1 & 4 survived the cull. When I loaded the additional clips on the video editing computer, I found that the audio had gone AW...

Thanks JohnT & Hugh.

I wonder what will be asked for next Sunday.

Hi Here's this weeks hymns/songs, starting with "Thou whose almighty word". Interestingly, I discovered that the writer of the words was a former Rector of a church in the next village to where I play. lpWBCtlAS5s Next up is "Let us break bread together". My old digital piano (Ro...

Hi

Nice use of sounds Den. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comments folks.

More next week (and just possibly one track before then) - I've had a request. Have to see how time works out today!

Every Blessing

Thanks for the comments.

I've been interested in the early English organ repertoire for quite a while. Hopefully there'll be more recordings before too long.

Proper organ music this time - a pleasant short piece from a previous era:-



Enjoy

Hi Another busy week recording for church - 4 hymns/songs this week, plus a proper organ voluntary. 2 of the hymns are multitracked with me playing both organ & piano. I had a few problems with these, partly getting used to a new multi-track recorder, and partly not getting things quite synchron...

Hi

Yet another of the various attempts to "improve" keyboard design! Never seen one like this before.

Thanks John

Thanks John

I've just checked and all 4 seem to be working OK from the links in my post, and no-one in the church has said they've had any problems.

More next week.

Hi Another busy week - because our minister is moving house, I've put the whole service together again this week (if you want to see the complete service sheet, just let me know). On top of that, I've had computer problems both with this computer (eventually tracked down to a problem with Word not p...

Hi I've just changed the link to the meditation. A friend pointed out a problem with the original piano recording if you tried listening in mono. A couple of hours fiddling and battling "features" of the video edit software I managed to salvage the track, but it's now in glorious mono! Eve...

Hi Here's my selection of music for our "Church at Home" this coming Sunday - including something a little different. We start with a short hymn prelude, going straight into the song "Be Still" 8sQYO7OVjY0 (The prelude by itself is here. Guess who forgot to change the title scree...

Hi Brian Certainly interesting. I've used Steinberg Notator on an Atari computer for MIDI sequencing in the past (that dates me!). I've got a free version of Cubass on one computer, but I've not used it a great deal recently. Free is always a good price if the product does what you need! Every Bless...

Hi

Sounds good Peter. I wouldn't want to try & put something like this together - it takes long enough recording & sorting out the videos for Sunday morning, and that only involves me!

Thanks John

I've been playing over 60 years no (from my first piano lesson) & playing organ since I was 11, so I've had plenty of practice! On top of that, Dad played piano (by ear) so I guess it's partly hereditary. All my children are musical to some degree.

Hi Here's this week's music for Wolston Baptist Church. Mainly piano this time, although the bonus track is a classical organ solo. Enjoy. First up is "Over all the Earth". ZP04gcHJm2s Next is a classic worship song, Abba, Father. cs0a-u5wqZM The final song is Chris Bowaters "Jesus Sh...

Thanks Hugh

I've actually got next Sunday's music early (our minister is moving house next week). It's all fairly contemporary music this time, and all the congregational stuff will be on piano. I might do a bonus track on organ if I can think of anything that fits (and I can play!)

Thanks John

Hi As usual, my music for church. I heard in the week that reopening is being delayed until September, so a few more weeks of recording to come. First up is an opening instrumental track from 2013. It's an arrangement of "Let all mortal flesh keep silence" played by Sue, my late wife &...

Thanks John

Hi Ken Some nice sounds there. It's been a long while since I've played that - last time was probably at a funeral. I have posted some tracks again this week, but was rather later than normal finishing them - memory card in camcorder failed, so I had to re-record one track & didn't finish until ...

Hi I remember this player from way back - never bought any recordings of him (or many other people either) but heard him many times on TV & radio & enjoyed his interpretations of Bach. The Swingle Singers were another line up who reinterpreted Bach (not to mention Walter/Wendy Carlos). Bach ...

Hi Here's this week's selection. First up is a lively opening song, written by Graham Kendrick:- 498gkAi5zj0 Next up is an older hymn:- D8q7En6snbw The final song is a reminder that, ultimately, God is in control. This was one of Sue's favourites. lfNMajS2vRU Finally, a "bonus track" - I r...

Hi

Well worth a listen.

Thanks John The last song has been around for quite a while - but I hadn't played it since the 1970's. There will be at least one more batch of recordings, as I heard yesterday that the church won't be opening next Sunday due to lack of information on what steps need to be taken etc. Every Blessing ...

Hi I managed to record this week's music with very few problems - and even managed a duet with myself on organ & piano on one track (and found yet another irritating "feature" in the video editing software!) The video presentation for duets needs some more thought before I try it again...

Thanks John

The 3 later songs all date from the '70's or '80's, and tended until recently not to be used in more traditional churches. Glad you enjoyed them.

Hi Here's this weeks music for my church - enjoy. First up is the hymn "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation - all 6 verses of it. Played as usual on my Viscount Envoy 35FV zQ37Jc4pFZw This is followed by a more recent worship song/hymn, again played on the Viscount. MsTLEiPuN...

Hi I also have a couple of pair of headphones with the screw-on adaptor - very useful. The real problem lays in the design of the 1/8th inch sockets - the connection area is just too small for reliability. I wish they'd never been invented, and they certainly shouldn't be used where there's space fo...

Hi Melody in the pedals is pretty common in some genres of classical organ music - indeed, I've heard a few theatre organists do it for short passages. I've got a few pieces that I play sometimes that do this. Perhaps the most "fun" one is a Chorale prelude by the great J.S. Bach on the ca...

Thanks John

I have had a good few years practice (been playing organ since I was 11 - 57 years ago).
