Even though I only heard one!

Nice piece Paul and an authentic church organ sound.

Cheers

to compose these for others. :-) This is perfect for people filling into church. The ending is majestic. Very cool, Paul. :-) We meet in an old, stone church circa 1700 and we have a big pipe organ that no one knows how to play, even if the mice nest was cleaned out. I imagine someone playing this before service instead of me playing a CD.
Anyway, I digress. Thank you for sharing this volunrtarily.

Very nice indeed; I continue to be amazed by your compositional facility, and everything you write is so well crafted!

Bravo!

...although I'm not an organist, myself; I'd have sworn this was a church organ.

Very impressive sound. And a really fine piece, Paul. Not too difficult (I guess ;-) ), yet definitely keeps the interest.

AKA: Very cool....

I m certainly a lucky one to heard more than
one piece from this charming series , with much gratefullness to your kind to send them to me .
Indeed there s a sence of glory and open spaces
for peace as its the ending part .

a short piece to push me write more than 1:30 long piece !
thank you, Paul for sharing this suburb work of yours
here ..its realy a delight !

I love organ music. The reverb/echo sounds very realistic and the melody inspires reverence. It almost sounds like a Casavant organ! Beautiful composition. Are you now going to make me buy a Roland Keyboard? Sadly it would have to wait......sigh...

Yes Paul! This one truely works. If this one would be played in a church where I attended, I would be very eager to know what it was and who made it. And I would search the organist afterwards to know.

So, please mr postman, will you be posting more of these?

I did not listen in headphones now, but if you've told me it was a real organ recorded in a church, I'd have bought it without questions.

One tiny thing I wonder though, is if the level is'nt low, I am turning the volume to 4 instead of normal 2 when I listen to this.

I'm glad that you posted this to MJ. I'm working on a couple of your pieces now, and they are accessible, (but not 'easy' to do well.) This is a great church organ sound. It's amazing what some fiddling will do to improve things.

When I was in my 20s I played in a threepiece (bass,drums and Hammond) and have loved the sounds of organ music ever since. Always a huge fan of Alan Price, Stevie Winwood and Brian Auger (especially Auger), my interest spread to all sorts of organs including pipes. My most memorable pipe organ experience was seeing a performance on the Notre Dame Cathedral organ in Paris - huge, full in-yer-face sounds that any band would be proud of, shaking the walls and touching the soul.
This piece sounds real. It's as simple as that - a real person playing a real instrument and stirring real emotions. Love it.

you can play for our church any day. What a joyous and lovely comp. You have captured just the perfect pipes in a large room feel, even down to gettin those big breathy sounds from the bottom end. Really remarkable writing/performance

Fine composition. Full sound, but pretty straight forward for ordinary players :) Thanks for sharing.

...the sound of a nice organ in a harmonious space here, Paul.

I love these organ pieces of yours. Our congregation is looking for a music director... perhaps you should consider moving...

Think carefully. It might involve having to teach my son in children's choir. Think VERY carefully.

I would never have picked this for a digital organ, nor would I have thought it was written in the 21st century... This one has the feeling of something that would easily last through centuries... Simple, but grounded...
