The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba sounds AMAZING on the #organ #pipeorgan

Yes I know - it wasn’t originally even written for the organ 🤣 But I think The arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel sounds very much like it could’ve been!

What do you think to this piece? I’ve played it for countless weddings, and I think for such an occasion like that it is perfect.

Sounds as though it was written for the organ, gorgeous!!

[clubfoote]

I will be honest. That's the 1st time ever I have heard it, It's so joyful and beautiful,

[freddiefries]

Congratulations for the beautiful piece of organ music 😊

It seems I am wandering the arrival of th Queen of Sheba with Handel in a labyrinth of the Old Testament to spread infinity
I was so touched to see the overwhelming sight of the gorgeous and beautiful Sheba

This is the cleanest and best I've ever heard anyone perform this deceptively awkward piece. I am in absolute awe, Richard!

[carmenfoster]

As always you make any music sound great and this is no exception

🇮🇹 Un virtuosismo molto OK, grazie al quale si può apprezzare sia la sonorita dello strumento e le potenzialità stesse!! 👍👏

God Bless Your Skills More And More. You Play With Your Heart.

Nice playing as always Richard! I would add a chorus registration to the end, but it’s my personal opinion. Have a great weekend!

[graniabenge]

Simply beautiful - what a talent to share for the enjoyment of others. Many thanks, Richard!

[robertsmith]

Wonderful music, played with such heart.

I love this face I love York has strep but I like your performance as well you haven't credible articulation and it's very clean and bright I like your selection of stops sound like if you chosen 8 ft + 2 ft Sloop together for the solo with strings as accompaniment if it's not too much trouble would you try that someday and post again thank you for posting I wish I could meet you someday

awesome! I learned the viola part to this in school (dead boring) and was always so jealous of the first violins who got to play the "famous" part. maybe I will try to learn it on organ.

Imagine hearing this in GFH’s day.
Third chord from the end?

[dybusmariusz]

Can you play handel's semele where'er you walk? Thanks

Let´s give credit also to Bath Abbey organist Ernest Walter Maynard, 1908-1990 who wrote the arrangement.

It sounds amazing
Which transcription are you using

[billraty]

May a pox fall upon those that made American inversion notation differ from British. Which inversion exactly is 'C'? ;-)
