Awesome compilation..Some very familiar hymns there.Would be great if you could make a compilation of hymns according to the church's liturgical seasons (Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Ordinary Time etc, Saints Days etc)

Very nice, Matt. I am a new listener/viewer in Virginia, USA, near Washington DC. I appreciate organ music and glad I found your channel. You seem to have a variety of musical styles, which is good. It is encouraging to see younger organists like you willing to continue in the steps of great organists of the past and keeping these majestic instruments resonating their beautiful sounds.

[rolfgiehmann]

Your the best modern British organist . I also loved the the late Simon preston as an organist too and karl richter .

7:34 was my grandma's favorite hymn ("Daughter Zion, Now Rejoice!"). It marked the beginning of the Christmas season for her, when the family gathered together. Sadly, with her passing, the family stopped meeting up during Christmas. Well, nothing is permanent in life. Thanks for playing this great hymn, Matt. "Daughter Zion, Now Rejoice! Shout aloud, Jerusalem. See, thy Savior comes to thee, Yea, He comes, the Prince of peace".

wow, what a coincidence that I just watched the video from 4 months ago with you playing hymns here!

[ianjulian]

Play this to the tune "love divine" please.

[chaucerave]

Your taste in hymns is the same as mine!

"Be Still My Soul" uses rhe tune of Finlandia by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. Sadly that's probably why it can't be translated into Finnish, as the copyright for Finlandia doesn't end until 2027, 70 years after Sibelius' death.
