Emotional music for pipe organ - 'Adagio for Organ'

My first ever piece for pipe organ.
An emotional and solemn piece with some great dynamics!

I'm here because my Grand Mother isn't doing well at all and it's great to be listening to recordings like this. She played the organ her entire life.

1:43 this is so powerful. It moves me like no other musical instruments. Chills and tears everytime. What a piece..

[judielaw]

There is something really special about how these organs sound. Deep and serene, what a beautifully moving piece.

As deacon presider at Good Friday service, I played this recording of your hauntingly evocative piece. I thought it provided the perfect atmosphere for contemplation. I have played it many times since for my own prayerful contemplation.

Undoubtedly the Pipe Organ is the greatest ever musical instrument created by mankind 🙏😍❤️

How anyone can dislike churches and these incredible instruments is beyond me.

[thelonecomet]

Both my wife and I love organ music. If only she was here now to share it with me.

[Saluno]

How it kicks off at 1:39 gives me greater frisson than any other song I've ever encountered... I just keep coming back to this!

It’s pieces like this that remind me why the Pipe Organ is my favorite musical instrument.
The beauty, the grandeur, the power

[andrewspencer]

You can’t beat the sound of a real church organ and the full range of the pipes. Especially the example at 1:41. Really nice piece.

[andrewkeefe]

I grew up listening to organ music as a kid and had several relatives that have played on some of the best and oldest pipe organs in the world. After listening to this I want this piece played prior to my body arriving at the church as a prelude.

[syncletic]

Used this for a tabletop game as a villain proceeded to monologue their heart out and it brought at 3 of the players to near tears. Awesome freaking work man! So much respect.

[deejaytee]

It's very satisfying to know that there are still people with the inspiration and ability to write music that extracts the very best qualities of a pipe organ. The crescendo in the middle of that piece sent shivers through my body and soul. You should be very proud of yourself, and rightly so.

excellent piece of music i play this when i remember my son who died of cancer 1 march 2019 age 29

[natskar]

Just got new headphones, my first ever expensive pair and immediately wanted to listen to pipe organ music, and it’s so much better of an experience

[jayyoung]

What an incredible piece of music. I absolutely love how powerful it is between 1:40-2:20. Very moving.

[winzkl]

By the way: I’ve searched for “beautiful organ music” and I got this! I really like it

[peterdupuis]

The best instrument ever made. Nothing even comes close to the presence and power that is the pipe organ.

[brandlynnyoung]

This music is perfect for grieving. My Daddy died last month and this touches my soul like nothing else ever has. The lower notes south the buried pain while the higher ones give it validity.
