Contrabombarde Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 A very happy Christmas, everyone. All together now: Brilliant! By the end of the third carol service yesterday evening our organ was sounding less asthmatic and rather more terminally emphysematous, necessitating impromptu transpositions and trying to remember which notes from the previous hymn had or hadn't worked when playing the next one. But we made it through. Perhaps in the New Year our true loves will find fit to fund its desperately needed restoration, though to be fair it celebrates its centenary in 2011 and has never had any mechanical changes since its installation, a tribute to Hill's pneumatic actions. A very blessed Christmas to all. Contrabombarde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusingMuso Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 It's not often I rock with laughter....I often rock, but that's probably something else...... Anyways, I think this is the funniest thing I've heard played on the organ; classical or theatre organ et al. The word genius springs to mind, but maybe it's just absolute virtuosity and professionalism from Richard Elliot at the Mormon Tabernacle. Brilliant!

A ================ Well, it's nice to know that someone's technique isn't all at sea!! Although I hate the sea, I like ships, but I don't think I'll be learning it in the near future. I just have visions of "Titanic" and the sinking of the "Turpitz" as well as long, lonely hours in freezing cold places. This reminds me of the time I entered what appeared to be a deserted office building, and just to check, I called out, "Hello, is this the Marie Celeste?" A sole voice came from out of the darkness, "No, there was a dog aboard that!" MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
