Playing the organ again, and new last verse

I have stood in twice as organist lately; First the Norwegian National Day festive service on 17^th May, and then at a wedding on 22^nd May. It took me by surprise, as I have never been asked to play during the 7 years I have been living down here. I gave up any hope of being asked many years ago...

I made a last verse flourish for one of the hymns called "No livnar det i lundar". It's standard version is given in the hymn book "Norsk Salmebok" for the Church of Norway, hymn number 765. My last verse can be found at The Organ Amateur Page

Norwegian: Ny versjon av korbønnen

Jeg har justert litt på ordlyden i korbønnen, som opprinnelig var (for) preget av direkte oversettelse fra originalen. Den nye versjonen følger:

Herre, velsign oss, som nå vil tjene deg.
Til din glede skje
at det vi synger med våre munner
   kan bli sannhet i våre hjerter,
og at hva sant er i våre hjerter
   kan bli virkelig i våre liv
gjennom Jesus Kristus, vår Herre.
Amen.

Great idea - music with music on youtube!

Sing along!

This is one of my favourites; Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace (Wesley). I prefer the upper tenor or alto part. The youtube user "morphthing1" has published an impressive collection of Anglican choir music in this manner. No reason for ever getting bored again!

Introduction - O Come All Ye Faithful (harmonium)

Christmas is soon here. I made a short intro to "O Come All Ye Faithful" for my harmonium at home.

You'll find it at the Organ Amateur Page by clicking "Music" and "Music by me". You can also access the PDF-file here.

WOW! Original recording of Thalben-Ball

Thalben-Ball plays his own elegy!!!

The interpretation is not what I expected...
