• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

Hi Bill,

Good. Arjan proves that he is a great organist.
Enjoyed the piece, but tell me, is this an improvisation of Arian on Adeste fideles or it's a writen piece of variation ?

I wonder why it took so many years for me to appreciate this type of music.

Google translates the text on the video as a reworking of "Come All together". That would seem to indicate that it might be an improvisation. In any case it is very well done by Arjan van Hees on a lovely sounding instrument. Thanks again Bill for another delight.

Thanks for posting that, Bill. O Come All Ye Faithful has always been one of my favorite carols. I loved the closing chord progression. It's a pity though, there was so much reverb...

Also, I would love to see the score if there is one.
