Hymn Tune Kingsfold (I heard the voice of Jesus Say) played by
Michael T.C. Hey. He is Assistant Director of Music at Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan and is represented by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists. www.michaelhey.com
Michael Hey realized a modulating interlude that Gerre Hancock used use in the early 1990s. I think I remembered how Dr. Hancock structure the interlude. It would be used as the choir was ascending the steps of Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue at the start of Mass.
The form I remember was Ostinato in the pedal, modulating through the circle of fifths, over a stepwise chordal pattern in the manuals.Then coming down on the tutti and re harmonizing the final verse. All that was missing was the trebles of the boy choir singing a descant.

Sinice the organist is not flipping pages, that tells me that the great variations he uses are all in his head, including the wonderful chords, and the running pedal work. Which makes me think that his improvisation from one performance to another might be whatever sounds good to him in the moment. Truly amazing abiity, but I do underestand it comes from many hours of practising and being familiar with chord change options. Real musicianship!

@Pipe-organ-recordings 5 жыл бұрын

Hannah Rose what is a little more amazing is the modulation he does I described to him as being something like Gerre Hancock used to do, I described the specific musical form structures, he just did it. Michael is brilliant.

it's an awesome series of modulations to get from e minor to f minor, I am not nearly as good at this as he is, but it's always really exciting when organists are allow to actually PLAY hymns and really "pull out all the stops" - literally

In some traditions it is not unknown for the congregation to sit without singing but following the words while the organist " interprets" the hymn with different registrations etc. This is an excellent example of how this could work as an aid to meditation. Superb interpretation of a wonderful time. People might imagine that this is an Irish tune, but in fact it is an English melody.
