One of my favourites too. I was introduced to it by a primary school teacher, Mr Smythe. He wanted it to be sung by a soloist in morning assembly. Nobody wanted to do it, so he asked me to read it out loud. The words have stuck with me ever since. It is a gospel in miniature. More than sixty years later, it still brings a tear to my eyes.

Very well played and empathy pacing the use of the stops in relationship with the words. As an an accompanist myself I will reharmonise verses to reflect the words, reading on in advance. The best about this is that the first verse played articulates the tune and the thinking use of stops to reflect on the verses and opening the swell at the end with the parting message of the last verse to inspire. Well done and beautiful playing

Played brilliantly - one of your best yet ! What a lovely Hymn - thanks for sharing. How lucky are your Congregation to have you as their Organist ! Take care 🙂

Fantastic! Way too many organists make it a very choppy hymn instead of smooth and flowing.

@Iceland874 7 ай бұрын

They tend to make it a march which it is not. I agree his performance of this hymn is refreshing and phrased so perfectly.

@johnmaguire9305 9 ай бұрын

Great rendition of “Slane”. Overtones of “Lord of all hopefulness “ perhaps….

Same hymn tune for both.

Very peaceful and beautiful melody indeed. I never felt interested or attracted to hymns play by organs in my life, however, you sir play the organ with such a passion and joy that it is very joyful and contagious 😅 Thank you for sharing your art and the lovely ancient chapels in England. Merry Christmas from 🇺🇸

I’m playing this hymn in the Boise Community Band in the key of E-Flat. We’re playing this hymn to honor a former trombone player who played in the band for a number of years because he recently passed away on Valentine’s Day from a stroke, and this was his favorite hymn. I play bass trombone in the Boise Community Band.

One of my favorite hymn tunes also. Here in USA is the setting for the hymn-poem "Be Thou my vision". Beautifully played!

I was wondering when you were going to play Slane (hymn tune name - it has multiple sets of words). It was my mother's favorite also.

I alway associate this hymn with Ireland

@Morthekingz 8 ай бұрын

I believe its an irish hymn

@barbararussell9757 5 ай бұрын

No wonder, Slane refers to the hill where St. Patrick burned his flame to oppose the Druids and the lyrics were also homage to St. Patrick.

@jonathanzimmerman6880 9 ай бұрын

Well played Ben. This hymn is actually “Lord of all Hopefulness.”

@ViscountAlbany 8 ай бұрын

Lord of all Hopefulness is a later English hymn by Jan Struther. as the tune is an old Irish melody, it is more authentic to set it to Be thou my vision, as this is derived from an old Irish poem.

@rrchapman 8 ай бұрын

The hymn tune is Slane. It is used for "Be thou my vision" and "Lord of all Hopefulness." There is a reason Anglican/Episcopal organists all know the name of the hymn tunes as well as the hymn titles. And the tunes can be interchanged if the poetry of the words has the same meter. Did you know you can sing "What a friend we have in Jesus" to Ton-y-botel (Ebenezer)? It actually improves singing the words, I think.

Lovely instrument. Excellent playing: tempo, breathing (which comes to light when we can follow the text of the 5 verses), continued measure between verses, registration. Charles III does not heed riches?

Look at Charles's crest, very telling if you read Revelation.
