Very interesting display, Titus. When I used to deputise at the cathedral in the 80s ie before the arrival of the Létourneau, the console of the Sharp was in the chancel and was roughly to the left of where the archbishop’s throne is. At that time, the Sharp and Létourneau organs were played simultaneously by two organists wearing two way head phones. I hasten to add that they were played together only for congregational hymns, the responses and the common of the Mass. For the opening hymn, the organist at the Whitehouse would start. The organist would count aloud especially at the end of a phrase ‘hold - 2 - 3 - 4 off 2 - 3 - 4 in!’ During the Mass the organist at the Sharp would lead. The important thing was never to listen to the other organ which was being played lest you fall out of time. It was a great challenge!

How cool it is to see a young man like yourself so into this! That means the organ playing will be on for at least one more generation!

It warms the cockles of my heart that a young person is learning and playing church organs. Thank you deeply

What a beautiful Cathedral!

I majored in music...organ ...in college (started piano at age 4) and have had so much fun playing at different churches over the years., Retired now, in my 80's

Fascinating. What a knowledgeable, beautiful young man.

As the daughter of someone who tuned pipe organs here in the United States I find this video fascinating!

They’re all lovely instruments. I’m an organist and each organ has its own special beauty. The chamber organ is precious. Nice for early baroque. Great for Vespers. I wish I lived there. Thanks for an inspiring video.

I love this video. Entertaining and educational. I used to play our church organ back in high school. I'm self-taught so it's very interesting to see different pipe organs in one place and to hear the different sounds they produce. It's quite different from the non-pipe organs. I hope I'll be able to play pipe organ someday.

What an insperational presentation!

I really enjoyed this video! I’m not an organist, but I love organ music, and cathedrals! Saint Marys Cathedral is just beautiful! What’s not to like about to Letourneau, Oregon… But my favorite was actually the small one at the beginning! Titus, you should come to America and play the great Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia! Have you heard of this one?

St Marys was my parish church when I was 8-9. Thanks for the opportunity to be nostalgic and leanr new things. Only played a pipe organ a few times. Loved hearing the bells too and the boys choir. We lived in Cathedral St.

I am from Canada and did not know that we had a company that made these amazing organs. Our church had a new organ installed when I was a boy and in the Choir and the black keys were white and the white keys were black. So amazing and when I think of it I think it was a Canadian-made organ so beautiful. Thank you for your lovely playing and tour.! You are fantastic

Thank you for the demonstration, your work has inspired me to hear you play maestro ❤

Brilliant presenter and organist. Very informative and entertaining!!!

Beautiful resonance

Wonderful tour and delightful personality. Thanks.

Thank you. Very interesting! Also, beautiful cathedral! Wish I’d visited it when I was in Sydney.

Each organ has its own uniqueness I love them all I'm glad you love to play them as well and you do a fantastic job

He needs to allow the reverberation to decay entirely before resuming his commentary. Hearing the reverberation in a large church such as St Mary's is one of the great pleasures of hearing the organ.

I’m very much looking forward to visiting the Cathedral next month and how absolutely fascinating to see this video on the organs. I hope to catch-up with Daniel. I really hope there will be opportunity to see and hear some of the other instruments in the city too.

I used to be a church organist back in the 80's. I haven't played a real organ like this since then. This is bringing it all back for me.

Thank you for your tour and beautiful organ music on your wonderful organs at St. Mary’s Cathedral. The majesty of the LeTourneau Organ is magnificent, but the Klopp Organ very beautifully made and, for its size, it is also a wonderful sounding instrument. Thank you Pep, or should I call you Titus as some do, for your excellent description of, and great music on, these special instruments used for worship. May God Bless you and your music.

There's a palpable anticipation to hearing each organ's unique sound. I really enjoyed hearing them in such a large area!

That was an excellent overview of the St Mary’s cathedral organs, Titus. I especially enjoyed your warm and appreciative remarks about the Ron Sharp organ. What an astonishing contribution Ron made to organ building in Australia! Thank you!

Your knowledge, talent and enthusiasm for the”King or Instruments” comes through in this presentation of four great instruments.Thank you,Titus, for your excellent overview of the capabilities of each organ and views of a magnificent cathedral. A fantastic tour! I loved the Letourneau organ.

Have a look in the cathedral in Freiburg im Breisgau. Even the famous organist Edward Power Biggs played on the four organs which can be played on on single place. It's all in a cuestion of acoustic.

Espectacular

Tirus, Thank you for your very confident presentation bringing these wonderful instruments alive! I've listened twice as you made it so much fun.

Hats off to you, a wonderful presentation!

Wow, so gorgeous! Church and pipe organs are nice too!

Magnificent, sir! I enjoyed knowing this detail of the Cathedral. In my country, Portugal, there is a Monastery (Mafra) that has six recently restored Baroque organs. Congratulations for your work!

Not forgetting that Ronald Sharp also built the organ in the concert hall of the Sydney Opera house.

Wonderful video. Thank you.

Titus, Brilliant programme! Thank you.

Thank you!

My dear friend in Christ, you are an excellent organ performer. I see in You a great love for music. At 6:20 The Queen of Saba from Georg Friedrich Händel. But never open an organ box again. You will never could close it (Humor dies last). You are so talented. Best wishes from Hamburg/Germany !

The little Chapel Organ is my favourite. So simple and pure.

Thanks Titus, always good to see behind the scenes at the best concert venues and places of worship.

Excellent Titus!!!

I wish I could give this video 2 thumbs up, instead of just one! What a wonderful tour of these amazing musical instruments! It's great to see that pipe organ music can also be enjoyed by younger people. I remember being in awe of pipe organs when I was your age, and I still am, to this day.

Hi Titus, thank you for an outstanding demonstration and overall, a quality presentation! The video, audio, and narration were excellent, and it was a real treat to share in the musical treasures of the cathedral. I congratulate you for the wonderful work you are doing to share these instruments which otherwise would be inaccessible to people interstate and beyond. Keep up the great work, and I wish you every success as the Cathedral Assistant Organist. Thank you again for an enjoyable musical experience ! Take care, John

Cathedral has people who value music & feel of organ. They must be having a great choir also. Very good. God bless

Back when I was still doing church music, I had a gig in a church that had four organs......two huge pipe organs in the sanctuary...a small pipe organ in the chapel and a little reed organ in the choir room that I only heard played one time. Back in 2005, Marie Claire Alain herself came to play a recital there. As a singer, I didn't know who she was....until everyone and their brother came from all over to see her play what may have been one of her final performances.

This is great! Thank you for posting this. Very fine playing!

A great presentation, Titus! This video will be watched by many for years to come. Bravo and thank you.

Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev is really the best piece to introduce that organ.👍

Thank you for a very detailed demonstration of the organs. One of the saddest times of my life was when we changed from our old Church building to the new building and could not take the true pipe organ. Thank you again

When the earth here in Westfalia is rumouring next time... I will know, it comes from this cathedral and you are not far away :) Beautiful ! Thank you Sir !

Each of the organs has its own charm. They're all beautiful!

Well, there's a Basilica in Portugal which has 6 Pipe Organs. You should go there. It's the Basilica of Mafra, in the Mafra Convent, Lisbon, Portugal.

The 3 stop organ sounds amazing

What a marvelous tour of four distinct and capable instruments. I play three pipe organs in separate churches each weekend, but cannot imagine your voicing workouts. Bravo, Sir!

I love this guy!

Beautiful place with beautiful instruments! You have given a very enjoyable tour of the organs in this wonderful cathedral! Each of the organs have their own personality! My church here in Florida has a Letorneau organ! It also has an antiphonal organ in a loft that is played from the main console! Thanks for a great video!

Great vest and outfit

Those organs sure has a beautiful sound. I love beautiful organ music

I wish I could play all!

What a wonderful tour of beautiful instruments, Titus! Your dialogue is so plesant, informative, and warm. This is the first time I have run across your channel and look forward to more great things from you! I am doing business with a company in Sydney and one day may be able to visit there.

Well spoken Titus and talented. Praise God.

Very nice, Titus. All of the organs are great in their own ways and you present them quite nicely. Thanks.

Great job. Well demonstrated without belaboring each rank but giving a great summary of the sounds. What fun to be able to play them all! Blessings to you.

Such a nice tour.

As I play by ear and have been asked to play for family weddings, I played in a church where the note played was delayed by one second so it made it so hard to follow. So every note I played was always one note behind the following note. So not what you would expect. I think there was a delay because they wired it electronically from what I was told and it caused the delay. Have you ever had this experience? Thank you so much you are Awsome I loved them all I can't make up my mind.

I live here so might visit it

Titus, you are a talented and knowledgeable organist. I really enjoyed your presentation. You have rekindled my appreciation of pipe organs. Many thanks from New Hampshire, USA.

That was excellent. I very much enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.

Geoffrey griffith in philadelphia formerly of barbados i love this organ display by this great organist i was a former choir boy at all saints anglican church in barbados in the 1960 ties amen god bless

What a treasure this video is! Thank you so much for sharing.

Fantastic! I really enjoyed the video. Well explained

Very enjoyable, and informative tour. Than you.

This was wonderful! Thank you for that snip of Prokofiev - perfectly suited to that instrument.

Thanks for this video! Beautiful Cathedral and Organs and when You play! Beautiful Sounds! 🎹🎵👍👏👏

Excellent; many thanks. Always enjoy the music at St. Mary's when visiting...

Very nice demonstration, I liked your playing especially on the first organ ( small positiv) but all of it was great. what a collection of instruments! Good job sir!

Very interesting a wonderful collection of organs Thank you for showing them to us

Very nice presentation, most interesting.

Thank you so very much...

Thank you for sharing.

Great presentation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all. Jarlath

Lovely!! Thank you!

I very much enjoyed your presentation, matter and method. Thanks, Titus, for taking the time and making the no small effort to make this video. As to the preferred instrument at the cathedral, the Letourneau has my vote, but you are certainly spoilt for choice.

It's amazing. From Manaus.Brazil Martin Castilho.

i think the letourneau looks stunning in that space. (sounds, great! i mean swell!)

,thank you for the tour of the Cathedral.andvits beautiful organs

Such a nice Video! I enjoyed it a lot!

Very nice, well-done video.

Very interesting we enjoyed this

Very interesting video. Should be displayed on tv.

Great tour of the organs, you are a very good organist

What an excellent video! Thank you so much for how successfully you demonstrated and explained the organs throughout the Cathedral - you were engaging and entertaining!

Baroque to me usually means, Squawk Box, but I like the breathy sound of the flutes on the Sharp organ. Of course, the size of the room helps. The Letourneau sounds beautiful in that space, too. The Lemmens sounds magnificent. Why do builders include a harmonic flute at only one register--like if there's an 8' harmonic flute, there won't be a 4'; or if there's a 4' harmonic flute, there won't be an 8'?? It must be fun playing that rear organ with that long delay--mind over fingers to keep the tempo. Beautiful photography, too. Thanks for enriching my life.

Thanks you. Beautifull in ALL. Glóriies Fhathers Mothers Heavens!❤❤❤❤

All wonderful organs. You a very good at explaining what they are.

Brilliant!

What a beautiful place

Merci beaucoup.

Great video thanks will add a visit next time in Sydney

Marvelous!

Thank you for that great video, very interesting.
