Featuring an improvisation of mine on 'From Heaven above'... well, it used to be an improvisation, but I wrote it down and learnt it (also recorded it for a CD a while ago!)... =P
The Toccata from Widor's fifth symphony for organ and finally a bonus...
This was played in a very important church in Rome, I was allowed to be a guest organist and had one evening to prepare on their organ (I already knew the music). After my part, there were the priests who sang for almost an hour, the story of Jesus' birth in Gregorian chant! Exciting stuff.
Enjoy!!! (I only left the start of their chant in, as I had nothing to do with it.)
Also, this was a recording of the rehearsal, so no congregation noise!

Ha, yes, around half the world in thirty days! It's jolly good fun, a bit annoying to fly all the time, but whatev... I found out that there's internet on flight, so!
Thank you! Organs do have this whimsically majestic air to them, I wish I could put up the choir singing though! That was pretty cool (but long, something nicer to hear live rather than in a recording)
Oh dear, don't mind grammar here! But I'll never understand how people mix up you're with your, I can understand your instead of you're, but I'm sure I get my its and it's wrong if I don't reread. =P

I've never gotten internet on flights, and its especially boring when the flight is really long (18 hours anybody?). I also have a hard time sleeping on planes, so all I can do is sit there for hours until I go crazy! Usually I'm unlucky and I happen to sit where there are children crying and elderly men arguing about something! Enough ranting ahaha. Organs, at least to me, can sound either chilling and creepy or magical like how you played at that church! I don't know how I mixed up "you're" and your, I probably was typing too fast :S.
The mystery that surrounds Christmas... slowly replaced with a veil of celebration and presents!
Yeah, I'm quite happy with how it turned out! Thank you!!!
The plainchant was astounding, it lasted for an hour, but not a dull moment! It was like a Gregorian opera! Pity that most don't understand Latin, but for those who did, you had the wondrous sounds of monks singing in the sweetest registers of their MANLY voices or in the shrill tones of the counter tenor, wonderful!!! Pity I can't put it up here... =P

Then you better not know what they're singing as soon as I finish my playing here!
It's like me going 'Yay! Christmas, let us be happy and celebrate!
And they answer 'Oh LORD, have mercy, Christ have mercy! We must be joyous in heart, but pardon this poor soul, he should have said 'let us be solemn and celibate.'
