Each AGOYO video will be premiered on the AGO's You Tube Channel and will be continuously available for viewing thereafter.
first organ I ever heard in real time was a Hammond C2...first lessons were on this instrument...much much later I studied Pipe Organ. Two distinctly different instruments..similar in some ways...yet miles apart in most other. both distinct...Im pleased you are including the Hammond in your instruction videos...
This video makes me want to get a Hammond organ for a roman catholic church parish and start playing the Hammond organ for mass using the Schubert Mass setting Deutsche Messe on the Hammond organ.
Jean Guillou hairstyle?
One of the GREAT monumental works written for the organ... PLAYED spectacularly...! Nathan plays with such spirit!

*MASTER!!!, GREETINGS FROM MÉXICO, THANKS A LOT!!!*
I think this presenter is a really cool guy and I enjoy his presentation style and his voice! Superb!
I agree that there is more to it than the piano.
This is phantastic ! Thank you from Salzburg ! Danke !
Bravo! Encore!
Nathan your performance was epic. You brought all the passion and color full to overflowing in your performance. Your performance of this great work without music cluttering up the rack has additionally placed you above the very best. BRAVO,,well done. David Snyder,Lumierist Creator of Virgil Fox Heavy Organ Touring Production.
Looking forward to the event. Please remember that videoing on a mobile should be done in landscape, not portrait. (ie turn your phone sideways to video) Thanks
Cool. I got to play this organ once. A cousin of mine was a priest stationed at the Cathedral, I think it was in the late 70's or early 80's. The same builder put an organ in at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, where I live now.
If it's not for Hauptwerk, i would connect nothing via MIDI to a pipe organ console. Such consoles alone cost already above 10K, let alone all the rest of the pipe organ. And then you would connect a cheap synthesizer to it? Most people do it the other way around. Start with a cheap 100$ keyboard and upgrade to the 10K 4 or 5 manual organ console. Preferable real pipes on windchests and a blower, alternatively Hauptwerk.
So helpful!
Just wow! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Cal Hampton and i were classmates at Oberlin Conservatory of Music and i sang in his choir at Christ Church, Oberlin. We had a love/hate relationship.
A master and a great lady
bach at a fine moment full of cheer and delite and rhythm and lite heartedness...
Beautiful personality great performer and teacher.
Hi Joey. Been a long while but I still follow you. Congratulations.
Wonderful instrument, registration and performance!
+GuildofOrganists *The Hammond B-3 preceded the Organ Reform Movement* and is therefore weak on Pedal tones. One idea I have for Roland Corporation is an Infinity-based 3-manual and pedal in a 4-manual console frame; four sets of drawbars (one set each for Solo, Great, Positive, and Pedal), each 16'5-1/3'8'4'2-2/3'2'1-3/5'1-1/3'1', for a VirtualToneWheel engine, would occupy Manual IV's usual space; the demo model from Rodgers Instruments Division would ideally pack Harris live drawknobs in the over-drawbar rail as well as the stopjambs, to mitigate reach concerns for the couplers and generals.
+GuildofOrganists *Allen Organ Company and Roland Corporation are fierce competitors in organ MIDI.* Roland hit first with sophisticated workstation controls in Rodgers® products from the 1990's, but Allen, not to be outdone, has put the synthesizer into the organ in the form of GeniSys™ Tone Generation. For my pet project four-manual, for instance, I could use Bv GeniSys-Tøner 5 and 6 (GeniSys-Tøn 6 being coupled to Fjernværk via the Console Controller) to simulate a two-manual harpsichord, with Hv 8'4'2-2/3' principals, Rygpoſitiv 8'4' flutes, and Pd 16'8'4' principals to fill out the tones for some works.
+GuildofOrganists *Were I inclined to play the vocal score straight on manuals,* I'd actually improvise a Contrabasso or Tuba part on pedals (sample registration: Hv Principal 8, Octav 4, Gemshorn 2, Mixtur IV; Fv Singendgedeckt 8; Rp Cornet V; Pd Principalbaß 16, Dulcian 16). I'm used to building instrumental scores on the fly around given vocal scores; works wonderfully, provided that the lead singers are at the top of their game.
Awesome video.
This video is so good, and so true! I just forwarded this link to several clergy members! As an experienced organist, I too have been enjoying all of these videos! Kudos to all involved!
Thank you, Joey. Thank you especially for letting us know about the flexibility of music education vis a vis non-music undergraduate education.
Fredirick is definitely one of my favourite organists.
Thank you for this video series! It is very educational.
What organ is that he is sitting at with a fireplace to the right of him and where? A stop list somewhere for it online? A home pipe organ?
"The organ seen in the first of the CCPE videos is a 4-manual, 181 stop tablet, 1927-vintage Austin organ console, its Opus 323A. The organ console originally was housed in Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine and was taken out of service when the Friends of the Kotzschmar organ replaced the 1927 console with a new 5-manual console. After a period of time when no buyer came forward to purchase the old console, it was purchased from the City of Portland by Frederick Hohman about 2004. From 2004 to 2014, the console was connected to a pipe organ, and the pipes and console were both housed in Frederick Hohman’s home music studio. In 2015, the pipes and chambers were removed in order to accommodate a new library room for music scores and other books. At that time, the organ console became fully renovated throughout, and now the console sends a MIDI signal and drives a Hauptwerk virtual organ system. The organ sounds heard in the CCPE videos from the Hohman studio located are from the organ of Hereford Cathedral in the United Kingdom.”
EXCELLENT !!!
This looks like a Johannus Organ?
+GuildOfOrganists *The hymn registration rules presented herein are also guidelines* for training registrants for facilities with full-mechanical organs sans combination action. The practical organ design would pack parallel chori on at least two manual divisions, including sub-octave stopped flutes, fifth mutation flutes and tenth and twelfth mutation principals, allowing for the Stanza 2 côrnet lead shown this vid.
*From the available information at **Beckerath.com**,* I reckon this Organ as officially _Beckerathwerkverzeichnis Einundvierzig_ (41), as 32 German and 8 American organs preceded it at the Hamburg factory.
*This III/25 Dan Jaeckel must use electropneumatics to drive the sliders,* as unassisted combination actions aren't currently powerful enough to work the sliders of a full-mechanical instrument such as the new II/30 Yokota Munetaka at Cornell University. But mechanical key action has no unexpected issues, provided that the pallet regulation is done properly during assembly and voicing. Correctly-executed computerization provides for remote control of the stops during routine maintenance, with the voicer able to control rank selection from the windchest and his slider commands instantly relayed to the keydesk drawknobs.
Superb!
Fantastico!!!
Exremely well and wisely performed! Bravissimo!!! One of my absolutely favorite contemporary organists!!!
great series for beginning organists!
This is all so good.
The Fred Show.
This entire series is wonderful! I'm a percussionist/band director and organ enthusiast, and these videos seem like a great starting point. I'm practicing on the piano right now, and hoping to give my church's Visser-Rowland tracker a go very soon! Mr. Hohman has all the qualities of an excellent teacher in spades. Thank you for sharing!
Phenomenal!!
