University of Alabama Organ Concert (Canterbury Episcopal Chapel)
A (mostly) improvised organ concert based on familiar tunes and hymns, performed on July 10, 2024 at Canterbury Chapel on the campus of the University of Alabama. The organ is a 2-manual Holtkamp tracker organ from 1974 with 28 ranks.
Thanks to my godfather, Ben Porter, and the staff at Canterbury Chapel for hosting me and allowing me the welcome opportunity to play music uncommonly heard on church pipe organs.
🎹 The joys and journey of bringing the organ out of the dark ages and into the ears of the people continues! 🎹

    Another completely enjoyable and Showstastic concert!! I love your themes! I felt a bit as though you burst our bubble tonight because there were no popping sounds in any of your songs. I guess we will have to wait until WRAP music night to air out our grievances. It is a slippery slope to mention things like that and also marshmallows, which we have trouble finding here so we use swampmallows instead. Looking forward to next week!!.

Spontaneous music would never be heard again were it not for this recording to document this special experience. This is the kind of organ concert that will get music lovers and passers by all excited about the instrument: and you even had stuff for us old academics too with a wonderful rendition of music by Rohlig.

    Fantastic, Aaron! I hear Summer shadows of the opening number from your "Chicago performance". I wish I could give you all the thumbs up. There's a wonderful 2-manual Holtkamp up at Utah State University. They have such a bright cheery voicing, perfect for your repertoire. If your live audience wasn't dancing in the isles, they must've been dead... even then. 🤔Serious musician at play.

    Aaron, what midi keyboard was used in your home organ - Nektar Impact GX61 or other? What can you say about the keys themselves on this keyboard, how reliable and quiet are they. I also have a variant of the M-Audio KEYSTATION 61 MK3 midi keyboard. What would you choose from these two options from the point of view of the keyboard keys themselves and the feeling of playing them. P.S. I have Hauptwerk 4.2 with 8 organs and 1 harpsichord on my computer. At the moment I have two assotiated with Hauptwerk midi keyboards: M-Audio Axiom61 and Casio STK-6200 (synthesizer as midi). And no pedal board.

    • @aaronshows
      @aaronshows Месяц назад

      They are indeed the Nektar 61, but they are the semi-weighted action. They are wonderful controllers, but if I had to do it again, I'd get the "synth-action" version by the same company. I've since tried those, and they are closer to an organ touch (for the same price point). Hope this is helpful!

    • @VladimirGrishkovets
      @VladimirGrishkovets Месяц назад

      @@aaronshows Dear Aaron, thank you very much for your reply, but I still don't understand which Nektar 61 series you have? Even on the manufacturer's website it's impossible to know definitely what type of keyboard is used for which model. The manufacturer has six different series and it is impossible to understand which one has what type of keyboard (different data everywhere). Which model did you see the “synth-action” type? I have an M-audio axion (some sources say it's a semi-weighted keyboard, while others say it's “synth-action”. But it's obviously not a synthesizer type, but a semi-weighted one!) I also have an M-audio keystation 49 - so there the keyboard is purely synthesizer type and I can't feel it and I don't like it. I've never played real organs and I can't imagine what it feels like, but I understand very well the feeling of a piano keyboard - I would like to get such or close to it from M-audio or Nektar. That's why I asked you about a specific model of yours or one you know by feelings. I don't want to spend money and get an ordinary synthesizer keyboard like M-audio keystation 49. Thanks in advance for the answer.

    • @aaronshows
      @aaronshows Месяц назад

      The keyboards you see in the video are the Nektar GX61. I have since tried the SE61 and I think those are better for a more realistic organ "touch." Hope this is helpful!
