CATHEDRAL AMBIENCE | 1 HOUR of Calming Pipe Organ Music for Meditation, Study, and Sleep

I wanted to improvise music for meditation and sleep on pipe organ with a cathedral ambience, so I recorded myself late at night on August 1, 2022 on the 1924 Skinner pipe organ at First UMC Pasadena, CA. I added the "Valhalla Room" reverb to achieve the sound of a massive dark cathedral, so the space heard here is exponentially bigger than where the organ actually lives. I invite you to play this while taking a nap, and let your dreams carry you off to a medieval church built from stone in an ancient time. 🎶💤

This improvisation of yours is one of my favourites of all time, the simplicity of it doesn't take away from it at all

I have always loved organ music being an ex cathedral chorister, I sometimes just sit in the choir stalls and revel in the sound as it vibrates through my body.

As a professional singer who regularly performs in one of the grandest cathedrals in England (Winchester), with an equally grand organ, I didn't know what to expect when I stumbled across this. But it's wonderful. Just the right amount of reverb, and lush strings and flues particularly, make this really epic. in my opinion, this is how organ improvisation should be: the slow unfolding of ideas with a huge backdrop of space.

Aaron!! I’ve always enjoyed seeing all these big long studying/meditative/ambient queues of music throughout the entirety of RU-vid. I have always- (as a full-on organist and obsessee of solely the king of instruments) -wanted to see these big queues for the organ!!! My wishes were sure answered! I’m glad someone else can give this much love to the organ too. Even love the ever-shifting dynamic videography in the background, what a beautiful touch to the whole package. Thanks Aaron!🙌

@aaronshows Год назад

Much appreciated!! I'm the same way, I listen to ambient videos on RU-vid every week, and it finally occurred to me that pipe organ should have it's place in this realm as well. I plan on doing more, as I really enjoyed creating this one. Thanks again!

@illusionsnc Год назад

The slow breakdown of dissonant and consonant chords is very calming and seems to take you on a journey. As for the organ, your stop list is PERFECTION. You slowly fold in high flute and reed stops at the end of a crescendo, all while keeping the pedal and great division stops coupled, grounding you. Well done.

My grandfather used to play and sell organs. The vibration of pipe organs in church were meant for healing. Vibration of which will make the hair on your arm stand up. You can feel it in your bones. I miss that.

Wow oh wow!!! I felt as if I was already in heaven for one hour. I absolutely love church organ music and this was food for my soul. I forgot about all my aches and pains while listening to this amazing music. I've got a terrible cold at the moment, and I have got arm muscle pain in both my arms since last year, and I have lower back pain too. I have sleep problems because of my ill health. So this music was pure joy to my ears. Thank you very much for uploading it and I hope you provide more. 😊

@aaronshows Год назад

So glad to hear that this has been helpful, and yes, I plan to do more in the future. There is currently a second hour, a "Cathedral Ambience Volume II" on my channel, as well. Peace to you!

@theseus27 Год назад

Yes, your church organ music was so uplifting and I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Really happy to hear that you have a Volume II on your channel as well. While I'm there I will also subscribe to you. Thank you.

Well I put a 1970 13 stop Reuter in my home. So addictive! Just for ambience and diddly around. Skinner is a god. We just lost pipe maker Tommy Anderson who worked with Skinner. His first order was auditorium organ and his last is Dr Blackstone. Reuter studied both. Thanks for the post!!

Had a dream once that my soul went to a cathedral high above the clouds. It was made of wood with many carvings of angels and crosses. Wisdom of the journey was revealed but I cannot remember them, but I remember the emotions. I truly believe I was in heaven albeit a short time. Praise to god , the lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit whom dwell in such a place.

@BrooksLehnig Год назад

A great ambient set piece! (It's the difference between music that does and doesn't demand your attention. Both can be supportive to the soul.) The ability to manipulate and shape the reverb is very exciting. You done a great job here, Aaron! It's one of the attractive features in virtual pipe organ software like Hauptwerk (which I am playing with) to be able to play these cathedral instruments in their native space. Were the background images from your recent European trip (Ely Cathedral... I think)?

@aaronshows Год назад

Thanks, Brooks!! Yep, it's Ely Cathedral, which I thought was especially beautiful among the places I visited. One of my future dreams for this channel is to build a home (well, apartment for me) Hauptwerk setup and be able to livestream and record using various instruments around the world. Just gotta have that one necessary aspect: funds! But yes, in the meantime, this was a new experiment in morphing the acoustic of the instrument I currently play. I wore headphones while I played and heard the extra reverb in real-time, which was super useful. I'll likely do more of these!

@BrooksLehnig Год назад

@@aaronshows Super! Don't give up on the dream. I just completed my own build. It took 9 months, but finally gave birth... I'm loving it.

I love this already and it’s been. I was an organist earlier in this life and improvisation could become a meditation and a prayer. If anyone’s wondering, the picture is Ely Cathedral. In the top middle of the picture is the octagonal Lantern. This is the story I believe, the more usual Central tower collapsed at some point, and the cathedral put in this eight sided lantern (built 1328-1342) which lets in an incredible amount of light, as well as being very beautiful from the inside and out. I’ve also heard that. There are eight pieces of great lumber as part of this lantern, and that when it was built in Oak Forest was planted for the times in the future, when great lumber would again be needed.
