Diane Bish - Variations on All Creatures of Our God and King, arr. by Bish 

Her effortless technique is timeless. Her dexterity and fluidity on the manuals, and her supple pedal technique is jaw-droppingly amazing. She makes it look so easy, which of course, it is not. She exudes joy and passion on the bench and it is infectious. She is so precise, yet her playing is alive, searching, probing, colorful, and touches the core of one's deepest soul. She is one of my very favorite organists.

she is an amazing organist and such a inspiration to church music. i can listen all day. I was able to see her in concert once, what a wonderful lady.

I just heard Diane Bish live yesterday and it was the best organ playing I have ever heard. I felt like I was in Heaven. She played this as the first piece of the concert.

Diane, you are the absolute best of the best! Thank you for sharing you gift with the world! You are loved!

Pipe organ music made me cry at its beauty when I was 5 And it still does at almost 65! I played pipe organ myself and it seemingly puts one in the presence of GOD Himself!! Amen😊

Outstanding. All Praise, Glory, Laud, and Honor to Jesus Christ our King Eternal. Thank you for posting so an invalid like me can be closer to God. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I love this song all together and she made me love it even more

I have this score too and it is quite fun to play! The intro is awesome!

The great lady of the organ as always performing in a manner most sublime and authoritative.

I love Diane,she is graceful women!

Clear cantus firmus with great variations in the other voices. At all time I could clearly hear the choral. Well done, Madame. Best wishes from Hamburg/Germany

st francis of asisi will be proud Diane. The Lord liveth through music like this.

I came for the Final Fantasy 'sync up'. I stayed because this blessed lady plays the organ like a demon. Angel? Thank you for not disabling comments. You're a trooper.

The grandeur of a pipe organ lends to the magnificent God to which this song infers.

I’ve began learning this piece, and strangely enough, the same movements! Great minds. ;) She’s just so fabulous.

Amazing, pure amazing.

This is AMAZING!!! It makes me want to learn the pipe organ even more

Bravo Diane! Superb as always!

I would love to meet Mrs. Diane Bish in person someday!

Outstanding!

@nmp0627 That's what they call a "beauty shot". It's a shot of the organ facade filmed at a separate time, then in post production, the beauty shot is merged with the performance. This is done to enhance the music by showing other views instead of just a close up of the console all the time.

Fantastic organist

Everytime I listen to the boss music of ff8 i will have this granny rocking out to it in my mind.... thank you??

Hi there, I'd love the score, if possible please? :) Many thanks from the UK

Beautiful !!!!

Holy crap... That stuffs intense....

Having a fabulous afternoon here listening to Diane and other organists. Fascinated by the pedals taking over the melody there. Wonderful. There's another hymn tune 'Dear Lord and Father of Mankind'. I remember years ago singing this in a big church and the organist played some discordant chords on the words 'let sense be dumb' and wondered what was going on, but realised it was for effect - and what an effect. Before serenity took over again 'oh still small voice of calm.' There was also some sort of rumbling/tremolo work, but not sure if it was tremeloing on the usual octaves in the base, like on a piano. Any ideas what the organist would have done, please? Could Diane possibly do a version of this hymn tune please? Thanks. Gaius

heard this last night when she played in Atlanta

YesYesYoureRight - You tend to fund this with female organists (not church organists). I remember being at the Royal Albert Hall for the 60th Anniversary of the Royal School of Church Music which I sang Bass. Judith Weir played the Finale from Symphony No 1 by Vierne (great piece). Judith was dressed in a similar fashion. I think the reason it is so that they can play the organ without a flowing dress in the way eg you need to be able to use the pedals. Whilst a man would wear trousers what would a lady wear? Yes garish but I suspect for reasons of playing the organ these outfits are probably the best thing for a female organist to wear. In the UK the organist wears a cassock which can be flicked back over the organists seat. This is a variation on theme. But concert organists tend to be what is termed fireworks and this adds to the flare if but a bit old fashioned.

A great song! A small part of the song sounds like "Freu dich, du Himmelskönigin".

Very good)!!!

the pipeworks sound very close to her Rufatti in CG FLA

@vinniecaruso would you send me too the score?? I love so much this hymn and Miss Bish!! I'm a brazilian boy, thank you so much!!!

Who sent you here? Pokemon, Doom 2 or Final Fantasy VIII?

Ich möchte auch so spielen können !!!!!!

Sometimes she doesn't play loud enough, especially all hail the power of Jesus name.

What is she wearing? Waders? . Satin Waders ? o0o

Why does she have music at the beginning but not at 0:57?

Final Fantasy ftw

It's just such a pity that the acoustics in this building are less than pleasant...especially for an instrument of this size. And yes, before anybody starts abusing me, I have heard it in person.
