Thank you for this! God is good! A gentleman from our church played it every year at Christmas and Easter. He has developed Parkinson’s desease and just two days ago had a stroke. Hearing you play this brings me joy as I pray for him and also for my husband who is battling cancer. God is good!!
I love it because even though there is only one instrument, you cover all the aspects of the piece and Handel composed this piece for a choir and a full orchestra!
Very well spoken, Graham Daniels. I always played, but for the choir to sing. Jonathan managed to gather the accompaniment and the choir part at the same time. Amazing. Master's attitude.
Mozart arranged it for full orchestra from what I understand. The original is a fairly small ensamble in comparison with strings, harpsicord, and trumpet.
I remember when our "new" organist performed this on Easter Sunday in our church (my home town is very small about 1.500 people). Unfortunately he was playing here only for 3 years. And next one isn't even close.
What a wonderful way to celebrate the first day of the new year!!! Jonathan an amazing musician, as is his brother. I have never encountered two brothers with such enormous talent! Gina Dodds, Bellmore, NY USA
Clever use of stops, so all comes out clear and part melody on pedals , altogether a really enjoyable performance as usual. Again many thanks for Tom for first class sound and editing. What a fantastic start to the new year.
I love coming on RU-vid and finding something new on the "Scott Brothers Duo" page. I'm sure your admirers also got used to these beautiful gifts every week. There's nothing like starting the first day of the year with Handel's Hallelujah. And you, Jonathan, who is from the composer's land, honor your homeland and the beautiful composition, a piece of this wonderful Messiah oratory, which the world will never tire of hearing. Thank you so much Jonathan and Tom. Happy 2022 to you and all of us! 🙂
Yes, you're right. 👍👍 I got used to seeing Handel as British and forgot about this detail. I was unfair to the German people. I apologize. But luckily the two countries are on the same continent. 😬 😜 😀 😂 😎
I love the work too! I saw it live tonight and the program notes describe it as "transcending any dogmatic bounderies". As a Pagan I certainly get to speak on this; I wholeheartedly agree with the program notes.
Wish I could have heard it in person with those deep base note going through me for want of a better word and body and soul become as one with the divine music . Sigh . Really terrific Jonathan and of course Tom .
Gracias Jonathan, gracias Tom por los momentos musicales en el año que se fué. Lo mejor para ustedes en este 2022. Abrazo. (Juve Flores.) desde México.
Stunning, I used to sing the high notes as a Treble in the Humphry Davy Grammar School choir and I've loved it ever since. Really nicely portrayed on the organ as always
This is wonderful, Jonathan!! Next, may you transcribe the Amen Chorus/"Worthy Is the Lamb That Was Slain" for organ? Also, Happy New Year to one of, if not *the* best organist of our age!
Superb, and a vast improvement on the version with choir and orchestra, as usual. I wonder how many years that solo reed spends in silence, waiting for its moment in the spotlight? Many thanks.
Fantastic.... the greatest halleluja song worldwide... thank you, from the lovely performamce like your others videos... 🙂... I wish you a good new year 2022 and a lot of grets from south tyrol/italy 🙂
While probably more of an Easter anthem, the glorious Hallelujah Chorus is uplifting any day and in every season. I’ve sung the tenor part many times in church and college choirs and always thrill to hear this heaven inspired chorus. As always, Jon and Tom brought new life, beauty and force to it. Thanks so much for going the extra musical mile all through this difficult pandemic. A fully blessed New Year to you two.
The Messias - Handel oratory has several beautiful ones. There are even some parts that would be good for Easter. We're already fixing things for his head rsssss...
Fantastic acoustics...Beautiful church...Such Happy music to hear in these perilous and unhappy times.Thank you Handel and Johnqthon and Oh Tom for the wonderful footage
This is actually a city hall, not a church. Awesome to see a city preserve something like this, especially considering the inner workings of the organ had to be entirely rebuilt after being destroyed by the Nazis (as I understand this is more of a Compton than a Foster&Andrews).

Brilliantly played on a magnificent instrument! Always love seeing and hearing you play, especially the Hull City Hall organ of my home city. Sadly I was unable to attend your November 2021 concert there with the Hull Philharmonic, was the Glinka Ruslan & Ludmila Overture on the programme your wonderful organ arrangement?
Jonathon, a truly magnificent transcription that captures the wonder and awe of this masterpiece. Tom, your videography captures the grandeur of both the music and the cathedral (Hull City Hall).
Fantastic performance on a glorious instrument! I'm torn between this instrument losing its illuminated "buttons" in favour of the drawstops on the new console, but for me the drawstops win hands down!

An excellent playing of the composition. If I could offer one thought as to improvement, it would be that John should insert strategic pauses throughout the piece so as to give the acoustics of the building time to reinforce the song. Insert pauses so the acoustics can work their magic. A second thought: when recording these songs, the Scott Bros need to turn up the recording volume. If its too loud, we can always turn it down, but once we're at 100%, we can't go any higher.

I used to be soprano in the choir. After I ended up on the organ, I don't even know what suit I am today. Maybe "soprauto", soprano + contralto hahaha...
@@joshuasanchez7577 It's been a long time since I sing. I think maybe I should still be a soprano. What I do know is that I've saved the choir and church by singing several times. It is part of the organist's job. Hehehe... 🙏🏾
