WOW….What great organists playing on so many different instruments so you hear the same peace in a way you would normally not hear. Also great editing so the piece is flawless.
Fantastic job folks! To be able to get that many organist to agree and play at the same tempo is beyond me! Superior performance folks! Also, this piece is mighty difficult.

I’ve watched this a few times since it was originally posted, and enjoy it each time. Such clever and delightful vids are one of the few bright lights from the Covid era.
This was great! I hope that you will do more videos. This is a great piece to play. It is so difficult and everyone did so well. The editing was great too. It takes talent to line up all the segments, cohesively. There are some really nice organs in the Lancaster area. I would like to know more about the different organs. The organists did a very interesting choice in their selection of stops. A couple of the organs are well voiced for this awesome work of grand organ music. A couple of organs struggle with it. None of the organists seemed to struggle with the piece. I know it was a challenge for each of them in a different way. The tempo, although slow by many modern standards or racehorses, was very nice. Don't let the racehorses intimidate you. You may be (are) closer to the tempo that Widor himself played. I might guess that some of you are taking lessons from Margaret and Deb. You younger people, be bold and pull some more stops. Play with the other manuals. Both the Memorial Methodist Church organ and the Lancaster Church of the Brethren organs are marvelous instruments. Several of the others might fall there too. I want someone to play this piece for my funeral. It will surely wake the dead! To me, this toccata has many similarities to Tu es Petra by Henri Mulet. Busy, busy fingers. Both require big organ. Lots of volume. Great piece to pull lots of stops for very complex tones and intrigue. Where is the music going to lead next? Play it for Sunday morning. It would be an interesting way to start off the morning. The pastor would know that it was time for them to be up on the ball.
