Another of me playing the Compton electrone organ at People's Chapel in the Hockley area of Birmingham, West Midlands.
In contrast to the other video, im playing a hymn called 'Sleep, Holy babe' which makes use of the softer sounds available on the organ. The first verse off starts with the Salicional stop on the swell. In the second verse can be the heard the swell Clarinet accompanied by the Gemshorn on the great. I chose this particular hymn because it is called 'Edgbaston' which is the name of an area of Birmingham!
Many thanks to Rob Clarke for allowing me access to this fine Compton organ and for being so welcoming.
NOTE: this is purely my interest in order to make sure that these fine organs are archived forever and I do not make any monetary profit by this video being on dailymotion.
