24 Best Traditional Hymns Ever Written

Where's Caroline?

Hemelse glorie,!

I'm fascinated by your journey playing historic pipe organs around the UK. Bringing life to such historic instruments.
Organist Sergio de Pieri in Australia did the same thing promoting the instruments in the historic areas of the gold rush era. Ballarat, Clunes, Maryborough.
Sergio was the director of this festival for over ten years. He was the former organist at St. Patrick's Cathedral Melbourne in the 70's, and taught organ at the Melbourne University.
Sergio is now in his 90s and lives between Italy and Australia and still performs in each country.

what are the recommendations for tablets and software for scores please? What is the most economical and effective?

Traditional hymns of old are simply the BEST and you played them very well, the way the should be played.

👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🚴‍♂️📻👌

Wonderful renditions of these lovely old hymns. Long live the pipe organs.
Too many guitars and drums nowadays together with singers distorting the beautiful original melodies .

SO thrilling. The SBC we attend does the "praise" music thing, some good, some not so good. Shallow and repetitive. Since I grew up with this, I will always love the rich melodies and the truths this hymns expound. The organ, played so expertly, does them justice brilliantly! What of our children who are not exposed to this majesty?

Sickening

There is something Majestic about pipe organs, such beautiful melodies! To God be all Glory, honor, and Praise!!
Many thanks and Blessings to the Organist!

I've listened to this so much that I think the recording is getting worn out. 🥰😉

I am one of the fortunate ones whose American church sings almost all of these hymns on a regular basis. And our organ is a 4 manual 94 rank Casavant of recent vintage.

Our American organist got his degrees from both Yale and Eastman before spending a few years as the first organ scholar at Royal Albert Hall and then on to Canterbury Cathedral as the Assistant Organist. Somebody in our congregation quietly and anonymously ponied up quite a chunk of change to steal him away! But it also shows the cut of cloth we have for a senior pastor that this sort of music is what we desired to have to truly worship God.

The choir consists of multiple music majors from the local University and far more members with music degrees already logged in our backgrounds. We are blessed. And in East Texas we truly are a one-of-a-kind church!

For our Fine Arts Series, we recently had Peter Holder of Westminster Abbey perform. It was heart stopping! Having played at the funerals of both Prince Phillip and then Queen Elizabeth, he next played for Charles’ coronation.

As my 88 year old mother had watched Elizabeth’s coronation live 70 years ago on a tiny black and white TV, and then her funeral services live again now, this concert by Peter was for her the ultimate capstone to mark both ends of that remarkable era of history which she had lived completely through that exceeded even that of Queen Victoria. It’s been weeks now but she’s still floating on air.

As I said, we are blessed. And grateful.

Magnificent.

❤

Thanks!

Wonderful playing of Ora Labora! Definitely T. Tertius Noble's best hymn tune, and one of the most under-used melodies in the Anglican repertoire.

All the Hymns are fantastically played by a brilliant master Musician and fabulous Organist in Richard, Many thanks ,by the way all these hymns are all played at various CofE ,Episcopalian, Anglican Churches around the world. Thanks again Richard, Caroline, Hugo and your new arrival. Hymns are forever. I go back 85 yrs in my St. David`s Anglican Cathedral, Hobart Tasmania, Australia.

Thanks

So beautiful!! Thank You🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍😊🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏

Thank you for the work you put into this. Excellent, solid material you have chosen. When I saw the title of the video, I thought it must surely more of those popular, happy-clappy, tin-horn ditties which have so swamped the music of the church here in the United States for the last hundred years or more (largely the result of American Revivalist movements of the 18th-19th centuries.). Thank goodness, you broke that mold and gave us the grand music ! I think it was St Augustine of Hippo who wrote, "He who sings, prays twice." I grew up with the great, traditional hymnody of the Anglo-Catholic C-of-E world, and finding it here again in your video gives me great delight. Thank you, Sir, from a Traditionalist in the Queen's often-uncultured and often-uncouth Colonies !

"for all the saints" !!!!!

WOW! Thank you inspiring love the organist😍😍😍😍😍 and the beautiful church😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Jee whiz Richard - when I hear you play, I get water in my eyes!

Hi Richard, these all sound incredible! I'm a student filmmaker making a film about a church for a final project. Would it be possible for me to use part of this audio in my film? The film isn't for profit and will not be shown outside of my class.

My husband plays the organ every Sunday, two services.

It’s amazing how many people are so thankful that he plays and that our church uses a lot of hymns and then a little bit of the new ones. There’s nothing like an organ in a church. And heartbreaking. If there’s an organ, they don’t even use.

Really cool ... amazing. Just playng ever and ever again ....🎹

This is good for the soul :-) . You don't just play beautifully and powerfully but the onging dynamic stop/combon/manual changes, swells etc you use really fit and enhance the meaning of the words. Very clever and skillful. Real worship leading. Thank you.

As much as I tried I could not hear or recognise the melodies, for me, way too much registration.

This is perfect background music for my role at work. In the midst of chaos and dealing with "worst case scenarios" (insurance underwriter) this playlist is the antidote of peace. I love it so much. Thank you, @RichardMcVeigh. Greetings from Western Canada.

So beautiful🌹🌹🌹Thank You so very much!

Thanks!

Praise God!

Marvelous, merveilleux, merci beaucoup!

Such a majestic instrument the pipe organ. Fantastic to hear nice and loud! Brilliant performances

I'm worshiping with this beautiful organ music as I'm snowed in on Reformation Sunday in Colorado. It is truly a gift of heavenly music. Thank You

Gorgeous and wonderfully expressed renditions of some truly powerful hymnody....and I'm thrilled to see another organists playing pedals without shoes!!! You do a wonderful job pulling stops and keeping the music going. God bless.

Of these 24 "greatest" hymns, I have only heard of 5. Perhaps your net was not flung widely enough.

Watching tonight in Southern Australia - have been unwell, and these pieces, so well known and so much loved, are truly a healing spirit for mind and soul. Thank you Richard - I'd love to be there in some of those remarkable English churches - such amazing heritage!

I am truly enjoying these hymns

Let all the world in every corner sing! I love this; thanks so much!

Just found this ama,ing channel. Thank you Richard for bringing these wonderfu! hymns to us on these magnificent instruments. For me, this is how worship should be.

Very beautiful ! I am familiar with most of the hymns as we used to sing them in the church or home. I live in Fort Cochin, South India. We are members of the historic St . Francis Church. Built in 1503. Underwent many renovations under the Portuguese, Dutch & British Rule who ruled. Vasco Dama died in Cochin and was buried in the church. And the gravestone is preserved . This is the attraction for tourists from all over the world who visit this church round the year . The remains of Vasco da Gama were removed and taken to Portugal, a few years after it was buried here. The church is Anglican and belongs to the Church of South India. My grandfather, was the organist here till his death. My father was the organist from 1948 to 1978 . My elder brother was the organist after that till 2018. Those days the organ was leg operated to pump the air . The picture of this church can be seen on Wikipedia ( St. Francis Church, Fort Cochin)

I like church music and love to listen. It make me think of a lot of things and also I sing in a church choir and I know the hymns

Thank you dear Richard, God bless you - and tahnk you for starting with the incomparable "Jerusalem", you have brought much joy and the Spirit of the true and Almighty LIVING GOD.

Growing up in the Catholic church, the organ set the foundation for my musical growth....I learned to play starting at age 8 :-)

非常感动再次听这管风琴奏出的古老圣詩。

Great, Richard!!
