Behind the scenes of those terrific Garner Fugues
Here is a wonderful video that composer David Garner produced for our project of premiering his seven Fugues for organ in April 2021 at the Congregational Church in Berkeley, Calif.

This is the popular C Major Praeludium by Buxtehude. I adore this piece, and this organ appears to, as well. Brombaugh organ, Iowa State, September 26, 2021.
There are other videos of me playing the Widor 7th. But now it's finally memorized! This is from a live performance on April 4, 2022. Please enjoy.
My school of music hosts a huge annual Holiday Scholarship Concert. But in 2020, we couldn't do that, thanks to Covid. So all the ensembles and other groups made videos to broadcast in place of the live concert. Here is my contribution, Keith Chapman's thrilling arrangement of "Bring a torch, Jeanette Isabella."
This video is not one but several of my greatest achievements:
1) FINALLY, after 17 years there, I created a demo video of the Casavant where I teach.
2) I did the various demos and performance in single takes. Couldn't believe it. When it was done, I said to my student Sarah, who had been wielding the camera, "Let's get out of here before I want to do anything again."
3) I learned how to use iMovie along the way. Old dog, new tricks and all that.
I'm proud of this, and I hope you will enjoy it. And since it demonstrates the teaching organ, then I have also cross-posted it on my Facebook page, my studio's Facebook page, my YouTube channel, the studio's YouTube channel, and all my various American Guild of Organists chapters for posting. Surely this will take over the world.
