Hi Chas
The performance is irrelevant; it was just posted to show one of the many adaptions of arrangers to dual keyboards and pedals. (This is what the post is about)

You only have to look at the average age in most of the organ videos to realize just how much longer this is going to remain relevant, even in Europe. Yes, I know there are 'enthusiast' audiences for organ music, but there are also enthusiast audiences for crumhorn and sackbut ensembles, and it doesn't make THEM any more relevant to today than that...

When that generation dies out (and that performance is doing its' part!), who's left but the players alone? Might as well take up the virginal. At least some decent composers wrote for THAT...

Who ARE relevant European keyboard players today? Muse, and the like. And they SURE don't play home organs (or arrangers!)

I know, Bill. Just having a little fun with Ian. Some of his comments and responses make me laugh and that's what helps me enjoy some otherwise boring posts (not saying that this is one of them ). In my defense, I did give a serious answer to the original post (C1 with extra voices).
