Frohlich soll mein Herze springen (My Heart Shall Jump for Joy) by Helmut Walcha (1907-1991)
A short Christmas piece by Helmut Walcha on the German Advent hymn, Frohlich soll mein Herze Springen. Walcha is well known as an organist, composer, teacher and recording artist. This piece is played here by Geoff Olson, organist of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in St. Paul, MN. The organ is a 1916 Wicks pipe organ with later pipes added by the Hunt Organ Company for a total of 30 ranks. The pipes are supplemented with a Hauptwerk virtual organ system, using the 65-stop 1877 Father Willis Organ at Salisbury Cathedral, England. This piece uses a zimbelstern built by Tim Patterson of Associated Organ Builders. To listen to more of my organ videos, go to www.youtube.com/user/GeoffOlson1039. Hope you enjoy this piece and thanks for listening
