Christmas Carols Played on my Hauptwerk Virtual Organ Featuring Salisbury Cathedral UK

What you are listening to is my home computer with the Salisbury Cathedral "Father Willis" Pipe organ's "Hauptwerk" Sample set.

Many of these carols I'd never played before so most of this performance was fairly unrehearsed, the rest was rusty :-) so please keep that in mind when commenting on my playing. Much of the music I used had different harmony to that which I am used to.
Also, the contacts on my keyboard are wearing out making some notes appear to "pop" and cause some irregular timing (and making me go wrong!).

The idea of this upload is to demonstrate the Salisbury Cathedral Organ in its digital form and to help improve my playing as well as for my rapidly growing fan base to enjoy.

I have put the brilliant Tuba, Tuba Clarion, Clarinet and Oboe stops to good use for playing the tune as a solo in various places. I have also probably over used the 32 foot pedal stops! Don't blame me if your speaks blow up.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, polite comments will be replied to.

I took all the pictures myself on one of my visits to Salisbury Cathedral in 2012.
