My name is Joel Alexander and I'm a 16-year-old violinist. I'm considering pursuing violin studies in college and plan to post about my journey toward this decision. I'll occasionally share solo and ensemble performances on this channel. I have 4 younger brothers who are also up and coming string players. Watch for their cameo appearances.

Very nice, indeed. This kid has talent. Hope to see more.
Beautiful!
It might be a great request, but could you make a video on the individual stops and stop combinations of this organ? I'm currently building my own pipe organ an I would like to gather some inspiration regarding the dispozition.
That's an awesome project! Yes, I hope to post a video demonstrating each stop once they are all tuned.
Very soothing and calm. Both violin and organ blended well.
Thank you!
Really marvelous! Why aren't these standard in practice rooms today?
Thank you!
@@Alexander_Acoustics I've always loved Riegers and clever miniaturization -- way before digits came along ;)
I know the big organs get all the attention, but I have a real soft spot for well-designed small organs. The school where I got my Master's had this perfectly fine and complete (yet neglected) little unit organ in their choir room. Had a nice principal, it had mixtures, it had a flute, it had a string celeste, and it had a reed! The whole thing tucked up neatly into a corner and I don't think it took up much more floor space than a concert grand, thanks in part to an electric action. The tuning was marginal at best for the mixtures and the upper notes of the reed, but I loved that thing! I think the powers that be got rid of it not long after I graduated though.
Rieger makes excellent organs, I would love to have one of these at home. I would love to hear a demonstration going through all 23 ranks once those mixtures are in order.
Yes, once we get them all tuned, I'll be sure to post another video.
Very glad musik and brilliant played! Was in St. Louis for over 20 years ago with school. God bless You! Greetings from Westfalia (Germany)
Thank you so much!
When I was a student at NEC in the late 60's we had one. I was never impressed.
Nice playing. Especially the fine gentleman on right. 😂
It was an honor to play with you.
Lovely variety of stops. Thanks for demo'ing the organ.
Thank you!
Lovely. Thank you !
What is the full stop list of this organ?
Here's the stop list for this organ: Positive Stops: Tremulant, 8' Krummhorn, Cymbal II, 1' Sifflote, 2' Principal, 1-1/3' Quint, 4' Hohlflute, 8' Gadeckt. Great Principal: Mixture III, 2' Spitz Principal, 4' Principal 8' Principal (Tenor C up) Great Flutes: 1-3/5' Tierce (Middle C up) 2-2/3' Nazat (Middle C up) 4' Koppel Flute 8' Rohrflute Pedal Stops: 16' Rankett 4' Schalmei Rauschbass II 4' Bourdon 8' Bourdon 16' Bourdon
I'd love to know how they got 23 ranks of pipes in something that compact.
It was quite the feat. They used every last inch of space in this organ.
❤
Lovely! Thank you! Greetings from UK. 🎉🎉
So beautiful!
The pronunciation of 'Positiv' as 'Positeef' sounds rather comical to me. In the UK, we would call it 'precious'(!) 23 ranks in something so small is certainly remakable.
Wow, that's very interesting. Yes, the instrument is full of pipes. It's truly fascinating.
Hi! There is a 16' stop?
Yes, there is in fact.
@@Alexander_Acoustics wow!
Can you provide its stop list written, please?

What a wonderful instrument! I get to play pipe organs in three different churches each weekend.
That's awesome!
Thank you for this. I was hoping that you would do a demonstration. Look forward to hearing it in future videos. By the way, Joel, I knew your mom when she worked in Oak Brook years ago. I think she played the piano for me on several occasions. Keep up the good work on the violin.
Thank you so much for sharing this! That's so cool.
Beautiful
As an organist this so soooo cool! What wss the piece he played at the end?
It's a hymn, forget the name.
The tune is called Duke Street.
@@lowellsmith7556 Thank you. Was driving me mad.
@@lowellsmith7556 thanks!
The name of the hymn is "Jesus Shall Reign"
What a gift to have this instrument in your home. The sound is lovely.
Thank you!
Joli orgue.
I hadnt expected the back of it to be so stunningly beautiful!
It really is beautiful.
Which is the complete stop list?

@@TheOrgan1st This is similar. Here's the stop list for this organ: Positive Stops: Tremulant, 8' Krummhorn, Cymbal II, 1' Sifflote, 2' Principal, 1-1/3' Quint, 4' Hohlflute, 8' Gadeckt.

Thank you! More details. More details. More details. . . .
Yes, we're looking forward to sharing more about this organ in the future.
Thanks for this excellent video!
Thank you!
Wonderful performance! What book is this piece in? I’d like to play it, but have not been able to find the music anywhere online.
👍....Wow....fits neatly in a cozy corner of an average room. Fantastic sound. How much would one of these cost shipped and ready for assembly here in the USA?
Pretty much more than the cost of a Steinway concert grand piano
This type of organ was only made in the 1950's, but you might be able to find a used one for sale.
@@Alexander_Acoustics ---Too bad this didn't catch on and be offered as a custom kit to those who might be interested. Just saying.
Beautiful organ!! Thanks!
Thank you!
I WANT that organ. Of course, I'd have to build a new room onto my house first.
Wow! Amazing virtuoso on the organ!
Thanks so much!
I'm not that familiar with organs in general and I had no idea that they made organs that could be used in a personal residence. The WWII backstory of this particular type is very interesting. I'm glad it found a good home with people who will use and appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
Para los organistas que se lo pueden permitir es una herramienta indispensable para poder practicar a diario, pero obviamente suelen ser instrumentos aún más pequeños, y bueno, gracias a Dios hay organos digitales
To me this is really exciting. Thank you for sharing. because of this amazing organ and the wonderful, talented violin playing, I decided to subscribe to your channel.
Thank you so much!
I love your music room set up. Very well played :D
Nice pipe organ :)
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful instrument with us. Please add more organ and violin videos :)
Of course, thank you!
Vraiment très beau. Merci
Thank you!
Played very beautiful. But the organ needs a tuning
Yes, it hasn't been completely fine-tuned yet. It's also tuned to A 445, so it sounds slightly different.
Amazing composition and interpretation! Thanks
Thank you!
What are the organ spects? Very beautiful instrument.
Can you provide the organ stop list, please? Congratulations on posting such a beautiful composition!
Thank you! There will be a video coming soon that will have a list of the different stops.
Please tell us ALL about that delightful pipe organ. What a delight to have that at home.
It is a delight. I'll share a video with information about the organ soon.
Excellent.
Thank you!
Love your ornate Rieger. Denton Tx has 5 small ones from the 70s. Beautiful playing guys❗️
Thank you! Yes, we love the Rieger.
I'm assuming you mean at the universities. I graduated from NTSU in the 70s and played on a nice little organ in one of the Episcopal churches there. Man, I wish I still had access to that organ. 😁
NTSU has only one Rieger, from the 70s. Both Episcopal churches had Riegers, St. David of Wales has a twin of UNT’s and St. Barnabus has a model similar to the one in this clip. Trinity Presbyterian now has the house Rieger of Ali’s Adkins. Unsure of the whereabouts of Donald Willing’s unique 3 manual instrument.
@@David-HPC1904 Oh wow! thanks for the info. I subbed on the organ at St. Davids. Interesting to know it's a Rieger. I have fond memories of playing/practicing on that organ late into the night. Actually, I think I left my organ shoes there when I left Denton. LOL
Lovely organ ! Any information about contructor ? Thank you for that wonderful Melody in the Violin ❤❤❤
Rieger is a European builder, many Rieger organs in churches in Slovakia etc it's an old company
Thank you!
Brilliantly done, Gentlemen! Bravo, Sirs! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
