Dale's Divertissements

O Sacred Head Now Wounded arranged by Johann Gottfried Walther.

I heard this hymn for the first time on Good Friday and has since been a staple of Good Friday. This arrangement is by John Ferguson and the organist is Dale Burkholder featuring the trumpet en chamade.

The beloved Hymn “Softly and Tenderly” as arranged by Joel Raney.

Holy Holy Holy Pianist: Dale Burkholder, Arranged by Jerry Ray.

Today Joel Raney gives us a sensative meditation on the beloved hymn “Be Thou My Vision”. May God surround you with love and comfort today.

Today I am taking you to one of my favourite churches – The Heinz Memorial Chapel on the grounds of the University of Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania). While there we wil listen to JS Bach’s Prelude in E Minor (The Cathedral)

No list of UFMCC hymns is complete without including “Our God is like an eagle”. What a strong affirmation of the motherhood of God. Today we include the “unofficial” 5th verse…. Our God both male and female and neither male or female – Our God is I who am!!!

Dale Burkholder playing the “Hymn of Promise” as arranged by John Carter.

Time to open the windows, turn up the volume and glorify God!!!

One of my favourite organ (and choral) pieces. Benedetto Marcello’s Psalm 19. Keep on looking to God!
