Dale's Divertissements

Today we take a tour of one of my favourite locations – Phipps Conservatory, Pittsburgh, PA. Stop and look at the flowers.

Is it ever too late to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus? Everytime we gather on sunday we celebrate Jesus and his rising from the dead.

Another “classic” hymn from my childhood. This time it is me improvising on the piano. Enjoy!

We continue enjoying spring with This joyful Eastertide arranged by Charles Callahan.

Today is the first Sunday after Easter also called “Doubting Thomas Sunday”. It is the day the pastor takes the day off and we hear yet another sermon on Thomas by the deacon. Maybe instead we should focus on the other Scriptures on how to live together in harmony? Alleluia God Bless You!

Here is another fun Gordon Young all around piece. I heard springtime in it – so I retitled it “Praise God for the Springtime” to make it “church” appropriate. Enjoy

Today I am playing a Polish organ with the 1800’s arrangement of the 1100’s hymn Christ is arisen in 2021 using an electronic keyboard and a computer. Truly if Christ were not risen, then the world would be lost.

Easter music is more than “Christ the Lord is risen” or “Up from the gravy”. Today we have the trumpets announcing the Spring of Saints today! Today is the day our God has made – Let us be joyful in it.

Mark Hayes gives the traditional “Sunday after Easter” hymn a brilliant arrangement including the trumpet fanfares to welcome the Conquering Hero.

Joy in the morning, music by Natalie Sleeth in an exciting arrangement by Joel Raney.
