Dale's Divertissements

Gordon Young paints a unique view of Psalm 23. Starting with “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death” he leads us to the “still water” and “green pastures”. In this journey our souls are restored. Truely “He leadeth me”….

This arrangement of How Great Thou Art (By Albert Zabel) is more of a walk though nature than the celebration hymn we are more familiar with.

With today’s visit we take a walk along the shores of Lake Erie near Kingsville and Leamington. Although the tune is “Deep River” I think it works. The arranger is an comporary African-American composer – Aldophus Hailstork. I hope you enjoy this time of rest.

Gordon Young arranged this beloved hymn about the Bible.

What wonderful words of comfort – No matter what Jesus is with us.

Let’s take a walk today.

A bit of organ and a bit of ocean for today. Pachelbel’s Toccata in Eminor played by Dale Burkholder.

One of the most powerful songs in my repitoire. “How can I say thanks for all GOD had done for me…” My Tribute written by Andre Crouch and arranged by Dino Kartsonakis.

Thank you to my organ teacher Carolyn Slaugh for this piece. I play it often. Her husband passed away recently and I have dedicated it to Philip Slaugh. Rest in peace.

Today is a behind the scenes look at the Epworth United Church Organ. Organist: Dale Burkholder, Arranger Gordon Young.
