December 5: Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella for Organ | Richard Elliot

Do you remember where you were when you heard a truly awesome song? This French carol is one of those songs for me! I was in the Salt Lake Tabernacle about 1999 and I remember looking at all the pipes and being in awe of their massive sound during this arrangement. After I came home from the broadcast, I found out my Dad had recorded this song on the VCR…I watched it over and over. This is a more recent recording.

Some thoughts about this arrangement:
• It sounds like he’s messing up a few times…but he’s not. He’s spot on.
• How quick his feet move!!
• And his hands!!!

I won’t bother posting the lyrics because you’ll be so involved in the moving hands, feet and beat that you’ll feel the spirit of this song! In Christmas 2013, I was sitting in my car waiting to go into my work to meet with a client and I was blasting this song...little did I know my client walked by my car and heard me "rocking" out to the organ! :)

 Go ahead and blast this song a few times!

Arranged by: Keith Chapman
