Paul Fey, a German organist, plays the famous ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ on one of America’s grandest pipe organs at the National City Christian Church in Washington DC.
Paul chose the perfect instrument for his performance: the church’s magnificent 129 rank Möller Organ. This remarkable instrument includes special Chamdes Spanish Trumpets and an impressive 64 foot stop.
Georg Friedrich Handel wrote the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ in 1741 as part of his masterwork ‘Messiah’. This music tells the greatest story ever told.
The ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ celebrates Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords. When we hear it during Christmas, it takes us back to that holy night in Bethlehem.
People who watched Paul’s performance online felt its power. “All the heavenly hosts are rejoicing!” one viewer wrote. Another shared, “Absolutely beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes and gives me chills!”
The Möller Organ’s rich sounds filled every space in the National City Christian Church. We call the pipe organ “the king of instruments” for good reason.
Each of the 129 ranks worked together to create music worthy of Handel’s masterpiece. The Spanish Trumpets and deep bass notes made the performance even more powerful.
