Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel - Viscount Organ Tutorial

The fourth piece in this organ performance tutorial series is Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, written by England’s arguably greatest German import, George Frederick Handel. Jonathan Kingston and Francis Rumsey discuss what one might do with it on the organ, as it’s often asked for at weddings. The piece was originally an orchestral sinfonia from the oratorio Solomon, so to render it on the organ one should probably be aiming for something of the sound of bright string figurations and woodwind contrasts. That suggests the need to register two contrasting manuals up to at least two-foot (fifteenth) flue stops, with a reasonably distinct pedal line to bring out the bass rhythm. It’s very hard to play this piece without pedals, as it’s the pedal line that keeps the steady bass accompaniment going, and the piece misses something essential without it chugging along underneath. This is also what can help to keep the tempo steady, as it’s only too easy for the speed to increase gradually throughout the performance. If the bride and groom wants this at the entrance of the wedding then the piece can usefully be wrapped up after the first couple of pages, if the bride has reached the front by then. If they want it at the end then you’ll have to learn the whole thing and be much more disciplined about your speed control! In this video, you’ll see and hear Jonathan Kingston playing a Viscount Envoy 35-F Physis-based digital organ, which offers a lot of registration flexibility over two manuals and pedals. It was installed with external loudspeakers in St Margaret’s Church for the recording and voiced specifically for the installation.
