‪@PaulFey‬

This fantastic fanfare on this famous Christmas carol, made it's Canadian debut as the postlude for the Christmas Eve service at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario on Friday, December 25, 2021. This is a recording of the piece made some weeks after the service.


James van den Brink
As an amateur organist, James wishes to share God's gift of music through these simple recordings of the "King of Instruments", the pipe organ, and its music.  Beginning his organ studies at the young age of six with his sister Marguerite de Jonge, he further studied with Niagara organist, Lesley Kingham, MMus.  James is currently the Music Director for St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, has been a church organist for nearly 20 years, accompanied a community choir, Musica Sacra Chorus, for over a decade, and was a long standing member (tenor) of Niagara's premier chamber choir, the Avanti Chamber Singers.  James also serves as President and Treasurer for the Niagara Centre of the Royal Canadian College of Organists (RCCO).  Additionally, he has a professional career as an accountant (CPA, CMA).
