Pan Flute Performance Of 'When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder'

Listen to this beautiful pan flute performance of 'When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder' by David Döring.


“When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more, And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair; When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore, And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.”

David is playing the pan flute in this video, and the instrument has such a peaceful sound when it’s played. While he is playing 'When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder,' he starts to play the song faster and in a higher key as it continues on.

‘When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder’ is a hymn from 1893, and the words and music are by James Milton Black. The song has since been translated into at least 14 languages and sung all over the world in a variety of Christian denominations. And there are more than 500 versions of the traditional tune recorded by various artists such as Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Jim Nabors, and Willie Nelson.

David Döring shares about his affinity for the pan flute on his YouTube page. “At the age of 6, I started taking violin lessons at the music school. At the age of 12, I heard the best known and best pan flutist, Edward Simoni, play,” he writes.

He was so influenced by that performance, that David switched from playing the violin to playing the pan flute. “Since then I have devoted myself exclusively to this fascinating instrument,” he shares. “It is important to me to reinterpret old and well-known songs.”

We hope that you enjoyed this lovely performance and it was able to brighten your day in some way!
