I recently was in Florence and entered a Church where this piece was played.
It blew me away how beautiful this was!
Now i'm hoping that it is an existing piece so I can listen to it in full.
First, welcome to the Forum. I hope you enjoy your time here.
I listened to the video, but was unable to identify the piece because the organ was so out of tune. It sounds like someone was improvising on the organ, though.
I'm sorry I couldn't help more.

Way too many organs to list, but I do have 5 Allens:
i'm no expert on organ music actually So I believe you when you say it sounds out of tune. In that Church it soundend heavenly!
Maybe it is improvising or something he wrote. Hopefully someone will recognise it. Really looking for the original.
thanks
Three hundred year old organ which hasn't been tuned in two hundred. Yikes! It does sound like an improvisation to me - a little bit like "You can't always get what you want" by the Rolling Stones.
I know that stereotyping can often lead to dangerous asumptions, but when I listened to your recording, I thought:
- the performer is under the age of 25, maybe even under the age of 22;
- they have learned to play their favorite pop piece on the piano and are playing now playing it on the organ;
- they have not yet learned that "stops" allow you to "stop" the sound of out-of-tune ranks, especially mixtures;
- they get full marks for at least trying.
I think it's a pop piece because of the harmonic progressions, and in fact, it sounds like something from the last 5-10 years. Unfortunately, pop music is not my forte. I wonder if someone who knows pop music well could identify it?
This old organ sounds horrible. The reeds are unique.

Your translation is excellent, SubBase.
This phrase is often tranlated into idiomatic English with an air of aloof disgust as: "Well, there's no accounting for taste! Sniff!!
