She is a master organist...working in a master piece

Someone invented the camera too...

I don't know where you are but if you ever get the chance to go to the Kelvingrove art gallery and museum in Glasgow's west end where they have a pipe organ recital every day at 1pm (3pm Sundays). The organist is at first floor level and you can view from the balcony from about fifteen feet away, you can even watch the organists feet on a CCTV screen at the same time.

Affirmatif.

Actually they are two different things. Both being just as impressive. Most composers lack the technique to actually play what they write. Not saying Bach did. Who knows? It's not like we have any recordings. 🙂

I don't know what he had in mind, how many people are required to play this piece simultaneously.

The pipe organ and Bach are, to me, the most amazing confluence of divergent strains of the human mind.

You're right 🙂

the very same for me to but in canterbury cathederal

Just the perfect place, the accustics must have been amazing

@@dougaldouglas8842 it was absolutely amazing the sound went right through you

@@john5271 True, and all those movements. This is truly a professional

I was working in the UK and happened into the Winchester cathedral on a Sunday afternoon. A few moments later the organist was practicing this and I was alone listening to this wonderful piece.

Bach in Bach...that's where it, I'm glad to be back

Du talent c'est certain, l'amour de la musique et surtout énormément de travail.

It’s not hard. Just practice four hours a day for ten years and you’ll be ready.

No...takes a lot of practice but Bach is So much fun to play on a pipe organ! He is the Master of masters.

Even Jerry Lee Lewis played where ever he was for 8 hours a day, everyday.

the sheets are a mere orientation and mental note than for reading for here. She knows it essentially from memory. Playing it without any sheets is the next level.

Is it? I mean, the guitar seems pretty daunting and challenging, doesn't it?

@@samr.england613 with organ it matters how much you press the keys and the controls and everything is quite complicated, then there's also the foot pedals. I'd say organ is quite a lot harder to learn to even play decently compared to guitar.

@@Idontknow-mf7tx Maybe man, but I'm not a musician so I don't really know, but I've been told I "have an ear" for good music. At any rate, I'm amazed by any prodigy on the keys or the strings, and it seems to me that both playing the organ or piano or the guitar are equally mathematically complex and really infinite in the combinations. I've heard (unknown) guitarists say things like: 'There are no more riffs to create. Every possible riff has already been composed." In my mind, these are uncreative losers just making excuses. Heck, after Zep, Page never came up with any memorable riff. 'Radioactive'? Well, it ain't 'Heartbreaker' riff, is it.

»The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of The Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of The Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.« (The Gospel of Jesus Christ - Matthew - Chapter 1)

@@samr.england613with the organ you’re essentially using 4 different limbs to play it. Each hand and each foot is doing something separately. Almost like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. An organ is also wayyy harder to just practice on since you’re using an entire building to play. I would definitely say the organ is more difficult to play than a guitar.

have you heard of burgate school and sixth form near fordingbridge

Орган - самый совершенный музыкальный инструмент.

Петров и Баширов, и тот самый солсберийский шпиль?)

My first week before college, my dorm apartment had an organ. Bored and lonely, I started playing this piece hours a day. I hadn't touched a piano for 6 years and could barely read bass clef. By the time school started the next week, I could get through the A part in some recognizable form. It looks crazy hard, but if you break it down into a bunch of piano warm-up exercises, it's doable. 😊

@@dianachung8173 to me, any way you slice it, it’s impressive. Kudos to you!

@@dianachung8173 Diana, you are a great fellow and a very persistent person. After 6 years without practice, everything is forgotten. But still, years of studying the instrument are not wasted. Somewhere in my head it is stored. I recently had an example. I myself, already in adulthood, never sat down at the instrument. A family friend comes to visit me; she once graduated from a children's music school and studied for 8 years. And in general, she no longer sat down at the instrument. Well, maybe she had episodes where she played the piano, but I never heard. And so she sits down at my piano, looks at my notes and begins to play quite confidently with her right hand. I adapted a little and began to use my left hand. True, she was confused and asked me - is this like the note Salt? In a bass clef. That is, she almost immediately began to remember what took me more than a year to figure out. Greetings from Russia. Sorry for my bad English, I am writing through a translator.

Muscle memory is unreal..music always seems to be something that sticks around after Dementia etc. set in. It's one of humanity's only qualities in my opinion lol

And yet you still need an assistant to play this instrument for which you have to build an entire building. No wonder nobody plays Bach.

Vc troxe lágrimas aos meus olhos. Bonita descrição.

And no wonder so many musicians have cited Bach as their biggest inspiration/mentor. Fabulous piece.

At its time, this was a high-tech as things got. To this day, internal settings on CPU's are called registers, named after the registers on an organ.

did Bach know that this piece, played on this type of organ, would require two people?

All manuals have Barker levers to lighten the touch. No need to push keys all that hard.

In my city there is a city auditorium that has one of only 4 Model Opus 904 organs in existence. Costs thousands of dollars (USD) to maintain that beautiful piece of musical art. I was in one of the pipe chambers. Some of those pipes were 3 stories tall. I love the old air driven organs. They have a unique character of sound. The organ is an Ernest M. Skinner Opus 904. Over 4,600 pipes and 54 stops. It was commissioned in 1933 by Doctor W.K. Kellogg.

I’ve no doubt that this organ is just part of a very complex mechanism, you can imagine the massive pipe work and associated mechanisms, truly fabulous sound.

@@tonyv8925 Are you in or around Battle Creek? I would love to see (and hear) that organ!

@@alsuth803 Survivorship bias. There has ALWAYS been folk music, popular music, and yes even bad music. There were so many composers working during the 1700-1800s making derivative, bland music; we simply don't know them because so much time has passed and we tend to only preserve the good ones. Of course the other thing to note is that very very few people were able to make music in the way Bach and others did, because even having access to organs/harpsichords/eventually pianos was the domain of the nobility and those whom they patroned.

As is often said Bach was a gift of God and our performer here is one of the angels

It's "possible" because she is performing Bach's Tocatta on an organ. :) She is, however, very, very good on the keys! Bach composed his 'Tocatta' as a training piece to school students on the organ/keyboard.

@@miraak8523 I didn't know that. Just curious, what do you mean by he, 'gave it away'?

@@miraak8523 That's very interesting, but, I have to say that it's hard to believe that Bach thought his 'Tocatta' was of no real consequence. I mean, that'd be like Jimmy Page dismissing his Stairway to Heaven composition or Zep's 'Kashmir'.

You are so lucky to be in the moment with Bach, mum and grandfather organ

In the 1940's, my father taught organ builder Jan van den Heuvel (from Wieldrecht, Island of Dordrecht, Netherlands) how to ride a bicycle. By the end of the century, Jan van den Heuvel built some of the most magnificent church organs ever (fi those of the St. Eustache, Paris and the Tonhalle, Zürich). Learning how to ride a bicycle, however, confronted him with almost insurmountable difficulties. My father was the only kid in the entire (be it very small) village who had the patience to get him to master the noble art of riding a bicycle. I guess even geniuses suck at something...

May I ask if you created your own midi set-up or purchased a midi console...

@@cassandrasciortino6255 I took an old Conn two manual and added the electronics to convert it to a midi. I also purchased a used manual and wired it up and mounted it above the first two manuals. Also I am using a touch computer screen to select stops and combinations until I figure a way to build a stop panel on each side of the organ. Also recently wire my pedal board (from the Conn) and I am in the process of testing that. I use the free organ software Grandt Organ, and a free organ for a 3M 1P organ based on a large organ in Europe.

@@nicepersonwv361 Thank you very much for your detailed reply! I am not experienced in electronics...but maybe I can find tutorials...otherwise I am looking at a costly console for Hauptwerk...

@@cassandrasciortino6255 Let me go a bit further in my reply. First electronics isn't the issue. You can buy circuit boards that will talk directly with a PC. All you have to is to hook wires from your manuals, pedal board, and maybe stops to these boards and they will work. So the main problem is hooking up the manuals and other to those boards. For example on my Conn the two manuals I had to figure out how to allow each key/note send a signal to the boards. Basically I had to tear the manuals apart and create contacts. The third manual was easier because it came out of a pipe organ and had switches on each note. The pedals also were not wired, just pedals and I had to create switches for them. I did find help to an extent on the web. My stops I have not done because the Conn had about 30 stops and I need close to 50 not even counting the generals or couplers. So I use a PC monitor that has touch on it so I can just touch the displayed stops from the real organ. I select them with my finger or a mouse. I do hope in the future to create a stop board(s) for the organ as a touch screen isn't the same as physically pulling on or pushing off a stop.

@@jaybeckham Thank you so much for your clarification. This helps me enormously. I can visualize what you had to do and it still sounds intimidating especially creating one's own contacts, but perhaps it is not more difficult than rewiring a lamp which I know how to do -- or replacing the motor on my sewing machine was I managed to do also. Above all I need desperately a 32 pedal board since even working on a basic keyboard prepares me enough to play or practice and refine on a wonderful pipe organ I have access to near my home. But the faltering feet and the mystery of the pedal board must be worked out at home...stop boards sound amazing and quite beautiful. Its strange to see laptops and touch screens beside a wood organ that is sure and if it is possible to get the same with stops and thus come closer to playing the pipe organ even better. I am combing ebay for a pedal board--since new they are quite expensive. Your work sounds amazing! Thank you again.

I love your concept! Applies to Mozart's Jupiter Symphony and Michaelangelo's David as well, imo

😊

Three hands and feet. Her assistant got on the pedals at least once, threw switches at the proper times...and flipped the sheet music.

Practice...practice...practice. AND excellent teachers. And most importantly...God's gift of talent.

Easily, if you love the music and identify with it.

It's just like riding a motorcycle. An awful lot nicer to listen too but it's another skill you learn. Just remember not to filter lanes with your pipe organ.

For fun, Bach used to write folk dance pieces that the organist was required to dance the actual steps of the dance on the pedals while playing. Just for fun.
