85 year old organist

[@SphericalCheese]

When you cram the night before the exam

[@zzzut]

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of Mendelssohn spinning in his grave.

[@Engineer9736]

300 rpm?

[@robertomucciorganista]

@@Engineer9736 3000, I believe. At this time I guess he ended up on the other side of the planet ...🤣🤣🤣

[@jimmorgan5612]

Yes, almost sounds like Mendelssohn doesn't it?

[@dmasiello7]

Nailed it.

[@leithmcmurray3381]

i think the organist left her/his spectacles at home!

[@spookyboilol7767]

Looks like someone payed the organist below minimum wage and he decides that he has had enough so then on an important day ruins a march.

[@lollerskates1992]

The guy is up there having a fucking heart attack and all these people do is just laugh.

[@user-tw7jd9pk5v]

Your fucking avatar is giving me a goddamn heart attack.

[@lafawndasnipe2827]

Jesus christ man! It's funny because it's true. My grandpa died that way.

[@MrAccordionPimp]

I love the "pause" at 0:40 - 0:41

[@lunafoxfire]

What an ingenious way to spice up a classic with some harmonic and rhythmic complexity! The improvised chord progression was especially astounding.

[@wurlitzer895]

It's a gift....

[@caseyn.9416]

My church’s organist is 89 years old and still plays the organ for all three weekly services. She’s such a huge part of our church and she plays beautifully - much better than I can!

[@spankyjeffro5320]

0:40 "Uhhh... Fuck, what comes next?" Haha ^.^

[@PMS1950]

Splendid performance - stready, thoughtful, experimental and quite unforgettable!

[@joshuaalexander228]

It's Alma from Sister Act!!!! 😂🤣 Alma!! **Stomp stomp** check your battery!!!

[@kaciepenner7349]

"Just figure it out, it'll be ok. You're really good at playing the _____ can't be that hard to figure out"

[@LinkEX]

Damn, all those people present must have nerves of steel - i didn't even hear a chuckle! I'd have had to pull myself together with every muscle in my body to not loudly burst out laughing.

[@sanderverweij]

This makes it so much happier and funnier! it makes the wedding couple laugh, so that's good :), love it!

[@mchrzestek]

Maybe he wasn't payed enough

[@SoggySandwich80]

Yo wtf we both got the same organ in our pfp

Hey, that was probably someone’s great aunt and they love her no matter what.

[@Fr4ncM]

The groom is having the happiest day of his life... and it is not because he is getting married.

[@Ichiboy900]

And that was the last time that King Crimson was ever hired to do a wedding.

[@jkh946]

Must be a parish in England; so many outrageous hats, especially on the woman who enters at :33. Goes really well with the orange coat.

[@MisterNatMan]

I wanted to see the organist at the end lol

[@ronyozamoto2216]

But that is not as epic as the other guy that just played the one wrong note at the most important moment, this one is just a slow death. XD

[@zachlafleur6651]

Yeah, it is definitely past his or her time to retire! They obviously can't see the music to read it, for that organist is striking many wrong keys and pedals, and if they play by ear, they can't even hear much of what they are playing anyway! I could say, though, that at least they are trying to play something on the organ (rather than forgetting about it and playing the piano, as happens often at my church)!

[@DeathG4n]

This organ player is a genius

[@TheJakeman789]

That called reduced or no payment.

[@autrycourt7314]

Actually, the Organist is taking lessons by mail but what with the bad weather the lessons have been held up by the Post Office.

[@speedhorn1]

You totally crushed it bro.

[@XEricBlancX]

no one noticed I was drunk while playing, nailed it

[@megab528]

oh god. t h e p a I n

[@MrAccordionPimp]

I can't stop watching this.

[@manulito2]

"This is the worst day ever!!!"

[@jec1138yt]

85 year old organist [that learned to play yesterday].

[@chidlers99]

Absolutely hilarious (the organ playing that is). Mendelssohn has probably rolled over in his grave so much that he is dizzy.

[@afn33282]

What a lovely couple.

[@SoggySandwich80]

This made me cry, the organist probobly was really good before old age and to see this skill fading away makes me scared for my future

[@Otterwearinggloves]

nailed it

[@Ellington3]

the wedding march was written by Felix Mendolssohn, so he would be the one rotating in his grave. : )

[@salvation9868]

This could be me in 25 years!?!

[@leighahmke]

He was really playing a song about that lady's hat.

[@shoshog4647]

This is the funniest thing that ive ever heard i cant stop laughing

[@StellaIrisandTess]

My biggest fear is that I will sound like this when I play at weddings.

[@ResettisReplicas]

At 85 it's a miracle that he can play his organ at all

[@BenjaminNicholaus]

That's a really beautiful church. At least you have a real pipe organ and not an electronic mockery of one. That was pretty bad playing, though. Wow.

[@denwuj]

There are concert organists who are well into their 80s who can knock the living daylights out of any instrument. One does however need to know when it's time to quit or if they are going in way over their heads. Pay is also an issue particularly since grad school and a doctorate don't come cheap. Musicians who can deliver the goods have been known to politely decline because of insufficient monetary compensation.

[@carlosrootsbassman]

Boy! Did that wedding ever end on a.... bad note.

[@framebadger]

At first glance this looks *just* like where I got married.

[@colinhazell6259]

Hahaha! - Peter Hurford!!!

[@wurlitzer895]

....but not THAT Peter Hurford. RIP.

[@audiospawn]

Damn soundfont's busted again!

[@CarolFitzpatrickk]

She must have seen the scary hat at 0:45

[@CaptainCocaine]

Nailed it!

[@Askelairlines747]

At least the church didnt collapse...

[@71259mark]

@herFLYness79 She forgot her glasses and put on her mittens instead.

[@Tiago-zg9vu]

the organist must be the ex of the bride kkkkkkkk

[@mdunklin424]

WHAT was that!!!!! LOL. I am crying!!

[@TaiganTundra]

Close enough.

[@ShakinJonny]

He´s SO cool!!! *LOL*

[@lawrencestrohm]

At which church did this wedding take place?

[@jec1138yt]

That's nice.

[@pincheneo]

could not stop laughing

[@XLB1987]

You would the organ player would practice some before wedding day and maybe not get drunk til after the ceremony or something. Damn!

[@albusfr]

Go home organ player, you're drunk

[@OrganCat]

I don't think you're supposed to try to blow into all the pipes yourself to make the notes. There's a motor or something.

[@kathrynnewhall5687]

In all fairness, this is not an "easy" piece. However, I sure hope I never sounded that bad!

[@shaun20483]

@scottapple 35: that's the spirit! It's just VERY funny from an organist point of view

[@organist12345]
