Aria on a Chaconne Hauptwerk

[@bagnewauckland]

You Sir, are one of the finest Organists that I have heard the privilege of having heard. You are one of the main figures inspiring me to start playing the Organ, and do my part to try and turn around the decline of young organists. Thank you, for this, and all of your other videos.

[@charlesdavis7087]

There really is intelligent life on Earth. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with all of us. Blessings Rob.

When I lived in northern NV, I used to visit SLC all the time, and would go to the recitals at TS every so often. I heard this piece played over a decade ago, and came here to find you’d just posted this performance, and I’ve watched it many times over the years. Due to boredom of stuff to do in elko at the time, and seeing how good hauptwerk sounded with your performances, I decided to start building a hauptwerk console myself (I’m a tech hardware engineer). Although it’s still not perfect today, it’s at least functional. This is the first piece I learned. -Thanks for the hobby and the fun it’s turned into over the last 10 years, Rob. I’m still pretty bad at it coming from being a low brass player, but it’s still a great way to pass some extra time. Great to see you’ve been posting some new stuff, and very cool to see how your console and talent have evolved over the years since posting this video. Thanks!

This is so very beautiful! So expressive I think I wanna weep.

[@JantzBlackMusic]

Beautiful playing... the "duet" lines in the RH are so smooth. Love the strings and flute harmonique. Somewhat reminiscent of the Paul Manz Aria. Thanks for posting your recordings!

[@TSB12556]

Thanx for your wonderful gift of music and sharing it with us all! Being able to view talent in our own home is a great thing. God Bless

[@amspcut]

Rob my friend, I first heard this airily, ruminatively and haunting piece when you played it on the Hauptwerk at Shepherd of the Mountains. I came across it again just now while recuperating from surgery in Park City! Such a relaxing and peaceful harmonization on registration it makes me want to forget about all the problems facing us in the world today. God Bless

Belle pièce, Vous êtes bon organiste, et aussi, un son majestueux, avec cet instrument, beau à écouter ,Jacques Merci

[@charleskesner1302]

Simply wonderful.

[@jwabacus]

This video gives me an incredible sense of peace; there's almost a hypnotic sense about it that effectively calms me when I need to be calmed. I'm going to learn it as my first 'organ' piece.

[@dandimurch]

Breathtakingly Beautiful composition Beautifully played thank you

[@polsterj]

A wondeful piece! I love the Organ in Metz, and the hauptwerk version, too! I'd love to hear more of your recordings!

[@milou7300a]

Thank You for nice music, You play extremely good, and the sound of your organ is grandiose ,thanks Jacques

[@bombarde1701a]

Thanks for playing this for me at the AGO convention...it was good to meet you

[@Elsa.8511]

Breathtakingly beautiful ...♡

[@dichoso68]

Rob, This is so beautiful and you are so talented. It's very inspiring and worth spending the time watching you playing! Love it so much! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@berndkleiber6651]

Ist a wonderfull sound and it Mackey me so still inside

[@polsterj]

Thank you so much for this recording! So pretty, so sweet. A wonderful example that Cavaillé-Coll-organs are more than only roaring reeds!

[@OrganizationXIIIof07]

wow, i just flipped to this video on accident...this is so beautiful i almost cried!

[@stefanussen]

Thanks Lance, you get a lot of bang for your buck on this piece, it's not too difficult, and it has a very dreamy feel to it. One of my favorites; I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@MicksFlics]

Beautiful, sensitive and fine playing...simply beautiful playing of lovely pieces...this and the Cundick arr. of Jesus the Very Thought of Thee. The Hauptwerk is truly and amazing creation. I've not heard or seen one live but the clips of seen and heard are truly amazing. Will check out all of your videos here. Bravo, fellow organist!

[@cgabis04]

Truly incredible, Rob. I almost cried. Very reminiscent of Ravel's Pavane Pour une Infante Defunte, which incidentally nearly makes me cry as well.

[@bryan3550]

Sweet and contemplative! Thank you

[@JSB213814]

Reminds me of the 2nd movement (Adagio) of Alessandro Marcello's concerto for oboe in d-minor.

[@dstuhne]

Thanx for this wonderful music. Keep up the good work!

[@amspcut]

Rob, This is outstanding like most of your other work! I enjoyed hearing you play it on our Hauptwerk Organ in Park City.

[@mortondavid]

So beautiful it hurts!

[@orgelkim]

Yes, very beautiful!

[@jamydelpias]

Magnifique!!

[@neonsky595]

Thanks, Rob.

[@Larsky1010]

The strings are so luxurious--they have a "wrap-around" sound, even from my computer's speakers!

[@mortondavid]

Thanks to you I just ordered this beautiful music. It will sound super on our 1927 E.M. Skinner! I must say, too, that you are a fine player.

[@stefanussen]

Thanks Emmanuel, I do thicken it up a bit in the middle, but the beginning and end use a fairly straight registration of strings on the Swell and Bourdon + Flute Harmonique. It's definitely one of my favorite combinations on the Metz!

[@62102mwret]

Beautiful piece, wonderfully performed. I'm going to add it to my collection of preludes. Thanks for the information on where to get a copy of the music. M Webster Canyon Lake/San Diego CA

[@accousticdecay]

Molto bellissimo!

[@stefanussen]

Thanks, I try to get as much up as possible. Can only learn the pieces so fast though :) Glad you enjoy the postings!

[@stefanussen]

Thanks, Steve!

[@JSC1401]

I admire your relaxed approach and your economy of movement. I wonder if your technique would change on a tracker action.

[@larryocca]

Hi Rob. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful musical selection with us. I thought you played it wonderfully with great phrasing and feeling. I was not yet familiar with the piece.

[@charlesdavis7087]

Holy crap ola. Whose work is this? Who composed this? Joel something or another. It's even more beautiful... the "second time around." /wow. ! We've got to get guy on the synclavier out at UCLA. There's always room for improvement and better audio recording stuff. Right? Right. Like Hans Zimmer once said to me, "Once you come up with the theme... the rest is all in the hands of the (sound) engineers. Artist you know." It's the Forth of July, 2022 AD, in LA, CA, USA and I'm 77 and feel like a 22 year old... but I can't find one. Got to go watch this.

[@stefanussen]

Thanks!

hello I have sixteen years and play organ , I would like to have a home organ like the one of your videos and let me know if you bought yourself or if you are built... sorry , i'm italian and i speak english bad..

[@bazzermn]

This is really beautiful. Are you using the Hauptwerk MIDI digital program or is it another one? Where you you get the manuals/ pedal board etc? thanks!

[@TheKingJacob1]

you are a fine organist

[@birdwing98]

I see this piece is available in print for only $3.50 . Google "Aria On a Chaconne, By Joel Martinson" I found this information by following Rob's link above to listen to recording at Contrebombarde. That site lists the sheet music source.

[@bagnewauckland]

@PipeQuest I've just got the music for it. It's not too hard, some tricky stretches in the right hand part, but otherwise fairly straight-forward.

[@stefanussen]

Thanks :-)

[@Wiercik90]

Beautiful piece :) will this piece fit on a wedding ceremony?? what do you think??:) grettings from Poland:)

[@dankthompson]

Could I buy a copy of the score? I love it!!!

[@ijagcwmw]

serene.

[@videodude123XYZ]

Is the sound I'm hearing coming from an external mic or from the software?

[@matts.3761]

It is coming from the software, Hauptwerk by Milan Digital Audio. A free edition can be downloaded from the website: www.hauptwerk.com

[@bagnewauckland]

Gah, it should say "Have had the privilege" not "have heard". Of course, I couldn't spot it when I posted, but only 3 month later... Still, great playing Rob

[@stefanussen]

I just try to upload the most worthwhile stuff I can for KZbin users, and I'm hoping the suit enhances the presentation :-)

[@monaldeschi]

May I have the score? Thank you!

where can I get the music ?

[@ThatcherNelson]

I feel like the composer blatantly copied Paul Manz’s Aria but the playing is nice

[@1401JSC]

Sort of Sugary Richard Clayderman for the Organ. Flor Peeters is much better stuff. For a Canon try Choral by Joseph Jongen. You play with love and conviction, however.

[@musicisitall]

To much reverberation!

[@bombarde1701a]

Thanks for playing this for me at the AGO convention...it was good to meet you
