Festive Trumpet Tune by David German | Hauptwerk | Palace of Arts Budapest

High-quality MP3: www.contrebomba...
This is David German's "Festive Trumpet Tune". It's not too difficult for any who are wondering. I am performing it on my Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ using Inspired Acoustic's Palace of Arts Budapest (PAB) sample set. The original instrument is a 5 manual organ with 134 ranks.
This piece packs a punch on this organ, making generous use of the Tuba Mirabilis and Chamades.

Super sound, super playing, super piece! Thanks.

[@HSHS67VA]

KZbin just recommended this video; beautiful as are all your performances! Your technique, phrasing, registration, everything is so perfect! The way you dance across the pedals is astounding!

Beautiful! I never get bored of hearing this magnificent piece! Just got it right on the piano myself. Pity that our church organist holds a grudge against me for some unknown reason and won't allow me to so much as look at the organ!

[@albertpeckham8708]

To quote someone of years ago..."anything is easy if you know how to do it!" It's a great tune. Thank you.

[@jobbhorog]

it sounds quite similar. greetings from Hungary!

[@boardingurban]

Great Performance! This is still one of my favorite pieces

[@JonasClark]

Powerful, majestic and mighty - one of my favorite fanfare-sort-of pieces, and beautifully played. Those Swell reeds give me chills.

[@stefanussen]

It was a reply to someone else's comment - hoping they'd make some posts on KZbin. KZbin's odd way of displaying comment threads that extend past one page make this very difficult to see.

[@stefanussen]

Hi Rob, thanks again! I saw your rating and comment on my first one and was hoping you'd be so kind again :-) I was having some issues with getting the video right. This is my first HD video, and iMovie has some issues with exporting 720p videos. So I had to redo the upload. If you check back in a little bit, you should be able to see it in HD.

Great interpretation, Rob! I fully enjoyed this. Anthony M.

[@quantumnexus]

This is really good. I've never heard of David German but I want to look into his music now.

[@KeepDeltaMyDelta]

Well played, and beautiful sounding organ for being synthesized!

[@caysonstaples]

I've watched this several times now....still love it! I like the HD feature too....VERY professional

[@1TUBAMAGNA]

BRILLIANT :D and the soudns comign out of that electric organ are outstanding!

[@stearmankc]

Nice! This is a great piece, not too difficult, but everyone loves it!

[@stefanussen]

Thanks JW, the "smothered reeds" would be the swell 16', 8', and 4' reeds under expression, so your newly-coined term would actually be quite accurate!

[@mercifromYah]

What a magnificent piece! Thanks! This a "must learn!"

[@martinwright4125]

very nice. nice sounds on the organ.

[@accousticdecay]

Your playing is excellent, and your instrument sounds like a cathedral organ. Nice techno-wizardry. Summarily impressive to say the least.

[@keithlilley7022]

A close friend of mine living in Denver was "bragging" about the realistic sound quality of his new Viscount, I convinced a him to listen to some of the Virtual Hauptwerk sample sets. He now has the Hauptwerk License so that he can expand his choice of organs and stops on his Viscount organ!!

[@johnbpullin1]

@SimoFuma1989 I bought my copy from Calvary Church in Charlotte, NC years ago. They may still have it in their bookstore. David was the Minister of Music and Dan Miller was the organist at the time I purchased mine.

[@stefanussen]

All 1 camera. I think the Metz has lots of character, and it's definitely one of my favorite sample sets, but there's just nothing like the over-the-top resources of this organ to render this piece!

[@RobCharles1981]

I'm having this problem with youtube, I use Pinnacle Studio to trim my videos ect and I don't encode I save it as DVD Quality and Mpeg 2 KZbin use to let me play it in HQ or Sometimes HD it must be a site bug.

[@stefanussen]

We need to get some of your stuff on the 'Tube!

[@Engineer9736]

Good showcase of the PAB sampleset. I've bought Hauptwerk and the pro version of the PAB sampleset years ago, only need a proper console. Currently discussing with the original PAB organ builders for a copy of the mobile console :D Going to cost an arm and a leg though, but it's such a beatiful instrument to own.

[@stefanussen]

Thanks! The expression work in the middle did take a bit of practice to get right :)

[@caysonstaples]

WOW!!!! That sounds amazing....i dont know what to say beyond that.

[@milou7300a]

Belle musique, et bon son, cette piece est bien interprétée J'aime bien Vous écouter, et Vous voir ,Merci.

[@niceflyer80]

It isn't just the number of samples stored. In a pipe organ, pressure drops to pipes surrounding the ones in the division(s) being played result in momentary detuning and loss of volume, which varies with the music, temperature, speed at which the instrument is played, and many other factors. If the same record of samples were to be played in a loop when the key is pressed, you would quickly get listener fatigue. - Michael S, Ph.D., Consulting engineer, signal processing and comms systems

[@BACH934]

Nice work, Rob!

[@c.k_027]

absolutely perfect.

[@MDLRX8]

Okay, I found out the real story here. I asked Dan Miller about this, since he knows the piece and knows David German personally. My copy of the score is an old one that has a misprint, so you were playing it correctly. Sorry for the bother! I will have to relearn that measure with the accidentals that were "accidentally" missing!

[@caysonstaples]

the registration at 1:00 is awesome too! i love it...

[@tamiasthechipmunk]

You can find the hardware you are looking for in the products section of the Classic Midi Works website. It looks like they have a complete 3 manual version of the setup shown in the video as well.

[@stefanussen]

Good to know, thanks for looking into that.

[@weirdones101]

An amazing song.

[@TubaMirabilis123]

GRRRRR! Listen to those Swell reeds growl at 1:00! Great playing and interpretation!

[@WoodymC]

Hi Rob, I always thought that this piece would be in D-major... did you transpose it? I'm lacking both the sheet music and an absolute hearing, so I can't name the "original" version.

[@BoerbokMan]

+WoodyofmC It's in f major and then transitions to f# major in the fanfare section

[@WoodymC]

+Boerbok Man Yes, that's what I also observed in Rob's playing. So, according to your comment, I suppose that the other version I once heard in D-maj was the transposed one. Guess I should also try to play it in F/F#. ;-)

[@BoerbokMan]

Was it with a trumpet player? He may just have prefered D major... Who knows. The F# section is kinda tricky for me, but that's only because I'm a terrible organist! haha

[@stefanussen]

Thanks, Sophia

[@tamiasthechipmunk]

@niceflyer80 I've heard about how Hauptwerk emulates what you describe. Little touches like that is what seperates a typical digital organ from one that sounds convincing.

[@pascalfort75014]

Bonjour ! Fabuleuse interprétation très musicale ! Bravo ! J'adore ! Quel est le fabricant de votre instrument (la marque) ? Je suis français !

[@MDLRX8]

When you switch from the 16-8-4 fanfare trumpets in F# back to the Great, there is no natural in the top note of the right hand, at least not in my score. So the top note of that passage should be: D# E# F# F# F# E# D# C#. I'm pretty sure you were playing an E natural, both on the way up and back down again.

[@jwabacus]

I especially loved that section at about 0:57 with the smothered reeds sound (is that what that's called?) Outstanding playing ... 5-stars!

[@organforheartevarosemarier9773]

Wonderful ❤❤❤

[@stefanussen]

Thanks, Cayson

[@lemare45]

I own a Baldwin model 305 which I plan to replace with a Hauptwek system, but I haven't been able to find were to get pedals, or keyboards hardware. Any help? Angel, U.S.A.

[@nikolasbolognesi9500]

You're amazing! Very very good! This is the professional version?

[@32ContreBombarde]

I am loving your videos, they are fantastic, I always said I'd buy a Rodgers organ for my home but I think I'd rather have the Hauptwerk system instead. Funny you use Def tech speakers, just like Trinity church. I bought a pair of 7004 Super Towers a few years back, perfect for organ reproduction, I'm listening to this on them now!

[@gwpritchrd]

Very well done!!! I love this trumpet tune! How long did it take you to get all of that gear put together? Was it easy?

[@MDLRX8]

If you play it with no accidentals (E#, A#, D#), it sounds fine, albeit major instead of minor. What year is your score? I'd like to know which one is correct somehow.

[@Dansorganmusic]

I wonder what your neighbors thought of that last chord? Great playing!

[@Larsky1010]

Excellent work! Rob, do you have a preference between the Budapest organ and the Cavaillé-Coll at Metz? I've just placed an order for the latter.

[@shiningarmor2838]

I just realized, this is the sample set with the 32' chamade

[@MDLRX8]

Okay, now I'm pretty sure there's a misprint in one of our editions of this work. I played through that section before I went to work this morning, and it's not just the E# that's different -- you're also playing D natural and A natural in that measure. My score has no accidentals in that measure; does yours? I do have an early copy of this piece, copyright 1990. Perhaps yours is later and was corrected? If so, I apologize for thinking your rendition was at fault!

[@MDLRX8]

Excellent job overall, and very nice quality video! However, I hate to be picky, but you need an E sharp starting at 1:31. F# major is not my favorite key, by the way!

[@RobCharles1981]

This is Fantastic 5 Stars From Me!! Why did you take it off??

[@FM60260]

Is it true this sample set has a bit of a delay after you hit the key?

[@hirsch4700]

You can set the laziness of the key response

[@stefanussen]

I didn't get what you were saying about needing an E#?

[@Highinsight7]

This is rather sad... but this kicks the shit out of some pipe organs I've played...

[@keithlilley7022]

I could not agree more with you on your comment!!

[@notredameswarrior1]

how much do one of them virtual organs cost?

[@stefanussen]

Mine has accidentals in that measure. If you play through it, an E# sounds pretty wacky (at least to me)

[@natashabrittain7375]

I used this song as my bridal entrance :)

[@keithlilley7022]

I only wish this was available for my wedding 49 years ago. A close friend of mine played the Cassavant at the Lutheran Church in San Jose for us. I personally told him it was concert time prior the the Wedding March.

[@gamusicus]

It's not a song. A song has words that you sing.

[@charlottehaynos3466]

I'm using this piece for my bridal recessional.

[@francescobotti6092]

Where did you find the sheet music?

[@ReaganReese]

It's on "Sheet Music Plus"

[@francescobotti6092]

Reagan Reese thank you

[@DJOSIAH]

How can such a organ be made. Please Tell me!

[@stah4xu]

how much cost such organ? and how it calls ?

[@freiherrdeswurstwasser4245]

Church Organ & 25.000 $

[@stefanussen]

Hi MoTab, I use iMovie '09

[@johnbpullin1]

@MZAjro David wrote this piece for his own wedding.

[@viscountatoakridge3853]

Superb playing, you are welcome to come and play my home viscount 356 which is stunning.

[@zibeddy]

does anyone remember the theme tune to spaceballs? very similar.

[@irkibby]

What... a digital organ that doesn't sound awful??

[@meatballstorm]

Sounds like it should be a cavaille coll

[@presfunk2028]

@notredameswarrior1 Lots...but much MUCH more affordable than a real one
