'Emperor's Fanfare' on the most powerful Pipe Organ with Spanish Trumpets - Paul Fey

I hope you'll enjoy the "Emperor's Fanfare" for Pipe Organ which is part of my new Trumpet Tune Collection! This Fanfare is probably one of the most famous pieces from that era, played on the legendary Bosch organ in Santanyi Spain. This Pipe Organ features some of the best trumpets in the world and has a super powerful Bombarde in the pedal which shakes the whole church!
I hope you'll enjoy this recording of the "Emperor's Fanfare" using the amazing Bombarde + Pleno stops of this pipe organ.

I'm amazed at the beautiful sounds that come from this organ via Paul's hands. Is it my imagination or did I hear something that sounded like a choir at one point? Thank you!!

AGREED...!!! Sends goosebumps up and down your arms. My mom and i have sung in many different choirs and cathedrals. Their is nothing like hearing a pipe organ fully opened up.

[@inyobill]

Can you imagine the response of the people the first time this instrument sounded?

[@fratermacarius]

The composer: Antonio Soler was educated at the choir school of Montserrat and at an early age was made chapelmaster at Lérida Cathedral. In 1752 he joined the Order of St. Jerome (Hieronymites) and became organist at the Escorial Monastery. As one of the most notable keyboard performers of his time, he taught both organ and harpsichord to members of the royal family. He was himself a student of Domenico Scarlatti, whose influence may be perceived in the lively keyboard technique, the form, and the frequently unexpected harmonic progressions of Soler’s numerous harpsichord sonatas and also in some of his organ works. He wrote much church music, in which he often indulged a taste for intricate canons; incidental music for plays by Calderón and others; six quintets for organ and strings; and six concerti for two organs. He also wrote a work on musical theory, Llave de la Modulación (1762), which was the subject of significant controversy among his contemporaries. His experiments with microtones led him to invent, for the purpose, a keyboard instrument called the afinador.

I stumbled into Carcassone one evening, no plan, just arrived at the doorstep of a very nice 5 star restaurant where the maitre,d almost laughed when I asked if I could get a table, then a voice from across the room said he can sit with me. My invite came from the Organ Master of the English Church in Berne, a nice fellow whose first or second question was, "are you here for the recital?". To which I said "no". He next said, "so you have just happen to arrive at one of the finer restaurants in the region in time to get to the recital across the street?" He explained the event about to transpire. The inaugural concert of the 17h century organ in the Norman Cathedral after it's complete refurbishment. He left early as he was part of the official invitees. I finished and walked across the street, merely walked in and chose a seat and enjoyed my first live organ concert. It was superb. The summer of 1985.

[@PaulFey]

Thats a wonderful memory!

This organ has the most unique sound ! These trumpet pipes sound very ancient and are not replicated as such on other organs. A very special sound, and this is the perfect piece to showcase that extraordinary Spanish trumpet sound. A wonderful performance of this piece. Thanks, Paul. I am glad that you included this arrangement in your new Trumpet Tunes Collection.

Querido amigo las trompeterías horizontales o de batalla como también se denominan y los registros barrocos como este órgano de Santanyi en las Islas Baleares, debo decirte que su tipo de registros se reproducen en la mayoría órganos ibéricos del siglo XVIII a lo largo y ancho de la geografía del Reino de España en instrumentos de mayor o menor tamaño, tanto en los de las Islas como en el resto de la península Ibérica, en mi ciudad el órgano barroco del presbiterio, que posee la Iglesia Arciprestal en Vila-real del 1722 de 2.250 caños, la mayoría de sus registros coinciden con este que tenemos el placer de escuchar de manos expertas del joven maestro Paul. Saludos cordiales.

Speaking of 'Ancient: QE1 sent a pipe organ to Suleiman (Turkey as a present.) The voyage was rough and the Installers sent to set up the instrument, had to recast the pipes. Does it still exist? If so is it playable?

A five milliscond ten million volt LIGHTENING CRACK happened a hundred feet away from your believing sorry ass, WILL put THE FEAR of Mother Nature within you permanently, if having survived it. (And as to it, you will then possess that rare treasure of "KNOWLEDGE, certain and true" requiring not of any "faith" to sustain flimsy "belief," that it was Reality that had so-affected you.) The Grand Emperor's Fanfare heard here is but a miniaturized inspired reminder (an Emperor being intercessor between Nature and Man) of Nature's own Master, not invokable utterly because existing above Nature (i.e. supernatural), by ANY of Her mere-natural means. D-E-I-S-M holds the Key to Reality . . . sans mystical madness as run-up by the always suspect emotive.

What a mighty overwhelming sound. E. Power-Biggs' solo arrangement of this fanfare from Soler's Sixth Double Organ Concerto is no doubt responsible for making it so well known and loved. It's in the 'Biggs Book of Organ Music.'.

[@muzluv33]

Yes it is and I have my second copy of that book (the first one got all worn out from use!) I play that piece more times than I can count. Biggs also recorded it twice that I know of - on the Columbia LP Historic Organs of Spain on the organ of Toledo Cathedral and on another Columbia LP called Soler Six Concertos for Two Organs in which the fanfare is written in a somewhat different form as the last movement of the Sixth Concerto. On this recording Biggs plays the famous Flentrop organ at the Busch-Reisinger Museum in Cambridge MA and the second organist is Daniel Pinkham who plays a one manual positiv organ also by Flentrop. Both albums can be found online - just look for the best condition and best price.

[@woodyspooner]

I listened to this organ through my headphones. The sound of organ music was incredible, to hear the same organ live in the church, you would hear the music not just in your ears but you we would probably feel the music reverberating in your bones.

Their is NOTHING like hearing a pipe organ folks. It was my mother and i favorite instrument. We sung in a lot of choir's together. And in many different cathedrals. And just listening to a pipe organ FULLY open and breathing sends goosebumps up and down your arms. Especially, if the reverb is good on top of that. It is an impressive instrument that takes A LOT of practice to master. It's certainly not like playing the piano that's for sure.

[@thinkofmusic37]

He used powerful pipe organs and Spanish trumpets to perfectly revive his grandeur and power. He leaves a deep impression by breathing new life into the painting. The notes and harmonies give the impression of having a long history and convey the essence well. The performance leads to a world of deep emotion. The melody sounds more powerful and vivid through the harmonious echo of the organ and trumpet, and reveals its solemnity well. Powerful energy will captivate the mind and remain in the memory for a long time. It showcases the beauty and power of classical music anew, and its skilled performance skills and sensuous interpretation make the performance even more remarkable and emotional. This wonderful performance delivers music inspiration and tells a hidden story.

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

[@ririko_rk]

It's a very nice song💖 When you listen to it with earphones, the bass vibrations of the trumpet are transmitted to your ears and it is very impressive🎺✨ 1:18 2:05 I also like cute sounds 💕 I'm very happy to be able to listen to Paul's wonderful performance while watching the wonderful images of the church 🍀😊

So much power from only two manuals! It's awesome! And those little buzzy reeds are just cracking me up with their cute sound! Another excellent performance of one of my favorite pieces!

The size of an organ has nothing to do with the number of keyboards it has. It’s the number and variety of pipes that are the point.
