Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi (organ)

[@jamesmcmullan7490]

A superb rendition that captures all the fragile beauty of the original. Thank you for sharing.

[@manuelamaie9252]

best instrument to transport the message!

[@ИгорьДымченко-к9л]

Pretty simple piece, but ABSOLUTELY GREAT. PHILIP GLASS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPOSER IN HISTORY OF MUSIC.

[@3Scalpel]

Just found this. Sublimely performed. Most grateful.

[@garambandar]

Thank you for this. I'm learning this piece and your video has really helped, especially the pedals.

[@restjbo]

Pedaling is all about preparing the next note you have to play ;-)

[@rudolfkrebs2311]

Ich habe damals den Film gesehen! War total Kult! Und es ist total toll, diese Musik auf einer Kirchenorgel zu hören! 👍😎🇦🇹

[@at1970]

I went straight to horseshoe canyon after seeing this movie. It plays in my head every time I go to the desert.

I have an ocean to cross, but I'm determined to stand in that place one day.

[@at1970]

@@nate_river_ You should go, but I have to warn you. Like most of Utah it has been over run, trampled by the hordes and bears little resemblance to what it looked like just a few decades ago.

[@FrauWNiemand]

Great. Beautifully played. I love the movie and the music. We also performed Glass's Toltec symphony with the university coir once, which was great - the once in a lifetime chance.

A perfect song on our funeral. very good

[@mountainman4987]

Our funeral?

Perhaps the most haunting yet beautiful piece of music ever written. Bravo you did a fantastic job magical tones

Clearly starting at 2:44, he needs to play the single note "Ko-yaa-ni-sqat-si" part with his nose. ;)

Beautifully played...

Maravilloso, gracias

Looks like a Brian Clarke panel work in front of the organ. Great playing sir.

This could be the soundtrack to the current state of the world more than ever.

I couldn't agree with you more.. 100%.... Who would want to bring a child into this world right now?

Have you seen the movie this song is from?

@@SprocketGames Yes I have

[@crazyhandgrows6432]

This was delightful.

[@my_wheelhouse]

Love it

[@stressaccount7664]

Makes me think of the scene in La Dolce Vita where a man plays Bach's Toccata and Fugue. Haunting and beautiful.

[@bp62085]

This is terrific. You should do an arrangement of the entire soundtrack and record it.

[@Kausie123]

Sound a lot of where Zimmer got his inspiration from from Interstellar.....

[@607]

Yes. It confuses me that I am a fan of much of Philip Glass' work, but of little of Hans Zimmer's recent work.

[@SvartVargSkog]

Zimmer gets his "inspirations" everywhere aka stealing. He's a fucking fraud

[@perfectblue8443]

The organ is a badass instrument

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Oh this is very good.

[@khalladhi]

This is amazing, congrats!

Inspiration for Delta Title Music for the Commodore 64

[@incaseinever]

I wouldn't mind hearing this piece played within a Starwars movie part where Darthvader is making his entrance from the darkness..then finally he says: "koyaanisqatsi" just at the right time! epic!

The beginning reminds me of Haku's theme from Naruto

[@607]

Great performance! Personally, I'm not a fan of representing the choir on the organ: it sounds alright, but I don't think it is worth the sacrifice of not playing the second keyboard voice all the time. When I learn this piece myself, I'll just sing it. ;)

[@viktorrietveld]

Yeah the choir should have been sung, then again, not many can do that.

[@607]

@@viktorrietveld True. Judging by the appearance of the performer, though, I would not be surprised if he can comfortably reach the right note.

[@Davidzxcv1]

The word is important

[@SeltiaLoL]

I disagree, I enjoyed that a lot, it added something, idk what, but it was good experience for me.

[@607]

@@SeltiaLoL It does sound good, but the removal of the second keyboard voice is too jarring for me. I have since played this piece on church organ myself, and it was a lot more difficult than I anticipated. All voices are simple, but they are so independent that I found it hard to coordinate them together, as a relatively inexperienced organist.

[@yesterdaysrose5446]

Pull out all of the necessary stops. Voix céleste. 👼🏻 Vox humana. 😄 Vox Dei. ⚡ Vox Diabolica. 😈

[@Phasenmensch]

[@marcelobrunorodrigues7630]

Does the the work end as if it were unfinished? On the other hand, which organ is the one of the present video, please?

[@bradycall1889]

It’s good but it would be better if you layered the parts instead of pausing the 2nd manual each time you play the 8’ trumpet. Or perhaps do a duo with another person.

[@danavilamusic]

Were the organ keys white or black? 🤯🤯🤯

[@restjbo]

On this organ they are switched, compared to the piano. There is no standard regarding which keys are black or white. This varies from Organ to Organ.

[@Alisa123xyz]

:O

[@curtisrushing7751]

To me beautiful and to most organists....but this being played to a church full of regular church goers, it is boring and nothing but noise. Oh Lord I am not Worthy would have been mukch more loved. Our Bilshop....Dallas diocese ...been saying Mass aat noon via local TV station. Frankly I been tuning in jukst to hear the organ...but ney, ney. He has a piano and some other tinkling cymbal playing.

[@absurdengineering]

Is there a regular church goer? Don’t we each have our own aesthetic preferences? How will we expand our musical horizons if we never listen to new pieces? Do you seriously think that no one out there who never heard Glass could enjoy this piece? You’re putting a lot of people into a very little box I’m afraid. I don’t think they deserve that.

[@larrybeckham6652]

I seen Phillip Glass. This is not Phillip Glass.

[@roncheetham673]

omg that is bloody awful
