What a great surprise, you don't expect to see a pipe organ on the way to an underground station. These are precision instruments and the trouble of setting it up then tuning it takes time and is quite incredible. You don't just pick a pipe organ up and plonk it down, it takes a bit of time to set it up. Certainly a credible sized instrument too and great music. Many thanks.

[@elsyd3636]

As impressed as I am with those organ skills, I’m equally impressed by the Herculean restraint he employed in not playing a boogie woogie version of Bach. Hahahaha, but loved this.

[@jacquesatlantis4352]

oh yes !!!

[@ua2381]

I was waiting for that boogie woogie to come out. Lol

[@reidwright264]

Lolol

[@1SqueakyWheel]

Is there anything better than boogie-woogie anything? Besides.. "Boogie Woogie Bach" really has a nice ring to it!

[@nickreid5613]

Legit when I went to England that’s all I heard on the train station pianos. I instead played some Bach and many people were impressed at such a thing. The boogie style literally makes me want to burn those pianos lol

[@asagraphics247]

RIP Keith Emerson. You still live among us. Great rendition Brendan!

[@ernies8828]

Brendan even plays the organ! Truly amazing! That is a whole other type of animal the organ, with the foot pedals and ways you play. Great job!

[@alphagt62]

I’ve heard that a pipe organ is even different from an electronic organ. It takes time for the notes to swell, and die. So you play it slower, allowing time for each note to develop.

[@peteacher52]

A lesson I learned early in life is that one has to be REALLY good at something to be able to play around with it!

[@kevinthorrington2131]

My mother played the piano/organ until the day she passed away at 90. Your style of play is exactly how my mother played. Love you music!!!

[@markedly1013]

Sorry to hear about your mother. Hopefully, she's still playing somewhere.

Wow, great selection of organ music. A bit different than boogie woogie, but evidence of good keyboard skills a depth of musicality. Thank you.

Oh my god i could listen for hours, i had no idea you could rock the organ just like you do the piano. Much love Brendan

❤️❤️❤️. So wonderful! I was so excited when our church bought a new organ . Our organist could blow us out the doors! You’re so talented! Enjoying this after stress test at the cardiologist office this morning. Just what I needed. Thank you!

Was that the clockwork orange theme at first or is that part of tocata in D minor?

[@zimenoschosch6764]

1:14 Veridis Quo by Daft Punk but okay 😂

[@VicinalElk44104]

@@zimenoschosch6764 that is not veridis quo. It sounds kinda somewhat similar, but listening to the song you described then coming back to this, it really shows just how different they sound. There were a couple notes that were similar with what he played vs veridis quo, but that can be contributed to a lot of modern music having inspiration from classical music. If I manage to figure out what he was trying to play in the first part, I'll post it so you may here the actual classical piece so you may see where he actually got it from.

[@VicinalElk44104]

@@zimenoschosch6764 the closest thing I can seem to find as of now is literally what is in the description, Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

[@VicinalElk44104]

@@zimenoschosch6764 to be honest, it doesn't sound like that portion of the video is from either of the pieces of music. However, being that this whole video is him playing Toccata and Fugue, I'd say that portion of the video was inspired by Toccata and Fugue and he was playing something reminiscent of that. The whole video is similar. Only little snippets of the video are of him actually playing parts of Toccata and Fugue, but the entire video sounds like it was inspired by that piece.

[@joeannperschall7226]

Is there anything he cant play ? Dr. K YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND WE ARE BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY YOUR PLAYNG.

[@genmama1955]

I used to play Toccata and Fugue in D minor on my keyboard when my son was a kid and was into spooky movies and music. I love it that you played it on a public organ.

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

My favorite, Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Love it and he played it well.

[@karlrovey]

They used it mostly because it was easy for the actors to learn the opening section.

[@pauldrennan1482]

Check out Vanessa mae on utube playing it on the violin mind blowing

[@blueflyingwolf]

Takes me back to early 1960's when I was a church choirboy. Whilst couples were in vestry signing wedding registry, organist/choirmaster would always entertain the assembled congregation with similar pieces (whilst I read the Dandy & Beano). Oh to go back & enjoy.

[@bicycleboy66]

And sometimes we would sing Jesu Joy 😉

[@snagletoothscott3729]

Pipe organs are an engineering feat. You just don't make an organ, you then have to make the building to house it in. it was more then just the keyboards. Then entire building itself was the instrument.

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

True.

[@SeanHarlow]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/boHaqIWIbcmYfs0 the building is certainly a factor but a pipe organ can still be put somewhere that wasn't designed for it and work entirely reasonably

[@freedomishavingachoice3020]

Beautifully said. Thanks.

Depends on the organ, but if you're talking about church organs I'd say you're correct. They are beautiful.

This video is so incredibly amazing I must be the only one, but I shed a few tears all the way to the last chord. This song resonates in me in a way I can’t describe, bringing every emotion along with it. I feel incredibly sad, yet I feel a sense of comfort and happiness. I don’t even listen to classical music on a regular basis. But this song is so special to me

[@drewmog123456]

You melted hearing a Picardy third, where the third note is raised by a semitone to create a major chord.

[@erzahler1930]

I'm impressed! Also was a bit amused when he lost wind pressure momentarily. "Is it on a time switch?" 👍

[@robertbowles7267]

The blower is indeed on a time switch. Press the button, and it will run for 30 minutes. Unfortunately it doesn't have a "fuel gauge" to show how long it has left. So if you arrive and find the blower running - as Brendan did - you may run out of wind quite soon. The trick is to re-set the blower timer when you arrive, by turning the isolating switch off and on.

I grew up in a house where at one time pipe organs were built. The roof of what we used as the garage built onto the back of the house was as high as the house itself and had a lovely, vaulted, wood-lined ceiling. I can picture now (more than forty years after moving out) what it might have looked like way back when it was being used for its original purpose.

I lived near Hagerstown Maryland where moller pipe organs were made. The building today is a shell of what I’m sure it was in its prime. A beautiful old brick building. They also made a few motor coaches in the same building. I moved to Florida three years ago. And on fort myers beach the one church has a moller pipe organ. I can remember my church in PA where my grandma taught Sunday school for 50 years had one. What an incredible sound. No easy feat to play one with the pedals, keys, knobs, all doing and creating different sounds

A keyboard may just be a keyboard so I can see him playing the organ keyboard. But an organ also has stops and footpedals to allow modification of the sound which could come out quite bad but Dr K has it mastered beautifully.

This would make a really cool Halloween show. Maybe some Game of Thrones songs, The Hanging Tree or the one that starts out "Come little children, the time's come t play, here in my garden of shadows." (Sorry, I have forgotten the name of it) or even The Monster Mash for fun!

Toto nie je satanisticka hudba z hororov, pane. TOTO! je dar od Boha. A tým, že hrá pre radosť každého človeka verejne a zadarmo sa s nami delí o svoje umenie, zakaždým, keď sadne k hudobnému nástroju, jeho hudba je oslavou toho, ktorý mu tento dar podaroval. Dal mu ho z lásky k nemu i z lásky k tým, čo cítia a chápu poslanie hudby. Brendan hrá pre nás a na oslavu Božej Prozreteľnosti a nie pre vyznavačov hororov a satanizmu.
