Tarkus (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) - Pipe Organ arrangement by Owen Tellinghuisen

[@garyhunt5845]

Fantastic work, Keith Emerson would be proud!

[@tomtrana3449]

3:00 Stones Of Years. Absolutely epic!

[@wiseoldfool]

If Keith Emerson had been able to take a pipe organ on tour, this is how it would have sounded! BTW, this is a beautifully sounding organ.

[@trippy_dragon8726]

10:14 my favourite part, i love how angry everything sounds, it's so powerful and elegant at the same time, truly a noble instrument. Also, earlier in the song i heard a hissing sound, i think the organ demands a blood sacrifice.

[@Katrurka]

Amazing 👀 👍!

[@oneofmany1087]

SO telling, made me cry. Thank you Dear One

[@ericrohrbaugh2713]

That was absolutely amazing using a church pipe organ for such a masterpiece of contemporary music. In the early 1970s, a group I was playing keyboards in tried a few of ELPs tunes, but nothing like this! Congratulations on completing such a huge piece of music with such a different instrument than what Keith Emerson used. Bravo!

[@arnobarzan3934]

Ho sempre amato Keith, ho sempre amato Tarkus. E adesso amo anche te.

[@josephmoritko5878]

Finally a EMERSON LAKE & PALMER played on a pipe organ this is exactly what it should sound like fantastic excellent job 👏

[@paolorigoli1552]

Avevo sempre sognato di ascoltarla suonata da un organo da chiesa, grazie!

[@SimonNesgaard]

My favourite ELP tune.

[@FernandoArnesto]

Mine too !!!

[@flowersbyphone2554]

that bit of karn evil 9 in aquatarkus was cool

[@leonidsyniakevych4297]

Ніщо не заважало композиторам грати таку музику в часи середньовіччя. ) Але ж вони так не мислили. Отже маємо надію що музика завжди буде розвиватись і знаходити нові фантастичні форми. Дякую за ваш вибір

[@jonathancook6557]

Bravo! 👏 This wonderfully melds musical favorites of mine and conjures up great memories: I got Tarkus as a birthday present from my brother when it came out (I was 12), and I wore that album out. At that time I had started accompanying my sister to her church organist gigs as page turner and gained my love and awe of the pipe organ. And, yes, I once accidentally stepped on the high pedal while reaching and got a vivid reaction from her.

[@Boppsta712]

Blends perfectly into the rest of life~

[@rubendelatorre91]

Creo sinceramente que ELP estarian muy contentos de escuchar este maravilloso trabajo sobre Tarkus😊

[@djokowitjaksono3371]

Tarkus on pipe organ,very cool, more proggy scene

[@jgdmlw]

For years I have thought hearing this and other ELP pieces played on a pipe organ would be cool and I finally got one. I really enjoyed this. I have heard many piano transcriptions and recently a nice acoustic guitar transcription which I have loved but on the pipe organ with bass pedals is really special. I have listened to and loved Tarkus for 50 years. I happy to see young people interested in ELP’s music. You played it beautifully and I imagine that Keith would have approved.

[@sbosco61]

Outstanding arrangement of a masterpiece. Goosebumps.

[@wayneralph945]

Randomly popped up on my feed, but excellent subscribed.

[@ScottJoplin-r9b]

I was a big fan of ELP in my day (that makes me old). I grabbed this album as soon as it first came out, around 1971 I believe. I thought then, and still do believe this song, the whole Tarkus side A, was awesome and among their greatest achievements. You have have done justice to the song. I kept waiting for some spot where I was going to say, "Oh well, nice try but you messed up this or that" but it didn't happen. This was really a joy to listen to. Thanks so much.

[@wam44]

Wow-You blew this out of the water!! Fantastic Performance....What a tribute to the late great KE and ELP...

[@juancastillo8948]

WWOOOWWWW freaking AMAZING!!!! Thank you soooo much for this!!!!

[@FlavioMaselli]

Bravo! 👏👏👏

[@2visiondigital]

Might go to church more if i heard this.

[@oneofmany1087]

the people next-door thinks Jesus is here

[@transpermeance1535]

In awe of your ability to hear and transcribe all the parts. Love the stop choices that show how this king of instruments was probably the inspiration for what Keith brought forth on the Hammond and Moog. Amazed at how you worked through the latency and lack of percussive attack which comes with the nature of a pipe organs.

[@joselares9031]

Tremenda performance...Ya tocarla es un logro excepcional...YEAH...¡¡¡😎😎😎

[@unpythonic]

Super impressive. I really like your stop selections: they fit the original really well while maximizing the effectiveness of the organ

[@FernandoArnesto]

Puro órgano, no sintetizador moog, me parece un excelente trabajo,estoy impresionado, Aplausos !!!🎉🎉

[@marleicorreia4213]

Desde minha pré adolescencia ouço ELP tempos mágicos da musica e do rock progressivo, o ELP está guardado em meu coraçao. Excelente interpretaçao, fiel e única.👏👏👏✌

[@daveydoodle52]

"...adequately meaningless lyrics." I love that part of your description. Really enjoyed your arrangement and the memories it evoked for this old guy. (I'd love to hear a church organist slip this in as the recessional after a service!)

[@lelandallen]

This is fantastic. You play this with such respect for the original material - I know Keith would have been proud!. You also have done a masterful job of really coaxing the most out of the limited resources of a small but very well-balanced instrument. Is the specification the same as listed in the OHS database online? If so, bravo. I know a lot of organists who couldn't have done as well with an instrument 3 times that size.

[@whitegrissomchaffee2595]

You're a great person 🤘🏻

[@stefanpaolini]

12:50 WOOO!!!

[@sauloperin4412]

Good job boy. Thanks for sharing

[@the1tedunderhill]

that bass pedal solo in Iconoclast was sick! I didn't know bass pedals could sound like that.

[@Boppsta712]

Outstanding throughout~!

[@StevenFolberg-yw1oc]

Fantastic! Bravo!

[@JA-wd2dk]

Muito agradável de ouvir! Muito bom!

[@lenhumbird]

Beautiful, played by someone who really respects Emerson's composition. Thank-you for this. Iconoclast, especially here: beautiful footwork!

[@Watzooful]

Absolutely great👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jimihendrix991]

Rachel Flowers sent me... 🙂

[@RalphSpoiledsport]

I spontaneously applauded here in my home, too.

[@paulhoffman-music]

What an undertaking! Brilliant! Really nice registration solutions too! Really evokes the original recording.

[@filtonkingswood]

Dang man! That's a top notch effort.

[@bmidtgard]

Would have loved to listen to this live. Brilliant anyhow

[@jameswaugaman8052]

Beautifully done! Hard work paid off! Being a big fan of William Mathias, Jehan Alain and of course Keith Emerson I especially loved how you arranged Manticore! Nice!!

[@JamesGo-i4b]

I was going to say stunning and brilliant but others have already said that so I won't.

[@carlosalbertoteixeira375]

Excelente. Muito obrigado pela competente e talentosa transcrição. Admiração e votos de sucesso daqui de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 👍🏻💜

[@TerryMcKnight1]

Excelente... gostaria de receber mais videos

[@ChuckBaggett]

Very good. I love Tarkus. I'd love to hear more. Might be more; haven't looked yet.

[@BrianScottPhraner]

That was fabulous!

[@magicpassos]

Amazing!

[@Gottenhimfella]

From 4:12 did you consider using a principal 4' along with a twelfth 2 2/3" ? It seems to me Keith chose to use two oscillators for the RH passage, tuned a fifth apart, with the lower one (the tonic) more dominant (pun unintended). Impressive interpretation, rendition and generally very appropriate registration choices, I thought. Very nicely done.

[@Gottenhimfella]

The RH run at 5:37 is (to me) almost impossible to decode. As well as being virtually unplayable. You came so close to nailing it ! (I certainly think you had the right intent) Respect. I expect the touch is heavier on that console than on a Moog, also....

[@owentellinghuisenorganist]

Thanks for enjoying! The short answer is yes, if I were on a larger organ. I hear the fifth on the album as well but unfortunately this organ lacks any subtle mutations that would work with the dynamic contrasts I had in mind. I also hear enough of a contrast between the tone of that solo vs. the one in Mass, where I do use the mutation registration, that reflects in my registration choices as well. Yes, that RH run is very difficult, and live performance being live performance... it's certainly a bit harder to translate to this instrument from the Hammond or Moog but I'm very glad you enjoyed the finished product!

[@poprostuja2885]

My life is complete now

[@TheGaiani]

What an awesome sound!! 👏👏

[@clinthorton306]

Tarkus!!!!!

[@thatguywholikeswwe636]

this is incredible tho, the way you play it gives it such a different character than the original version

[@gabrieljohnson1042]

Absolutely Brilliant! My senses were so consumed by this performance. Bravo!

[@lakephillip]

The amount of practice to play this well is so impressive, and salute, cheers.

[@runtrunty353]

Brilliant!

[@matthewszymanski7037]

Incredible performance all in one take! Can’t imagine the amount of work you put into this. You succeeded in making Tarkus sound like it was originally written for pipe organ.

[@audreyc9945]

fierce diva down slay the house boots period.

[@Piktor201]

Stunning!

[@jamesfournier5324]

15:00- is so sweet.

[@lenhumbird]

@12:51: Woo!

[@jamesa901]

Nice! Not an easy task to get that one down.

[@thatguywholikeswwe636]

12:49 woo

[@yadgar1969]

Awesome work! Made me aware again how bizarrely dissonant or even atonal large parts of the Tarkus suite are! And your hair is lovely! Do you plan to grow it longer, perhaps to the length of Rick Wakeman?

[@lanocarpet7632]

Supeeeer 🤌👍👏

[@mallorga1965]

😱

[@doranselwyn8608]

It takes a lot of guts to play the devil's music in God's house, and Emerson at that.

[@seabulls69]

I have no doubt that Keith would approve if he were here to hear this.

[@sandorpallosi5006]

,,50eve hallgatod?? akkor te is egy kis nyugger vagy! (velem együtt )🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@sandorpallosi5006]
