Tetris Theme Music Played on Church Organ

[@HisDudeness1986]

This will be played at my funeral when I am being lowered into the ground.

How do you know it will be played at your funeral if your are dead

[@TwinTonyz]

The "Tetris theme" is actually one of my favorite Russian pieces, Korobeiniki. Russian music was always my favorite, it's immaculate, driving, and aggressive.

[@gordoncorneliusmaximus6083]

bassax13 yep

[@yamahonkawazuki]

Indeed

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

It actually sounds Russian!

[@jamesrocket5616]

[@crittybonbon]

My favorite thing about this is how loud and abruptly it starts, so good!

[@gabriele1417]

Meee tooo!! I’m kind of disappointed that some notes are left behind, but i guess it’s due to the nature of the instrument

[@SaberKittyZero]

Apparently the church was invented so hundreds of years later it could have tetris be played in its halls.

[@snapperhd]

Quite a smart investment if you ask me...

[@gabriele1417]

Has to be

[@GigaG11]

I love pipe organs. I love the Tetris theme song. I REALLY love this performance. It's detailed and sounds great.

[@blacksun3884]

And he looked to the sky and shouted, "bless me with a line piece! I almost have this epic combo set up!" But called forth, sky answered nay, and presented him with an L-block instead.

[@punman5392]

An S block would have been like the wrath of God lmao

[@eduardoavila646]

L? Nah, a z one more likely

[@ronanmurray]

This is my own arrangement, played by ear. I haven't got any sheet music for it, but I'm sure there's a piano arrangement which you could purchase online and adapt to the organ.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

You did a phenomenal job!

[@DirkV1984]

WOW, what a powerfull instrument. Goosebumps everywhere! I love this martialic sound of an church organ.

[@SuperCobra011]

In nomine Tetris. Amen, Godly man who arranges the blocks.

[@VanguardJester]

you know... i tried to recreate a feel when listening to this but... i now know that there is nothing that can be compared to listen to a pipe organ in real life.... like a god amoung men, it doesent just ask for your attention. it demands it. and then with sheer power, it overwhelms you, like a beast within a cage. it terrifies you. and you respect it out of that fear.... no amount of zeros and ones can recreate such a feeling...

[@justuskertscher2418]

yeah true

[@stonedsavage7814]

i have played on 3 different organs 1 of them being a cathedral organ its a complete power trip it takes a while to get used to the pedals but its top fun.

[@eduardoavila646]

BUt didnt he done the oposite? Took a amout of zeros and ones and created a feeling in an organ?

[@Stratacaster5]

This is truly one of the best interpretations of Tetris I have ever heard.

[@DrakusDukeHoovleyhybrid]

when he started playing the theme a smile broke out on my face :)

[@RetroPlus]

I have access to a church pipe organ, I'm going to play da Tetris theme. Wahoo!

[@linkVIII]

For some reason this is mentioned in wikipedia. No complaints

[@IreneAdler1013]

As a fellow organist, I salute you. An excellent arrangement! The Bach-esque ending is a very nice touch!

[@ronmancvu]

@Dontpushthebbutton Yes! PLEASE do more themes on this phenomenal instrument. And thank you very much for posting.

[@ObliqueVion]

This is incredible! This rates the most epic version of the Tetris theme, ever.

[@artyom1011]

Rest in peace Jonas

[@rickyvaneldijk7239]

From all the tetris organ pieces out there, this one simply rules the sky.

[@jank-official]

you are still my Tetris on Organ hero... i really totally absolutely digg that walking bass... :)

[@ChessNinja000]

The only thing this performance lacked is frantic applause at the end; for what it's worth, I applauded. You looked like you enjoyed playing it about as much as I enjoyed listening to it.

[@StylishDetective]

This melody is always awesome

[@jkruse2007]

brilliant. I love how you let the bass line walk...

[@DjinnJuggler]

I think the best rendition of the Tetris theme I have ever heard, and one of the best pipe organ pieces :D Good job!

[@JulienBrightside]

Organs make everything sound like boss music. Very well played sir.

[@ronanmurray]

@TheSeattleTexan Thanks! It's played by ear. the church has a smashing acoustic - lots of hard surfaces.

[@jkruse2007]

since I heard this the first time, it doesn't leave my mind... I love the walking bass. And I love that it is so not pretentious.. just nice.

[@mann8557]

Almost anything sounds majestic on a pipe organ

[@lemmiix]

Where can I sign up for this religion?

[@THATSMYTIME1]

everything sounds epic on organ :D

[@scarredboredbox]

I wish I could play Korobeiniki on an organ casually, the organ is such a wonderful invention that probably takes YEARS to master.

[@delryn256]

Love it! I'd like to hear more songs on this particular organ.

[@LelandL3]

played at full blast in headphones... solid lines in eardrums... eardrums disappeared...

[@SaphiraFlametongue]

Thanks. =) I've only been fortunate enough to hear a pipe organ played live once in my life and the electronic ones definitely can't hold a candle to them! If I ever get rich I'm going to put a pipe organ in my house. =)

[@VentiVonOsterreich]

This song makes me wanna own a church organ.

[@markechorvat]

I am still looking for my jaw somewhere on the floor! Absolutely breathtaking!!!!! I would take a trip to Dublin just to make a recording of you playing this :) :) :)

[@Stratacaster5]

This is utterly amazing.

[@Hubey2]

those chords at the end... soo good

[@Nachouni88]

This is just awesome.

[@Bred0nSch00lV2]

Always good to see the Korobeiniki in action!

[@AtelierArietes]

Hallelujah - The enlightenment!

[@ronanmurray]

@TBird100636 Thank you. I haven't actually played the other Tetris themes. Might get around to it someday!

[@kaa1710]

great footwork, a nice choice of registers! :)

[@pXnTilde]

This is it. This is the one. It's all about the right stops 👌🏻

[@Camcanoe]

THIS IS AWESOME Please do more game music tunes, and borrow some audio recording equipment from somewhere. I for one would pay to have this kind of stuff on my ipod if it were better audio quality.

[@DontpushtheBbutton]

You should make more video game themes on that thing. I really like this part: 0:48 - 1:15. Actually the whole thing. You rock :)

[@SPPhotography89]

Smooth sound.

[@CasualCorpse]

Yes!! I love this!

[@badmangod]

with my base speaker this not only shakes the floor, but freaks my cats out. awesome!

[@GUSftw]

just amazing, and high quality sound ^.^

[@Advanium]

I want this to be played on my funeral. Tetris was my very first game ever, so when I reach line 100 and all ends there, let me start from the beginning :-)

[@Stratacaster5]

Peace be unto you, comrade

[@ibtrumpet513]

Well... If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it.

[@travisbashore]

Ok Cogsworth

[@PrettyKittyThirteen]

You sir. Are a master!!

[@NicholasPapadimitriou1993]

Excellent arrangement with great harmonization! @2:00 Hehe, you really topped it off with that Napolitan :P Again, thanks for posting it! ;-)

[@m4rcos_elx95]

que coisa maravilhosa!!!

[@Daermohn]

This is really awesome ... I play this song with my keyboard on the original notes. But your version is just out of reach :( And I thank you for letting me hear this version ^^

[@EllieGC]

Love this classic!!

[@dielustigenstifel]

Om my god, this is awesome! U rock ❤

[@danielmkubacki]

Well played! Cool pice organ!

[@ChrisMyersrcmhaulage]

unless you have HD camera and right next to a church organ would distort the sound i should know i was near a church organ recently and as u can tell on the sound the video is distorting slightly i am not picking at the author of this video believe me i like it and clearly he was playing it

[@SuperCobra011]

Lol I would love to hear this in middle of a mass. That's the only way to get me to a church xD

[@Incendiae4]

Dude, you are a GOD!

[@MarcoPes]

great! i want this played at my funeral

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

I quite like this allegro arrangement of Korobeiniki. It more matches how I first heard the song.

[@amazinhaydz2032]

When Soviet video game song is played on church instrument: Wait thats illegal!

[@evilwesker0]

this cracks me up so bad

[@nicktheharpblower]

awesome playing by the way!! i used to do full organ all the time!! lol Nick

[@Margocarr]

Hilariously brilliant Good one man!

[@DGneoseeker1]

@ronanmurray I just seem to prefer the "darker" aspect of the organ, which the trumpet sounds don't really fit with. The reeds are OK, it's only the really loud blaring brassy sounds I don't use.

[@VladjoSK]

Could you please show us your hands while playing?

[@marionelson2619]

Awesome Dude

[@Renjility111]

this is awesome, Daring in a church , but o so awesome

[@danielhetue6968]

Sounds like a nice Tetris theme thanks to the A minor scale and rhythm

[@ronanmurray]

I didn't place the camera next to me, as the sound would have been quite distorted at that proximity to the pipes. I have many other videos which clearly show me playing, so I haven't the faintest idea why you would suggest I wasn't playing. Who do you think was playing?

[@DrFrankensteam]

That is awesome!

[@charastafilaraki3112]

When did Tetris become a religion?

[@AntiShadman6969]

Tetrianism ⏹⏹⏹ ⏹

[@TheSonic10160]

What organists get up to the other six days of the week.

[@ufo51base51]

awesome......

[@madmax8410]

awesome man!

[@leonevermore4819]

You have convinced me to go to church.

[@cozmolikeytrainz]

Its like the one from Tetris & Dr. Mario on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System which used an organ for the Tetris theme!

[@TBird100636]

Question. Have you played the Tetris B theme or C theme on an organ??? I haven't found one video on KZbin of either, just the A theme like you play in this video. Great playing by the way!!!

[@Medusa7700Siren]

Love how u played this ;D EXCELLENT JOB!!!!! ^_^

[@osantiagues]

This is amazing!!!! I absolutely love it!! Is there anyway I could download it to my mp3 player?

[@sauron141]

lvoe how he jsut walks there, sits down, and starts palying like "i got this guys"

[@SamuelWirajaya]

wow, that was epic!

[@ronanmurray]

For me to have done that, it would have involved placing the camera in a position that would have led to the sound being even more distorted. There are plenty of videos of me playing, where my hands (and feet) are clearly visible.

[@4candles]

Classic! Works well on the organ too (which is presumably why you decided to play it!?)

[@TheZaius]

If giant tetriminos were to fall from the heavens, the entire world would reverberate not by the impact but by all of the world's church organs playing this song in unison.

[@ronanmurray]

@nexgenhippy Only an acoustic bass, which I named "Soubasse" at the console.

[@theKillerbee21]

if i die in pieces i want my body to be rearranged with this song playing on the background

[@renegades1106]

it sounds like creepy castle music, like if there was a tetris castle this version would play none stop in there :D

[@Hiandbye95]

The Tetris God is proud of you, my son.

[@FrontSideBus]

Imagine walking past that church and hearing that... you'd be like "wtf? Awesome!"

[@Principal16]

Hahahaha!!! :D I love this!!!! I'll make my own arrangement for organ to my next organ recital. Yours is awesome!!

[@WannesHaxyl]

a church organ makes everything so epic :O yet so dark

[@emigan]

Deadly

[@GOLD1702]

Hi Rónan, whats the specification of the instrument?? -Regards from Ferns, Wexford.

[@ronanmurray]

Sean Carley Hi. Here's a link to the spec. This was recorded before the 16' Bombarde was added. glasthuleparish.com/images/st%20josephs%20glasthule%20organ%20history.pdf

[@ronanmurray]

It's a church organ, because it happens to be in a church. I only consider a pipe organ to be a real organ, though many churches and homes have electronic/digital subsitutes.
