The house of the rising sun (accordion)

[@brianlandsberger]

I just picked up the accordion a few months ago and I've completely fallen in love with it. Your rendition of this song is inspiring and gives me much to look forward to!!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thank you Fran. I'm glad you like my interpretation of this song. My accordion... well... that's the reason why I bought this old bbbb (body builder black box) ;-) - oldie but unique goldie. I've heard many accordions (the real ones, don't like electronics surplus). Most of them got their unique, very specific sound, not "better" or "worse" - this doesn't hit the point - but in a totally different way and mood. I guess those oldfashioned ones ot this type and make are one of a kind.

I’ve listened to this video for years. It’s such a soulful performance, wonderful arrangement.

[@johndonlan5512]

You definitely do the BEST version of this song on KZbin! I hope to one day play this song as beautifully as you do!!!

[@musicalpariah]

Thanks, I will get the piano sheets and see how it goes. I think you should definitely make a CD. Your covers are honest and from the heart which is what people really love. I can't wait to hear a blugrass tune. Keep posting and let us know when your CD will be out! Here's to keeping it real!!

[@JoeTierno]

An excellent performance by a skilled musician. Fortunately, I know nothing about video games so my recollection of this tune that I heard as a young man in the 1960s has not been corrupted by popular culture. I strongly encourage you to post more of these great videos. Thank you so very much.

[@АлексиАверин]

Wait.. This song is in a video game? Dang, I never knew that and I'm 13. I think modern stuff is trash.

beautiful hohner imperator and great interpretation, congrats!

Sounds like wolfenstein

[@LisekLucek]

It actually name house of the rising sun but Wolfenstein take the music name my house near berlin so that why

[@Cyxkarlse19-yv3ev]

Bro why grandpa still play wolfenstein

[@whixmax_Oficial]

Predicted the Wolfenstein song 😯

[@michaelniemann6110]

Fantastic job! I enjoyed it very much! Great bass on that accordion too.

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

There exist 3 systems. Stradella is the common, most used one. By pushing one button, you can get complete chords in major, minor, diminished... but just in one octave range (without any registers). The other system is called "freebase". It does not have the octave-restriction, playing single notes instead but no chords. The third one is "Converter" and a mix of both. Usually you can change keylayout/behavior via a switch between "Stradella" or "Freebase". (expensive, rare, complicated).

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks a lot for your comment. Well, I don't have sheets. But I tell you no secret: I started playing this song short after beginning to play the accordion. It was in the charts (about 1964/65 I guess) - and at that time and some years later too - it was quite often played here in germany on the radio/TV. This (my) playing on the accordion was a very, very basic one... single notes (no chords) and first without left hand (base). Step by step speed, chords and left hand were added. Just try !

[@heidimettler6834]

this is a goddamn orchestra ... bravo sir... bravo

[@ΣεβασμιοςΓέροντας]

Today I was going at the beach and was waiting for my friends to come and meet me outside the subway. When I saw an old man probably late 70s playing this song exactly as this video. He made my day and I gave him 60 cents🙏☺️

[@nickelsmine000]

I Enjoyed This Song! I Loved It! Thanx For Posting This Tune!

[@k0rc]

I took some pleasure from this video of you playing this song.

I thoroughly enjoyed your rendition of "House of the Rising Sun". You are quite skilled with the accordion and I really look forward to listening to more of your videos when time permits. This makes me want to get an accordion and give it a shot myself. FIVE STARS Mike from Missouri

Thank you. No, I don't have an album/CD yet... but I am working on it ! My playing here at KZbin is a preparation to it - a "playground", a place to find inspiration (and give inspiration to others) and critique...

Great piece of music, I play this also on the Hohner Mussette IV Accordion, Its one of my favourites to play. Nicely done.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love your way of playing! It has so much feeling to it.

Very nice interpretation Wolfgang. I like it very much. Your accordion sounds great! Fran

[@MoJoPiano]

LOL! A pretty good analysis I would say! Yes, I have messed with the piano for years, even have a couple audios of me playing on my channel. I know the keys on the accordion, but those buttons will be a challenge. Oh well, maybe one of these days I'll get brave and take a stab at it. Your playing is AWESOME and I'll be back to listen to more. You are an incredible musician! Mike

[@HooDs1x]

very nicely done job... thumb's up for you!!!!!

[@ronhendon6381]

Amazing I’m just learning Accordion hoping to come close to your sound one day. Bravo 👍

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

thank you... and you can believe to my honest words that I passed your "frustration" too - many years ago - and I can feel what you feel exactly. Don't be confused by your feelings/emotions (bad moods) - you will bypass it. All musicians will have to pass these times earlier or later and sometimes over and over again. Just enjoy the music - think: it's fun. That's what it is ! FUN !

[@SamyPone007]

Hermoso, que canciónes del pasado, se toquen con diferentes instrumentos, como me agrada este tipo de arte musical, para ser una Banda tan clasica como The Animals, Buen Trabajo, aunque te lo diga 9 años despues.

[@kxvt]

this is absolutely amazing! you are so talented, i wouldn't change a thing - completely flawless. i have only been playing accordion for 1 year, and i get frustrated sometimes - but seeing players like you is very motivational. a true inspiration. thank you!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks for the compliments... no, I don't possess any notation to give away. This was played without any sheet as you can see - completely out of mind and inspired by the beauty of the song. I'm sorry.

[@juilietpritchard6560]

no apologies required....

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Yes, you are absolutely right - this is a wonderful piece of music (not only on accordion)... and there are much more like this. @all: by the way, is anybody out there, who has got some sheets on american (canadian, south-american) folk or dances written for accordion ? I'd be very pleased about Square-/Line-dance or Country (!). Please let me know (boardmail) - at least the source where i can buy or order it. Thank you a lot.

[@accordeonperu]

Bravo. Congratulations!

[@SeliahK]

I really like this rendition. I don't know anything about registers - I don't play the accordian. I play flute, clarinet and trombone. :) For about 20 years. But I like it. I think you got the sound down perfect; it's a treat to listen to!

[@Taaranee]

Wunderbare Interpreation :) Habe mir auch ein Akkordeon zugelegt (allerdings ein Knopfakkordeon) und spiele auch vor allem nach Gehör :) An dem Lied würd ich mich nur zu gern auch mal probieren

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks for your comment ! Well, all my songs are way "own interpretation" (more or less) and not yet "final release". I needed to create a short version with an "accordion-like" ending, which (i guess) is not too bad in this case (but still playing around, not sure what it will be). The purpose of all that shall be later on a CD of my own with a medley about those former hits. I just want to find out other people's opinion about my music, my way of interpretation....

[@acordeonhobby]

well done, very beautiful

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thank for your nice comment, Mike. Did you play any instrument before ? If not, expect it to be like a marriage: - a great day when you receive the squeezebox - lots of work, time and money to build the house - fun at the weekend or at the "happy hour" - fuzzing and fighting to learn from Do you know how a marriage is ? Sometimes you will have to keep your mouth shut to stay alive. When things get too worse take a break... before starting again, but starting again is most important.

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks a lot for these compliments !

[@tenitgrl2356]

Sounds so awesome!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thank you for your compliment. Playing - any - song is just a matter of time that you invest into your training. My question to you is: how do like this song played on the accordion ? Does it sound good ? What would you improve, what needs to be added, removed or changed according to your opinion ?

[@willy111222]

buddy, thats awesome!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

@BumpNtheNight1 *smile* - no, it is not at all because I got the same feelings all the time since my jouth whenever I heard the song from the animals. I mean it is simply a great song with great chords. You can find this very often within folk music and the roots of this song are somewhat "folk"-like.

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

@KagusakiUrufu Thanks. It took many years. Please read my vita by clicking on LibertangoVieenrose. I take requests as I did in the past. I don't know when I will be able to process them because I am pretty busy with training for a local church group and future concerts at the moment. This (and the fact that I try to learn new instruments) is the reason why I had to put my "list of future projects" far behind me. Feel free to put your request online - I'll do my very best, as quick as I can.

[@mbrusstar]

This is great- this "rock' song sounds great on the accordion

[@SCHULTZZKOPF]

I have Hohner accordions and they have a special and wonderful voice for music that comlements the sound. I would not play this song with a Hohner accordion. What sound to choose? I don't know offhand but when I hear it I will know, and so will you.

[@vladymyrandryushchenko2050]

Beautiful! Bravo!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Exactly my way of thinking ! You're 100% right. Everyone who says this, doesn't even know partially what accordion is... not even partially...

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

One of my favorites ... no doubt about that.

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks ! I see it as a compliment.

[@aphato]

Wow very okestra feel! very good!!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

@strvina01 Pazdrav i hvala vam na odgovor. Nažalost on-line prevodilaca može pokazati samo loše. i da je samo mali broj vaše reči prevesti könen. English, može dozvoliti francuski, španski, ruske i nemačke prevesti a razumljivo - sa srpskim (ništa protiv Srbije i srpske nacionalnosti) čini mi se da su vrlo teško. Hvala na vaše razumevanje. po'eljno pitajte English koliko je to moguće.

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Oh, I forgot about this lovely song from the sixties almost completely... you are right... something i should cover. I'll do that - for sure. I took it in my projects-list already. Thank you for this suggestion.

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks. Yes, I agree to what you wrote. It is somewhat close to pipe organ within special registers... because some registers (pipes) of organs do use the same principle of sound creation (so called FREE REED) - like harmonicas, accordions, bandonions - and this makes the sound quite similar. Nevertheless pipe organs do have much more registers and a much wider range on scale. So, one can say it is like a kind of "mini organ"... ;-)

[@BigDooogs]

Brilliant! Bravo :)

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

at 1:46, I hit the "master"-register key" (sometimes refered too as "tutti" - what means all chorus activated). Most bigger (larger) instruments do have such a key either at the descant (right) side or as a "chin"-button (pushed by chin). It allows a very quick selection without hitting (searching for) the register button on the main corpus, what takes more time. I didn't push it well, used too much power - so you hear that loud clicking noise... one can do that much smoother (now I can).

[@arniarni123]

This is amazing.

[@FranconiaAschebersch]

einfach perfekt gespielt!

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

...another advantage of such a switch (either chin or a kind of "bar switch" at the outer area of the keyboard) is the possibility to keep on playing and not removing hand off the keyboard. As a hobby-/amateur or even a standard player you mostlikely won't need such an option... but as a professional or concertplayer it will give to you nice performance-advantage or convenience. You really don't need such an option for playing - but it is good to have it (sometimes).

[@paolo11499]

Absolutely fantastic! Can you teach me how to play? lol

[@musicalpariah]

I'm so jealous!! What a phenomenal rendition of this beautiful song! Please, can I have the arrangement? You have such a precious soul. Loved it man!

[@Ventuha]

Good sound, old man !

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

@HooDs1x Thank you very much.

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thank you so much for your comment. The arrangement is not available - i simply don't have one. The only choice you'll have will be to play the same way... from heart, by yourself, comeing up - bringing up everything in your own mind. I never found the time and the spirit to put it on sheets, honestly...

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks. Yes, you are right - one of the characteristics of this (very special - "unique") type of instrument.

[@sqzbxkd]

Very nice! Your accordion has a very deep, strong-sounding bass!

[@colinrussel8637]

If you listen carefully you can hear that low E on the bass

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

@2Harmo I am glad that you like my version. Hungary is one of those countries with a great history concerning folk music and dance - and especially in conjunction with accordion too. But I must say at the same time that the whole balkan range has produced lots of nice and different styles. Thanks for your comment !

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

Mit der Diatonic hatte ich schon bei der Mundharmonika immer arge Probleme... weshalb ich mich zu chromatischen, gleichtönigen Instrumenten weitaus mehr hingezogen fühle. In gewissen Alpenregionen herrscht wohl historisch bedingt Diatonic vor. Ob es nun ein Knopf- oder Tasteninstrument ist, das sehe ich doch als eher untergeordnet an. Jeder wie er will und kann. Es ist gut und sehr wichtig, dass Du Dir so etwas vornimmst, wünschst, dir Ziele setzt. Bravo !

I just wanna say that this video is very much an Inspiration, i have see this instrument rarely and never bieng played within a lightyear of the way it is in this vid, i love the song. can you explain what are those black circular keys on the side of the accordion, seems like a million of them, and you are always pressing a diffrent one O.o must take years to learn, watever they are.
