Theatrical Trio - Bach on the Wurlitzer - Trio 4 BWV 528, Hauptwerk - Jerry Martin / Fox Wurlitzer

[@Csharpflat5]

Thanks Fraser for the plug subbed ❤❤❤

[@FraserGartshore]

Would Bach have done this if he’d had access to a Wurlitzer? You betcha! More!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 I wonder what I should try next 🤔

[@RoDi01]

@@jerrymartin79 after seeing Fraser's video of friday: how about the Dubois' Toccata? 😁

[@james.flores]

Works very well!

[@VictoriaPettit4]

What a magical piece! You played it wonderfully!

[@janterjeedmundsson7763]

Thank you for sharing this, Jerry! A very exiting and different angle to play Bach! Well played! 🙂

[@jerrymartin79]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Bach truly sounds amazing on any instrument!

[@cameronplatts9630]

I was waiting for Dr. Carl Sagan to appear and begin a lecture on the connection between Bach and our solar system 😊 Wonderful presentation Jerry 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jerrymartin79]

... now... that is an idea 🤔😁

Wow, that was an absolutely outstanding performance. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

[@jerrymartin79]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@grahamtwist]

Fabulous! This groundbreaking exploration of how Bach can be registered on a theatre organ whilst totally ensuring musical integrity is just stunning, Jerry: bravo! Awesome in inspiration and genius in execution, this world-first is truly pioneering!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much Graham! I'm glad you enjoyed how it turned out 😀

[@MarcusReeves]

Always pushing the boundaries, Jerry; not only proving that it’s possible to play a Bach Trio Sonata on a Wurlitzer (and extremely well too!) but with wonderful videography - this music animation is inspired!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so very much Marcus! I was searching for new ideas to illustrate the music, and I'm going to explore this more for sure!

[@anglicanman1]

Absolutely brilliant, Jerry. I grew up with a 21 rank Wurlitzer/Morton/Gottfried. Never thought of combinations like these. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jerrymartin79]

I appreciate it 😊 Thank you so much! And perhpas my lack of familiarity means I'll find all the oddball registrations 😀

[@anglicanman1]

8’ Kinura in Pedal line. I may have heard that?

[@BrooksLehnig]

Jerry, such a brilliant concept and execution... even without the train whistle 😄🚂.... Thanks for being willing to step out into the void and sharing your shining creativity.

[@jerrymartin79]

You inspire me to continue to step into the void!

[@mattleach958]

Wonderful. Thank you Jerry. I love the musical graphics. They are an excellent aid to reading regular written music. What musical graphics program are you using? Amusingly, my grandfather had a huge 1920s theater Wurlitzer in his living room that I got to play on as a child. ❤🎹🎵

I envision the little baby Johann Sebastian connecting all the dots, learning about shapes and colors (the blue circle one fits in the red square, and whatnot). This is the first time I've enjoyed listening to one of his trio sonatas. You gave it a new perspective, and the world needs more of this! 🦉🙌🏻 #DueCourse

[@jerrymartin79]

I love the imagery! I wonder what to do with the organge triangle however. Hmm... thank you so much Aaron - I really appreciate that - and am so glad you enjoyed today's madness. Everything is better with #Mustard (don't forget!)

[@nancytelling8166]

Introspective and expressive!! Well done, Jerry!!!! Bravo!!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Goodchappy]

Well done Jerry, I'm guessing that has never been done before.

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 It is definitely a fusion of worlds. You know me - I like madness!

[@jonathanb1942]

Superbly done, Jerry! I watched this as part of your concert, but I had to watch it again. Thanks for uploading it separately! Would love more on the Wurlitzer!

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it - Wurlitzer magic for sure!

[@jillhertzog6365]

Wow I love it ❤️❤️

[@remi-chapalain]

Interesting instrument to play such music. I love the 2nd mvt

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 And yes - it is such an amazing movement

[@razzbuzz]

This is a very "orchestral" way to play Bach. It hink it adds more depth to the music than you could achieve on many classical organs.

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it @razzbuzz

[@billraty14]

I think the Trio Sonatas are a good fit for a Wurli, with all the many Tibias at hand, which are essentially open flutes. I'm curious how An Wasserflüssen Babylon, BWV 653 would sound which like the Trio Sonatas is difficult to register on most "classical" instruments and still have variety. Also, you can tell the Fox Wurlitzer has been well regulated to where movie theater tremulants aren't necessary for having consistent tone.

[@aBachwardsfellow]

Even a Wurlitzer can have a modicum of class ..

[@denniscarlson1262]

! (In a good way)

Thank you so much 😊
