This is Halloween - Pipe Organ

[@ericzhangorgan]

It's always cool to see people playing popular music on the organ to bring it to a larger audience, thanks for doing this!

[@rstaples93]

That's my goal! The organ has so much untapped "cool" factor, so I'm hoping to tap into that and hopefully interest more younger people in the instrument. Most people I've met don't even know organs have pedals, so anything that gets them interested, even as a listener, is a big victory in my mind. Thanks for the comment and the support!

[@swiftfox3461]

Robert Staples Agreed about the cool factor. I'm in my early twenties, and yet I love pipe organ music immensely.

[@kaifreeland]

Boys and girls of every age Wouldn't you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see This, our town of Halloween This is Halloween, this is Halloween Pumpkins scream in the dead of night This is Halloween, everybody make a scene Trick or treat 'til the neighbors gonna die of fright It's our town, everybody scream In this town of Halloween I am the one hiding under your bed Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red I am the one hiding under your stairs Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween, Halloween Halloween, Halloween In this town we call home Everyone hail to the pumpkin song In this town, don't we love it now? Everybody's waiting for the next surprise 'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll scream This is Halloween, red and black, slimy green Aren't you scared? Well, that's just fine Say it once, say it twice Take a chance and roll the dice Ride with the moon in the dead of night Everybody scream, everybody scream In our town of Halloween I am the clown with the tear-away face Here in a flash and gone without a trace I am the who when you call, "Who's there?" I am the wind blowing through your hair I am the shadow on the moon at night Filling your dreams to the brim with fright This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween, Halloween 'Alloween, 'alloween 'Alloween, 'alloween Tender lumplings everywhere Life's no fun without a good scare That's our job, but we're not mean In our town of Halloween In this town, don't we love it now? Everybody is waiting for the next surprise Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back And scream like a banshee Make you jump out of your skin This is Halloween, everybody scream Won't you please make way for a very special guy Our man Jack is king of the Pumpkin Patch Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now This is Halloween, this is Halloween 'Alloween, 'alloween 'Alloween, 'alloween In this town we call home Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

[@CelloMaster2000]

Robert Staples- Man I don’t know what to say, you are an amazing organist, and I love the way the piece sounds. I play cello but would love to play organ, and pieces like these really inspire me to learn it. Thank you so much for your contribution to the NMBC community and the music community❤️

[@bethanyfolsomthewolf2737]

I FREAKING LOVE THIS!!!!!!! HALLOWEEN FOR THE FREAKING WIN!!!!! *excitedly adds this video to playlist*

I was looking for a good vocal cover of this song...forget the vocals all together I'm so glad I found this Jesus great work man!

[@huntergraham702]

There are fewer songs I could think of more fitting for a pipe organ than this. Bravo!

Sounds great with headphones! Excellent work man! Edit: Who’s ready for Halloween me!!!!! 🎃👻🎃👻

[@alexanderforsythe6947]

Looking forward to Halloween 2021- Hopefully no Pandemic then

[@chazdesimone7306]

I'm wearing my set of cheap headphones and never before they do not sound cheap! Never heard such bass before.

[@mr.oddduck5871]

Playing it on the organ makes it even better - this is quintessentially classic Halloween music! Love it!

[@rstaples93]

Thank you!

[@KYNGA100]

Even the atmosphere fits Tim Burton's style... And the cover is amazing !!

Would love to buy your arrangement!

[@JohnNozum]

I enjoyed your video here. The music was GREAT (and some of it being played on the GREAT manual!). I also liked your low lighting here and the pumpkin at the organ console. It certainly beats watching Jeopardy or football--BIG TIME. From John Nozum A fellow organist

[@rstaples93]

John Nozum, thanks for the support! :)

[@CelloMaster2000]

I completely agree, the lighting was amazing, would’ve been even cooler in real life if this was at a concert and there was the low-lighted auditorium with a light on the music and the whole place decorated for Halloween. It truly makes me nostalgic, just like the beautiful music

[@Gamalielslay]

When you know the song but you pretend to read it off the music sheets

[@2008truckman]

This was so cool. If you ever put this out to the public. It would be worth what ever price you put on it. Please keep the videos coming. I've been looking for this song for the organ. But I haven't seen anything for it yet.

[@rstaples93]

Thanks for the kind comment! I really appreciate the sentiment! :) I intend to publish it eventually, but right now, graduate school is keeping me far too busy to take the time to do so. Also, I wish to figure out the licensing issues before doing so as well. Also, I've got another fun transcription finished already, and I just need to record a performance and publish it. I'm hoping to do so between the spring and summer semesters in a few weeks. Keep an eye out! ;-)

[@2008truckman]

I understand that feeling all to well. I'll definitely keep my eye's open for it. I have to take my hat off to you. My mind wasn't wired for writing music. So i've kind'a depended on people like you to keep the fun and cool songs coming. Are you using a Hauptwerk organ?

[@rstaples93]

Ahh, well I'm certainly not anywhere near the real talented folks out here on KZbin, but I'm trying to put out content that's not quite normal organ literature. Doing more outside-the-box stuff. Trying to make up for my inferior technique by doing interesting and different material. And yes, I am! The keyboards and pedals are from ClassicMidiWorks, the PC is self-built, and the sample set is the Sonus Paradisi Great Romantic Demo set from Augustine's Virtual Organs. It's a very versatile romantic organ, I highly recommend it.

[@2008truckman]

I look forward to what ever you come up with next. I'll never be as good as some of these guys on here. I don't have the time they do. But I also don't get paid to play the organ either. It's more of just a hobby plus playing for church for the last 16 some odd years. I do the best I can with what I have. I've been looking for another home organ to practice on. And lately i've been thinking a lot about Hauptwek. Besides I can get more for less. But myself and computers don't get along very well. But having a 3 manual organ and full pedal would be sweet to have with the option of adding to it down the road.

[@rstaples93]

Yeah, Hauptwerk is really the way of the future. The fact that it can be whatever organ you want it to be, just by loading a different sample is pretty amazing! And if you ever need pointers or help building a Hauptwerk organ/PC when you decide to do that, feel free to PM me here, or email at [e-mail], I'd be glad to help or offer pointers. I try to help evangelize this technology whenever I can. Or heck, if you're in the D.C. area, I'd love to help build another Hauptwerk! XD
