If this isn't played at my funeral, I ain't attending.
I won't attend mine either way.
It's boring to be ded. (not a typo)
"You tell everyone that if anybody cries at my funeral I'll never speak to them again!" Stan Laurel to his nurse shortly before he died.
I state categorically: In all of music the world has ever known, there is no more majestic sound than a great pipe organ played by a master who knows how to exploit its full potential. It is the GOD of musical instruments. And to properly appreciate them, they must be heard in person. When the lowest bass pedals are in use, the floor shakes. So do you.
That is why they are almost exclusifly found in churches.
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra has got one in their concert hall in Copenhagen (DR Koncerthuset). Heard the Interstellar theme live and yes, the floor does indeed shake!
Ancient writers say the pipe organ in the Temple of Jerusalem could be heard in Alexandria. (All the Jews must've been deaf).
You obviously haven't heard me play the comb with grease proof paper around it! 🙄
@@wms72 would be great to listen some music on pipe organs out of churches & cathedrals, ie cinagogs, temples, etc.
Links are very much appreciated if you please
thanks!!
Ride of the Valkyries: Usually requires a whole orchestra to play
The Pipe Organ: Allow me to introduce myself.
Pipe Organ: Hold my beer...
My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.
Pipe Organ: I'm a man... of wealth and taste
So true.
I went to school with this guy. I knew he wanted to be an organist, but DEAR GOD.
thats really cool!
There are few things in this world as badass as using your hands and feet in concert to play an instrument the size of a building.
Longest organ pipe in the world is 64'and isntvoiced, it is felt!
And do a superb job of it too! WoW!!!
100%
😊
@@jaredharris1940I believe at least that.model of organ was used in the recording of "Also Sprach Zarathystra" in a church in 1959, later used as the theme for 2001.
As someone who can barely “walk and chew gum” at the same time. . . Watching and listening to results of two hands and two feet in action. . . BRAVO!
That's what amazes me. He is essentially playing 5 keyboards & operating the stops as well at the same time. Respect.
I couldn't even get my left and right hands to play different things, I couldn't imagine trying to play using my feet, too.
The skill required to play this solo on an organ is amazing in itself.
God bless the RUclips algorithm for sending this to me.
I love the sound of Wagner in the morning. It sounds like.......victory!
Thank you Adolph!
Does it smell like napalm?🤔
You just had to go there! Thanks guys 🤣🤣
I want to invade Poland!
Charlie don't surf.
I've been learning piano for 10 years and I'm still rubbish. This is mind blowing. How can one person independently use all four limbs in such a coordinated way. Superhuman!
I agree, as one also learning the piano. It is astonishing what the brain can do. And don't forget about reading the score at the same time. Though not the biggest fan of the organ (save in live performances in grand locations), I remain in awe of anyone who can play these complex instruments.
Practice... for thousands of hours.
And to make it even more impressive no organ is the same as built in site (may be similar but all play or have keys a specific to that instrument)
Drummers also learn to use their hands and feet independently.
@@carloslandeo932 I'd love to see a drummer play Ride of the Valkyries.
PLEASE don't let these incredible instruments EVER want for artists to play them! The fact that a human being can make something this elaborate and complex sound so perfect is simply mind-boggling.
I never knew all these beautiful instruments were in churches and buildings all around Manchester !
I’d love to hear one in person .
And the rare people who can play them
The catholic church has an organ of this size and caliber that I went to as a kid. The organist that I knew was allowed by the church to play on it as long as he wanted. They felt it would be a sin if it were only to be played for a total of 7. 5hrs a week. For mass only. I remember the first time I was hearing something different then hymn music coming out from those pipes and I immediately heard the Ride of the Valkyries. I was in awe. The church had incredible acoustics and the stragglers that were still around chatting with each other immediately became quiet and just listened. The organist was trying to train a person who could play all the church's music on a piano to do it on the organ. He died and the so called new organist took over and unfortunately left the last settings alone and lasted for only three years before he quit. That beautiful instrument never sung like it once did. You even don't hear them at your major league baseball parks anymore. I even remember seeing the organ at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. I thought the organ in my church was huge but this one made it look like a toy piano. Talking about talent. It was a Wurlitzer 4/26 orchestral organ. A monster of an organ and from what I saw there are only two left that are fully playable. Thank you Google. But back then people had the time to do stuff and be creative. And now people seem to not want to or just not interested in doing the stuff that the generations before us loved to do since they had time on their hands. As time progresses it will eventually become a forgotten craft. Also the upkeep has gotten to be really expensive so it doesn't help either. Now through a computer you could get an organ sound and the more expensive the software the better organ sound fx it will have. Sigh.......
For every person who can make full use of a major-league pipe organ, there must be thousands who can land a jetliner.
These aren't just musical instruments they are frequency healing devices. Certain frequencies produce different energies and these amazing devices will do that. Also cymatics, the shapes of the windows, frequencies affect and create energy and matter. Amazing! Most organs are removed from the churches now. The churches themselves are energy powerhouses harnessing free energy and dispersing it. To this day I believe.
The neurons in this guys brain could light up a city.
In no neurological expert but I think that the muscle memory allowing this kind of coordination is housed in the spinal cord.
OMG!
That was a full great symphonic orchestra of some 120 instruments, 8 sopranos and altos on their horses. Towering clouds building up a storm.
All performed using only 10 fingers and 2 feet.
And, of course, that beautiful piece of art and craftmanship, the organ, the star.
I am speechless.
Thank you for sharing.
Exactly!
This is the “Kill The Rabbit” song from bugs bunny and Elmer Fudd of looney tunes. Kind of mind-blowing when you think what made those silly, yet splendrous sounds?
@@lyndacarter4586 yes! And the tune from Apocalypse Now. The Air Cav scenes.
I think only Fortunate Son beats it for the Vietnam soundtrack.
Huggy wuggy sing sad
My first job was at a pipe organ company. The power of listening to those instruments being played incomprehensible unless you are there. All the stops and actions. It take a master to play one as good as this man does here. I remember seeing pipes from as small as my finger to ones you could almost crawl into and 20+ feet long.
As a former piano class attendant, I can attest how long practice it takes to teach your left hand play different rhytm than the right hand even in the most simple music renditions. Now add both feet to it and the fact that this piece was intended for orchestra...
400 years ago, the pipe organ was the most complicated thing that was man-made. It stills brings up gooseflesh.
I’m going to gamble that the pipe organ is a hell of a lot harder than flying a space shuttle.
Never thought I would ever use the words “organist” and “badass” in the same sentence…
Totally appropriate! 👍
Then you clearly haven't watched Pirates of the Carribean
@@sayven I have, but I don't recall what you're thinking of. 🤔
@@comesahorseman I think there's that one scene where the guy with tentacles plays organ? I haven't watched those movies in ages lol
Þen im afraid your some flavor of fool, virtually all organists are badass
Most people will never understand how complicated it is to use your legs and fingers to play such a piece. Hats off to the great musician that played this piece. Talent on lone from GOD himself.
Most people will completely understand how complicated it is, they just can't comprehend how it's actually possible!
Drummers have a little bit of an idea..
I understand that it is very complicated, but I also understand how it is done.
Although I never went beyond high school, I loved playing the timpani. It may not be nearly as difficult as a pipe organ, but there are a few slight similarities between the two. Five drums that require using mallets, dampening with your hands, and re-tuning throughout a piece with your feet. For me, each action just became an automatic response when I knew it had to be done, and the hands and feet parts were all thought of as working in cohesion, not separately.
Practice, practice, practice... Why do you have to bring a god into it.
I'm not that coordinated.
I can't even begin to comprehend the level of coordination and mental compartmentalization/agility that takes.
It takes a lot of practice & patience! (I am a pianist & organist.)
I have a hard time to hit the right key on my cellphone, this is a absolutely amazing performance!
And I can not even begin to comprehend the mind that conceives, designs, and builds such an instrument. Fantastic.
As a heavy equipment mechanic and lover of music this is the best combination. What a machine! In boarding school my music teacher was the organist. He would slip 'smoke on the water' in during Wednesday morning service as we filed out.
hoot
This organist is nothing short of awesome. That’s a busy piece of music!
In in past, pipe organs were the most complicated machines on the earth.
Still are!
Actually during the time of the pipe organ that would be ship of the line warships although pipe organs definitely rank high on the roster.
I disagree, in the age of Bach a full rigged sailing ship was .
@@karlnordinger5968 The two are not mutually exclusive. It is possible that at one point in time a fully rigged sailing ship was the most complicated machine and at another point in time a pipe organ was the most complicated machine.
@@karlnordinger5968 Here is a quote from the Wikipedia pipe organ article: “By the 17th century, most of the sounds available on the modern classical organ had been developed. From that time, the pipe organ was the most complex human-made device-a distinction it retained until it was displaced by the telephone exchange in the late 19th century.”
Just "" WOW"!
How did I manage to live this long without discovering earlier that Ride of the Valkyries has its main melody played on the organ pedals rather than on the keyboard? Magnificent sound on that organ, and expertly played by Jonathan Scott.
If I were to have an in-ground burial, this is what I would want blaring from the hearse transporting my coffin graveside. No insult - this is awesome!
one of the finest pieces of music ever produced by humankind.
This is one of my favorites, along with tocatta and fugue in Dm…..I’m gonna add Claire de lune in there too lol
Wow! I'm speechless.
There's just something about an organ being unleashed that will give you major goosebumps. Amazing performance!
I AGREE!!
Great RESPECT, for the Organist.
Imagine being the next door neighbors, getting to hear beautiful music such as this every day
...as the windows shake, all the dogs cower, the floor vibrates... But yeah
Along with his superior technique I’m impressed with how quickly the instrument and the related equipment (behind the scenes) kept up with the musical demands this piece requires. Plus this instrument is over 100 years old. Bravo!
The organ was built in 1913, and was 'rebuilt' in 1979. It's still mostly original hardware.
Uh yea that was ONE person playing.
@@jfs7327 there is about 2-3 other people with the sheet music that do things that you can't see. These organs usually have a group of at least 2 or 3 people to play a piece
@@ironnads7975 um, no? He's got the score printed half sized, and the organ has a full compliment of registration aides.
To add a little context to some of the other comments here, if you look at the round buttons below the keys, they act as presets to nearly instantaneously change stops. If not for that upgraded functionality, you’re right in that there would need to be a person on either side to keep up with the pace of the piece. You’re absolutely right about how good he is!
Ich bin begeistert, Jawohl
I just love the sound of a world class pipe organ played by a world class organist!! Bravissimo Maestro!!!!
On a high school trip to Germany, Austria and Switzerland, I was the weirdo that wanted to hear the pipe organ at all the cathedrals. The castles and Alps were a side show (but still appreciated). To be really appreciated, these things need to be heard in person. There is nothing like the sound that comes from these. Even just hearing church music on such an instrument was mind blowing. The sound coming out of it was almost as intense as being really close to city fireworks show. The sound literally can be felt inside you from the power of the instrument. I think I would have died if they played this or Bach's Toccata, or even any number of other classics.
Agree
I'd absolutely love to bask in being there to listen to someone doing this in person.
Thanks from a German. See the Movie, and our history, in my mind.
I've played piano all my life, put myself through college playing professionally. This man's talent makes me cry. What an awesome performance !!
You are a good soul. Be safe my friend. 😊
That must sound amazing in person
Good heavens! I should be working but instead I've just spent 5 glorious minutes memerized by hands and feet flying. Amazing
The organ is just a crazy instrument, you are literally playing a building.
Just read a message from the Scott Brothers that this video has reached 1 million views. Well deserved! Johnathan is today's E. Power Biggs and E.H. Lemare. From Chicago, U.S.A. (January, 2024).
There aren't any words in the English Language for anyone to describe just how next level incredible and special this performance is. It is exceptionally rare when one can unequivocally state that they are in the presence of genius and anyone who heard this live would truly know what it is like when sound has real feeling. I'm 50 and I've only experienced that sensation once in my life. This gentleman is a true gift to music.
Yes 100% pure feeling expressed in every note played by hand and foot. masterful performance.
That is magical
Sitting in front of my computer listening with head phones does not do this justice. I heard a recital on the pipe organ in Sydney town hall a very long time ago, an overwhelming experience.
This is mind blowing
BRAVO MASTER ORGANIST
I'm Electrician. Was working in a similar church when they were doing rehersal.
It was amazing. It was like my hair standing on end for couple hours.
WOW! what a ride!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely stunning.
It must be around the 20th. time now that I enjoy mr. Scott’s beautiful performance.
Wow. Impressive.
Wow! This guy could become a champion video game expert.
It says much about a society when the installation of such a magnificent instrument for the sole purpose of making music was so important it was marked by the presence of nobility. Granted, the organ and the music it helped produce was intended to inspire the listener to seek the guidance of God, in a way, they are one and the same. Just beautiful and moving beyond words.
That ladies and gentlemen is the sound of a master and the pipe organ in my humble opinion is sometimes very very underrated! The pipe working can be used to play anything! I do mean anything! This has to be one of my favorite renditions of Ride of the Valkyries! Thank you. Bravo and Bravissimo! 😊
Hello Jonathan, This performance is amazing! I had never heard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" performed on pipe organ. All I can say about this performance is... BRILLIANT !! Best regards, Will Ortiz
Listen to Quentin M. Maclean's version recorded in the 1930's when they recorded directly onto wax disc, before magnetic tape. He makes one pedal note mistake, but they released it anyway.
To me, the complexity of playing an organ as complex as this is "mind boggling"! Amazing feat!
Actually one of the main orchestral pieces that is widely transcribed for organ. Great British organist, the late Martin Souter recorded it on the Whitchester Catherdral organ , Stephen Hicks recorded it on an early Allen digital organ I think Virgil Fox also played it. This is a splendid performance. I think we should try to transcribe many more great works for the organ as there is no other instrument like it.
Bravo
This was GREAT I loved it I am a new subscriber and look forward to seeing more pieces by Wagner, puts me to to the scene in Apocalypse Now,classic!!
The pipe organ the single most impressive instrument we’ve ever created. A recording simply doesn’t do it justice. The gravitas of the pipe organ in person is hard to describe, it’s the difference between listening to wave sounds on your phone and standing at the shore of the ocean. You can feel the crashing of the waves, the wind across your face, the smell of the salty spray, and marvel at the endless horizon. It’s something that needs to be experienced in person to truly understand.
Even a small pipe organ has a physical presence like no other instrument except, possibly, a steam calliope.
As a child, for context, I am now 72, I went with my family to an event in the multi-purpose building in Grand Rapids Michigan, this building had a basketball floor, a theater stage and a pipe organ. We were probably going to 5:22 a circus, but the organ was playing. From two blocks away, we could feel the bass through our feet. We could experience more and more of the sound as we approached. Walking through the door, the music hit us like a wall of sound. I have loved pipe organs ever since.
Man, it's presentations like this when I'm glad I have an amazing sound system...
Beautiful and amazing job we are glad you shared it with us.
Wonderful! It is almost unbelievable that only one person can perform this monumental musical miracle! Congratulations Jonathan, you are great!
Anyone who can play like this is blessed, and anyone who hears them.
Amazing!
Apparently YT thought I needed to see & hear something outstanding...and for once I'm not disappointed! This was amazing!
Is that your real face?
Thank you Sir for a wonderful piece of music!
I clicked on this initially intending to have it play in the background, but the spectacular talent it requires compelled me to sit back and behold a feat that I couldn't achieve in five lifetimes. Bravo, sir.
Yes sir, this man can boogie. Amazing footwork. Splendid job Jonathan.
BRAVO!!!!
This would have been mind blowing in person. A computer, no matter how good the speakers, cannot do it justice.
This actually gave me chills.
Isn't this what such majestic instruments were made for? Wow!
Well, yes. The organ isn't referred to as "The King of Instruments" for no reason!
Talk about "pulling out all the stops!" Amazing.
Organs are in fact the origin of that phrase.
Majestic!!
I have never heard this piece played on a pipe organ...WOW.
Just WOW!
And it's hard for me to walk and breathe at the same time... Awesome
Fantastic
Powerfully executed.
Phenomenal !!!
FANTASTIC!!!
Amazing! I would love to experience this 'live '
Awesome!!!
Fabulous.
Oh my gosh! Speechless and awed in Seattle
The sonic pressure inside the Town Hall must have been exquisite!
Bravo!! 👍
I remember a story or a tale, there was an accomplished Pipe Oragan Keyboard Artist, who played for several hours. Then he goes on to take time to thank everyone in several prominent people in the audience and several other people who helped bring the performance together. He proceeded to sit down to play the set. Pressed keys and nothing happens, tries again and again, not a sound, by now he is getting upset, and he hears a small voice say "What about me? Without me, sweating to pump these bellows, to pump the air, no sound of music will be heard at all".
Everybody's rightly blown away by the organ and musicianship, so I'll just add: Kudos to the video production. So well done at all levels.
Stunning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what you call majesty. Plain and simple.
That gave me chills.
FABULOUS!!! OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
Amazing
I'm sitting here on my 2nd cup of coffee not even ready to go yet... here is this man being his own Orchestra!
I'm doing good to walk and chew gum at the same time. Not only is the instrument complicated, so is the composition. This man is awesome.
That organ is as much of a complex machine as it is a musical instrument.
The fact that one human can play that thing so well is astounding to me.
they are such a wonderful instrument, I'm glad they haven't been thrown away in favor of electronics.
Thrilling! The articulation of the bass is something to behold, owing to the instrument and its demonstrated master! Thank you!
One word: WONDERFUL!
This boy is pure genius. His skill level is extraordinarily.
AMAZING!!!
This man is bionic. Wonderful. Thanks.
His talent is beyond words❤
fantastic footwork!
