When I was very small, on Sundays Dad would play records for my sisters and me to dance to. This was a favorite. (On Saturdays, Mom would listen to the opera on the radio.)
Heard this performed ibn 1972 (or 73) by a band of high school students (US) in London of all places. The consternation on the faces of the Brits was priceless!
Love this recording, slightly warbly, sounds very old! :)
Have a good memory of hearing this piece for the first time when my choir went on tour to Chicago (from the UK). Didn't even know our conductor could play organ than he whacked this piece out. I absolutely love how playful it is. Brilliant!
Bravo! Well done. Played just as indicated at the end where the composer says "hold on to the bench with one hand and pedal it just as fast as it'll go" So many other performers fail to do this but not you. Excellent.
Underappreciated genius, old Charles is.
Doin' God's work posting all these score videos, George.
What a titanic piece, and the organist is just a monster.
I played the piccolo on this piece - it was an arrangement for symphonic band.
L'histoire des USA semble transparaître à travers ce poème symphonique avec ses heures de combats (dissonances) et ses heures de gloire (consonances martiales et rythmes dansants). Belle performance pour cet instrument somme toute ingrat à entendre qu'est l'orgue. Ô God !
Such a fun piece haha!
Pocas veces he escuchado una obra para órgano tan hermosa como ésta. Es una coincidencia haberla escuchado hoy 2020 Octubre 09 en la emisora CLÁSICA 88.5 de Cali, Colombia.

7:08 lmfao @ the manual switching
In the origin, it was a melody composed in 1686 by Lully to celebrate the healing of Louis XIV after he underwent surgery for an anal fistula. God save the royal arse!

😊
I believe this is the firsts actual use of politonality
In 1891
No, sir. Listen to Battalia à 10, by H.I.F. Biber (1673).
@@rolandmeyer3729 Yes I know, but it was used to depict drunken soldiers. Here is treated like a normal part of the piece.
RIP Ben Johnston
???
No idea what Johnston has to do with this video at all, mate

Hey, if you don’t know, there’s an orchestrated version of this piece that, in my opinion, does a lot more justice to this amazing piece; but just because of the associations with have with various instruments and how they relate to US and (US) revolutionary history.
The orchestration was by William Schuman, an oft ignored dean of American fine art music.
