- Here's a piece especially for my talent-class! We had class about the fuga because there's one in "Cool" (Westside Story)...This one is easier! (Lucky me) I tried to make the Hammond sound like a church organ...

This makes it much easier to understand why the hammond was originally marketed as a pipe organ alternative in churches
Exactly, and it differs from the modern keyboards because its sound is totally analog
Lenier Pernas - well, Hammond organ is not an analog synthesizer, it is an electromechanical instrument. Back in seventies we used to have analog synthesizers, mostly based on the Moog's work. I own one - Roland Alpha June 2, it's a lovely instrument. But it can mimic Hammond in no way. Today we have digital synthesizers, not as a big fun as with analog ones, but they can do almost everything. Among them, imitate Hammond organ is not a big problem. Roland has V-combo VR-700 (which I am a proud lucky owner of one) and VR09, and there are lots of models from other makers including Nord, and also Hammond itself.
An amazing invention using a series of spinning magnets and pickup coils to create sine waves and mix them much like a pipe organ mixes the pipe sounds. An electro-mechanical invention that was amazing for its time. Still is hard to beat even with current digital tech.
@cindykrista I don't think I've ever said that Hammond is a synthesizer, but in fact it is. Let me educate you a bit. We know basically two methods of sound synthesizing, one is called "additive synthesis" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_synthesis), which is actually the case of Hammond organ, and the other one is "subtractive synthesis" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_synthesis), which is how the most of the 70's synthesizers worked, starting by Moog.) Perhaps an interesting point is, that the subtractive synthesis is more or less also Hammond's invention, since he first used it in the Novachord instrument (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novachord). Digital crap means that a sound wave is sampled with the frequency of 44100 samples per second and the rest is linearly interpolated. If you feel like you can distinguish a variation in 1/44100 seconds, you should offer your abilities to an intelligence service, they would certainly appreciate that :-)
@cindykrista That's are indeed strong arguments :-)))
i love hearing Bach on any instrument. Bach would play it on anything, there's no reason we can't do the same.
Bach: yeah really idc which instrument
Would he?
@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG yes.
@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG Bach used to practice in his house on a table clavichord.
Could you imagine if we could get a Stratocaster or a Prophet into Bach’s hands?
People say the Hammond organ can't create a pipe organ sound due to lack of harmonics but this sounds very pipe organ like
I don't know about sounding very "pipe like" the Hammond even at the most "realistic" registrations still has a distinct timbre unlike that of pipes. Its very easy to tell the two apart even with the most realistic possible setting.
Sounds very much like a Hammond, but not a pipe organ. No way! But, Hammonds are fantastic in their own terms.
Hammond just doesn't cut it for a good church organ in my opinion. Sure you can tell the difference with those key clicks . They are a night club, jazz, and made for the dance hall floor as one minister told me. I added also good for rock n' roll, and holy rollers.
I said people say that ,not my opinion, read my comment carefully, I think the Hammond can be very pipelike regardless of the lack of harmonics
geoffrey Brown - the problem is not in the lack of harmonics. Hammond organ has (almost) the same range of harmonics as a pipe organ has. The problem is in the single harmonic wave shape. While Hammond produces nearly ideal sine waves, then combining them into harmonics, and finally adds some noise through Leslie or chorus (which actually makes the sound interested in the end), the shape of single wave produced by a flute or similar pipe, is a little bit more complex. Basically it is not a problem to simulate most of the pipe organ stops by modern digital technology, and theoretically Hammond could do it also by modifying the shape of teeth on the tonewheels. But this would probably be technically too demanding, or Hammond just found his own sound like innovative and beautiful. Which I also consider as a big success. It would be just boring to produce another pipe organ emulator. Hammond has created a completely new sound.
Bach fails to disappoint me...
Except for that one Goldberg Variation.
I never thought I would enjoy hearing Bach on a Hammond, but after hearing this and some of your other videos, I love it! Great stuff!
This fuga is simply lovely, I can hear it every day. I can play the first 8 measures now. I know, nothing exciting, but still better than nothing :-)
These sound so cool. They don’t sound like a pipe organ but they sound 10x better than any other electric keyboard. Gorgeous playing thanks!
Like#773, Brilliant music my favorite by J.S.Bach.Excellent played and elegance interpretation With best wishes have a good day
I played many authentic organs in Holland, Italy, France and Germany. This version is on a authentic '66 Hammond. Ton can play this piece in 100 ways and perhaps you can. This is not about judgements but about possibilities and efforts.
I can do (much) faster but I don't like that in this piece..
Holy cow.... when replicating the church organ the Hammond really does a great job. Also, amazing job on this piece!!
the pedal notes around 2:00 made my house groan.
Yesss!
As floor-shaking as they sound on a six-inch Vivanco Thor set *with* bass cut, I feel glad I don’t have fifteen-inch boxes with hundreds of watts behind them.
This is my absolute favorite version of this piece. I love the hammond organ sound and the tempo you play at, some versions just sound too fast but this is just right. Really nice work.
I listen to this over and over! I love it so much! Please play more classical music on the Hammond. It is truly amazing! Touches my heart!🎶🎹🎶🎹
Great registration! I liked the tempo - not too rushed.
Sound beautiful, what are drawbar settings?
That was wonderful, what a treat!
That was a beautiful listen. Thank you. I'm a guitar player in a non classical tradition, but this makes me want to start all over with keyboard.
The tempo feels just right for me!
Genial
I'm a baptist organist and I never heard any cathedral. sounds. on the hammond. organ
Perfectly paced, I hate when people treat this piece as a race. The parts need to be heard, not some big mash of sound!
Very rare to hear a classical piece on the Hammond. Well done.
👏👏👏👏
@cindykrista Yeah, can u link me to any? Would like to here some specific stuff on it notably BWV 537 and Duruflé
I had both a Hammond H-100 and a Hammond Regent and I dug playing Bach's Fantasy in g minor and Toccata in d minor from memory on them. They had the neighbors looking in our windows, LOL! Miss playing those pieces. :(...
A 360 degree instrument, even for classical!!
Good playing!!!
I am a pipe organ tech, organist, and have 2 Hammonds In my home. They will play just about anything you want them to play! I practice at home and then go to the church for the final rehearsal before Sunday on the pipe organ.
I must say that if a Hammond organ is attached to a Leslie tone cabinet, that they sound much better. The Leslie cabinets have much better and larger speakers inside than the Hammond consoles and Hammond tone cabinets.
Beautiful!
The day I achieve such independence of my hands, I will be able to say that I learned to play the organ. For now, I can only say that I know how to play "some" songs....
Thank you!
meravigliosa musica complimenti con mio cuore amico mio caro carissimo con affetto dalla mia sicilia un saluto caro tuo amico giuseppe
Very very cool, I love it! The real stuff👌🙏🌟♥
Sabaton - Red Baron? Anyone? :D
YEP
yess
Sabaton brought me here. All hail Der RoteKampfflieger!
Nice pacing, articulation, and drawbar registration!🎶
WOW ... love it. Played that many times, and even on a Hammond. It works!!
hey, the hammond still sounds deeply serious when being pushed to the sacred music :)
Hans zimmer was inspired by this piece to write parts of the movements of interstellar
Thanks! I think this is the "Empty Church" reverb from Logic (a computer sequencer programme)
Just check the same piece played by Ton Koopman on a 17th century Schnitger... I'll leave you to make your own judgements!
Love Bach on the Hammond.
Could hardly tell it from a real pipe organ!
Very nice !
Sounds like Jon Lord from Deep Purple ❤
well done.
a song by Bach, is worthy of a lifetime.
Bravo, encore and thank you. Believe that the progressive rock group ELP played a clipped variation of this fuga, but on a synthesizer.
Sabaton have done it as well at the start of The Red Baron.
O som desse órgão hammond é divino 🤩
How about BWV 582 on Hammond?
Bach is my favorite composer and I play him often on my channel.
For me it's not a problem to play on an Hammond organ because you have choosen the good sounds.
It was a good idea at the end to change keyboard to have a sound a little different.
Very well played.
🎹 🇨🇵 👍
Play until 0:55 at 1.5 speed and tell me what you hear.
Now I want to hear gospel on a pipe organ
Set the video to play 1.25 x the speed and it becomes perfect!
yes the right tempo as heard on walter carlos by request
The Hammond certainly sounds like a Cathedral church organ when a Leslie or two are used with the Leslie Speed is set to chorale(slow) speed. The Hammond Organ itself is cathedral without the Leslie speaker but the Leslie Speaker adds that Pipe organ effect via Chorale speed setting. It would also have a better catholic hymnal accompanying feel to it as well.
I myself is to grew up on playing Hammond organ as a little kid taking lessons as well; but now even at 62 years old love them even more; even Jesu Joy by Bach is also good using the tremolo; you will love the sound; my music teacher has a Hammond at her church in Nashville TN and I will be playing it!!! Your playing was fantastic indeed!!
i love this music is so relaxing
Wonderful playing! The reverb makes this sound live and not "sterile".
Why the separated notes?
Wish that a manual could be coupled to the pedal.
Next: BWV 577 "Gigue Fugue"! (I play the joyous, rhythmic work for people who hate organ music.)
great! post some more Bach
It does sound like a church organ Rein
The only thing I find hard to understand is why the contractor decided to play all the votes touch is non-Legato? The impression of a hammer, pounding nails,not the divine music of Bach.
Thank you so much for recording this. Very beguiling
I love that; it is delightful! I love BWV578 and I love the Hammond organ : what's not to like?? Thank you (and well played).
A beautiful music with the good sound of Hammond. One can play jazz, rock and classical music with this organ that was in the early churches. Excuse me for my English, I am French in France.
I love the sound, what i don't like about hammond is the attack. Pipe organ have a smooth attack. While hammond have a very hard attack.
Rein de Jong and your B3 ROCK. I had felling the Hammond B3 could play this and i was correct. Good Gosh , sound is as great Pipe Organ.
Som único incomparável
2:20 The a bit lower notes entering here are played on the pedals, right? A few seconds later it looks like the notes match up with the left hand again...
Good play,very exact articulation and trill,tempo is not the most important thing in music.
I also like the sound, it demonstrates that the timeless excellent sound quality of an original Hammond is also useful for classical and sacred music !
But the bass is too loud in proportion to the treble.
Could you please share your drawbar settings used in this performance? It's amazing!
Очень тёплый,мягкий,обволакивающий звук. Попробуйте послушать с закрытыми глазами, это что-то....Очень понравилось исполнение,несмотря на мелкие недочёты
Nice! Reminds me of Styx. The played a version of this fugue on their second album!
How did you make the Hammond organ sound like a church organ? (I sometimes think that the drawbar setting 808808008 80 808808008 with a slow Leslie speaker or no Leslie speaker would be useful for church repertoire.)
It's very important that you start out without any vibrato. I always try to make use of the thirds and fifth's. That makes it more "real". Have fun!
The Hammond organ's real purpose is to sound like a pipe organ. The A-preset on the bottom manual is a good start...
I think also quite a big reverb plays a role
Faster would sound right on a more baroque sounding organ, but sounds awesome at this tempo on a Hammond! I couldn't figure out how he was getting it to sound so good on a Hammond until the very last note- you could hear a long reverb. Must have been digitally added.
If only we could hear Gospel Music on a Harpsichord.
I listened to a three million dollar pipe organ today with selected Bach pieces, the Hammond has a better sound. Bach would have liked the Hammond. Nice Job!
Sounds like Bach at the baseball stadium!
Or a church? :)
This is amazing. That means that you play without hearing that reverb (only added after recording ) I would be inspired to play and play just hearing the sound coming out like that :)
Can you please PM me on your technique of recording your Hammond ? Microphones , etc ?
Thanks
Hisham
After a nuclear holocaust the only instrument left will be the Hammond Organ. Amazing build quality. I play my Hammond c2 through two JR-20 tone cabinets with the original oil filled reverb system its sounds great for being built in the early 50's
I haven't heard this fugue before, but it sounds great at this speed to me. Beautifully played - and the Hammond rises to it. Re the reverb: I assumed it was spring line rather than digital. Do/did Hammond organs ever have a sping line built in?
Love it!
sons profonds et purs de l'orgue hammond rivalise avec les Grands orgues.
va bene l'hammond ma l'esecuzione è troppo slegata per i miei gusti
This is one of my favorites. I learned through about the first twenty bars some time ago but never got near finishing it. This has inspired me to dig out my Bach Organworks book somewhere in the bonus room and keep at it. I love how it ends on a positive (major-no pun intended) note.
sabaton red baron vibes
I dig it .This is my favorite piece from Bach and have never really like it when done on an organ even though it was originally written for it, But at this speed its actually quite nice. whereas all other versions on a organ sound messy and the notes seem all mash together.
Awesome sound!! Which drawbar combi do you use O: ¿?
There's nothing any better than Bach played on a Hamond. Thank you for sharing
Love the drawbar settings! can you post them in the comments?
Bravo, de faire revivre Bach de cette manière .. Phrasé, tempo parfaits et doux ...
Doesn't sound much like the doors anymore xD nice work
HIA, LOVED THAT, GREAT SOUND AND VERY WELL PLAYED :)
WooHoo! Good Job! I like your tonal settings on the draw bars and your interpretation.
Fantastic playing and the organ sounds majestic ! May I know which reverb you are using ?
OMG~I love your playing. You have a wonderful "touch." Was "hooked" ever since I listened to your "Whiter Shade of Pale" video! Thank You! Thank You!
Divine playing...wonderful! ✨
Amazing 👏👏 very nice sound 😎👍
.....wow.....
A church organ. With percussion. Noice!
At 1:15 it thrills me away!!!! ;-) Best Version of a great Music!!!
This is my favorite fugue for organ. I played it myself. you do an excellent job.
nice but slow
There are definitely some moments in here where I am most impressed with the sound.
