That mischievous grin you give as you start layering on more is gold. I wish we had a way to replicate the full power of that wall of sound you get to experience to our computers. Thanks for sharing!
I AirPlay this from my iPad to my home cinema amp, which has large floorstanding speakers for left/right. OK it's not the same as being in the Albert Hall, but it's an impressive full sound when I turn it up.
and this, right here, is why organists are my favourite musicians: you can do pretty much what nobody else could. This video is proof of that. Very nice arrangement and obviously superb playing.
Its One Day! My favourite part of the pirates of the carribean soundtrack. So beautiful, I hope I will be able to hear it like this at some point. Absolutely breathtaking!
It sometimes takes a little ingenuity to get the musical parts to fit together into a cohesive work. I am amazed at what you can accomplish at the organ. You are a true master!
Seeing this video really connects The Dots for a knucklehead like me! Hearing the different musical patterns and then seeing how they are done is amazing! The commentary helps tie up the loose ends and makes the whole "behind the scenes" segment easier to appreciate. The work you have to do in preparation Anna is over the top phenomenal. Watching this a second time, I immediately thought of how quiet it must be in there at 2am with nothing but your organ serenading the air! Wonderful share and your smile truly tells us Fans just how proud you are of this musical arrangement! Cheers and MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
Anna's brain is on the next level of computing. She may be the bridge between human and robot, a borg! Resistance to Anna is futile, her charisma, talent and beauty is irresistible. 😉👍
Oh my gosh, how on earth does your brain work? I get a headache just listening to you explain, then my brain goes just wants to go on holiday after watching this. No wonder you’re the best at it. Well done. ❤😂😊
Ummm... maybe like 5 or 6? For another example, listen to George Wright playing The Stars and Sripes forever. When the piccolo comes in at the finale, that's 5 parts. Thumbing down, a fiely tuned art.
Avery accomplished Organist, amazing dexterity blended with great imagination. Love how she mixes classical with rock. Anna will be a joy to hear well into the future.
When asked what it takes to play a big pipe organ well, the late (great) Virgil Fox replied: "Many hands, many feet, and MANY brains!" Anna, you ROCK!!! 👌
WOW!! I'd seen you reach *up* to the bells before, but reaching DOWN is... literally next level... And you were just getting to my favourite bit, can't wait for next vid!!
Amazing. I can't wait to hear you play in Luxembourg in just over a month! Not sure what to expect. But I hope you playing that massive organ is going to leave me gobsmacked.
Can't wait to acquire the sheet music for this version of "Drink Up Me Hearties" on your site and start the process of trying to convince my Organ professor to teach it to me ❤
Seeing your comment about the organ being out of tune reminds me I must (as chief organ hydrator) this week climb up into our church organ to check on the buckets of water (to aid in keeping a more balanced humidity in the instrument). Thank you for the insight around layering the themes - thank heavens for thumbs!
Here I am, suprised every time I manage to walk and talk at the same time or even just walk and think at the same time, and you manage to do all that at once? I'm so impressed!!
This piece was originally composed to be played by a Kraken, hence all of the challenging tentaclework. For someone with only four limbs, you've done impressively well!
I play several brass instruments, some with valves some with keys some with slides. I thought that was tricky. Having 5 separate pieces of music to achieve with 4 limbs… wow! Organ is not just a piano on steroids, it’s life on steroids!
I dont know how to explain it, but ALL the videos that this beautiful lady makes, i cry! I dont know if its something about the tone of the organ, her dexterity, i just know that when i hear it, i always cry!
I wonder when Anna is starting to use her elbows and the tip of her nose to hit buttons and keys. Her pencil is already in use for the bells, as we know... Absolutely faszinating...
She already uses her smile - the iPad that holds the music has a page turn feature that a “forced smile” recognises and presents the next page - if you watch some of her other videos you’ll see her doing this. I guess the only downside of this feature is that you can’t “enjoy” yourself too much (externally anyway) or things get out of sequence pretty quickly.
You know learning the Organ was hard for me being a man because in my younger years I've built many engines & Pistons to me are the things that go up & down in your engine and make power, Then I learned the Synth keyboard first which was also really hard because of all the technical terminology used then the Organ & all that technical terminology was all different again. Technically a really good synth organ can be setup to do exactly the same as a real organ + infinitely more sound voices but generally it doesn't have the raw power of a real organ (depends on your amplifiers) because it's also the building as well & even the best synth can't quite replicate that experience including an electronic Organ which is what I practice on, not as much as I should sadly, I need another life time to do that well like you Anna.
Out of curiosity, which planet are you from? Total respect, my entire abilities would be consumed with the left foot part. Would love to hear you play in the RAH one day. 😊
Amazing. Hans Zimmer is one of the best composers of our time. His performance of this medley at the premiere was spectacular: ruclips.net/video/xpQ810mA5_A/видео.htmlsi=WArapZwJ5MFKYvog
The ambidexterity required to play this instrument is mind boggling! In fact it's more like multi-dexterity! Bravo Anna! 🤩
Same with drummers I would say.
@@DonDuracell Similar, but less so. Having played the drums once upon a time, I'd say this is more difficult.

Absolutely amazing 👏 and thank you for these shorts you have been delivering lately. Seeing what goes on "behind the curtain" is so appreciated.
Love that smile ❤
Absolutely brilliant. And I love that cheeky snippet of "He's a Pirate" at the end, it has quite the gallop to it.
Can't help but admire and appreciate the dedication an artist puts in their craft. Anna your second to no one.

Amazing !!!!! Can't wait to hear it finished :)

I can barely do one thing at a time, let alone 5!!!
Anna's brain is on the next level of computing. She may be the bridge between human and robot, a borg! Resistance to Anna is futile, her charisma, talent and beauty is irresistible. 😉👍
Imagine waking up and hearing this at 2am! hahahaha. Always cool to see these videos.
So you figured out how to play as if you had extra hands! Outstanding!
Those rhythms are insane when played one to an instrument in an orchestral version. I have no idea how you manage them all at once! 💗💗💗
This is magnificent and insane at the same time, your skills are wild
Love the registration, kind of comes across accordion-like, which is very appropriate. Looking forward to hearing the complete work!
Oh Anna, putting all that together at the same time sounds incredible.
I enjoy your music SO much!!!
🌴☀️🌴
That brings a whole new meaning to multitasking!!
Amazing how you achieve the dexterity to play beautiful music 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
I definitely wouldn't have the skills to do so many different things at once. It sounds beautiful.
Oh my gosh, how on earth does your brain work? I get a headache just listening to you explain, then my brain goes just wants to go on holiday after watching this. No wonder you’re the best at it. Well done. ❤😂😊
Wow what talent God has blessed you with! I struggle with doing 2 things at one time ❤
Ummm... maybe like 5 or 6? For another example, listen to George Wright playing The Stars and Sripes forever. When the piccolo comes in at the finale, that's 5 parts. Thumbing down, a fiely tuned art.
can't wait to hear that complete!
Can't even imagine doing all these things at once but you make it look so easy! Serious talent!
Amazing! My mind is boggled but my ears love it! 😮❤
I have always imagined this piece being an epic transcription!! Brilliant!
Avery accomplished Organist, amazing dexterity blended with great imagination. Love how she mixes classical with rock. Anna will be a joy to hear well into the future.
Your joy is contagious

WOW!! I'd seen you reach *up* to the bells before, but reaching DOWN is... literally next level...
And you were just getting to my favourite bit, can't wait for next vid!!
I love it when you post with you playing. Thanks, from across the pond.
OMG! That’s so beautiful! 😮
Amazing. I can't wait to hear you play in Luxembourg in just over a month!
Not sure what to expect. But I hope you playing that massive organ is going to leave me gobsmacked.
Just learned another level of complexity to the biggest man-made instrument in the world! Great video and also great song!! Thank you
Totally amazing. ❤
I hope that one day I will be able to hear you play live i can only imagine how the energy must feel when you are playing
Anna, you are amazing! 👍🏻🎅👍🏻🏴
This was awesome!!
This is WILD. It's like playing 5 instruments at once. Absolutely mind blowing.
Can't wait to acquire the sheet music for this version of "Drink Up Me Hearties" on your site and start the process of trying to convince my Organ professor to teach it to me ❤
Anna, You have the ability to make even the wrong notes sound right.❤❤
Thank you a bunch for sharing !!!
😮😮😮😍
Impressive!
Now I understand the "organ is almost a whole orchestra" idea.
Superhuman coordination skills
No words, just smiles!
Amazing and simply beautiful.
Seeing your comment about the organ being out of tune reminds me I must (as chief organ hydrator) this week climb up into our church organ to check on the buckets of water (to aid in keeping a more balanced humidity in the instrument).
Thank you for the insight around layering the themes - thank heavens for thumbs!
Cannot wait, thank you.☺
Masterpiece! Thank you!
Wonderful!
Here I am, suprised every time I manage to walk and talk at the same time or even just walk and think at the same time, and you manage to do all that at once? I'm so impressed!!
This is great❤
lovely
My god! You arranged the stuff from AT WORLDS END..where up is down melts into the love theme😮
Don’t think anyone even take notice, if you hit the wrong piston! The audience is too preoccupied and in total awe of you and the incredible music! ❤️
I keep seeing, changing the page with my eyes, now that Really has me intrigued
Fascinating
Brava, beautiful. 🥰

Totally a superb organist would love to see Anna play at Chichester cathedral
I dont know how to explain it, but ALL the videos that this beautiful lady makes, i cry! I dont know if its something about the tone of the organ, her dexterity, i just know that when i hear it, i always cry!
Incredible! I’m maxed out with 4-valves on the euphonium.
Wow😊
Would love to hear the full thing :)
Fantastic. Your approach to us is brilliant. I can't even read music!
the video stops when the best part is about to start :D:D:D
Always handy to have detachable thumbs!
Strait in to goosebumps !!!!
Amazin! Will we hear this next Tuesday in Dortmund?
My favorite is you play Dr Dray!!
I wonder when Anna is starting to use her elbows and the tip of her nose to hit buttons and keys. Her pencil is already in use for the bells, as we know... Absolutely faszinating...

Where can we hear the entire piece?
Adoro questa Donna!!!
A real human sequencer - The Terminannator!

Full playthrough when??
An incredibly elegant one-man band.
Me, looking at my tiny hands and fingers: Well.
I can barely play it on a keyboard let alone an organ wow talent
🤯🤯🤯
Has the harp gone by the wayside? You're always so busy with the organ and conducting the choir.
Out of curiosity, which planet are you from? Total respect, my entire abilities would be consumed with the left foot part.
Would love to hear you play in the RAH one day. 😊
👍👏 Simply too much talent!
Is there an ethereal voice part you could be singing as well! 🤔😂🤣
Impressive
Entire orchestras hate this one trick 😅
My brain would be fried if I made an attempt to play that!😵💫
That is so complicated! Don't see how you manage it. I have trouble keeping up with one string on a four-string bass guitar. 🙂
The trio sonata of pirate music😂
OMG!!! I don't know how you do that.
You are amazing

Don’t the neighbours in Kensington Gore etc get annoyed at the noise at 2am?
Amazing. Hans Zimmer is one of the best composers of our time. His performance of this medley at the premiere was spectacular:
ruclips.net/video/xpQ810mA5_A/видео.htmlsi=WArapZwJ5MFKYvog
Johanne Sebastian Bach would respect this! Then, he would immediately try to one up it 😂 those who know about him know it’s true 😊
Is there such a thing as country organ music?
One more thing, and you'll need your nose also to play some stuff 🤔. Complicated, but in the end, the finished product is worth listening to.
