"Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" - Justin Stahl at the Allen TQ-5 Theater Organ

- Here is Justin Stahl playing an impromptu performance of Leon Jessel's 1897 piece, "The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers." This is a favorite of mine and Justin plays it quite well. The organ is a 2005 Allen TQ-5 Theater Organ at Kaufman House. It is a joy to play (although quite daunting for me) and it was voiced very nicely. I hope to upload more of this organ and Justin in the future.

Very nicely done! What a monster 5 manual console! LOVE the Conn 'pipe speakers'. I had the full set on my Conn 645 deluxe, and then later on an Allen ADC-5000. That was six channels and I never used the those huge Allen speakers. The Conn pipe speakers were perfect and the organ was revoiced through them. What a difference!
Так весело я время ещё не проводила!мой восторг!.
This is Brilliant!! Its not just simply good - it is brilliant!! So Happy! We need this !!! More!!!
🦋😊 I thoroughly enjoyed listening to and watching this song....well, performance!
First time on this channel...I will be back! Happy Happy!🤗🦋
I love his beautiful playing. It would be an honour being able to get on the bench and have fun playing this big theatre organ and trying everything out that it has to offer.
Beautiful.Never forget this.
My favorite musical memory from childhood. Thank you for playing it.
So glad to bring back memories! Justin is an incredible organist.
Brilliant performance!
Excellent performance Justin
He's a wonderful organist to listen to and be around in general. Glad you enjoyed!

Keep playing, we need to here our younger talent!
I like this version of the march of the soldiers on a there’re organ which sounds pretty real
Hey Justin - - out of all of the lovely theater organ performances of this wonderful piece on RUclips - I probably like yours the best. I'd like to know how this was recorded and what loudspeaker system used (if applicable) The tone is gorgeous.
Glad you enjoyed. I'm actually not Justin. He is my theater organ teacher. I just enjoy recording theater organ performances when I can. This was just a quick cell phone video recorded on my Samsung A53. The organ utilizes quite a few different speakers including many from Allen and quite a few Conn resonator pipe speakers. Hope this helps!
@@TheAmpico - (figured it wasn't J's channel-- thought he might read) I'm amazed by the sound your phone picked up. Those Conn resonators much help tremendously in the spatial sense. I'm old - and never heard a theater organ in person. (I did hear Virgil Fox in Huntington WV with his classical touring organ and many loudspeakers) As I tinker with speakers, I've notions on speakers for analog and digital organs - lol. That is one sweet organ !
@@karlsonkab51 Wow! I'd kill to have heard Virgil play live. Very cool. Yes, those Conn speakers are certainly very nice. There is also at least one subwoofer underneath the floor (the organ is now in what was previously an indoor pool room). It really shakes the place. So much fun to hear and play in person. Glad it seems to sound alright in the video.
Bon rendu bien qu'un peu encore "synthétique" sur certains jeux...
What talent, and a class act! Bravo, sir!
I miss the pizza joints with the theater organ.
I just found this piece. It brought back memories from my childhood listening to “Toytown” on BBC radio during “Children’s Hour”. That was the signature tune for “Toytown”. Great playing, which I greatly enjoyed.
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it. Justin is an incredible organist. You wouldn't happen to be the John Mann of the Cinema Organ Society, would you?
👍...great rendition!
This is the "back to work you lay-abouts" music at Hyundai shipyards in Ulsan and Mokpo, played on large speakers in the morning and after lunch.
That's very interesting! I had no idea companies still did that sort of thing.
Gosh, I haven't heard this since I was a kid. 1950s.
Justin Stahl certainly does justice to this famous march and sounds wonderful on the Allen Theater organ!
You really know how to make that organ sing. I woud give anythig to have 1/10 your tallent. Thanks so much for shaing your skill. JIm
Great rendition on a great instrument!
My late Brother loved this record when we're kids in the fifties.
Are those Conn speaker-pipes behind the console functional or decorative?
Functional, I think.

My mother played this on piano never heard it on organ. LOVE IT!!!!
As did Grandfather while I banged along on an old tribal drum with Grandma’s wooden spoons. Happy memory.
How many speakers does this organ drive?
A ton! Sorry I don't have a more exact answer for you.
Bravo
Stunning! Favorite of childhood!
BRAVO well done and many thanks for sharing with the world.

Glad you enjoyed it
Great - loved it. Let's have more.
wow that was absolutely beautiful job! I am amazed how you are able to use all those hands and feet and still keep the song going. I just play 2 manuels and a regular full pedalboard and it is enough for me. Love this work of yours and will look forward to hearing and seeing more. Thanks for sharing.
Very clean, well played indeed, wish my fingers could play like that. 😀
I love listening to Justin play.
Wow, amazing
Outstanding! And accomplished with "street shoes"! :-)
Most enjoyable Justin 👏 thankyou from Melbourne Australia 🇳🇿
Justin is an amazing organist and quite a fun person to be around. I am very happy to call him my teacher.🙂
What a joyful sound maestro Stahl makes,it makes me want toget uo and march along!!
Wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
That did sound great! But I do wish he had played it a little slower. That was quite fast for a march.
That’s about the speed I remember it being performed as the signature tune for “Toy Town” on BBC Radio’s Children’s Hour back in the early fifties.
Im wondering if those Conn pipes are in use on the organ and second .... If they have a tonal effect on the organ.... On the Conn organs it helped them to be less sterile.... it actually improved their sound....
Hello. Yes, the CONN pipes are connected to the Allen. I'm not exactly sure exactly how much they improve the sound. The organ has many speakers (including a subwoofer underneath the floor). It sounds quite impressive in person.
That is definitely a Toe Tapper!
That it is!
Beautiful - Merry Christmas
If I were rich, I would have one built into my home.
Me too! I'll have to make do with my electronic one until then.
LOVELY JUBBLY !!
Does anyone know where I can find the music of this to play it?
This specific arrangement is Justin's own and as such it has not been transcribed, but there are plenty of different versions online.
Its tunes and performances like this that make me really envious of those that can play. As I cannot play I have to content myself with listening. That I can do very well 😁
Also known as the theme from Babes in Toyland🎉❤. I remember this well from my childhood.
I believe it was used extensively in the 1934 film, "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers." This movie is commonly referred to as "Babes in Toyland." I don't think it was ever incorporated in the original production of Victor Herbert's "Babes in Toyland." It's interesting to consider how many marches about toy soldiers came from the same period in time.
@@TheAmpico very thoughtful question. I have the Laurel and Hardy DVD movie, "March of the Wooden Soldiers,"and on the DVD case there's a bubble in the upper right containing the text , The Original, "Babes in Toyland." I remember watching this every Christmas since I was a child. We had a black and white television like everyone else at the time. I will be 69 in 13 days.
@@FiveBlackFootedFerrets It's a fun movie. I like the original operetta a lot as well.
Wow, that was amazing 👏👏👏👏
Glad you liked it!
How much does the TQ-5 Cost?
There are only a handful in existence (7?). The only one I know of for sale is posted st $90,000, I believe.
How much of this organ is winded?
Good question. It looks a bit deceiving, but it is actually all electronic. It's an Allen organ that was built in 2005. Behind the organ (and even underneath the floor in the former pool!) are countless sets of Allen speakers, Conn resonator pipe speakers, and more.
It's 100% electronic and sounds it to my ears.
@@LarcR As you can see above, there is no attempt at trickery. It sounds very nice in person. Funnily enough, there seems to be quite a shortage of 5 manual theater organs installed in Indiana homes. 😉
@@TheAmpico The purists would have us all playing barque-style trackers if they had their way! lol Electronic organs, if voiced well, are fine. They do the thing. It's not the same, of course, but they do the thing.
@@TheAmpicoIt's awesome to have that much range and flexibility!
Well, every church cannot afford a pipe organ, or has a wealthy benefactor. At least with Allen organs, one can get a reasonable facsimile, if they have access to good advice!
Also very handy in home/residential settings like this where a pipe organ installation often isn't reasonably possible,
