This is so uplifting and takes me back to my childhood. There was an organ at the Pavilion in Myrtle Beach, SC and my grandmother and my great-aunt would take us to go and ride on the carnival type rides AFTER we spent time listening to the organ. Hearing this took me back 60 years!
That organ is a german "38er" Andreas Ruth & Sohn(Ruth Model 38). Apparently it's been in storage for a little over 10 years? Goodness knows when that organ will ever make it's presence known again... it might have to have a whole new home!
I get the feeling this entire performance originated with Jonathan looking over the organ and noticing, "Oh hey! It has a bell stop! Well, I know how I'm spending _my_ afternoon." :)
Hahaha!! It's got far more percussion and 'effects' than simply a 'bell' stop, believe me!! You can see the crash cymbal and the xylophone being struck.
What a wonderful, exciting change of pace... Jonathan Scott on a theatre organ, thoroughly putting it through it's powerful paces. Rudolph Wurlitzer would have been superbly delighted as would Mr. Sousa as well. Outstanding performance!
Hey Ho Jonathan. At last a Theatre Organ. Would love to attend a concert of yours here in the USA. Especially the Philadelphia area. The two largest organs in the world. The Wanamaker organ in Macy's downtown Philadelphia and an hour or so to the Atlantic City New Jersey Convention Hall organ. Both instruments approaching 30,000 pipes including 64' stops. Then there is the Kimmel Center organ, a newer huge instrument. And of course, the Dickinson Theatre Organ Society Kimball - 66 ranks of theatre pipe organ. You will have to hear it and play it to believe it. How about the Longwood Gardens Conservatory organ. You are the guy to make these mighty instruments to do what they are suppose to do. Love and follow your You Tube presentations just about daily. Hope to catch a concert here someday. Meanwhile stay safe and blessed. Thank you for the music.
All the performances are instantly the standard renditions of their growing eclectic catalog of transcriptions. Registrations and tempos always on point. Phrasing impeccable. Photography smooth and unobtrusive. Wow can I invest in this? I love a sure thing!
Wonderful! Always one of my favorite marches, and wonderfully played. Sometimes people don’t realize that theater organ has it’s own playing style and technique - you play it beautifully! 👍
I've only ever seen you play classical consoles, first time seeing you play a theatre organ type console and you seem right at home. I love marches played on theatre pipe organs and big symphonic numbers too so play on Mr Organist Scott.
What a wonderful experience this concert was. Although not on the programme, this brings back memories of the concert. I look forward to a recording of the Rhapsody in Blue .
This piece had to be played on a theatre organ rather than a more conventional one to get the percussion effects that are very much part of the score. As usual, 10/10 for the performance.
Can't get enough of your performances. Not only are you classical transcriptions excellent, but you've captured the spirit of Theatre organ as well. Bravo!
Wonderfully played by an extremely talented musician. I love to hear it at a march tempo with a softer chime. I have enjoyed many of Mr. Scott's performances, especially his phenomenal transcriptions.
There is NOTHING quite like a Wurlitzer Theater-style organ. The magnificent tremulants, the throaty thin reeds combined with the rich tibias, and the other features make it a positive joy to hear.
So lovely to hear you paying a theatre organ! I love classical music, especially organ but also love music from the shows etc. I occasionally get time on a 3 manual Compton organ here in Victoraia Australia. Not enough time though! Many thanks again! Phil-down-under.
@Harold Slick I intend to do just that when I return home. Can we start some sort of letter/internet campaign to make this happen? I'm thinking Atlantic City & National Cathedral as well. Thoughts, fellow American fans?? 🎹🎶
@Harold Slick Friends of the Wanamaker Organ is the support organization & I'm going to start there. I'm currently in London so I don't have any info with me but will be happy to coordinate mid October when I return home. So happy to know others want his to happen!
@@Towerbrian23 I would be honored to do so but he and Tom need to be invited to a venue. Sadly I have no connections or contacts in the organ world to prompt that invite.
Wonderful, exciting, revitalizing! I've seen this video many times on TV but on the computer it's incomparable! Congratulations and thanks to you both!
I used to play this organ whilst it was still in its original home at the Granada Theatre, Woolwich, SE London. Candour compels me to admit that Jonathan's playing is about 1,000,000 times more accomplished than mine ever was!! Happy memories of a lovely organ in a spectacularly beautiful theatre. The building is now a church and styled 'Woolwich Cathedral'. Their website is well worth a visit. Peter A
The sound of this organ is fun. Always reminds me of amusement park, silent movie, Charles Chaplin. Vibrato is typical of this style of organ. Very good. Liked it.
I love this video. Its out of Jonathan's usual genre, but it's fun and he masters any score and instrument he touches. And this march by Sousa ALWAYS brings a smile and makes me chuckle given it's Python context. Sousa wrote some great music, anthems, marches, etc. It would be amazing to hear Jonathan give an entire concert dedicated to this genre of music featuring an instrument like this. Maybe having Tom join in on piano. Would be a great addition to their recorded concert collection!
That was cool to the percussion play. Wow. You are a true organist whether if it's on a theatre organ or church organ. Your one of the true organist. Love it.
A real master of the theatre organ as well as classical organ. Would love to hear you play more marches like the Florentine March and perhaps Aces High from the Battle of Britain movie both of which have scope for impressive pedal solos.
Now this *is* a change! Great stuff! (And I wonder how many people noticed that the tremulants don't come on for the first 30 seconds or so, and all the better for it.)
Please sir, consider taking the Rossini "William Tell Overture" to the theatre organ. I know- the "March of the Swiss Soldiers" is usually a standard, followed by the "Call to the Cows", but the "Storm" movement is tremendously arresting on theatre organ, especially with the thunder roll effect and cymbal clashes, and a good balanced registration to take it from "raindrops to downpour".
besides Monty Python, it reminds me of a scene in Tommy.. when Keith Moon is playing the big rolling organ/cash register.. "Buy your way to heaven, that comes to one pound seven, bless ya love!!"
And now for something completely different!

@@wurlitzer895 Well, yes, but the bell is specifically suggestive of this particular song...
This just really seems appropriate to be played on a theater organ, particularly a Wurlitzer. Nice job!
so not just a classical organist but a wurlitzer organist as well. Lets have more
This is the BEST organ version I’ve heard!
I will NEVER tire of listening to this maestro

Delightful, brisk tempo and registration changes. Loved the glockenspiel and tubular bells. 👍🏻
13 Liberty Bell performances so far and this is the only one that includes the bell. And it's only one guy! Many kudos for this amazing rendition.
Just Brilliant. What an organist.
That was GREAT! You should do more Sousa.
What fun! All those toys to play with. It must have been fun getting ready for this project.
Hmm ... on the fifth or sixth hearing, I realise that there is a major flaw with this performance: It ends far too soon.
We need more!

Excellent, excellent, what a joy! Thank you, both.

One of the more gentle Granada Wurlitzers, such a lovely little Wurlitzer to play!
Absolutely agree. And it sounded quite superb in its original home!!
This piece had to be played on a theatre organ rather than a more conventional one to get the percussion effects that are very much part of the score. As usual, 10/10 for the performance.
The carousel and the theatre organ: complex pieces of machinery designed and built purely for the purpose of giving great pleasure.
Wurlitzer and the Philadelphia Toboggan Company have brought a lot of happiness into the world.

Thank you Jonathan for that piece. I so enjoyed listening to that. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇿🇦💖
Lovely. Some great registration changes there, and a lovely pace
Well, I always loved Carlo Curley's arrangement of this piece, but this is very entertaining. Thanks!
You guys are incredibly gifted in all styles of music and all kinds of organs. Thanks for sharing all these treasures again and again.

Like others I have always been fascinated by theatre organs. More please!
Good played on this impresive instrument. Happy weekend everybody!
Oh my im so glad I found this great music. Thank you for your talent.
Loved it Jonathan! Sounded great !
Thank you VERY much. I have a video of my daughter playing this organ, at 16, when we used to spend all our holidays at Tywyn. Thanks for the memory.
Thank you so much for this post. Beautifully played. I love the grill in the trio section and your showy, yet tasteful use of percussion.

I totally agree.
You are such broadmindend organist!
Thank you for this magnificent clip!
Adri from Holland
It'd be awesome if you could do one of your 'Organ Tour' videos of this instrument. Great performance by the way!
Wonderful
Stunning and the late great Terry Jones was born not far from Tywyn either! He would have got a kick out of this! WELL DONE!
This played on the carousel band organ in a park during my youth. And now, for something completely different ...
Nostalgia bells ringing
Delightful piece, wish it was longer.
That was cool to the percussion play. Wow. You are a true organist whether if it's on a theatre organ or church organ. Your one of the true organist. Love it.

I have always admired the organists coordination
Excellent.
Excellent as always but I still would like to hear it at The Bridgewater Hall.
Wonderful!!!
That was awesome!
Whee! This was fun (note the hairstyle before lockdown and Mom's barbering!)
Please do more wurlitzer pieces!
Great fun Jonathan!
I had hoping you would play something on theatre organ which has been my life's passion.
Me encanto!!!
I've always thought of the theatre organ as a truly whimsical instrument.
