HI, Tregnier 279,

I thought I'd continue in the vein I started a couple of weeks ago with Gavioli Tom, I believe this waltz is by the young, English composer & folk musician, Andy Cutting, who has composed several waltzes. I'm glad someone is still composing delightful tunes to traditional ballroom rhythms as it's not the most popular genre. This version must surely qualify as a "concert waltz".

Best rgds, Hillman

Die Schone Spanerischerin

[nicolaj0154]

does anyone have some videos with this organ?.

[tregnier279]

Not that I know of. It's the "Bressingham Voigt", and played at Bressingham in the mid-1970s, when these tracks were recorded. (If you search 'Bressingham Voigt' on Google, you'll be able to find the record these tracks were taken from for the game.)

At some point, the Bressingham Steam Museum sold the organ to pay for some steam traction engines (or something), and it now resides in the Netherlands as a street organ of some kind.

Does that help?

[draaivermaak]

@nicolaj0154 when you search at youtube: "oliebol100" you'll find the owner of the organ. He uploads by the time also vids of this organ.

[Wurlitzer157]

I always remember the song speeding up when the carousel broke down!

[tregnier279]

I always loved that to!

[nicolaj0154]

lol, same here, and i still like it.

[petermackett37]

The proper title of this tune is:-

Die Schone Spanerischerin.

(The Beautiful Spanish Girl)

[tregnier279]

I'm basing the titles on what they are referred too by the game's Music Credits.

[petermackett37]

I have this record in my collection and the title you gave is what is on it but when it was made a few of the rolls on the organ had no titles on them so they were made-up for the recording.I have a friend with a model 35 Ruth who has this tune on it and that is where i got the title from.Hope this helps.

[tregnier279]

Oh, do you happen to know the specifications of the Ruth Model 35 (i.e., ranks, number of pipes, etc.)? I've been unable to find any information on them.

[petermackett37]

I will send you a personal message with details.

[tregnier279]

Oh, and I should have mentioned this, but would it be possible for you to get video of the 35er Ruthe playing this? Or any of the other songs from this game?

[petermackett37]

The Ruth in question has only been shown in public once since the owner bought it.If i see it again i will try and video it for you.

[tregnier279]

Thank you.
