Lady Gaga Fugue on a 250-year-old organ

[MegaDaboss2012]

gaga would totally play on something like that i think government hooker AWWW!

[organistpeter]

Unglaublich schön anzuhören! Hätte ich nie gedacht, ist fast wie ein Praeludium vom Bach's Hans... :-)))))

[deadaliveinparis]

Great... too bad the base pedals don't show up until the very end... but great no less.

This practice of using popular idems for written and poliphonic styles goes back at least to the troubadours and was even found used in Gregorian chant (although very forbidden)... or at least what grew out of these early written styles... by the time of Palistrina it was almost a tradition. Cheers!

Baroque organ in South Germany are very similar to Polish. It are Habsbourg' s, catholic' s common influences.

Begruessen aus Polen!

This is a beautiful piece of music and you interpret it masterfully. So much color and fantastic phrasing. I sure hope some church or cathedral is paying you well for your services because your music that I've been listening to absolutely touches my soul and refreshes the spirit. Well done!

[TheJaredtheJaredlong]

I'm glad to see the art of organ playing is still being continued

[Toelzerfanclever]

Hallo Organist aus Oberbayern, einem Fachmann wie Dir hier meine Meinung: Ich war in meinem Leben schon in so vielen Kirchen und habe immer wieder festgestellt, dass Orgeln oft überdimensioniert sind und dann "dröhnen".

Beispiele (!) dafür sind der Regensburger Dom, die Frauenkirche und die Hofkirche in Dresden sowie der Hamburger Michel Ein Gegenbeispiel ist die Orgel im Berliner Dom.

[martimtavares]

let's hope you don't go to hell for playing that on the church!!

[Leanaan]

@martimtavares Seeing as the video is interpreted as a sex slave auction, I'm thinking yes.

[Sabrineable]

amazing ....good work

Matthias: Du bist echt spitzenmäßige Härte!!! Großes LOB!

[o0a0ooo]

[LethbridgeStewart]

It wasn't Baroque, but you fixed it anyway. :)

[PierFrancescMicciche]

Hai la mia completa stima.

[MrEric0576]

WOW the song just got a LOT better!

[partie2nite]

Hi, the link to the sheet music doesn't work... Would you be able to email it to me, please? =)

[Messjuh1]

@partie2nite Just go to the video "Lady Gaga Fugue" by artofcounterpoint on the right, you'll find the sheet music there.

[partie2nite]

@Messjuh1 The video itself? Yes, but I'd like to print it out to learn it...

[BadTemperedPiano]

You are getting slower and slower... :/ By the way nice interpretation.

[delameu]

[resonantdave]

[sweelinckmeister]

@Messjuh1 Super!

I can' t download. The site is cancelled...

Its very well written piece. I also play organ (roman-catholic church), but I specialize in ancient music and history of organ building in Poland.

I' m doing a doctorate in Warsaw Uniwersity.

I have a question. On which voices in manual played you? Coppel/Bourdon/Gedeckt/Maior (In Poland most common name Burdon, Gedakt, Flet Major) 8' + Siffloete (Siflet) 1'.

[wljmrbill]

Nice to hear your new post. great job and love the sound of this old organ. Take care of yourself over there my friend.

[Messjuh1]

@wljmrbill Thanks, Bill.

[TheSuperCaiman]

I love the organ

[Orgelix]

Ich finde Fugen mit Themen aus der Pop-Kultur sehr interessant! Sollte es öfters geben!

[mikedc2020]

Brilliant!

[giselleg91]

We are studying fugues in our harmony class at the moment - my lecturer loved this!! (He also loved the organ)

[jordanbbuu]

I was thinking about for some reasons, 'what if it's like Bach's Passacaglia and the main melody is played by the pedals for a few times?' =S

[jordanbbuu]

Haha, a funky tune has turned into a fugue! Really like the Tierce de Picardie at the end.

[FloripanoBR]

HAHAHA It was INFINITLY BETTER than I expected. Congratulations for making this sound so good.

[justthatkinddaguy]

simply amazing!



[robbjcrouch]

This is absolutely delightful. And you're beautiful, too. --Robb from Nebraska, who studied on a Rieger

[Jefffypooh]

I agree  Awesome!!

[rossanamizunski]

Awesome!

[requemao]

Pachelbel's Canon in D reference at 1:44?

[henrifokin]

This organ has power. I mean, even not speakers cant do this...

[FloripanoBR]

@henrifokin I actually meant to like your comment, but I accidentally pressed thumbs down, sorry...

[daniel15671]

lovely performance of a terrific work. I too would love to find the music for this. I would enjoy playing it for church, just to see who caught it.

[McBomi]

cool can you give me the notes? I like it and i would play it too :-P

[johnyprestige]

Fantastic

[DanilMalinovPiano]

Wow! Bravo! :-)

[Whisperlands]

I think that God wouldn't be offended: This is too awesome to dislike x)

[LimeGirl08]

[MarkMusicMP3]

Amazing =D

[ChrissysVideokids]

Sehr schön..gute Fuge....

[MrsFaraway]

My husband (who liked this very much as well, regards!) and I listened to that piece several times, and we BOTH share the opinion that you CAN play that piece in ANY service! I really hope I will have the pleasure to listen to it soon on that wonderful church organ.;-) Everybody will enjoy it!

[artofcounterpoint]

Wonderful interpretation and sound, thank you very much!

[Messjuh1]

@artofcounterpoint Thanks, Giovanni.

[wljmrbill]

Enjoyed another fine performance on that great old instrument that you are so lucky to have for your use . Thaks for posting.  Bill

[MrsFaraway]

Fine work again. A stunning piece, wonderfully presented. Also love the stops you chose. The antique instruments makes it all the more special. I demand of course you playing it for me live at the next possibility on that wonderful organ. ;-))

[kneelworship]

fantastic (as always) send this to the Lady!!

[WorldComposer]

Nice ornamentation! I was just learning this on the piano and I thought I would see what else is out there. Nice job :)

[musicaorganum]

Excellent! When I first heard this on the piano, I was impressed of the Baroque style in which it was composed in. I must say that piece sounds even more authentic played on such an instrument as yours. Thanks for posting this. Again, great job!!!

[danyorgue]

WOW

[guyjay7]

I love the Gaga! Great job.

[goodchappy]

I'd heard the piano version, someone had to do it on the organ, well done!
