Louis Vierne: Finale from the 1st Symphony

[1888bfs]

This is amazing. So well done. Everything about it is wonderful, like, everything that downtown1961 isn't.

[fanny0820]

pruement génial

[Zumipali2]

Is it really speaking? I can't hear.

[Alwaysapipedream]

@Zumipali2

It's a blend of digital equipment and the pipes. I have added a 8' Trumpet stop.

[gngeannakakes]

I am facinated with the pedalboard toe stub setup that you have. Nice performance by the way.

[downtown1961]

It's a quarter step==at least==to high and ugly.

[Alwaysapipedream]

@downtown1961

All the instruments used in this video were tuned to A 440. This sound is a bit stringy, I agree,,, but ugly?

Anyways, as will all comments, your input is appreciated.

[hankia92]

@downtown1961-rude....i thought it was nice!

[lithium3fun]

I are a jealous man.

Nice set up.

[OrganNLou]

You should try this with the Hauptwerk Software.

[drewedwards8484]

That is so cool!!! I would love to have a set up like that at home, but my wife would never let me. Thanks for the video!

[Alwaysapipedream]

@drewedwards8484

Thanks so much. It does take up a lot of room. I hope your wife changes her mind.

[pegrueneis]

gratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep going

[virtualpoboy]

This is neat! One thing I notice is the definition of the themes and counterpoint in Vierne's work. This is a new but still traditional way of listening to this music. Very inventive!!

[CzarLyrus]

Where did you get the sheet music? You'd think it would be public domain by now!

[Alwaysapipedream]

@CzarLyrus

I have the sheet music. For the life of me, I can't remember where I downloaded. It's in PDF format. I'll try to find it and send you a copy.

[gngeannakakes]

@CzarLyrus Google "IMSLP", click on "Composers" under "International Music Score Library Project(IMSPL) Portal", click "V" at the top of the page at "Contents", find & click on "Vierne, Louis", click on "Symphonie No.1 ..." and follow the download instructions ... have fun ... ;-D

[potamiag]

this organ has an amazing string division!

[Alwaysapipedream]

@potamiag

Than ks for your compliments. It's quite a system.

[potamiag]

@Alwaysapipedream did you build this your self including the pipes?!

[Alwaysapipedream]

@potamiag

I bought the organ and set it all up. The pipes were already part of the system.

Thanks for your interest.

[potamiag]

@Alwaysapipedream  you must love this organ quit a lot to keep it in this kind of shape! Keep on filming videos and uploading them fo the people that dont have something so amazing!

[ChucklesKeys]

this is just too cool! LOVE IT!

[cmoore479]

LOVE IT.... LOVE IT! Great set up.

[8tempelhof8]

this is so incredibly awesome that it borders on madness!

[Alwaysapipedream]

Thank you. I'm not quite at the madness stage, but I'm getting there. More madness to come soon!

[8tempelhof8]

@Alwaysapipedream i certainly hope so. again... just outstanding!

[Syniqal]

I really do love this. Honestly, it has to be one of the most fantastic things ever. :)

A friend of mine and I are now planning to build our own MIDI-controllable pipe organ. :)

[Alwaysapipedream]

That's great. You will learn patients. The end result will blow you away. One can only hear this music with limited sound equipment. In my studio, you feel the music.

Thanks for the compliment and good luck.

[acoustics101]

Thanks for writing me about your MIDI interface with your pipe organ. Yours is certainly a unique setup that blends pipes and electronics very well with the ability to play the entire setup live or from MIDI files. I enjoyed the MIDI performance of Vierne's Finale!

[learning41230]

Great sound!

[ChrissysVideokids]

Good sound, good video....

[steamcanuck]

Outstanding!

[organboy2323]

Wow.......... I'm stunned. Amazing.

[Alwaysapipedream]

Thanks organboy2323. It was fun putting this together.

[ryorgan]

I've played the organ all my life (over 40 years) and can only say wow to your work. To heck with the few wrong notes. Listen to all the right ones please k25.

[Alwaysapipedream]

Thanls....remember, this is a MIDI performance...played by my PC.

[joedevens]

Not bad for MIDI

[MANN5X1]

Very Good!!! we always look for traditional and no-traditional works, and yours is magnificient, I can see and hear a lot of work here, man, you rocks!!!

[Alwaysapipedream]

Thank you everyone for your great comments. It's much appriciated!

[kipp0man]

very impressive - loved the huge sound and complex arrangement - great post - thanks

[rauschquint]

I like this. I've heard this work played on pipe organ, but with this rendition (and headphones) I can hear a lot more of what's on the upper manuals. I think the pedal reeds of a real organ along with room acoustics drown out the upper manuals; there's many more intricacies in organ music that what is often heard. At least that's what I found with the organ music I've played with on synthesizer. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[rttipton]

This was a fantastic first attempt. A "few" notes missed is ridiculous statement - would like to here K25 play it.

[kmdpiano25]

Great rendition...would love to hear this performed with real instruments and perhaps even some more symphonic instrumentation. I would go back and check your transcription....there are a few wrong notes here and there.
