i think you played the best star spangle banner in all the you tube world.. i like that you took your time to play it, because everyone else rushes to much on that song... loved it!!! thanks for sharing with us your star spangle banner!!!
I just came back from spinal surgery and I am a devout patriotic. My son, Christopher from New Jersey said to me: "Mom, here is something to inspire you!" And he played your magnificient inspirational presentation. So, I salute you this morning for inspiring a person who needs inspirational thoughts and hope to recouperate. So, hats off to you on this fine sunday morning!! THANK YOU for sharing your magnificent talent!!!
Handel81, i cannot still help but be in tears, this is one of THE MOST if not THE GREATEST renditions of the star spangled banner I think I have ever heard in my lifetime!! BRAVO!
Superb! As always. Impossible for mere mortals to sing, but this reminds how majestic and stirring this tune is. Now if you'd just do the same for the Italian national anthem! Per piacere.
I make my own stop and pedal arrangements for all the stuff i play that isnt all ready organ music.....im proud to come from what could be the church country of the world and im proud to be a part of this great ever growing community of bright young organists with fresh new ideas.
pompom, you have to really i guess feel the strength of the song, maybe if you fully hear it, you'll see that he does give the anthem a twist and more, maybe you need to let the music fill you up, just like my spirit did when i heard this the first time, so, try it.
As the organist of the town of Bridgewater and a representative of Venice Italy, let me be the next to say, God bless America and all who visit and live in her!
Thank you, that means alot to me, I live in the U.S. Thanks from Chicago, Illinois. May God bless you, Italy, and all who touch the soil you proudly stand on!
I live in the U.S. and it makes me very proud that you posted this, Beutiful playing!!! I like it played this way better than the way the way its played here, and if you didn't know(not sayinganybody is stupid for not knowing) This is the U.S. National anthem, God Bless you all!
WOW - I have listened to this so many times and still get goose bumps, never heard anything like it, what a Talent you have, Blessings to you - Lance †
The Star Spangled Banner is actually an old Scottish drinking tune that originated in Britain. Francis Scott key used the song when he came up with his own lyrics and words during the Battle of Fort McHenry.
Handel81, i still get tears in my eyes, i cannot thank you enough for this outstanding version, im trying to share this with everyone I know, i think that many people are telling you how we all feel about this version...it is sooo inspiring, it inspired me too. I did a music video of the song and I would like to share it with you!
Another awesome performance Handel81! I love your improvisation of this national anthem. Your sharing your talent is greatly appreciated. Please give up your day job and just post videos or better yet produce CD's or still better DVD's so we can watch your fabulous playing.
Un musicista di alto livello e un uomo di valori nobili e (di questi tempi) coraggiosi: ecco a noi Handel81, un organista abile e generoso che ci regala musica in qualità e quantità. Adesso sono sicuro che noterà il mio commento in mezzo agli altri! Di norma non lascio commenti perché non mi piace passare inosservato, ma stavolta è dovuto. 5 stelle!
Lei è un monarchico? Quindi crede che un tempo le nazioni erano governate da uomini scelti da Dio, come oggi ancora accade per alcune, e che quindi la repubblica sia illegittima. Interessantissimo! Mi piacerebbe approfondire questo argomento che in Italia è adombrato (chissà perché!).
Salve Luca.... Sono deliziato nel vedere che continui il tuo eccellente di lavoro di Organista, e che continui a illuminarci con queste stupende rielaborazioni. Massimiliano.

The pasing is great. It's nice to hear it played as a hymn and not a march, or some song to be rushed through as quickly as possible.
This had my college roommate an me in tears dude, it's absolutely beautiful.
