[adrianmusic2009]

beautiful march...God bless you !!

[Glamagal20091]

A super piece of music, and Vincent Price in the film, what with his voice-box and frightening looks!

[nchashim]

Takes me back--this was the music that my high school used as the graduation march.  It was great to have something different than the usual Pomp and C.

[silverstartrucker]

Pity about the poor quality sound.

[theaterpipe1]

The quality is perfectly fine.

[silverstartrucker]

I have put an excellent audio version of this piece on my youtube site Nicholas Kynaston is a brilliant organist. Have a listen...........

[godzilloid]

Wonderful. I really wonder if the composers had any idea that their music would live on like this,

[Lennythewinner]

I don't care how many notes you got wrong (what wrong notes??), the sheer presence and timbre of this performance are second to *none*. Perfect!

[01salvatore]

yo tambien toco esta marcha pero no con la maestria de esta version . felicidades

[livingElvis]

It's hard to hear it and not remember the memorable "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" opening scene where Phibes [ beautifully played by Vincent Price] comes up from the ground while performing this song on a stetically '70s organ.

[Bobzeaux]

And the split seconds where the music still plays despite Price's hands not touching the keys. *lol*

[livingElvis]

That's the most beautiful part of it! lol Price was a demon, he could do that! lol

[Bobzeaux]

"The... doctors all... said that I... couldn't play without... touching.. the keys... They were of course WRONG!" >:)

*lol*

[lbjb247]

That's one of my favourite movies.

[omegaman59]

@livingElvis The memory is inescapable of the great Vincent Price's rendition , he did it so over the top it was brilliant!.

Doesn't the piece drift in to Twinkle, twinkle little star though?.

[winston5610]

I liked the bit at about 2:30-2:45 where the assistant tried to turn back to the skipped page; the organist handeled (pun intended) it well.

[sichree23]

Halarious! You have someone changing the page for you. I didn'y realize that there were four "keyboards" on that thing. How do you do it, UK?

[64ftContraBombarde]

the organ is out of tune!

[FunnyEstonian]

Omg that was soo freeking nice .

Now that is the right version of that peace .

And it plaied on organ . Wery good play .

And why the hell do people let other noobs but up some crap what is wrongly played

and freeking modifilled to a wery crap version .

But this is the best version .

[frankkkappa]

A true priest should be a warrior a physician and a man ! All in one !

!

[OllieMugwump]

One of my favourite organ pieces; perfectly sums-up the 'God of Abraham' who glorifies himself on war and unending pain.

America should drop the 'Star-spangled Banner' and adopt this as its national anthem!

[monkeybobo123]

It wasn't that many years ago that that was THE graduation recessional.

[Soliloquy09]

It is still is THE graduation recessional. A real commencement excercise will play this great tune and I cry everytime I hear it in the capacity. SO anticipating May 15, 2009

[monkeybobo123]

ARG!! THAT WAS MY DAD WHO POSTED THAT! DARN YOU DAD! lol. I still like it.

[jota3ces]

fabuloso, explendida apresentação!!

[georgelee43211]

[johnmartinez123]

Wow! You are awesome. I wish you could teach me. Where'd you learn?

Where you come from?

[steelersfanhawaii]

I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hence my loyalty to the greatest professional football team ever. I went to school in California and relocated to Hawaii in 1992 - shortly after the LA riots (Rodney King beating aquittals) - I wanted to "get out of harm's way".

[Japanese1970]

@steelersfanhawaii

Someone played this organ in 1988 and the sound was not impressive.

Beautiful rendition.

[BeFrSc]

Why do you ask?

[BeFrSc]

Does anyone have the sheet music for this?

[jusca]

I have it in pdf format.

[Filmstudent89]

can you email it?

[jusca]

sure, no problem. let me know where to email it.

[Cindermakers]

Which arrangement is this?

[morticianman]

I have been waiting so long for someone to past this on THE ORGAN, thank you soooo much for sharing!!!!
