Fairground Organ #3: In Continental Mood [Unknown]

-Please Rate & Comment-
-Please Read the Description-

This is a complete list of the organ tracks played in the "Fairground Organ" loop played by Merry-Go-Rounds and Carousels in Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2.

These tracks were originally recorded in 1976 by the C.J. Mead Organisation, from a Voigt Model 35 69-Keyless Street/Band Organ at Bressingham Steam Museum, Norfolk. Called the Bressingham Voigt, it remained there for many years, but was eventually sold and now performs in the Netherlands. The record was owned by Chris Sawyer's father, and it's tracks were used in both RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 & 2. From what I understand, all of these songs are original arrangements from the Ruth Fair Organ Company.

Each of these eleven videos contain one of the songs, are numbered in the order they appeared in in-game lists and on the original LP, with the name of the song, as well as it's original writer.

#3: In Continental Mood [Unknown]
#4: Wedding Journey [Traditional]

#8: The Blond Sailor [Traditional]

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?

The proper title of this tune is:-

Die Schone Spanerischerin.

(The Beautiful Spanish Girl)

[PEULLEOSEU]

Probably my favorite from the Merry-Go-Round. I lmao'ed when it would have control failures.

@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.

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
