Fanfare for the Common Man - Copland

My arrangement (in progress) of Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man", for organ solo.

I originally wrote out the timpani / bass drum / cymbal parts in the beginning to be played on a 32' / 16' flue cluster, but it did not turn out satisfactory on the recording; in person, it sounds fine. Thus, two versions, with and without the percussion in the pedal will be offered.

It is present in the rest of the piece, however the mic does not pick it up well. I will soon get a professional mic.

This is a rudimentary recording for demonstration purposes only. Apologies in advance for the distortion and popping.

h3y great work...keep it up, there's just nothing like massively amazing pipe organs; as someone who's worked w/ hi-end comptuer graphics/3d + various other technology for a long time,, i can safely say when looking-listening to great pipe organs, it makes most of our visual & audio technology look like it really hasn't advanced;-)...! =][=

Oh, look - a Baldwin! Exciting! I'd recognize the Baldwin APS control panel anywhere.
