Simpsons Theme on a Pipe Organ

Simpsons Theme recorded on a 1953 Casavant pipe organ Opus 2189, augmented with digital voices and solid state midi action. The organ is in a church in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It sounds better if good quality speakers, or headphones are used, allowing the pedal's low notes to be heard properly.

Six registration changes occur during the piece. Preset stop combinations are activated by the little white buttons between the manuals.

The stop used for the Gracie Films signoff at the very end is a 16 ft Quintadena, a soft rank with a prominent 12th tone, played up two octaves. This stop is one of five in the Positiv division, located above the entrance doors to the church.

Great job! Do you know the Baby Elephant Walk?

@karlknoop thanks for the kinds words, I like your suggstion, as the 2 pieces have a similar melody, if completely different styles. If I get get the time to learn it, I will let you know. I am not a theatre organist, but rather a classically trained organist. This instrument has added organ digital voices, including theatre organ voices, thanks to a wonderful benfactor who loves theatre organs. That led to a theatre concert at church...I had to play a piece, and thought the Simpsons would work.

You played it better than the orchestra.
