"Chevaliers de Sangreal" for the Hereford

PostFri Dec 21, 2012 9:18 pm

Hello All,

There are many pipe organ video's now on YouTube. I happened to have a look a few days ago and found one called "A Pipe Organ Medley". A high school student was playing the piece from "The Da Vinci Code" film. I had seen that film some years ago, and I didn't remember such a beautiful piece of music from it.

After listening to a number of YouTube versions, I tried to play the music myself, but there was too much to it for me. So I went to a midi approach. I used the grand Hereford Organ and put together something that I like a lot. I'm using the Hereford as a very large and wonderful synthesizer. Those big reeds on the Hereford give a really magnificent sound!

The recording is uploaded to Concert Hall here:

Sounds wonderful!!!

I have not heard this on the organ before but love the orchestral version.

Great performance and fantastic registrations.

Thanks for sharing.

Kind regards

Hello All,

I've just used iShowU HD to record the screen as Hauptwerk plays the Chevaliers de Sangreal piece on the Hereford Caathedral Organ. The recording is on YouTube here:

You can see the registrations I used and the notes as they are being played.

Leo,

Very interesting. I can see why you resorted to MIDI now!

Regards,

Here is my latest use of the Hereford as a synth, "Phantom of the Opera."
