My Organteq music in one place (Pianoteqenthusiast) (Page 1 of 2)

Thank you dazric! Yes, I am using all my free time, it's so relaxing to play/compose with Organteq

Gymnopédie No. 1 - Erik Satie

Beautiful Organteq sound again, beautiful music, for meditation, day-dreaming….Tempo in sheet is about 72. I change stops some places.
I was so tired when I got it recorded one late night. And the next morning when I with great expectation, sleepy,  played it - it sound so beautiful - is this really Organteq? I love it!

Nicely done !  Very sleepy indeed.

A. Vivaldi - ”The four seasons, Winter”

https://forum.modartt.com/uploads.php?f...ter%20.mp3

I was not sure an organ could possibly do justice to this piece. Well, maybe I was wrong, not so bad…I’m using about same tempo as ”Jonathan Scott plays his organ arrangement of Winter (L'Inverno) from Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" on the organ of Basilica de Santa Maria, Elche Spain” 2017.

Maybe we should not compare to an orhestra, this is a transcription for organ.  It didn’t sound good playing too slow.
One can of course always listen to the original if one don’t like it Anyway, I wanted to give it a try. It’s a feeling, I admire both the composer Antonio and the instrument creator Roman
Music is about rain : ”Before the fire to pass peaceful, contented days while the rain outside pours down.”(words are from The Four Seasons sonnets). Left hand is my ”raindrops”  and right hand play the violins

What a production!!

Thank you very much for sharing all of it. I am glad to see that Organteq is well used

I like your interpretation of The four seasons, Winter!

Roman

Beautiful performance and sound from Organteq of Satie's Gymnopedie 1. Really nice!

The Herdmaiden's Sunday (try listening with headphones)
Ole Bull was a Norwegian virtuoso violinist and composer 5 February 1810 - 17 August 1880)
Easy pieces are often NOT easy to interprete. And my communication as a performer of this music piece to the listener was not easy with Organteq, difficult to communicate emotions, tried to choose right stops… (I wish I had understood, as a child, what my teacher meant, telling me to interpret the music, I stopped taking piano lessons). (The Herdmaiden's Sunday, it’s a song). A adagio part from a violin rhapsody. The text is about a young girl who have to stay the whole summer on the mountain, dreaming to be at home on the way to church, when she sees the sunlight high in the sky she knows the church bells ringing ( there ought to be chimes at the end chord…).
Thank you for reading and listening

Edvard Grieg  Last Spring
The journalist Vinje's words, from Grieg's Op. 33 No. 2, the poet describes the beauty of the countryside in spring, appearing after the snow of winter; he thinks he might be seeing it for the last time.

J. S. Bach Prelude & Fugue BWV 560 - From 8 short Preludes & Fugues BWV 553 - 560.
Not the best and most powerful performance I ever have recorded, but it’s me, Pianoteq/Organteqenthusiast  Can’t play as Ulf Norberg on Youtube.

Many things change, but Bach’s music always works.

Thank you Gaston for your kindness. And I like your humor. So uploaded Joke No 7, Pianoteq and Organteq together

Thank you my friend! I made one more, variations on Frogg song from 1600 traditional. Hope you like this one too  Yes, recorded piano first.

J.S. Bach Prelude and Fuge BWV 555.   Now with the Fuge too, that I didn't play before + new registrations. Because I live in an apartment building, high-rise, and recording at night ,with headphones not to disturb people, I suggest you try to use headphones.

Midnight in space, Part 1 (working on part 2).

There seems to be no end to my experimentation with these 2 instruments, Pianoteq and Organteq. I love them, and I'm playing every day. To me, almost endless possibilities.....
The pianopart is Pianoteq U4 Midnight.

Thank you for your kindness and nice comment.
The entire mini -suite ”Midnight in space”, My ”modern” instrumental composition in several movements of different character, is now ready. In shared files, here in thread and on my Youtube as video. Hope you enjoy it

This music makes me think of my life..…

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (8 June 1671 – 17 January 1751) was an Italian Baroque composer. His output includes operas, concertos, sonatas for one to six instruments, sinfonias, and solo cantatas.[1] While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is known today for his instrumental music, especially his concertos.[2] He is also remembered today for a work called "Adagio in G minor", attributed to him but said to be written by Remo Giazotto, a modern musicologist and composer, who was a cataloger of the works of Albinoni (Wikipedia).

Updated with 6 Christmas Hymns.

Organteq Dreaming

Just relaxing with Organteq. Can't explain my feelings with this fantastic instrument. When playing, I forget day, time, food/hunger, place,,,,everything else......
Just enjoying. Love it.

Arcangelo Corelli (1653 - 1713) From Concerto in G minor for flute, violin and oboe.

Organteq + my own variation and arrangement for Ptq, with a 4-layer sound.
I thought I can try to make same piece with both Orgtq and Ptq one after the other. Because the piece is an organ transcription with pedal, I made my own arrangement and  variation on his theme.
To get a bit of the feeling of the sexteenth century, playing with Organteq, I  mixed up Recit Drawknob #6 CV (cornet) with 10 other stops.
Strangely enough, I still invent new sounds (registrations) all the time   Still love experimenting with registration, never get bored
Hope you like it.

Bach - Bist du bei mir BWV 508  / ”Be Thou With Me”

An Aria - BWV 508 - from the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach which was prepared, gift editing, and published by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750). Could be a gift from J. S. Bach to his wife to celebrate a very special occasion, possibly, either her 24th birthday on September 22nd, 1725, or their wedding anniversary on December 3rd.
The Aria is based on a melody composed by Gottfried Heinrich Stoelzel (1690 - 1749) . The Aria opens with the phrase - "Bist Du Bei Mir”, translated "Be Thou With Me”. ”Bach’s gift music book to Anna Magdalena is a simple song of gratitude, trust, faith in God and faith in his second wife”.

After his first wife died, Johann Sebastian Bach then married Anna Magdalena Wilcken, herself a gifted soprano and daughter of the court trumpeter of Prince Saxe-Weissenfels. They had 13 children, of whom Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian became significant musicians.

Thank you so much, Fleer! This sums it all up - Organteq is Roman’s fascinating masterwork!

Bach BWV 590
J.S. Bach Prelude in F BWV 590 from ”Pastorale in F”

To me, one of the most beautiful pieces by Bach. And wonderful magic Organteq registration. Thank you, Roman!

Cradle Song

Cradle Song - Harvey Grace (1874–1944) was an English organist and music writer. Piece is dedicated to ”Molly”.
The piece has a slow swing, from the opening solo melody, right up until the final chord. In the middle section, birdsong is heard, it is essential, and stands out in a unique way. In my opinion Grace’s Cradle Song is just exquisite with Organteq. Enjoy!

Many thanks. Very kind. And as I use to say in Covid-time: The more joy we can spread in these difficult days the better
