God bless random recommendations
Yeah not to be weird or random (if you think my comment is random) but this organ reminds me of my grandma’s funeral so it’s special to me
I don't know about you, but I think Saint Peter's gonna call this guy's name.
The only problem is that his castles are made of pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Beautiful. Can't imagine how difficult it is to coordinate and play at the same time with
both arms and legs..
edit: y'all need to calm tf down. this is not about u and ur "great" skills", it is about the guy in the video.
Imagine walking and balancing on a hula hoop while the hula hoop is standing on a treadmill and try juggling 3 bottles the two bottles are empty the other one is half full.
If you practise a lot, it becomes very easy. I needed like...maybe a month to get used to it.
inesportillah I mean if you think about it you have to do a really dumbed down version of that for drum set
I feel like this was recommended to give a tribute to this decade
Appears;
Plays incredibly;
Gains millions of views;
Disappears.
A true legend.
Can we all acknowledge that he is doing this all MEMORIZED. Now that takes some skill. Especially for a 6 and a half minute long video. Bravo!
It's not that hard. The whole song is basically just the same four chords over again.
Nathan B. Your also forgetting the melody and form of the song, and also he has to worry about which stops to pull for each part of the song
If you put some time into it it's not hard to memorize. The human brain is capable of memorizing much more than just a song.
Mr. Lonely
He's effectively doing the same thing just a bunch of times in a row. No disrespect to the guy's ability, he's perfectly fine at organ, but it's not very difficult from a memorisation perspective.
@@JecIsBec Yeah it's really not that hard, seems hard because it's on an organ but to be fair it's very similar to a piano
That little smile at the end made it even more great. I'm so jealous of all that talent! I can barely tie my shoe let alone accomplish something like that. Bravo!
smalltownmnm392 if you can read music like me, I recommend mastering the right hand first then when you feel comfortable add the left hand. That’s what I do when I play a new song.
best proof organ is not for the chruch only
Anna Miller a another great example is the OST from Interstellar which also was played partially on the organ. :)
That's definitly right... I continue in German, because I don't know all words in english...
Ich bin bei uns in der katholischen Kirche als Ministrant aktiv und unser junger Organist (er ist noch keine 30), spielt in fast jedem Gottesdienst zur Kommunion ein ruhiges Medley mit Melodien von Herr der Ringe und der Hobbit... da bekomm ich fast jedes Mal Gänsehaut... das ist einfach so ne gute Musik, wie das hier auch, nur kann man das hier weniger als "ruhig" bezeichnen... wäre also so in einem "normalen erzkatholischen" Gottesdienst fehl am Platz... aber wofür gibt Jugendgottesdienste...
Farmer Zocker Ich war auch mal Ministrant, weil mein Bruder es war. Ich hatte nie wirklich an Gott geglaubt, also weiss ich echt nicht, warum ich es so lange gemacht hatte. Irgendwann als der Pfarrer anfing so gewisse Dinge zu sagen über uns Ministranten riss mein Geduldsfaden und ich hörte endgültig auf. Das Einzige, was ich wirklich noch mag ist die Orgel, es ist wirklich schade, dass sie nur in Kirchen platz hat.
I love that you respect the instrument enough to wear good shoes to play it!!
Michelle Dadson you actually have to wear special shoes so you don’t damage the foot pedals
Gwenyth Dymek that’s not all tru
That’s because you don’t Press more pedals than one
The organ: Hardcore piano with x3 the keys and like x90000000 foot pedals and some random buttons
You just have the same keys with different sounds. As long as u dont play 3× more keys at the same time its not more difficult.
You have the same keys, you have a lot of sounds which you can combine, you can even connect two of the pianos into one (I mean the sound), sometimes you have to do something with some random buttons and you have to play with legs also. And when you are playing organ with singing people, you have to listen to them too, listen to the pastor etc...
Up to 5 piano tiles. This is a tiny organ. The Buttons decide the high of the Tones and can decide witch other Instrument is Played. Like a trumpet of bells
I always thought "Ugh, organs are boring and only for church songs". But since I was in an organ concert I really love it. And that guy really knows what he is doing. Awesome song on an awsome instrument!
Fabian Bertl verry few peopple realize that you can use the organ also to play popular songs! I am doing that too
Organs aren’t boring.. and pop music isn’t the only non-boring music. Ever hear of Bach?
lol mainstream music is cancerous these days because of how and why it's produced and I don't see you even trying to listen to anything else besides it, so go fuck yourself bud
>joke, mate besides, oxide is a jew. don't know if he's based though.
>I don't think he's active in their community at least.
What the fuck? Sorry, but that's my reaction right now. This instrument is INCREDIBLE. The organ is SO underrated ! And this dude is like 20 years old ! I'm so sorry that most of the world is missing instruments like this with the music we have nowadays.
Organ is the wonderfulst Instrument of the Wold. *-* there is nothing you cant do!
The organ is termed the king of instruments. Fortunately, nowadays everbody can afford to play a pipe organ by using a VPO-Software (VPO means Virtual Pipe Organ, where pipes of a real organ are sampled in studio quality. As a console, I use three 61-key MIDI-keyboards and a 27-key, MIDIfied pedalboard. Stops can be set from a touch-screen monitor. Of course a good 5.1-Audio-System is required. So I get the immersive organ sound of a cathedral in my flat. Of course, it's a good idea to learn to play an organ. ;-)
Spot on! The pipe organ is amazing. Nothing beats it in sure power and it produces a sound like no other. It is also a very versatile instrument with ranks of flutes, reeds, strings, brass and percussion. Depending on the organ of course, as there are so many and so many different ones that are customized for specific rooms and applications. But, I digress. I simply refer to it as "The King of instruments".
This video turnd 10 years old 2 days ago. Wow. Times fly.
So great seeing a kid playing a classic instrument. And having fun. Because we need to carry on the skill sets for classic music and instruments and techniques.
Whoa, did you just played Viva la Vida on organ alone? That. Was. AWESOME!
Great job, Benedikt; with your looks, and talent, you should be greatly admired by your family and peers!
Krivulda YES he did!!!!!! Never thought of that song on a Church Pipe Organ!! Loved it!! Love watching these young European men play the King of Instruments. It's something you don't see here in the U.S.! Sad isn't it.
+Jim Key America is still strapped to the old adage that music is feminine. This is still very prominent in the states, and is the main cause of some farm boy running off to the big city, and accepting an alternate Life Style. The same goes for the girls. Don't brainwash your children over the "right way to live, according to your Bible! This still goes on i n rural and small town America, especially The South, and Midwest. This method of raisin' kids helped fill up the Mental Hospitals in the 20's, 30's, and 40's, and now some families are reaping the whirl wind
That's one reason why the organ is great, you can play a lot of voices at the same time. But viva la vida is not really that complicated compared to other pieces of music. You should look up some fugues by Bach, that stuff is impressive.
Dank dieses TH-cam Videos wurde genau das Lied auf meiner Hochzeit als Auszugslied gespielt 😍 es war einfach perfekt
Well played! I absolutely love organ music all of my 82 years!!❤❤
I find this easier to listen to an organ when I study history, especially this piece, such a beautiful sound this majestic instrument has, absolutely beautiful.
man, come to america, we have theatre organs that would die for this kind of playing
Sasha Nist or just stay in a country with way more big organs per square mile. no honestly the only organs worth traveling would be the ones in the sydney opera house
Markus Williams I’m pretty sure the commenter was just wanted to see more people like these in America so that they could see the organs more appreciated and have more performances there.
I used to rule the world
Chunks would load when I gave the word
Now every night I go stow away
Hide from the mobs I used to slay
They once were terrified
Every time I looked into their eyes
Villagers would cheer my way
For a hero I was, that's what they'd say
One minute we had it all
Next our world began to fall
Away from all that it had once become
They all cried for my help, but I stood there numb
I gazed off into the boundless skyline
Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
Turn around, pick up my sword and wield
The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
And hope one day that this chaos and
Destruction turns for the better
Never a bow in hand
And that was when I ruled the land
It was the creepers and skeletons
Blew down the doors and boxed us in
Arrows whizzing by like streaks of light
I tried all that I could to stay and fight
As the undead roamed the street
Families broken at my feet
Life itself suspended by a thread
Oh, why is it that I wasn't dead
I gazed off into the boundless skyline
Note block choirs playing in the sunshine
Turn around, pick up my sword and wield
The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
If this battle should leave me slain
I know Herobrine will call my name
Better to take a stand
And that was when I ruled the land
I gazed off into the boundless skyline
Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield
The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
If this battle should leave me slain
I know Herobrine will call my name
Better to take a stand
And that was when I ruled the land
I gazed off into the boundless skyline
Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
Turn around, pick up my sword and wield
The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
If this battle should leave me slain
I know Herobrine will call my name
Better to take a stand
And that was when I ruled the land
I gazed off into the boundless skyline
Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield
The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
If this battle should leave me slain
I know Herobrine will call my name
Better to take a stand
And that was when I ruled the land
MC Cookies Did you take that from the Minecraft parody video by KalosticoCraft1.0
@@autumnmead8354 It's the lyrics from CaptainSparklez "Fallen Kingdom" song (a parody of Viva la Vida).
Man you gotta keep making music like this. I can't believe somebody with your talent has only one video on their channel!
But he did get 2.2 thousand subs on one video alone. Thats not too shabby
I loved the way you played it. The rhythm, the registers you used, the build-up. Thank you very much! :)
Look at him looking back all humble-like at the end. No need to be humble, good sir! This is awesome and just went straight on my epic music playlist.
Is no one gonna talk about how this is from 2010
@BrainDeadCode His Twitter biography says he is the business correspondent for SZ (Süddeutsche Zeitung), one of the largest German newspapers.
o_O
best proof organ is not for the chruch only
I wish I can play it like that
That's the fun thing, when i'm attending church it's like a higher person (God) is watching us sing for Him and that's the best feeling that exists!
Nice interpretation. good to hear anyone play a good solid piece of modern music and adapt it to a beast of a pipe organ. good job in my opinion
Damn exactly 10 years is when I get this recommended to me, bless the algorithm
You know this guy is a professional when he changes the color of the keys.
This has got to be the most beautiful sound I've heard all day!
AMAZIN AWESOME
* looks down at 50$ keyboard *
Me:0.0
Mom who was watching over shoulder: NO YOU CANT HAVE THAT
Absolutely incredible!
Einfach wunderbar! 👏🏻 Ein ganz großes Talent so toll spielen zu können ☺️ Ich wünschte, so einen talentierten Organisten hätten wir auf unserer Hochzeit im Herbst 💒
This is literally so beautiful the music aspects, and just in general. I’ve listened to this about 20 times.
This is proof that organs are not use for church music! That was freaking incredible! Also since the colors are reversed on the keyboard this must be an ooold organ! Nothing and I mean nothing beats the sound of an old pipe organ!
I just know that fairground or tape fed organs are the best at recreating 80's synthpop
im so glad this video exists, i love this song so much i have grown up listening to it and now get so emotional seeing this beauty
This guy's playing is ridiculously good!! Especially since it's all being done at once.
I've watched this clip many years ago. It's wonderful to see that pipe organ videos can also make it to the 1 000 000 mark. Thank you for your contribution to the organ community!
Idk why but hearing such an old instrument that is often viewed negatively by young people being played by a young man in shorts makes me so happy. I love it when traditions are renewed and not simply tossed aside! Also Viva La Vida is brilliant
We're about to hit 10 years since this was made, that means this will be on everyone's recommended soon.
Think he's german so: einfach geil👌
Seine Twitter Biografie sagt einfach, dass er Redakteur und Wirtschaftskorrespondent der SZ (Süddeutsche Zeitung) in Nordrhein-Westfalen ist...
After 11 years posting this miracle, still have a goosebumps. Thanks Benedikt 😁
Recommended in 2018 great job man
one word: TALENT
TH-cam finally gave me a blessing that I can gladly accept.
Glorious! Thank you for this brilliant performance for all of us to enjoy.
That was amazing! God bless that this fell into my recommendations!
9 and a half years later this is recommended to me
wow
this is amazing
hab diesen titel seit 3 Jahren als Klingelton, immer noch super
My favorite instrument and the best music in the world...
I can die in peace
i really love how organists like him are bringing the pop culture into the world of organists.keep up the good work my friend
Mir gefällt es so sehr, dass es mich dazu motiviert hat, jetzt seit mehreren Monaten Orgel zu lerne und zu spielen.
Mich hat dieses Video dazu motiviert Pfarrer zu werden. Jetzt kann ich täglich diesen feinen Klängen lauschen.
@@diane2520 geht so, bin in Kurzarbeit und meinen Orgelspieler haben sie ganz rausgekegelt..
Saying hi to all the people in 2030 when this gets recommend
13 Jahre später immer noch schön zu hören
My FAVORITE song, on one of my favorite instruments!! WELL DONE!!
You are very talented and blessed this is a treat nice wee smile at the end too!
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never a honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
In tears right now. I love this song.
Acabo de volver a escuchar esta hermosa canción, realmente tiene mucho talento el interprete al tocar tan bien y transmitir la misma sensacion que la canción original. Bravo !!!!!
2019 Anyone, Amazing Tune
Amazingly played! And what a handsome guy. :)
Ahh thank you for putting this on youtube so it can become a sentimental piece of my life in the far future
this popped up in my random recommended and it's breathtaking. not only does he do the song, but he nails the notes for the vocals to so I can hear the words in my head.
I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times
Phenomenal absolutely phenomenal!
i keep watching this over and over this guy is incredibly talented
As a professional Keyboardist, I admire this moment. I did this in Italy and in Notra dame.
,1977. Fantastic Moment in life.
I also play Organ in the church... It's so difficult to play viva la Vida like you on the organ! Respect!
The organ is such an amazing instrument. It's a shame it's not more popular.
That's amazing! I love the song and now it's on the organ. Please make more of this awesome music!
this is so beautiful, i just can't even fathom it
Very good. Why haven't you posted more videos????? your good
AMAZING IN MY EARS
Genial! Hervorragend! ...so toll hab ich es noch nie auf einer Orgel gehört! Super! :-)
AMAZING
SO AMAZING
its just so good
no words can descrive the sound
This was beautiful. 👏 👏 👏
great performance. really good buildup all the way to the end. congratulations!!!
Awesome! Incredible! I didn´t know somebody can play the best song (for me) on organ! You are really talented, Benedikt.
My favourite instrument and one of my favourite songs! Beautiful!
dude, you're awesome. and furthermore, I appreciate the progression in the stops-pulling.
....und alles Analag ;-) wenn man so ein Konzert auf der Orgel einmal live erleben könnte würde ich auch wieder einmal in die Kirche gehen.
Ein Orgelkonzert ist etwas wunderschönes, ich war vor 2 Wochen erst in einem und habe es genossen
And this is the only video that he has ever uploaded - good effort!
The Organ is such an awesome instrument. Such a beautiful sound. Just amazing
Ok this is epic
Me: Hears Song
Also Me: *Fallen Kingdom*
I enjoy people like this guy. They can make an already amazing song sound one hundred times better.
woooooh woh wow absolutely awesome this is a masterpiece yes this is perfection of the highest standards the best organ performance of this beautiful song I'm proud of how this sounded it literally blew me away love it i can't imagine how so many people gives so many dislikes in the comments this song is so beautiful but it gets many thumbs up which I'm pretty happy about it is one of the best ever written songs
Does my heart so much good to see these young European men playing the organ, electronic or pipe makes me no never mind. Sadly this is something you don't see in the U.S. I guess the performing arts are held in higher esteem in Europe than they are in the U.S. :( There are only two companies that actively market console organs in this country, Hammond/Suzuki and Lowery. Makes me feel like my old Hammond and I are part of a dying breed. :(
***** Well I know that Wersi and Bohm are both German made instruments and they have incredible sound. It makes me sad that there's not one American playing the King of Instruments. Guess the arts are held in higher esteem in Europe than they are here in the U.S. :(
***** Actually I have 2, a Hammond A-102 and a Yamaha HS-8T Along with a couple of keyboards and a grand piano. If I could afford a new Wersi Lourve or a Bohm Emperio 600 I'd have one, but I'm satisfied with what I have. :)
+Jim Key Yeah! It´s very popular here in Germany, to play Organ. In our Comunity, with ~3000 members, we got 4 Organ Players...
Sometimes I like newer songs played the old-fashioned way. This is soooo coool!!!!
I appreciate the video very much as it reminds me of my nan/grandmothers funeral as the organ was played at it and we were very close. I actually played a piece myself for her, but thank you for making this video ;(
WOW ! Really good. A real pro. Thank you for putting up this video. Keep on playing!
Really great arrangement and registration !
NOW THIS IS EPIC
I didn't expect it to sound that great but it does so standing ovations! 👍
Thank you youtube for recommending this after 10 years !!
