1:43 this is so powerful. It moves me like no other musical instruments. Chills and tears everytime. What a piece..
Glad you liked it! Thank you :-)
More like 1:40 , that is just so inspiring, emotional, and it has a LOT of harmony.
As deacon presider at Good Friday service, I played this recording of your hauntingly evocative piece. I thought it provided the perfect atmosphere for contemplation. I have played it many times since for my own prayerful contemplation.
Thank you so much Linda! It feels good for me as the composer that people around the word finds use for this piece. :-)
@@MortenMalvik_Composer I would be honored to play this piece that you composed!
@@williammitchell1864 Thank you! 😊 You can find it here: www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/adagio-digital-sheet-music/20966643
Superbe composition, digne de Bach......
Try listening to Seyfert Church of the Tales of Eternia OST. Very uplifting organ music.
There is something really special about how these organs sound. Deep and serene, what a beautifully moving piece.
+Ekaterina Thank you Ekaterina! Means a lot! Pipe organs can be so much. From the most delicate to almost frightening =)
Nice to see you here!
@@MortenMalvik_Composer
You expressed it very good. And you are a top Organist.
@@organgoesheavy Thank you so much! 😃
I love the pipe organ. When the reverberations of an organ hits you you become part of it. The music flows through you, connects with you, leads you.
How anyone can dislike churches and these incredible instruments is beyond me.
Each to their own I guess... It's a fantastic instrument, and a fantastic machine, I agree! :-)
That ls easy answer ......heathends .,,,sums it up
Though I'm not a Christian myself, (I am actually a Heathen/Pegan) I absolutely Adore this type of music, combined with the history. I have always love churches, and the calmness to them, almost sometimes an eery calmness that in a way sets you in awe, but also the history of the Church, maybe why I chose the path I chose?
But back to the music; This was absolutely a Magnificent piece of art! I got really touched - especially in these times! I will be saying a prayer to The Christian God aswell as to my own Gods!
Bless us all - whom ever we believe in! 💜
for churches its probably the bigotry, as for why people dont like organs i couldnt say
People usually only hear the organ when it’s used to accompany church service singing, of which the average opinion is that that’s quite dull. And the purpose of service singing is to express religious believes, of which more and more people start to have a negative opinion about, thanks to negative articles in newspapers and some extremists who use their religion to execute cruel things. Keeping the religion topic aside - the buildings and pipe organs (with real organ music played on) are beautiful indeed.
Undoubtedly the Pipe Organ is the greatest ever musical instrument created by mankind 🙏😍❤️
Facts
My favorite instrument is the orchestra.
@@WetaMantis he got us in the first half :>
Both my wife and I love organ music. If only she was here now to share it with me.
May she Rest In Peace
It’s pieces like this that remind me why the Pipe Organ is my favorite musical instrument.
The beauty, the grandeur, the power
Everytime I’m in a church regardless of why, I stare at Jesus on the cross and talk to him praying I’ll be reunited with my mom and dad in a warm paradise surrounded by peace and a calmness like no other.🙏 🕊️
How it kicks off at 1:39 gives me greater frisson than any other song I've ever encountered... I just keep coming back to this!
Thank you very much! Makes me happy to hear this 🙂
Oh wow! I got such powerful frisson i was practically vibrating
I grew up listening to organ music as a kid and had several relatives that have played on some of the best and oldest pipe organs in the world. After listening to this I want this piece played prior to my body arriving at the church as a prelude.
Thank you Andrew, I feel a bit humbled when people say they want this played in their funeral. 😊
You can’t beat the sound of a real church organ and the full range of the pipes. Especially the example at 1:41. Really nice piece.
Thank you very much Andy! 😀
It's very satisfying to know that there are still people with the inspiration and ability to write music that extracts the very best qualities of a pipe organ. The crescendo in the middle of that piece sent shivers through my body and soul. You should be very proud of yourself, and rightly so.
Thank you so much! 😀 I am proud of this piece, and from all positive feedback it has gotten, I've been encouraged to write more for the organ.
Just got new headphones, my first ever expensive pair and immediately wanted to listen to pipe organ music, and it’s so much better of an experience
Lol now I got a new Klipsch R-10b soundbar and...my god have I been missing out on a real subwoofer until now, it’s beautiful 😭
Great! Thank you 😊 A good sound-system is important for enjoying music at its fullest. Particulary classical music (imo).
Used this for a tabletop game as a villain proceeded to monologue their heart out and it brought at 3 of the players to near tears. Awesome freaking work man! So much respect.
Never imagined when I composed that it could be used for that purpose, that's great! Thank you :-)
excellent piece of music i play this when i remember my son who died of cancer 1 march 2019 age 29
I am sorry for your loss.😢 Thank you for listening and your kind words.
The best instrument ever made. Nothing even comes close to the presence and power that is the pipe organ.
This music is perfect for grieving. My Daddy died last month and this touches my soul like nothing else ever has. The lower notes south the buried pain while the higher ones give it validity.
I missed this comment, very sorry to reply so late. But I want to thank you so much for your very kind words! And please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.
This is how the truth searching sounds...Amazing piece of music. Corelli lives in this harmony.
By the way: I’ve searched for “beautiful organ music” and I got this! I really like it
The King of all instruments. Nothing more to say.
You're so right, almost better than cellos/violins
What an incredible piece of music. I absolutely love how powerful it is between 1:40-2:20. Very moving.
Thank you so much Jay! Much appreciated 😊
Very nice piece. I love to listen to slow organ music. As a child i always listened proud to my father playing the organ in the church. This year at the age of 88 he 'retired' after 61 years playing in the same church.
Organs have to be the most amazing sounding instrument ever created.
The legendary pipe organ. Possibly the best musical medicine for when your emotions breakdown. Then helps you rest and recover after.
Nicely put!
@@MortenMalvik_Composer thank you. This was emotional for me back in 2021 as it was the worst year of my life. I lost 3 members of my family one of which was my beloved mother who passed away from stage 4 brain cancer. I'm dealing with so much anxiety. She came in a dream 2 weeks ago and I felt her hug. This song will now help me clear any emotions that's building up.
My great grandpa died. At the church, this is what was similarly played. This sad music made me cry so hard that it was hard to breathe. And I cried like that the whole funeral.
I'm sorry for your loss 😥
thx
I Am So, So Sorry For Your Loss... My Condolances To You, And Your Family...
When i feel depressed i listen something like that and crying. After a some time i feel peace in my soul...
Thank you for your comment =) Sorry to make you cry, but I guess it means i did something right! Thanks again!
Same
@@MoskusMoskiferus1611 Just the same for me.
its a heavenly instrument...... amazing sounds . beautiful instrument in the world.
For me . . . One of the most perhaps the five or ten most moving pieces I have ever heard. So emotionally moving. Life-changing!
That is amazing to hear Michael! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Only great souls can serve as conduits of the slivers of eternal majesty.
Well done. In these times, it makes me mourn for those who can't be here, and hope for those who are.
Thank you very much! You put it very nicely. These are strange times. I think music can really help us find strength and get through. I am glad to hear my piece made you reflect on these things. Thank you again 🙂
6 years ago and I’m just now finding this glorious masterpiece that brought a tear to my eye.
Magnificent!
Thank you so much Harald 😊
Wow all this time I never took you to like the organ herald! But I can’t help but agree what an amazing pice 😃
The audio quality is just amazing. This song really makes me think about how temporary life is and why I should work for a better one
Thank you so much Zira! 🙂
Calm, reduced, soothingly focused melody and harmony. Fits very well to church and religious worship services.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 😃
It's rare hearing someone who get how dramatic organ should be played, well done sir, well done !
Thank you so much Elias! :-)
The Pipe Organ has to be one of the best and most beautiful instrument ever created. They're the only instrument with a real soul.
I am moved to tears by this composition. Forgive me for saying so, but I believe that your soul has been touched by God with this creation.
pipe organ is the best instrument ever. it is practically an orchestra in itself
"The King of Instruments" 😀
It's incredible how music can be so powerful! This piece tears me up every time I'm listening to it. I want to have this played at my funeral, that's for sure....
Thank you so much!
it was played at my papas funeral today. definitely a moving piece especially in the scene of a beautiful church.
I want to have this played at my funeral too.
Such an emotional instrument...It really pierces your soul
Thank you very much! 😀
I first heard this music on a game called Vrchat, someone use it on a map with a spaceship of the Night Lords from Warhammer 40K, je music was so beautiful for the ears and so immersive. However the map got shutdown for some reasons and i tried for months to find the music again. Here i am finally being able to imagine a world of chaos but with that peace from the angels coming to calm me down. Thanks for the work man !
Thank you! Glad you found it again!
i love the tones gives a solemn feeling a wonderful piece that invokes emotion
This piece gives me memories that I’m not actually sure that I had .. like a deja vu.. it opens a window in my mind with all special memories that I used to forgot.. thank you 🙏
Thank you for this beautiful comment!
I think that I know what you mean in your comment. It is similare to deja vu, but I can't really tie it to any particular event.
This is stunningly beautiful, thanks for posting. It will be perfect for me to play during a communion service. The congregation will think they’ve arrived in heaven!
Thank you very much!
thiw was just played at my papas funeral at the catholic church he married his wife of 63 years in. I am not Catholic or religious really at all, but to say I was moved heating this piece surrounded by the massive and beautiful architecture within the church would be an understatement.
Thank you! I am honoured that you used my piece. My condolences for you loss. ❤️
@@MortenMalvik_Composer it wasn’t even me that used it dude! it was an actual funeral service company called Della Russo in Medford Massachusetts! I wish you could’ve been in there to hear it in the big cathedral church. Such an amazing piece and hope you do more emotional organ stuff it’s my favorite
@@baseballinsights5995 Ah I see. Either way I am happy that the piece is used and appreciated. Thank you for the kind words! I am working on more, but this music-thing is just a side-project so thing are going slow :P
This might be the most incredible piece of music I've ever heard...
This is the best compliment one could ever hope for! Thank you! 😊
Beautiful music. I love the modal harmonies. There's a beautiful spot where I expected the dominant chord but the harmony returned straight to the tonic.
So touching. I get emotional when I hear this, I can't help it. Really beautiful, thank you.
Thank you so much for listening! 🙂
@@MortenMalvik_Composer 💞
it's the most beautiful organ piece I've ever listened to before 👍💯 (greating from a pianist 😀)
The most beautiful of all the instruments. Fantastic piece.
Just came across this!!!! Wow, love it!🥲
absolutely mind-blowing work man. literally jaw dropped from this.
Thank you so much Tyler! 😀
PIPE ORGAN! THE KING OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS! INDEED!
I have been listening to this for like 1 year
Great Music keep it up
Thank you for the kind words and support!
Hey man just wanted to say that I listen to this every night before I go to sleep. It’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Thanks for making this masterpiece :)
That's so nice to hear! Thank you for listening and for your kind feedback! 😀
a masterpiece.......not from this earth.......
everything fits so beautiful
I did leave a comment yesterday and I just can't stop listening to this beautiful music. It just transports me to a heavenly space. I think I will have to have a daily fix to keep me going . It is a masterpiece!
Happy you are back =) Thank you again for the kind words!
Superb, amazing... I have no Words to express myself the feeling, when i ear this wonderfull composition... May God take my soul when this adágio play when i died... Thanks Morten for this beauty!
Thank you very much Valentino! I really appreciate your words. And so glad to hear you find so much meaning in this little piece of mine.
What a moving piece to be playing on an organ...I have always loved organ music all my life and even as a child would love to go to church especially on holidays - to just listen to the organ. It is really emotional!
I'm so glad you liked it Annie! Thank you :-)
THE most relaxing piece of music on an organ I’ve ever heard. I was dealing with stress and anxiety but I listened to this while looking at the stars one night and it all went away completely and I felt so at peace. This is amazing!!
Zackary, that was amazing to hear! Thank you so much for your kind words! :-)
I hope, Mr. Debey, that your grand mother is it doing better. She is for sure a brave lady, who devoted her entire life to playing pipe organ. For sure she will obtain a fruitful reward.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece. It gives me a time to remember my youngest son, who died on my birthday in 2008. He loved to sit on the bench with our church organist (and she is a friend) and turn pages. We both shared a deep love for music. I do miss those times with him. Your composition brings out many emotions in me right now. Continued blessings to you. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for your words Curt! It's difficult to reply to such a personal comment like this... I am so sorry to hear about your son. That must have been, and probably still is so hard to deal with. I can't even begin to imagine...Thank you for the kind words about the music. To learn it can bring out such emotions and reflections in others, that is very powerful to me. I wish you all the best for the future, and thank you again for the wonderful feedback!
veldig bra jobba.. it's not that often that someone makes so emotional music using the pipe organ..
+AlienOrchestraOfficial Tusen takk! It's not so often I do it either :-P
Pleeeeeease write more for pipe organ! This piece is absolutely stunning
Thank you so much! Yes i hope to soon. I have a couple of new pieces in the works. 😉
Many see the organ as a symbol of terror and pain, yet to my it is an icon of t he human spirit releasing stored pain. We have nothing to fear from this eerie instrument, it is a physical manifestation of melancholy and that is not something to hide from. Sadness is an emotion that all humans feel and it is important to acknowledge that and I often advise that people experience such release, with moderation of course.
Thanks for your insights.
If by "terror and pain" you are thinking about the typical gothic "phantom of the opera" stereotype organ, then yes. Most people think of religious music when they hear it. When infact it's a splendid instrument to play many sorts of reportoire on. It's quite a leap from "standard" psalm music to the more elaborate romantic organ-symphonies. It's the range of different emotions that a organ can produce that intrigues me. And yes I agree, people need to release their emotions and feelings, it's only healthy.
This piece sounds like a story of lost happiness; to never find its purpose.
Thank you for your thoughts! Always interesting to hear how different people interpret the piece.
HERMOSA PIEZA!
The melody is sweet than emotional ,the composer of the music has a long experience of playing pipe organ .and the music is wonderful 😊🎼🎹💪👏
Thank you very much! 🙂
I used to listen to your music years back and now I am back here to listen to you again. Your music is such an inspiration. It is heartbreakingly beautiful especially at 1:41! Wow!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I used to play the organ when I was younger.
Thank you for coming back, and for the kind words ;-) Sadly I haven't made music lately, but comments like this encourages me to continue!
This piece is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Love it. Would love to hear this played live in one of my local churches.
+MarcusTDM Thank you so much Marcus! I hope to find the time to make a score/notation for this soon!
Musique magnifique, pourquoi ne met-on pas de la super musique comme celle ci à la radio ??? , je suis certain qu'il y aurait moins de violence sur cette terre, bravo et respect à vous Monsieur Edmard Elgar. J'espère que vos belles oeuvres que j'écoute en travaillant, s'élèvent ou vous êtes..... . Votre musique est une thérapie pour moi. encore bravo et un grand merci pour ce réconfort moral.
Best music ever for Emotional style
I am just hearing this for the first time. This is gorgeous! I love it!
Thank you so much for your kind words Dan! Reallt appreciate it! 🙂
Something so powerful about this to me. I always come back to this and again thank you for sharing!
Thank you for listening :)
Wonderful music, and - yes - its emotional. I can imagine, that someone feeling down and sad feels a sort of relief by listening to organ music.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback Harald!
Every time i listen to this masterpiece it never fails to give me chills❤
This make me remember my belated who died from cancer.. RIP my brother
My condolences for your loss. And thank you for listening!
Désolé, j'ai mis un commentaire sur une oeuvre de Mr. Edward Elgar que j'ai écouté auparavant. Cette oeuvre ( Adagio ) de Mr. Morten Malvik est aussi jolie et je repose ma question !!! Pourquoi ne met-on pas de la belle musique comme celle ci à la radio ????? Merci Mr. Morten Malvik pour nous mettre du soleil dans nos coeurs. Bravo.
Aha! Merci beaucoup! Thank you so much for your kind comment 😊
I dm dnd and plan on using this peice to set the mood, thanks for making it!
I wept, both for sorrow and for joy.
True. This work is able to simultaneously evoke these two opposing emotions.
I’m crying my eyes out
Thank you for listening! :-)
I feel like if there was to ever be an international anthem, the organ should be the main instrument. In this song, I can just feel so much!
We should all wish that there never will be.
@@dinosaurcj not necessarily.
For a time , this music is really emotional
I don’t wanna accept this but I think I’m close to hearing something like this for my grandpa
Wonderful !!
I had always been convinced that it could be possible to make also nowadays outstanding organ music, like (and even better of) the music of the past.
Eccellente.
Una musica emozionante ai livelli del grande maestro Bach.
Bravissimo.
This will play at my funeral one day.
What a beautiful organ!!lovely music..
i looked for music like this after the catharsis of Padme's Funeral in star wars hit me. this hit the spot good
I am planning today to start making an indie game about war. This will be the perfect song to have in the ending scene, this is very worth $30 to buy the license for!
I wish you'd put this on Spotify!
Hits the souls deeply
Thank you so much Dave :)
No seriously....more like this please !!
Hurry up already !! :)
❤❤❤ Good for prayers in church. Ilike that emotional music pipe organ.
Huhh, i... i just melted, so beautiful organs!
Successfully given chills
Very nice piece and an incredible organ !
Please, make more of this beautiful organ music and release it on CD.
I'll be the first one who buy one of these.
I am working on more organ music, but progress is slow... Thank you for your interest and for commenting =)
I LOVE THIS MUSIC ITS BEING PLAYED FOR MR JOHN TONKS WHO DIED 30 MARCH 2014 GREAT MAN TO HAVE KNOWN HEART OF GOLD DO ANY THING FOR ANY ONE GOD BLESS YOU JOHN YOU ARE SADLY MISSED
