My favorite is the transition from mvmt 3 to 4. The 4ths building one note at a time, reaching crescendo with the major aug to minor triad. At this point the oh-so-familiar chilling sound of the opening title, recontextualized from the game beginning to the game ending.
movement 3 is fantastic. the church feel of the whole piece just lends an etherial churchy feel that just feels good, like something you might have heard from Bach. And then the major scale version of Kefka's theme laid over top just strikes the "that was a bit different" chord. Then it shifts back to minor and reminds you that nothing's actually changed...
+Ryo hazuki Yes, that is because the Organ is always associated with religion and many people don't like religion. no one understands unfortunately that religion is just pure art in the most cases. As you see here as well.
+SonOfDephts I have decided to master Organ at Conservatory (Advanced music school). 10 years to master this beast of an instrument (5 piano and 5 organ). But I will dedicate my life to this underrated power of engineering. I am accomplishing an hauptwerk setup at home to start practicing. Still young tho. 18 years here, and I feel I am just too old for this. But I will made it. You can be sure. Cheers from Italy and please, just go on and mesmerize me more with your organ skills. I hope to listen more to you. Regards. Nicholas D'alterio. ( * A *)//
+Nicholas D'alterio That's a great decision, Nicholas, and I can tell you that it's not getting easier when you start it at a later point in your life. ;) To be honest, I had a smile on my face when you talked about "mastering" the organ within 10 years... A true master will always be an apprentice (or so said one of these Asian wise men), which means that you're not "finished" after 10years... :D Building a HW setup at home has made things easier today and also allows the "not-so-clerical" people to master this instrument without having access to a church or conservatory. If you're interested in reading about some details of my own setup, you're invited to visit it here: whirlpool.media-culture.de/organ/ Good luck with your plans and have fun!
I've always wondered why people come in and dislike such amazing talent. I can understand that someone may not like the song or the instrument played, but it's not like this is 'bad'. Much the opposite, the talent it takes to play the organ, the talent it takes to even play this song much less without messing up. Then you put them together. What in the hell is there to dislike?!
You can say why you dislike something without it being hate speech. Granted, most people don't seem to grasp this, but it is entirely possible to criticize something without resorting to blatant insults
"Granted, most people don't seem to grasp this" Heh, you can say that again. All I'm saying is that there's obviously things here that some people don't like, and it's better for them to click the Dislike button and be on their way than to pollute the comments section with hurtful feedback and negative criticism.
@@ThornHailsnap "hurtful feedback" "negative criticism" Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. After all, it's not like anyone gets better at something by being told what they're doing wrong. Just tell everyone they're amazing at everything and they'll magically improv-- oh, no, no, nope, sorry, almost said the ever-offensive I-word. There's no need for improvement because they're already PERFECT. Yes, yes, obviously. Real talk, I hate how people have seriously reached the point where offering criticism makes you a bad person now. How is anyone supposed to actually learn anything if no one can even tell them what they're failing to do well? If, by some chance, the person being criticized can't handle the criticism, then they shouldn't have gotten into a creative field in the first place. If you pick up art, music, story writing, or anything like that, and you aren't actually mentally prepared to receive criticism, then that's *your* problem. For the record, I'm an aspiring artist/story writer. I can promise you that I didn't improve in the ways I have by people kissing my ass and praising me non-stop. I improved because people criticized my work and told me where I was failing. Negative opinions are not "pollution". They are as much a contribution as any other opinion is.
@@damir_van_kalaz There's a difference though between negative/hurtful comments and constructive criticism. Let's say someone sings a song. Maybe it's a cover, maybe it's an original piece. Either way, what you're talking about would be something like "That was bad. Your tone was completely off and your voice was too quiet." or "Alright for a first try, but here's what you could've done better..." What I'm talking about would be something like "That sucked ass. You've got the worst voice I've ever heard. Just give up, seriously." or "Go fuck yourself, you worthless piece of shit." Also, it's not bad for people to say nice things sometimes instead of either of these. Positivity is always helpful. But just because some people might say nice things, even if the person isn't great, doesn't mean they're "kissing their ass". Chances are that they just want to be supportive but can't offer good criticism. Maybe they aren't familiar enough with the topic, maybe what they want to say has already been said a thousand times. Whatever the reason, a simple "I liked that. Keep it up!" or "You're getting better!" or even "Nice job!" doesn't hurt.
Does anybody have any idea who made the art shown in the background? I know it's not Amano's art the style is different and It doesn't look like Nomura's either.
I'm not gonna say that's the same thing, but it definitely makes this the best organ solo of Dancing Mad I've ever heard. Was legitimately worried the Hammond part of Mvmt 4 wouldn't translate well --- it rarely ever does thanks to being a progressive rock movement in an otherwise Bachian organ piece, but was very pleasantly surprised. EDIT: Had a brain-fart, the Hammond part is absent. It's probably for the best, tricked me into thinking it was done flawlessly.
You know there's a piano rendition of this song in the official "Piano Opera FInal Fantasy IV/V/VI"album. I have no idea what the Hammond part is, but if anyone's gonna get it right, it's the official thing. Not that I know if piano translates well into organ either.
@@jacksmith7594 Grissini project made it with real organ and I must say it doesn't sound perfect - it's just hard to make it as precise with such a quick tempo of that piece when you have actual biga88 pipes to work with.
Hey, ich danke dir nochmal herzlich für die Noten zu "FFIX Pandemonium". Kannst du mir auch zu dem Stück die Noten senden? Ich liebe die Orgelwerke der FF-Reihe. Nochmals besten Dank. Mach weiter so :)
+SonicMaster Sword Well, I think the orchestration from the UA-cam member Evergreen is pretty good. It's not that easy to tell what is really good or even better because it depends on too many factors. Feelings from a long time ago are very often the best, but i think if Uematsu had made a "cover" from today in the times where the original song were made we would like it the same. The game makes the feelings of music good and if we hear the original soundtrack - nostalgic.
+SonOfDephts it's not bad, but I prefer the original because it sounds darker and is focused on single powerful tones rather than many weak ones. This one sounds slightly weak.
I know it's been some time since you posted this comment, but if you want Uematsu to do a modern cover, check the Black Mages' cover of it (spoiler: He's one of the founding members of the band ;) )
The best part starts at 6:26 though. That awesome music was incredible 😁

It must be a real pleasure to be able to play that piece this well on a real organ.
It was a sampled organ

Yes that is my favorite part of the whole song.
Absolutely!
Agree!

The Heaven part is just the BEST!!
Very, very well done.
This is pure genius.
How does this not have more views? This is great!
its because is all pipe organ . ppl dnt kno whats great and this is Great 😊

You should complete the 4th movement, still enjoyed it though
Das ist so schön.
Masterfully done!
Anyone looking for part 4 (aka: the final battle), skip to 8:16.

So you'd rather that people write a hate speech on why this sucks, and share it with everyone for the benefit of absolutely nobody?

That one dislike must have been Kefka's doing
He is a troll.
Kefka doesn't dislike anything. he LOVE LOVES LOVES EVERYTHING! Oh wait, Kefka never lied. He just omitted. Funny thing that.
Absolutely amazing!!

The lady in the right *T* *H* *I* *C* *C*
Lol that answer came two years later
nice work dude
Do you have sheet music for this?
No, I do not have this sheet anymore unfortunately.
Is this a real organ? If not, synths have become almost indistinguishable!
Its not a real real organ. Its a sampled organ. A real organ where every pipe is recorded on its own and can be played as you want.
I'm not gonna say that's the same thing, but it definitely makes this the best organ solo of Dancing Mad I've ever heard.

THIS IS GREAT, who perform this? it´s incredible *-*

Just out of robo-curiosity where csm I download this exact rendition from?
Hey, ich danke dir nochmal herzlich für die Noten zu "FFIX Pandemonium". Kannst du mir auch zu dem Stück die Noten senden? Ich liebe die Orgelwerke der FF-Reihe. Nochmals besten Dank. Mach weiter so :)
+MegaNoXoN Die Noten zu diesem Stück habe ich leider nicht mehr, aber sie sollten im Internet recht einfach zu finden sein.
Which Hauptwerk organ did you use?
For this piece I've used the Litomysl from Sonus Paradisi.
SonOfDephts Thanks!
very helpful
So many remixes have been done, but none compare to the original SNES masterpiece.

Boo. Completely skipped the 4th movement.
most of this song is already played by an organ.
