This is Halloween - Pipe Organ
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 жов 2016
- My transcription of "This is Halloween" by Danny Elfman, from the 1993 Tim Burton Film "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Recorded using Hauptwerk Virtual Organ Software.
If I get decent feedback and reception on this video, I am thinking of doing this regularly, making a small channel out of it. So feedback is greatly appreciated!
UPDATE 6/13/18:
Sheet music is temporarily unavailable due to website malfunctions. It will be posted here again when available.
I am going to buy a pipe organ when I buy my Victorian mansion.
Then are you going to turn into a vampire ? Because then I’d marry you 😆😁
Lol
It's always cool to see people playing popular music on the organ to bring it to a larger audience, thanks for doing this!
That's my goal! The organ has so much untapped "cool" factor, so I'm hoping to tap into that and hopefully interest more younger people in the instrument. Most people I've met don't even know organs have pedals, so anything that gets them interested, even as a listener, is a big victory in my mind. Thanks for the comment and the support!
Robert Staples Agreed about the cool factor. I'm in my early twenties, and yet I love pipe organ music immensely.
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat 'til the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll scream
This is Halloween, red and black, slimy green
Aren't you scared? Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the who when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
'Alloween, 'alloween
'Alloween, 'alloween
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody is waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Won't you please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is king of the Pumpkin Patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
'Alloween, 'alloween
'Alloween, 'alloween
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
And now I’m going to go buy an organ.
Shaun Poole Are ya ready for selling your kidney?
What instrument do you play?
Me: yes
I will give it to you for a price to be determined
Your fingers it's your fingers
I got mine for 10 bucks just look around for churches that want to get rid of old organs.
YOOO THIS GAVE ME CHILLS
Same
Me too. Takes a lot to scare me, but wow.
Sounds like Halloween to me lol
I love pipe organs they sound creepy
I FREAKING LOVE THIS!!!!!!! HALLOWEEN FOR THE FREAKING WIN!!!!! *excitedly adds this video to playlist*
Thanks for the support! I'm glad to have been deemed cool enough for your playlist! Enjoy! :D
Agreed
There are fewer songs I could think of more fitting for a pipe organ than this. Bravo!
Jurassic King I completely agree with you on that!
Davy Jones’s theme
@@isaiahspinney9896 These two songs are tailor made for it. LOL
Uh... Making Christmas!?
How about the one winged angel?
It's freaking July and there's me, screaming the lyrics of This is Halloween while listening to this on a loop. This is sO AWESOME!!! Great job, dude, I absolutely loved this!!
I'm glad to see people are still enjoying it! :) Happy early halloween!
@@rstaples93 Why, this is amazing! Happy early Halloween to you too, sir!
Robert Staples- Man I don’t know what to say, you are an amazing organist, and I love the way the piece sounds. I play cello but would love to play organ, and pieces like these really inspire me to learn it. Thank you so much for your contribution to the NMBC community and the music community❤️

When you know the song but you pretend to read it off the music sheets
Sounds great with headphones! Excellent work man!
Edit: Who’s ready for Halloween me!!!!! 🎃👻🎃👻
Looking forward to Halloween 2021- Hopefully no Pandemic then
I'm wearing my set of cheap headphones and never before they do not sound cheap! Never heard such bass before.
I was looking for a good vocal cover of this song...forget the vocals all together I'm so glad I found this Jesus great work man!
Portal _Fox thanks so much! :D
I mean Hairy and Scary creature’s vocal cover of this is Halloween is pretty good
Near-perfection! That's what it is!
DarthWill3 Thank you, I really appreciate the remark. Thanks for watching! :)
You've definitely got the right hands for the organ
YOO THE ENDING MADE ME SCREAM HOLY FUCK THIS IS GOOD AS SHIT
I play this in my hearse. '91 Brougham named Lydia. I'm proud to have this song on my playlist. Thank you.
Perfection doesn't exi-
... Never mind!
Playing it on the organ makes it even better - this is quintessentially classic Halloween music! Love it!
Thank you!
Great job, you made it sound like it was written for organ. I love it!
If ever a song deserved to be played on a full-blown organ. Well done!
Even the atmosphere fits Tim Burton's style... And the cover is amazing !!
this is literally kingdom hearts halloween town
Sounds like the kingdom hearts version :P
Great sound! Great organist! Will look forward to more!
Amazing. Truly amazing.
This is an amazing instrument to play it on, I love pipe organs
I contacted you and got a copy from you a couple years ago. I played it in a Halloween concert and it went really well-everyone loved it. Thank you for arranging this!
Gorgeous and perfect!!! Delighted this old Goth's black heart! ;)
Still gives me goosebumps and tears of joy 😃😄💜
I enjoyed your video here. The music was GREAT (and some of it being played on the GREAT manual!). I also liked your low lighting here and the pumpkin at the organ console. It certainly beats watching Jeopardy or football--BIG TIME.

A fellow organist
John Nozum, thanks for the support! :)
I completely agree, the lighting was amazing, would’ve been even cooler in real life if this was at a concert and there was the low-lighted auditorium with a light on the music and the whole place decorated for Halloween. It truly makes me nostalgic, just like the beautiful music
Ah me favorite instrument the pipe organ.
Well done mate It made my shed a tear
Top 10 Gaming Facts- nah bra
A Masterpiece
So awesome!!!! What a rockin' instrument the pipe organ is!!! I love Gothic rock songs and have written quite a few using pipe organ! It's the most awesome instrument there is! :-)
Spooktacular! Bravo!
Thanks to you mister Staples, I am going to learn how to play this great work! 💚
This gave me memories
this is relaxing
One of my favorite tunes of all time - and you gave it the real creeps!
This is excellent! Love it!
This is amazing I got goosebumps
Thanks, I'm glad you appreciated the video! :)
Awesome version!
C'est cool. Bravo ! 👏👏
Just awesome
It’s never too early for Halloween! 🎃
This is so Nice!
This was so cool. If you ever put this out to the public. It would be worth what ever price you put on it. Please keep the videos coming. I've been looking for this song for the organ. But I haven't seen anything for it yet.
Thanks for the kind comment! I really appreciate the sentiment! :)
I intend to publish it eventually, but right now, graduate school is keeping me far too busy to take the time to do so. Also, I wish to figure out the licensing issues before doing so as well.
Also, I've got another fun transcription finished already, and I just need to record a performance and publish it. I'm hoping to do so between the spring and summer semesters in a few weeks. Keep an eye out! ;-)
I understand that feeling all to well. I'll definitely keep my eye's open for it. I have to take my hat off to you. My mind wasn't wired for writing music. So i've kind'a depended on people like you to keep the fun and cool songs coming.
Are you using a Hauptwerk organ?
Ahh, well I'm certainly not anywhere near the real talented folks out here on UA-cam, but I'm trying to put out content that's not quite normal organ literature. Doing more outside-the-box stuff. Trying to make up for my inferior technique by doing interesting and different material.
And yes, I am! The keyboards and pedals are from ClassicMidiWorks, the PC is self-built, and the sample set is the Sonus Paradisi Great Romantic Demo set from Augustine's Virtual Organs. It's a very versatile romantic organ, I highly recommend it.
I look forward to what ever you come up with next. I'll never be as good as some of these guys on here. I don't have the time they do. But I also don't get paid to play the organ either. It's more of just a hobby plus playing for church for the last 16 some odd years. I do the best I can with what I have.
I've been looking for another home organ to practice on. And lately i've been thinking a lot about Hauptwek. Besides I can get more for less. But myself and computers don't get along very well. But having a 3 manual organ and full pedal would be sweet to have with the option of adding to it down the road.
Yeah, Hauptwerk is really the way of the future. The fact that it can be whatever organ you want it to be, just by loading a different sample is pretty amazing! And if you ever need pointers or help building a Hauptwerk organ/PC when you decide to do that, feel free to PM me here, or email at rstaples93@gmail.com, I'd be glad to help or offer pointers. I try to help evangelize this technology whenever I can. Or heck, if you're in the D.C. area, I'd love to help build another Hauptwerk! XD
Fookin brilliant mate!
Love this cover!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Hoping to have another cover out soon! :)
i found the instrumental at the beginning to be the best bit
by instrumental i mean the small instrumental bit at the beginning of the song "this is Halloween" before the 'lyrics' would have started
THIS IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAA
Finally what I've always wanted!
Excellent playing... I was thinking of building a Hauptwerk Organ like yours. Keep posting more videos. Thank you for posting
Thanks! And if you have any questions about the software, hardware, etc, feel free to ask. I'm a bit of a Virtual Organ nerd haha. Always glad to help others.
Love this

Oh man!! This sounds even creepier on a Pipe Organ.l!! Dude,, amazing job!! They should have used this in the movie cover of the song.
The dislikes are the people who cant play this is halloween on an organ with only a lamp and make a cool youtube vid out of it

I love your video and Halloween is my favorite holiday ever . I dresses my dog coco in her bee costume on Halloween when she had a cold and couldn't go outside trick or treating . she's a scaredy pup and shes scared of the dark lol
The best organ version I've ever heard better than that thomas mellan youtube dude
Hello, this is truly amazing 💕 could I use your cover for one of my halloween drawing videos? It would fit super well and I'd give you full credits obviously :)
Youreblindtowhatyousee certainly! I'm glad it's useful to you! :)
This is really cool! The whole atmosphere of the entire video is awesome, the pipe organ is such a powerful instrument.
Did you enjoy making this cover?
this is fucking marvelous, cheers mate
The phantom of the opera vibes
This is what you'd hear if Jack was a dark souls boss
YES
I love halloween
Wow, what a fantastic rendition! Can't wait for those other videos you've promised are coming soon.. xD

Never got a notification for your comment! Cool beans! Can't wait! :D
Hell yes!😈
Hello
Bravo
Pipe organs make everything better
Très bien et j adore l orgue.
I believe my correct response is: Merci!
Dites, Stéphane, n’oubliez pas vos signes de ponctuation 😉
“Très bien, et j’adore l’orgue”🤪

disney organ
Awesome
Cameron9999 thanks! I'm so thankful for the positive feedback on my first UA-cam upload! :)
Robert Staples yeah no problem I’ve been listing to this for weeks ! ONLY 37 DAYS UNTIL THE BIG DAY ☠️🍂
:) EPIC!!!
Thanks!
I can't' wait to see your other videos!
Woow this is Good is it ok if I use this for my Halloween special (with credit of course) im making a Jake figure for Halloween and I think it would bee cool to use some nightmare before Christmas songs for the video and this is really good
The sound of the organ scares me, but this is catchy
this is better than the original
Me: There's gotta be something that makes this song scarier! Like, Haunted Mansions, Creepy Caverns, the Undead dancing in a moldy cemetery...
Also Me: hears amazingly freaky song on pipe organ! THAT'S IT!!!
Perfect-o! You've made my night a Haunted Fright! 🦇🦉🕷🎃
Keep on playing those tunes! 🎹🎼🙏
