The Stars and Stripes Forever - Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ

Happy Independence Day!
A while ago, I decided to learn this piece as a means of practicing thumbing a melody in the left hand, a widely-used theater organ technique (used in the left hand during the flute solo). However, I think it makes a fitting post for Independence Day, so here you are!
Keep any eye out for the next video, I've got an exciting transcription in the works of music from one of the most popular film franchises of the 2000's!
As usual, more information about me and my equipment is available at robertstaples.net.

Excellent! Happy Independence Day to you as well!

Great job. I like the actual "Stars and Stripes" attached to the left of the manuals while you play! Have a great summer!

[@rstaples93]

George Giblin thanks! :) I filmed this on a bit of a short notice, and that's all I had around to decorate the closet haha. Glad it was noticed!

[@jason01095]

Awesome!

[@rstaples93]

Thanks! It wasn't the next video I was planning to post, but since I had learned this recently, I figured the opportunity was too good to pass up ;-) , so I made this video quickly this week. Thanks for tuning in!

Awesome! You are super coordinated! I also like the flag at the left -- nice touch!

[@rstaples93]

Thank you for the support! The organ does take a bit of coordination, I suppose. But it hasn't made me any less clumsy in real life! haha

This song and my left hand don't get along at all with this song. Awesome job.

[@rstaples93]

Thanks! That's an interesting point to make, I'm curious, what part doesn't get along with your left hand? Is it the thumb melody part? That part is what took me the longest, by far.

[@2008truckman]

I should have worded that better. It was a long day yesterday. I have the organ duet version. Its simple for the most part. But there is one spot that my left hand and feet have a hard time working with each other.

[@badynwoodford]

Awesome! Whose the arranger?

[@rstaples93]

Badyn Woodford It's the arrangement by E. Power Biggs, with a few minor modifications. I bought it for maybe 10 dollars from SheetMusicPlus, if I recall correctly.
