- Jacques-Nicolas (Jaak-Nicolaas) Lemmens (1823 - 1881), was an organist and composer. He was also the teacher of Alexandre Guilmant and Charles-Marie Widor.
This piece might be not 100% suited for an old pump organ, but it is sure fun to play - sorry in advance for the places I missed some of the notes. I haven't had the music for years so there will be other inaccuracies too. It is a great piece to keep the key bushings and couplers from getting stiff :-)
A very stirring performance.
The last time I heard this piece was Lamar King, organist emeritus of First Baptist Church of Memphis, TN.
Lamar helped to preserve countless classical keyboard intruments in this area. Pipe organs, reed organs, harmoniums, harpsicords, pianos. Grand and small.
I wish he was still alive to hear your performances.
I know he would be extremely proud of you and your artistry and craftsmanship.
Absolutely wonderful! I never thought that this piece could be played with just two hands and do it justice. But, you did it! :)
Look closely. He has a ghost helping him.
Your technique is so strong! I used to play on a tracker organ that was built in 1890 so coupling Sw. - Gt. was a challenge for demanding works like this. Just fascinated with the pump organ in all of your recordings...like a different universe all together! Bravo!!
A truly virtuoso performance! Thanks and best wishes.
Thank you!
What a wonderful accordion!
Another very successful transcription! And performance too!
Many thanks!
Incredible sound on the Berlins to which you introduced me. Great playing. Beautiful staccato. No murkiness at all.
Wow.... this reed organ sounds as good as the pipe organ I play at church.
Rodney,
That was FANTASTIC!!! Cool use of the couplers and the knee levers. That Berlin organ is a jewel too. I loved it!
A great sound, one of my favourite pieces and I love your playing.
I'm impressed by your prodigious talent!
I'm definitely forwarding a video link on to our church organist. She will flip (positive) when she sees this. Maybe she will reconsider helping me study on a pump organ.
That was really great! Thanks for sharing.
Rodney, this is the piece that Becky really liked a lot. I could not remember the name earlier.
so cool, for such a small organ!! Thank you for posting!!
It's not really that small...and heavy as a truck (solid walnut and 100's of brass reeds).....
@MattsOrganCo101 - 100 percent foot powered, no electricity. The air assembly was carefully rebuilt, so you don't have to work at it very hard when you play.
FANTASTIC!
Thanks! My keyboard on this organ could still use more adjustment to help clean up some of the sloppy sounding notes, so as long as she keeps that in mind when critiquing : ) When I go to Michigan this summer, I would love to try this piece on some of the restored organs at the reed organ museum there, to see how different organs respond to a piece like this …
Bravo and what an ingenius way you had of presenting this wonderful work on this great Reed Organ. (Almost the effects exactly that a Pipe Organist uses, though of course the "tones" are different, but such is the nature, and a Reed Organ is "not" a Pipe Organ.) Applause!
Only 4 stops pulled! well done.
Maybe it sounds even better on a harmonium than on a church organ. I love this piece! And I love your playing! Your instrument is excellent.
Thanks! I used the left knee lever (called the Grand Organ) that works basically the same as a crescendo pedal on a pipe organ. On the quiter sections I release it (@0:21) and than all that is heard are the 3 stops that are pulled.
I just love this !!!!!
Very...Very good...Exellente...
I really like this one Rodney, pretty cool
Thanks James! There is no percussion on the bass - the reeds respond quickly in the sub bass on this organ compared to others. I think in part it is because of the higher vacuum pressure that can be achieved when the air assembly is as large is this one and because it is very air tight.
That's what i mean by no murkinesss.
Heel knap om dit stuk zo goed op een harmonium te spelen.
Fabulous!
+John Ferguson - Thank you!
Bravo!
very nice :)
@rodneyjantzi I didn't know we had a reed organ museum. Where is it located?
btw I'm still looking forward to you doing gospel and something from your son.
WOW WOW WOW!
Wonderful! I think this works really well on the Berlin organ... and it demonstrates how promptly the reeds speak, particularly at the bass end. Is there a percussion mechanism to achieve this? My old organ can take an appreciable fraction of a second to fully develop the sound on the lower notes.
Have you played it yet on the organ with the bells?
What do you prefer most? Suction- or pressure wind reedorgans?
Love it !!!! Where can I find a copy of this piece for Reed Organ?
I'm not sure if there is one... I used a pipe organ version originally many years ago and committed it to memory, this version was then adapted/transcribed from memory after that.
Maybe one day you can play it on a electronic keyboard with software to compose the musical notation to a file and then hard copy it. It would be great to publish in the ROS journal. Just love it.
Love to hear that organ. Is it a chapel or church organ? Does it have sub base?
from previous notes...Yes it has a very dominant/profound sub base (13 notes-I think)
How can I Get one?
I really love that piece it really shows out all a reed organ has and two years ago I bought my self a silvertone reed organ and I love it and now I want to make like a fake pipe organ out of it. You can also check out my videos of clocks to on my Chanel
