VGM on the 1624 Scherer organ, one of Europe's most important historic instruments

in Music2 years ago

Last year, my parents-in-law had a very special birthday present for me: They organised an appointment with the resident organist at St. Stephan, Tangermünde, Germany, where I had the honor to play one of Europe's most important and famous historic pipe organs — The 1624 Scherer organ!

This organ is one of the most important historical organs in Europe and features some peculiarities of that time, like a short octave and a (1/4th-comma, IIRC) mean-tone temperament, as it was pretty common back in that era.

Luckily, among a number of other recordings, an improvisation on the "Song of Time" from "The Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time" did find its way to my Zoom H6n digital recorder...so, enjoy this rare and unusual piece of VGM "remix", just the way "it was meant to be 400 years ago"! :-)

Find out more about the organ at the organ restorer's website and Wikipedia:

It must have been a great experience to be able to play such a huge and truly legendary instrument that I envy your luck because what I hear in the video is that playing it must be something really amazing

Yes, this one is indeed a very remarkable instrument! I've had the honor to play quite a number of organs so far, but the Scherer organ is definitely something special. More or less, it's been a trip back in time. :)

Dear @woody-mc, we need your help!

The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.

May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
