“I’ll never forget the last time I saw Father Laurence: he burst in through these chapel doors, pale as a ghost and drenched. The poor man was muttering about something being ‘his fault’, but other than that I couldn’t make heads or tails of his ramblings. His gait was all sullen and sepulchral, like a man walking to his grave. He slowly made his way to this very organ, set himself on the bench and began to play. “From the pipes came a dirge most anguished. It was no piece I had heard before. Cries of pain, wails for forgiveness, screams of such devastation in every note. I honestly can’t remember whether I was weeping or shaking in my boots…heh, perhaps it was both. “And then as the piece came to its mournful conclusion, he rose from his seat and left, now silent as the grave. “You know, some of the other members of the clergy who were present tried to replicate the dirge that blessed…or perhaps cursed these pipes. Even dear Amelia gave it a try. But funnily, no one has ever quite got it right. If you ask me, they replicate the horror of the original piece well enough, but they never seem to be able to recreate the sorrow that was there. “Ah, but that was a long time ago, of course. No one has come by to even hear the old girl’s voice in quite a while. Now I just toil away, keeping her in tune. Keeps my mind off of the madness outside, you know. “Say, if you don’t mind my asking… do you, by chance, play, good hunter? Care to give the old girl one last whirl?” A completely made up Bloodborne story.
Hi, Sebastian! Glad to see you here :) I remember you had asked me if I were going to publish Ludwig Phase 1 on organ on RU-vid, well I published a newer organ version of Ludwig theme, you'll find it on the link in my pinned comment (Full album); it's not only phase 1 though.
The organ is justly the king of the instruments because it can emulate sounds of many different instruments and is able to be an entire orchestra as well. Many times when I arrange a piece for organ, I aim for the orchestral capablities of the organ, provided that I have the full score in hand for me to arrange it properly. Having said that, I'm not fully satisfied with this arrangement. About your question in the other video, yes, and in the other one, I later added those chime sounds which are not natural. Perhaps that was not the best option. Thank you for listening to my arrangements and for your interest and support, dear friend Carlo ^^
