🎶 The Official TTF Music Thread! 🎶

Copied from the video description:

As a teenager, my dad and brother would almost always choose the films we’d watch. When they chose Pirates of the Caribbean I was a bit sceptical at first because I thought it might be too scary, but I quickly fell in love with the film and its soundtrack – it became my favourite film series and I ended up listening to the soundtrack almost every day on the walk to and from school.

When preparing music for this EP, I instantly knew I wanted to record Davy Jones. In the film, the character of Davy Jones plays this iconic organ on his ship, the Flying Dutchman – I think it’s one of the most well-known organ references in contemporary cinema, and so it is one of my most requested pieces. It is actually perfect for the Royal Albert Hall organ because the music starts quietly and intimately coming from a little locket – the bell sound of the locket can be perfectly replicated by one of the bell stops, the Carillon, on the RAH organ! I also love the fact that Hans Zimmer includes a little nod to Bach’s Toccata in D minor, another piece which sits at the top of my request list.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to this already. It sounds so epic!!! I’m just going around my room cleaning while playing this on repeat and humming along. 😂

It also reminds me of the one video posted recently pairing the story of the Fëanorians to this song. I always picture Morgoth at the creepy crescendo, and how the gentle beginning and end are heartbreaking for what was lost, first being their childhood innocence, and then all their lives except Maglor’s. 🥺

That was me as well. 😂

@Ent At Large, with your love of pipe organ music right now, you should listen to SRG’s video above!

Splendid. Thanks for posting, along with the backstory.

you should listen to SRG’s video above!

Thanks for bringing it to my attention..!

I have, of course, copied and linked the URL.

I also note there are others out there by Anna Lapwood. I particularly appreciate the one from The Davinci Code as well. I'll get back to others later.

Playing a pipe organ of that magnitude is certainly a "whole body experience."

(Don't worry, Classical skeptics -- it's only 33 seconds long. 😁)

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

A classic. 😁

In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of A Hard Day's Night:

Lyrics:

I come from the dreamtime
From the dusty red soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame

I stood upon the rocky shore
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I've been
The first Australian

I came upon the prison ship
Bound down by iron chains
I've fought the land
Endured the lash
And waited for the rains

I'm a settler
I'm a farmer's wife
On a dry and barren run
A convict and a free man
I became Australian

I'm the daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman
On the long and dusty road

I'm a child of the Depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushy, I'm a battler
I am Australian

We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums

I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian

I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and flooding rains

I am the rock
I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian

We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian


Here's a version in the Wangkatha language. I learned to sing this one when I was a kid at school, since the town was in an area where this indigenous language was spoken.

Is it an east Asian instrument, or the guy playing it just happen to be from there? Because it is giving me Celtic vibes.🤔

This hurdy-gurdy player is Russian, apparently. The instrument is used in European folk music (including France and Eastern Europe).

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

A famous Azeri Folk song, sung by people from different countries.

It's the same song, but sung in both Persian and Azeri.

Here's another hurdy gurdy player (she sings, too!):
