🎵 Hans Zimmer - Interstellar Organ Suite (Salisbury Cathedral Organ)

Hans Zimmer's Interstellar recorded on the organ of @SalisburyCathedral1!

In creating the Interstellar Suite, I have set out to recreate as authentically the music from the original soundtrack by listening to the score using a variety of high-quality headphones. Obviously, it would be impossible to include every note and sound from the original orchestration, but it has been my aim to reproduce the effects and colours that one hears when listening to the original soundtrack.

Movement 3 is a combination of two separate movements compromising of very similar musical ideas. I’ve indicated this by its combined title.

This transcription has been created over many months of trial and error, and I am grateful to my Channel Members and Patrons of BEAUTY IN SOUND who gave me early feedback and suggestions.

Much love and dedication has gone into this transcription, and I hope that you are able to seek as much enjoyment from playing it as I did from creating it.

I am incredibly grateful to the brilliant people of @SalisburyCathedral1 for being so helpful and welcoming, especially to my friend @JohnChallenger.

I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.

The best thing I've heard describing playing on an organ. "You don't play an instrument, you play the whole building."

[raul]

Hans Zimmer wrote this soundtrack without knowing what the film was about, he was only ordered that in a few days he would deliver a work that would express through music the relationship between a father and a son. And that was what he gave, shortly after he found out that it was actually Father-daughter, because he didn't even know the story of the movie prior to that.

When he delivered, the film's producer told Hans Zimmer that the film was in fact a science fiction film. And he asked him to go darker... And so he found a cathedral with an organ, and the reason is that he said that the organ represents the human species' attempt to portray the mystical and the metaphysical, that which is beyond us.

He mentioned that he could feel the human presence every time the organ breathed in and out the notes. A powerful instrument that will represent the presence of humanity before the vast and powerful universe.

Not religious at all but wow are Cathedrals the most mystifying structures the way they carry sound through the halls. This was magical.

[alantheskinhead]

I was lucky as I was allowed to bang out Intersteller on the organ at Leicester Cathedral. There are few bits of music that you can actually push an organ to the limit and the building it's self. The windows physically shook and looking in the mirror I think people were stunned. Even Richard III must of heard it in his tomb. The mice even did a runner!

[Duijnkiller]

Organ is most underrated instrument.
It's such a powerful tool that can bring massive amounts of emotions

[SharpblueCreative]

Probably the best soundtrack of all time to one of the best movies of all time. This is way up there. Zimmer is a genius composer - I have never experienced so much emotion in one film & it’s soundtrack ever.

[AustinBelderson-pnen]

This man has the best coordination I've ever seen. Playing 4 separate keyboards with his hands, AND an extra one with his feet.

[kubikfranz]

"Stay" ist das beste Stück aus dem Soundtrack, da kriege ich immer so massiv Gänsehaut bei....

[miojocomfarinha]

Interstellar brought me to tears on theater. I can only imagine how powerfull this must have sounded live.

[ToastandJam]

I would have liked to be there in person to hear this. It must be even more fantastic!!!!

[RalphLooij]

Huge compliments, Richard. Playing movie soundtracks on the organ is in itself already quite challenging, but playing Hans Zimmer on organ is even more challenging. And playing Hans Zimmer so well and sensitive with perfect timing is almost undoable, but you did it. Very well done (says a huge fan of this particular soundtrack).

[xenopis]

That opening to cornfield chase just immediately brought tears to my eyes. A brilliant performance of one of the greatest film scores ever written.

[grebnetgil]

Time to watch the movie again. Hans Zimmer is a musical genius by far. And Chris Nolan probably created one of the best and emotional movies ever. Soul touching.

[Jeff-mbue]

My first trip to Europe was in 1985. I was in Salisbury while a organ festival was going on. I could not get tickets for the organ concert; so, I sat outside the cathedral in the dark listening to the organ music. The cathedral was spotlit at night. What a great experience. As I wandered around the grounds, I was visited by the spirits of the ancient monks toiling around the cathedral. One of my favorite nights of the trip. After all these years, the memories remain vivid. It is as if I was there yesterday. Thanks for bringing them back.

[AndrewMclean]

Cornfield Chase might just be the most beautiful piece of music ever written

[LauraS]

I wish I could've been in the cathedral while this was played. To sit among the Purbeck marble columns as music rained down on me from above, dripping with history.

[atveus]

Imagine being in that chapel when this is played... Heaven on Earth ❤

[Knownasnemoo]

"no time for caution" is one of my absolute favorite tracks on the score for interstellar. i am in awe of hearing it on a live organ.

[Kiraiko]

Probably my favorite Hans Zimmer score, I think because it sounds so sweet and simple in some places, but still so deep and moving in others.

[senianns]

In the mid 70's I walked into a guy rehearsing here! We talked and I told him I was fond of Bach. He went into the Fugue a little! Fantastic day! Great place!
