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

Published 2022-11-12
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 am also very grateful to Jacques Eloff for allowing me to use his incredible drone footage. Check out his website if you'd like to learn more: vertechimaging.co.uk/

Making money is not my primary objective. After expenses are taken into consideration, remaining revenue is invested back into BEAUTY IN SOUND. Audio and visual equipment is expensive, and I also pay a fair fee to all recitalists who appear on BIS. This is why I regularly ask YOU to help, and I’m sorry for having to do so. I hope that you can all see the tangible improvements being made to BIS along our shared journey.

  • Not religious at all but wow are Cathedrals the most mystifying structures the way they carry sound through the halls. This was magical.
  • @raul1899
    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.
  • 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.
  • @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!
  • This man has the best coordination I've ever seen. Playing 4 separate keyboards with his hands, AND an extra one with his feet.
  • @Duijnkiller
    Organ is most underrated instrument. It's such a powerful tool that can bring massive amounts of emotions
  • @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).
  • Interstellar brought me to tears on theater. I can only imagine how powerfull this must have sounded live.
  • @ToastandJam52
    I would have liked to be there in person to hear this. It must be even more fantastic!!!!
  • The thing about an organ of this magnitude, is that it's not IN the room. It IS the room. Sound comes at you from everywhere, all at once, with a physical presence. I'm not religious by any stretch of the imagination, but I can understand why this music might lead one to believe, on emotion alone. Very impressive.
  • @senianns9522
    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!
  • @SKRUBL0RD
    imagine being able to play this in a massive hall to hundreds of people enjoying this masterpiece imagine being able to play this in a massive hall to hundreds of people imagine being able to play this in a massive hall imagine being able to play this
  • @xenopis7862
    That opening to cornfield chase just immediately brought tears to my eyes. A brilliant performance of one of the greatest film scores ever written.
  • Honestly, there aren't really any covers that sound this close to the original soundtrack... Great job!!
  • @LauraS1
    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.
  • @markuss6889
    HOLY SHIT. I have never felt so many goosebumps. Just chilling and listening to this and my whole body feels like it left it’s self!!
  • I really wish you could do this as a public organ recital. I’d happily pay a handsome fee to see, hear and feel this on an epic organ. Blows my socks off.
  • @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.
