Dear MK-User,

The following four titles can be found in the MK425:
1553. Emmanuel. Michel Colombier (1939-2004) was a composer of film music and a French arranger. Pianist CHARLES SZCZEPANEK, who may be well known to YouTube viewers, wrote the following about the track: "One of my subscribers mentioned this piece of music and when I heard a performance by violinist Lucia Micarelli and trumpeter Chris Botti, I fell in love with the music immediately. So it's not so much an "arrangement" which I usually post, it's more of an extension of the melody line and the piano line. I bought the base sheet music and also filmed the video the same morning, so I hope you enjoy this very spontaneous version of a great piece of music! The composer Michel Colombier wrote this piece in memory of his son Emmanuel, who died in infancy..."

1554. Viva La Vida Viva Amor. This is the latest work by Franz Lambert with a few "musical" and "rhythmical" features - and above all: with some "sales-related" innovations. Let's start with that, because this is a novelty: This lively recording is not only offered to the concert-goer as an FL listening experience, but is provided with a special CD, where you can not only get the melody sequence with sheet music of the work, but also a complete "backing track" in mp3 format. An "accompaniment track" with the complete accompaniment! You put the CD in the CD compartment of your organ, put the notes on the desk, start the rhythm and the original accompaniment by F. Lambert sounds.

1555. Dür s Seeland. After a short-term MK title plan change due to a special MWP request from Switzerland, I pushed in this really successful Swiss folk tune as a KEY2 original version with three modulations (C-G-F). The KEY1 version is slightly shorter and only in C major. However, there are a few things that need to be explained musically and technically about “Swiss organs”. An "Örgeli" is a special button accordion with a predetermined tuning based on the system of the Styrian harmonicas: when the air bellows is pulled, the tone C sounds, for example, and when the air bellows is pressed, the tone CIS. Mentally you should remember how you played your "harmonica" from your childhood. A keyboard instrumentalist with the black and white keys can therefore do nothing at all with a Swiss organ - but listen and play it with the keys!

1556. Alfred Hitchcock Presents is an American television anthology series created, hosted, and produced by Alfred Hitchcock that aired on CBS and NBC between 1955 and 1965. It includes dramas, thrillers and mysteries. The "song" was used as the intro trademark of this TV series: Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette" was written in 1873 as an ironic parody of Henry Chorley, a music critic whom Gounod detested. There are many different orchestral line-ups based on the title - YouTube is full of them. I opted for a shortened "piano ensemble version" with the solo piano assigned the identical voices of the strings! Fun fact: when Hitchcock was asked what 8 shots he would take with him if he were stranded on a desert island, this piece was one of them!
