Reginald Foort - Organist (1936)

St. George's Hall, London.



The Wizard of the Organ, Reginald Foort, plays three tunes on the BBC Organ.



After playing for a while Reginald turns round and explains about the wonders of the BBC organ. He shows us the foot pedals and the various stops. CU of various parts of the organ.



He makes the organ sound like a symphony orchestra (Quick cut away to show image of orchestra). We hear it sound like a Church organ (cut away to show exterior of Church or Cathedral). We hear a solo oboe, a clarinet, drums, chimes, various odd sounds. He makes is sound like a piano. He then goes on to play a tune. We see a piano - its keys are being depressed without a player.



Music continues as End Titles come up.
