Cornfield Chase (From “Interstellar”) – Hans Zimmer

“Cornfield Chase is a special one because it was one of the first film music pieces that I transcribed for the organ, and it started me off on this huge journey of exploration and discovery. I was performing a concert at Temple Church in London, where the Interstellar soundtrack was originally recorded, and couldn’t resist trying a little bit out. I posted a short clip on TikTok and it blew up straight away – I didn’t really look back after that!
This piece is also a favourite for me because we hear a softer side to the organ, with very gentle strings in the left hand, and flutes in the right hand. I love to show people the contrast and colours of the organ, so it’s nice to demonstrate how the soft colours can carry just as much emotional weight as the earth-shattering material.”
