Baby Elephant Walk (Henry Mancini) Hatari - Nord C1 Hammond B-3 Organ Clone Clavia video free download

Here is my arrangement of 'Baby Elephant Walk'. Henry Mancini wrote the soundtrack for the 1962 movie 'Hatari' and one song in the soundtrack did very well! Mancini wrote a brief piece of incidental music first used to go with a scene where three baby elephants were taken for a walk. The little song became an international hit as 'Baby Elephant Walk', and has since been recorded by a large number of artists and in many different styles.

A few notes on my arrangement:

The original starts with a short solo flute intro, and I'm just adding the bass line.

The boogie woogie eight-to-the-bar pattern I'm using is not the same as in the piano sheet music, but I find this left hand pattern suitable for a baby elephant walking :-)

I'm playing at around the same pace as the original (120-125BPM).

This is an easy-going song. For a bit of contrast and tension I added some fire to my two solo choruses :-)

The organ is a Clavia Nord C1 - a Hammond B-3 clonewheel organ.
