TOYS AT THE ATTIC!Originally Posted by musicalis
When attending a (church) organ concert, in most cases one cannot see the organist. That's why I like clips like these, where I can watch his/hers concentrated and busy playing. Though it also makes me kinda jealous. (I'm only able to ill-handle the piano.)
Thanks for posting! (Liked the combination with the cathedral acoustics of the second manual.)
Very nice, Jean-Paul
Wonderful idea about playing the solo with pedals ... have to give that a whirl myself.

NIce work. Could you please tell us something about that "home made organ"? What kind of keyboards or samplers do you use?
thanks

Indeed - I was thinking the same thoughts myself. Obvioulsy four synthesizers and an "off the shelf" set of pedals.
Here are the explainations given by Georges in his Youtube channel
I've transposed the trumpet line down two octaves to the pedal board. I've played this piece using Milan Digital's Notre Dame de Metz Cavaille-Coll extended set. Since I don't have a trumpette like the one Verpeaux has on his video of his composition
I used the following voicing:
Receit: Cornet Trompette 8' Clarion 8' Basson et Hautbois 8' Vox Humane 8'
Positive: Flute Douce 4' Cor de Nuit 8' Salicional 8' Nazard 2 2/3' Tierce 1 3/5'
Great: Montre 8' Doublette 2' Plein Jeu
Pedal: Trompette
The trompette is played by the pedal and receit coupled.
The positive is played with the trompette line.
The great plays the solo part until the end when the trompette line joins the great (measures 45-48).
I'll keep on practicing on this piece until one day I can play it flawlessly. Why show it now one might ask, well, it might take years to perfect my playing of this piece and I'm not so patient as to wait so long ;-)
And here is the score in a video of my original music. My trumpet is a real bugle the notes of which I have sampled. I use it as the only stop of my 3rd manual.
Friendly yours. Jean-Paul

Hello Musicalis.
I made a home-made-organ from a Yamaha keyboard and 5 sets of harmoniun reeds coupled to the pedals, which also includes several instruments two octaves lower.
I used a discarded console from an electronic organ to put the keyboard, and it looks nice.
I will intend to add a picture.
Yes it is really nice. Can we hear it somewhere ? Thanks
