• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

Two wonderful works from one of the first

Contratrombone64

Admiral of Fugues
Let me clarify my title, one of the first municipal organists in Australia, he was I think about the 3rd at the helm of the monster at Sydney Town Hall (see my avatar).

I just wish I could find more of his famous arrangments, please enjoy. I can't play them they're far too difficult, I'd love Lars or Frederik to record these and put them up here soon?

Difficult they are. Especially the March , octaves in pedals with some 32nd notes occasionaly and full of block chords....:eek:
Is there any recording of them ?

Chekorg, have a look at this, too, especially the titanic piece

Yeah ! I see what you mean.

I had great fun with pieces to avoid at all costs !!!:grin:

I play one of them JSB Fantasia/Fugue in Am. It took me all 3 months of last summer to master it (fugue theme on ped is a little tricky play it with the chords with both hands, but I can now play it easy). It's a fast finger play;)

I 'm also impressed with the number 100.000 compositions for organ...
It's a HUGE library, if one can ever get it !

Thanks David
