• 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.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Here's a recording I made today - a fugue in D major by an English composer, Joseph Gibbs.

Enjoy!

Nicely done Mat !
I didn't know this one......Now this is what we can accomplish with our VPOs : record as many non often played works as we can and preserve a "little" history.... just thinkin'.....

Is this St.Anne? (I think I "saw" SIR2....) If yes, good registration and panning, or is this the at last installed Enigma?

Hey Panos,

That's so very true about being able to record and preserve lesser-known works. That's partly why I chose this fugue.

It's St. Anne, and you saw SIR2 all right :). Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck with the Enigma set yet.

Actually, it's Mr. Gibbs' talent. I just happened to play his work ;) But I'm glad you liked it, Teddy.

Hello Mat,

Re: Mr Gibbs fugue in DMaj. Many thanks for helping me to obtain the score. Now I'm away to start practising.

Delightful piece!
