• 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.

6th Annual Lexington KY AGO Bach Marathon

A video of my performance at Lexington's celebration of Bach's birthday. This is the sixth year we have held this 12-hour music exhibition, and the AGO is coming close to having played the entire organ works as a group. This year the theme for the AGO part was the miscellaneous chorales, Schubler chorales, and the partitas/canonic variations. I have a recording of BWV 770, but I have to pick up the CD first. Meanwhile, I played the St. Anne fugue during the evening as part of the elementary/high school students feature. As I start college in the fall, this was my last time in this part so I had to go out with a bang! I think it's pretty good except for the botched chord in the middle of the third fugue. Anyway, enjoy one of the most masterful pieces ever written by the one and only JS Bach:

Wonderful performance Mark.

This is one of my most favorite composition of JS Bach. Always a crowd pleaser and fun to play, too. Nice instrument, too.

Bach - can't stand his music myself and certainly never put any thought into publishing that rubbish (I jest).

All humour aside, this is a nice performance, I really enjoyed it. I'm totally with Lars on being his favourite, it's high on my most beloved Bach list, too.
