• 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. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Voluntaries on youtube

I can't find a rendition of this John Stanley in D (op5 no 5) voluntary on Youtube, I have it on a Ton Koopman CD it's also on last.fm but the only 2 versions on the toob don't appeal.

I've attached the PDF of the score (downloaded from WIMA) perhaps one or more of our performers might like to record it and post the results.

I much prefer this one to the done to death op6 no5, why one work should be so popular when there are 29 others mostly of similar quality, pllus his 12 concerti for keyboard and strings rarely if ever heard.

The scores for all 30 of the voluntaries, op's 5, 6 & 7 are on WIMA

all available in PDF, Finalé or XML format and with MP3 electronic synth'ed versions.
