• 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.

Works recorded on GO

I've posted a few pieces inthe past, mostly "buried" in the GO2 thread

Thought it might be an idea to have a thread specifically for us to show our efforts at recording; I would expect comments and constructive criticisms to be welcome.

I've redone a couple I posted early on in my experiments, plus I've recently done a few that have not been aired here before.

Byrd Canzona

Jeremiah Clarke King William's March

William Boyce Voluntaries 7 & 8,

Pietro Cornet Toccada del 3 Tono

Thanks for sharing Mike,
Interesting stuff you got here.

My main complains are the way a midi file executes the ornaments (sound not physical) and that I'd like some good reverb on your excellent registrations on GrandOrgue.

I enjoyed all, Canzona most.... he he

Enjoyed listening to your files Mike. Some sound a little electronic ( Toccata ) somewhat and computer played. Think I agree with Panos on the Canzona.

Yes Bill, I realise there are many musical shortcomings to my using electronic means of making these recordings; however one of my reasons for doing this is to bring lesser known works to light, particularly from the baroque and earlier periods which I enjoy.

If you hear something you like enough to get the score and perform it at a recital or church service then my work has not been in vain!

If it helps I will try and include the scores as PDFs or MIDI files which can be imported to most notation software and then printed out, alternatively links to a relevant page in WIMA.
