• 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.

Found another Tomkins piece, but played on harpsichord. Written about the time of the death of Charles II and the civil war.

Very nice Mike. I enjoy the crisp tones of the harpsichord almost as much as I enjoy the organ. Tomkins was indeed a great composer.

First heard it on Last.fm in an organ interpretation. From an Arkiv CD called "Vox Virginals" a mix of Elizabethan and Stuart period works on various keyboards, played by Rachelle Taylor, not a cheap one though.

I was pleasantly surprised at the number of Tomkins works available on Amazon including a lot of his madrigals and other vocal works.

William Walond, the toccatta is quite lively!


A Walond voluntary, had to increase volume a bit on this one.

William Croft, Sarabande and Ground in C min; more usually played on a keyboard, but I thought this rendition to be beautiful.


A new one on me, Thomas Roseingrave Organ concerto in D major


William Russell, voluntary on an old organ in NSW, maybe David (CT64) knows it

Maurice Greene voluntary


Wilian Byrd, harpsichord


Any comments about including harpsichord items here in the organ area? Many of the works from Elizabethan and Baroque were written for either/both.
