• 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.

Playing with a harpsichord on GO

Just under a year ago I started experimenting with sample sets from instruments other than the organ (sacrilege I hear some purists muttering)

I started with the Blanchet 1720 Harpsichord, then I came across and downloaded the Sonatina Symphony set of orchestral instruments. More to play with!

At the same time I was listening to quite a bit of John Stanley's work, apart from the Organ works, particularly the trio sonatas. I had a Harpsichord (Blanchet), and a flute (from the Sonatina set)

More recently I've been hearing BuxWV160 on Last.fm played on harpsichord and bass. That meant preparing the bass samples from Sonatina.

Attached are MP3 and MIDI files for the Bux and part of Stanley's Opus 1

The Bux uses blanchetDbass.organ, 2 manuals for Harpsichord, pedals for bouble bass; the Stanley uses blanchetflute.organ, 1 manual for flute the other for Harpsichord, could have exrended to 3 manuals and use 2 for the h'ps'ch'd and one for the flute.

The links are to Dropbox, for the Bass and Flute sample files, (Zipped) too big to add here as attachments, the .organ files will have to follow in next post, I've run out of attachments/links

.organ files for the previous post.

I've included MP3 and MIDI files for flute and bass with harpsichord, I feed the MIDI files direct to GO using either Finalé or Midiocre. Using Finalé I can play through and stop any time I find an error, correct it and retry, just playing a few bars at a time.

Load up samples for a brass quartet, should work better than strings, recorder or woodwind ensembles should work too.
