• 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.

Curious to know what everyone is playing for Holy Week and Easter this year in their churches.

In my own parish, Maundy Thursday begins with the Prelude from the Organ Sonata I by Felis Borowski

At communion I will play Prelude au Kyrie by Jean Langlais

There is no postlude on that evening as the service 'continues' on Good Friday.

Good Friday has no prelude or communion in our church.

The service will conclude with Come Sweetest Death of Bach (played in total darkness) and then the tolling of a chime 33 times.

Easter Sunday we have Brass and Organ and my postlude is my own arrangement of Now All the Vault of Heavens Resounds in a toccata style.

That is magnificent Mike and the 'Choir of Clare College' must be one of the best, I also sang in Stainer's Crucifixion but only as a youthful treble.
