• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

NEB - yep, and by me either - I love his music and will endeavour to find out a bit more about his compositions.

Our national classical music broadcaster (ABC Classic FM) played a piece for flute and piano by Widor the other morning ... was good to hear something that wasn't organ inspirred.

The organ used on Lef`ebure-wely. Well there goes the computer again!:mad:
The french word looks funny! The music starts out a bit heavy and breaks
into a polka like waltz. It's pretty! I wonder if there is the sheet music
for this piece.

Corno! I'm an amateur/enthusiast myself for your information! It takes
practice for us amateurs do get perfect like a pro and lots of it! He
probably has my problem. I will tell you later.

Sorry I ran out of time on that one!:( The library only gives so much
time on the computer and then it's over. Bummer! As I started to say
before time ran out was I've been working on a piece just as hard as
probably like the young guy was playing. Some pieces and songs are
like pulling teeth. I have taken a break from Toccata & Fugue during
the holiday season but soon after Jan,2,2008 the hard piece will start
up again with me playing it. I really enjoy it and listening to it.

Hi all,

Kevin Mayhew do a super 'Essential lefebure-Wely'; cost me £20 ($40??). it contains 20 pieces, including the two sorties that we all know and love - and are harder to play well than some would give credit!
