Hello my friends !
My hollidays are completed and I am coming back to this nice forum.
Today, I am happy to offer you a piece I have composed this summer, with my computer only as I had no keyboard with me.
It is an Adagio. It is easy to play.
I give you the score in PDF and a MP3.
I hope you will enjoy.

Friendly yours. Jean-Paul

Aloha and welcome back Musicalis - It is so good to hear from you again. I trust that you have had some quality time with your family and that the time you spent together will provide memories to be cherished for generations. WOW!!! What a great Adagio - Bravo!!! It is very introspective, reflective, and meditative. It also has a very *Franckian* flavor which I totally adore. As you probably know, many of Cesar Franck's students looked upon him as *Pater Seraphicus*. In your latest adagio you have captured the essence of *Pater Seraphicus*. An excellent job magnificently done!
Amicably,
CD
ps. Whilst studying the score I heard in my mind's ear the wistful song of the Cor Anglais 8' and Flute Douce 4 for the right-hand melody accompanied by a Bourdon 8' and Cor de Nuit 8' in the left hand. The pedal combination in my minds ear is Bourdon 32', Soubasse 16', and Bourdon 8'.

Only if I had a Grand Plein-Jeu combo for the left hand and Solo reed like a Trompette Militaire or Ophicleide for the right-hand. Of course, it would be quite out of character for the nature of the piece.
I really like the way you guys can come up with suitable registrations like that ... I'm way off that, but hope it will come with time and practice.
Another great composition Musicalis - well done!
Aloha Jonesey,
It comes with practice, practice, and more practice coupled with score study, score study and even more score study. I like to think of the slower movements as poems - worthy of careful reflection, introspection, and meditation and thusly, a whole other mind frame/set.
Therefore, looking upon the different stops/registers as colors of varying dynamics and intensity, one should judiciously choose the stops that will complement the character of the piece and take into account the actual organ that one is performing on and its idiosyncracies plus the acoustic setting of the instrument. Finally, the finished product should be in accordance with what the composer had in mind and also have a little *flavor* of the artist that is performing it.
Cheers,
CD

Thanks CD ... do you think that formal lessons would help me with understanding the music better and therefore making the correct registration settings?.
I've come from a classical Piano background and did the exams up to G8 on that ... I wonder if exams on the organ would help me progress as well.
Perhaps you guys should do a master class and podcast / you tube it!.
I'd certainly be interested in learning more from you guys.
CHEERS!
Aloha Jonesey,
Getting tuition on organ practice, registration, and performance is always a great way to get ahead. Since you have already take exams up to G8 you have laid a good foundation. Now you need to spend some blood, sweat, and tears and properly learn pedal technique. The Stainer method is a great pedagogical tool to help you in your quest.
Cheers,
CD

HeyJ-Paul,
Welcome home to MIMFland. Sure missed you around these parts and happy to see you return.
Another splendid organ composition from you is also a welcome sight ... always enjoy reading through your works, both mentally, and when seated at the keyboard.
