• 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.

A special version of Bach's choral

Corno Dolce

Aloha J.P.

The melody on the 8' reedstop should have a Flute Douce 4' and tremulant added - the 4' will *open the mouth* of the reed. I like this version of my most favorie choral of Bach very much.

Cheerio,

CD :):):)

Thanks Corno Dolce for your comments.

Do you think I write the score in E flat minor like in the video (but a little difficult to read) or change for E (or F) natural minor ?

I so fully respect your artistry as a composer that I find it hard to suggest something else. I can hear with my mind's ear that transposing the choral into the key of F-minor would serve to increase the intensity of the sorrow which is expressed by the text that inspired JSBach to write the original choral. If you rewrote it in F-minor I wouldn't mind seeing the score then.

Humbly,

Thanx for taking your valuable time in producing the score.

J.P. is that you're "realisation" on your virtual organ or is it a real recording ... hard for me to tell.

J.P. - look forward to YOUR answer.

It is my realisation.
I have found on the web several free organs. Then I have done a very important job :
I have extended all the stops ranges to 5 octaves
I have tuned all the pipes coming from different organs to the same pitch
I have created the stop that I could not found, from arpegio demos.
I have written a software to build ODF
I have now a lot of differents organs very reallistic.
All that for free, except hours and hours of job.

Our colleague CT64 has been having a tough go at work recently and he's looking for some comic relief. So, to answer your question: no, they are not talking about organ music.
